Should be a real pitchers duel out there today.

 

But at least the Sox will be rockin the '83 jerseys, so let's all remember that very famous poem:

 

"It's easy to grin

when your ship comes in

and you've got the stock market beat.

But the man worthwhile

is the man who can smile

when his shorts are too tight in the seat".

 

 

Now start playing some f***ing baseball for a change.

I don't get the wise start

I like this strategy of "alternate the two left-handed CFs so that neither can get in a rhythm"

 

Or...maybe Tekotte will start tomorrow

What a major league caliber bench that is!

I don't get the wise start

 

I don't get the Dunn start.

Danks hitting .353 in 17 ABs against Diamond.

 

DeAza hitting .429 in 21 ABs against Diamond. 1 homer

 

Dunn hitting .300 in 10 ABs against Diamond. 1 homer

 

Flowers hitting .310 in 29 ABs against Diamond. 1 homer

 

Rios hitting .412 in 17 ABs against Diamond. 1 homer

 

Wise hitting .400 in just 5 ABs against Diamond.

 

Kepp 2 for 3 lifetime with a homer off Diamond.

The real question is....Will Floyd retire Mauer at least 1 time today?

 

Mauer absolutely OWNS him.

 

.486 with 3 homers.

I don't get the wise start

I do not get Wise around at all with Danks up.

I don't get the Danks call up, nor how great people on this board apparently thinks he is. Wise is currently a better major league player.

ONLY 1 needs to be on the team, neither one very good.

Game on WGN today. See you all behind the big screen. Let's win this thing for God and Country

More experienced, yes. Better? Not in my opinion. Besides, if you're right and he really isn't better than an aging journeyman who makes the occasional contribution, then let's know it. Give him playing time in the majors. If he's a POS the sooner they know it the sooner they can move on.

Got him once!

Good sharp curveball there

Floyd perfect through 1.

 

Whatever Gavin Floyd that was in the first inning, I would love to see more of him.

De Aza striking out a ton for a leadoff guy.

The Fox Sports North intro was terrible today. Talked about the rivalry between the Sox and Twins. Started off like, "For every David, you need a Goliath, for every Hafield, you need a McCoy, for every Torii Hunter, you need a Jamie Burke." Then proceeded to play the collision from like 10 years ago. Those guys just do not forget about that play. Then showed highlights from other sucessful Twins moments but seemed to forget to show the Sox winning the World Series in 05 or losing the play in game to Chicago in 08.

We look like we are on quaaludes on offense.

Trying to pull together the enthusiasm to boo Adam Dunn but half-hearted at best.

Crowd half asleep already watching this offense.

White Sox 2013: OBLIVION

 

 

Hawkins now with 32 K's in 49 AB's...another one in his first AB today.

 

And we thought 2007 was bad.

So far Gavin is throwing great today, he just needs to lay off the cutter

Nice to know the 83 Sox started 16-24 and ended up winning 99.

So far Gavin is throwing great today, he just needs to lay off the cutter

Seems like forever since the last time Gavin gave up 0 or 1 run in 7 or 8 innings.
