Well since I'm bored and can't wait for the game to start, I figured I'd go ahead and start up the game thread.

 

This is a big one tonight (as they all are now) as Bartolo, who some refer to as the Tub of Goo, faces off against Tim Wakefield and the Bo Sox.

 

Let's hope for a White Sox winner tonight, we surely need it.

 

Someone else has gotta do pbp tonight for me...I'm going to the ISU football game.

Lineups, for anyone that wants them:

 

Alomar, R, 2B .260

Lee, LF .289

Thomas, DH .265

Ordonez, RF .321

Everett, CF .286

Konerko, 1B .251

Valentin, SS .232

Crede, 3B .261

Olivo, C .230

 

Damon, CF .276

Walker, 2B .279

Garciaparra, SS .311

Ramirez, LF .322

Ortiz, DH .289

Millar, 1B .276

Mueller, 3B .333

Mirabelli, C .264

Kapler, RF .263

I hope Everett has another nice game. We're also going to seriously need Robbie and CLee to step up tonight. Also good to see Mirabelli in the lineup instead of Varitek. I just hope that the knuckleball is not too good tonight.

We need to score early and often tonight....

 

So sit back, relax and strap it down

I'll be checking in from time to time. I understand that I was blamed for last nights loss so I am taking steps to make amends. I am weqring my Sox hat around the house tonight. Let's go get 'em Sox.

I'm getting f***ing sick of f***ing popups. That is all.

man carlos is almost at the 20-20 plateau it would be great to see him get it and improve on it next year!

Pop ups, ground outs and lazy flies. You can't score that way.

all the pops, swining for the fences early.

Is that in your expert opinion?

Leadoff single, but Miguel guns him down stealing second.

An update from Detroit. The Royals scored 2 in the top of the 1st. Meanwhile, the Twins are scoreless in the bottom of the 1st in Cleveland.

i dont want to hear how they are doing not yet at least until this game is decided

that was fast 1-2-3 two Ks for wake

The Sox need to quit swinging for home runs.

 

Need to just get hits against Wakefield and score some damn runs.

 

Let's hope Bartolo pitches well...

We have advanced from popups to strikeouts.

Sox need tonights game bad :fthecubs

Rooney just said one of the fastballs Bartolo threw to Manny was one of the best he's seen from Colon in the past few weeks.

 

Manny grounds out to Robbie.

i like b(f)artolo best when he challenges the guys with his gas

Ortiz grounds out to Alomar, 2 down.

Millar flies out to deep left, we're going to the 3rd, 0-0.

This is not the way the Sox needed to start out offensively tonight.

What a surprise, Olivo strikes out...

K for slo(w)livo

mabye the seconed time around for the hitters will work in are favor.

Maybe the twins plane will crash, too.
