Pettitte out after only 64 pitches and 4 innings.

 

Anyone who know what happened with him?

 

Some dude named Cody Eppley in, 2-1 Yankees now, top of the 5th.

Pettitte leaving in the 5th after a ball hits him in the ankle

 

I don' want to see the Tribe come back, but at the same time, I am all for their pen getting wrecked.

This is the day we've been waiting for. Offense explodes

O-dawg a hit game OVA!

Did you just talk to Glen Perkins right now?

 

 

He has a live interview with the Twins' radio team in the middle of the game...right when Dunn and Rios jacked those balls back to back.

 

 

Seems like a really funny guy, actually. Teahen-esque sense of humor. I guess everyone makes fun of him for his unathletic walk to the bullpen, how akward he looks.

 

Also said the key man in the Twins' bullpen is now Burnett, who's moved up from his normal role with Burton and Perkins the closer by committee.

 

Said their bullpen coach was getting so old, he called Burton "Jason" when the phone rang from Gardy...and then couldn't remember Robertson's name the other day, was about to call him "Nate" (old Tigers' pitcher) and the rest of the guys in pen had to tell him his name, too.

7-1 Sox.

Third hit of the game for DeAza already.

 

Apparently he's worried about Johnson and Conor Jackson coming up to replace him.

 

 

White Sox hitters at only .239 in June, but .302 with RISP at least.

 

 

Great to see all the benchers with at least 1 hit today.

Nice hustle by Escobar there to avoid the DP.

 

 

Everyone but AJ has at least one hit already.

Great to see all the benchers with at least 1 hit today.

Very nice to see.

Escobar is pretty darn fast

I thought De Aza and Dunn were supposed to sit today according to everyone here?

 

Because whenever a guy is in a slump, it's the brightest move ever to immediately say 'he should sit next game'

Escobar is pretty darn fast

I really like what he brings to the table....if we didn't land Youk I was pulling for him to be the every day 3B for the rest of the year.

Why did Ventura use a Sunday line up? Horrible.

Youk 3-4 love it 8-1

8-1 Youk with another RBI 3-4 on the day, 3 game hitting streak with White Sox.

It's nice to have Kevin Youkilis.

I am seriously loving Youk!!

Blackburn = Slump Buster

 

Yoooooouk

You already outproducing Morel and Hudson on the entire season.

 

Well, almost. Minus Hudson's walk off hit.

 

 

 

Dunn, Batista and Hamilton all tied with 24, first in AL homers.

 

4 RBI's for Dunn now, nice to see him back in the .210's at least. You don't want to see his average fall below .200, that's a bad scenario reminiscent psychologically of what happened in 2011.

Did anyone even complain about it prior to the game? It made sense given the splits and the recent struggle of Konerko and Viciedo.

Countdown until someone suggest picking up Youk's option?

It's nice to have Kevin Youkilis.

But he's not healthy, and the Sox gave up two huge pieces for him. Lillibridge hit more HRs than Dunn last year!
