#WhiteSox lineup for 6/27: L. Garcia 8, Beckham 4, Gillaspie 5, Abreu 3, Dunn DH, Ramirez 6, Viciedo 9, De Aza 7, Flowers 2. Danks 1.

Dickey's pitching. I wonder what kind of experience Abreu has hitting knuckleballs. Anybody know if it's thrown much in Cuba?

With this killer offensive line-up, we'll see which Danks (over the last 5-6 weeks) is the real one and which is the imposter.

Will the Jays cover the 1 1/2 spread?

I think our boys have a little better shot at success tonight.

I hope so.

Reminiscent of Juan Pierre leading off...giving the most at-bats in a game to Leury.

 

RA Dickey climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, there's that (although it's the easiest of the 7 continents in terms of scaling the tallest summit).

 

Beckham close to falling into the .250's for the first time since the 7-10 day period after he returned from the oblique.

 

 

So much for the White Sox offense. Surely facing a knuckleballer is unlikely to help...

Hawk with a load of crap tonight.........saying when GB and Alexi make errors it is ok with the pitchers because of all the GREAT plays those 2 make. Pitchers on the Sox do have a issue with the outfielders on this team making errors. This team is so dead Hawks conversation has fallen to this after Alexi makes yet another error.

What the hell is that beeping noise and when the hell will it stop

You read my mind it is annoying as hell like a truck backing up. It is the old fire alarm

Yea, Garcia is totally the guy you want getting the most ABs. It's little things like this with Robin that add up. Just move Beckham up FFS and bat Garcia 9th.

 

Or, you KNOW DE AZA IS HOT TRY HIM.

 

It's like the conventional, silly manager thing to do, would be to play the hot hand, small sample size wizard De Aza at leadoff. (which I'm fine with, try and capture some lightning in a bottle). But instead he goes the Jim Leyland route and puts him leadoff, batting where the guy he replaced does.

Looks like someone pulled the fire alarm in center

Beckham would have been fine since he sucks when anyone is on base

 

I like how the umpire is somehow in charge of the administrative parts of the stadium by making these phone calls to turn off these lights.

I also like how no fans give a f*** the fire alarm is going off.

Robin seemingly never does the conventionally sub-optimal thing, he always does the unconventionaly, even subber optimal thing.

Alexei is playing awful baseball all around of late. Just have to hope it's not too late to get value for him.

That's exactly what Ozzie used to do. Small fast guy must lead off if they're in the lineup regardless of their actual ability with the bat.

16 innings since Sox last scored

Was that De Aza running?

You're right about Leyland doing that; I never agreed with that logic. I remember years ago when he was manager of the Rockies (for one year), Larry Walker in his prime was dinged up for a day and Leyland decided to rest him and replace with with somebody hitting a buck eighty. Naturally. Leyland batted the guy third, and the Press roasted him.

Terrific defense on that all around though.

It is.

De Aza that was a strike.
