Great lineup.

Leave It to Peaver.

 

Jaker,

Don't be a faker

don't be a flaker

And especially don't be a wanker

Be the bagel baker

And be the win taker

 

Shaka ya White Sox hanka

And moneymaka

GO WHITE SOX

WIN

Rah rah rah

 

 

A sweep would be so sweet

A sweep would be so sweet

 

All we need is one more win to make it happen

Weird that the Indians/Tigers game is starting one hour after ours...

 

NFL/Sundays.

Ball is carrying VERY well today.

 

Mauer OPPO shot over Viciedo AND the wall at 377 mark makes it 1-0. Seems even though he doesn't homer as much as his MVP year or in the new stadium, he always kills us.

 

Center cut fastball in his happy zone.

8 of 23 Rios homers this year have come against the Twins.

 

Very nice running catch by transplanted 1B Chris "Bernie" Parmelee down the RF line.

Peavy's almost matched his total for HR allowed in the first half during the second half in 47 less innings.

Watching FSN North I take it.

This is where Ventura consistently overworking Peavy in the first half of the season is having some pretty obvious negative consequences.

 

Location on his fastball just not quite pinpoint. Left another one out over the plate against Parmelee, too. Got away with it.

Yep.

 

Offspeed stuff much sharper that inning for Jakemeister.

TF has been getting a lot of walks lately it seems. Good to see.

Whatever works Beckham.

Nice approach there by D-Wise against a lefty with 1 out and a runner at 3rd.

 

Really need DeAza back against the Tigers, he's played so well against them this year....2/21 slump has him out of the line-up today against the lefty.

Dang Youk just missed that by a foot. Still will take the double though.

Sox fans complain the starters are overworked and also complain when Ventura uses any reliever other than Veal. What is he supposed to do?

 

YOUK crushes the 3-1 fastball and almost made it out for his 20th homer of the season...ball jumping today.

 

Darn.

 

C'mon Dunner. Need a clutch hit out of you.

 

Diamond might be dealing with the same issues Peavy, Sale and Quintana are going through with tired arms.

Whatever works Beckham.

 

What happened for those of us following the game by alternative means?

+1. It's amazing how quickly Veal has become the left handed second coming of Mariano Rivera on this board. Let's hope he continues to do his job so we can continue to praise him!

Fathom could probably give specific examples, but a lot of them were games that were already well in hand and he left him in for an extra inning or two...or games that the White Sox were fairly far behind and he should have been pulled as well.

 

Just seems that they were going to get every cent's worth out of Jake in terms of his IP this year.

 

What happened for those of us following the game by alternative means?

 

Beckham hit a liner off Diamond's left shoe/spikes and it went into RF for a single and extended the inning to Wise/Youk.

 

Created that 1st and 3rd situation after Flowers walked nicely, setting up D-Wise sac fly.

 

 

7 in a row retired by Peavy, helpful only 9 pitches that inning. Last time out, the pitch count was a big area of debate about his performance against the Tigers.

 

 

 

Yankees all over the Rays early, A's amazingly only 2 games behind the Rangers with 7 more head-to-head down the stretch. Melvin clearly will win American League Manager of the Year. Johnson, Matheny (maybe) and Gonzalez in the NL.
