Mitchell vs Danks

 

6-2 the next 8, or die.

So since Danks is starting you mean 6-1 in the next 7?

This really is a must-win tonight, if you think the Sox have any hope. This Bryan Mitchell is their Scott Carroll/Dylan Axelrod type.

C'mon Danks. I'll even speak kindly of you from now on (crosses fingers behind the back). Sox can't afford to drop another one today.

Somebody needs to do a pattern on the season. The Sox appear to be awfully streaky to me. Losing 3 in a row and falling four under .500 again would pretty much signal white flag time considering Toronto, the O's, the Rangers and even the Twins (playing Cleveland 13 more times) would appear to be way better teams than Chicago. The "why not us?" mentality that one of the beat writers suggested was the team motto the second half will be silly if the team loses today and makes it 3 in a row after the 7 game win streak. Like you said it really is a must win. Time to give up again if they lose tonight.

Too late. Had to raise the flag by 4:00 pm Friday. Now we get cannon fire until either we sink or emerge victorious.

Ok. I botched it last night. Well since Greg thinks Danks is amazing half the time then he'll be amazing tonight. Am I right?

If he is perfectly on he can still dominate, but the Yankees will not help him out.

IIRC, he pitched 8 scoreless last season against them.

I wouldn't count on it.

What happened to Shuck? I missed it.

Love that Ventura flip flopped Sanchez and Flowers.

 

John is keeping the ball down. Good sign.

Jump on him offense

Eaton's OBP has been outstanding

Still can't believe Danks hit 93. Haven't seen him hit 93 post surgery at all.

ABREU!!

OFFENSE!

Jose!!!

Abreu is killing the ball now

Eaton taping his knee - he ok?

Singles! Doubles! Walks!
