This is what Chris Sale is for. Forget the past, destroy these clowns and get back to our winning ways! GO SOX!!!!!

So good to have a game today. Days off are depressing.

Looking at the weather for tonight & tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them gets rained out.

I wouldn't mind that.

 

Gonzalez in Yankee Stadium isn't ideal. I'd much rather have him face the Astros at the Cell.

The forecast for tonight looks good once the rain stops. They should play all three games uninterrupted after the first pitch is thrown.

Have to think Ynoa is getting called up, unless they're throwing Turner or Volstad in the pen now. Goldberg threw two innings yesterday, so if it were him, he probably wouldn't have done that.

Thank god baseball is back. I was way too productive last night.

Ynoa's control is about as predictable as Miguel Cleto's...well, maybe not THAT bad. But I wouldn't bet on it being Ynoa. Too inexperienced.

I hope you're right. Looking at boxscores some nights, he blows games left and right.

 

I'd be down for one of the Charlotte starters being in the pen and put up some innings when Rodon and Gonzalez have short outings. The "good pen" guys- Albers, Duke, Jones, Putnam- have to be protected more.

 

And now that Ranaudo is there, maybe he's starting again.

I think it's just Webb. His 15 days is up today which is why they wouldn't have been able to announce anything yesterday.

Didn't realize it's been that long already. Makes sense too.

Yankees calling up Gary Sanchez

Sale has a legit shot at winning 20 games this year. Pretty cool.

Given what we've seen so far - he's got a legit shot at 30

Never going to get a chance to start a thread with all these morning birds starting game threads at 6!

Huge mismatch pitching wise tonight. Let's hope it stays that way and something strange doesn't happen during the game itself.

Sportscenter just did a good segment on the Sox success. Kicked it off with a lame Laroche segment but Kurkijan put that to bed.

 

Have to imagine ESPN doing a longer segment on the Sox the same day they kickoff a series vs the Yankees isn't a coincidence, but I'll take it.

Severino's been handing out homers on a silver platter recently.

I'm calling an Abreu opposite field bomb today. That wall is so close in right field that a good fly out might get over.

Matt Purke got called up, 25-year-old lefty.

He's got the award for goofiest looking dude ever on lock down.

Dan Plesac in the booth this weekend for Steve, correct?

 

It seems Stone gets a weekend off each half. Usually he picks crappy cities for his time off. I guess the day off before and after were the motivation for this one.

The White Sox are 4-13 over the last 17 games vs. the Yankees, and 1-11 in the last 12 at Yankee Stadium.

 

The good news though
