Uh, that is pretty damn good. If the team hits .300 with RISP all year, it will be a good thing. Not sure what the reporter was thinking with that line. Ozzie needs to calm the f*** down and remember that it's a long season.

This game is zipping right along.

You're kidding right? He's 25, and not at all that great. Cabrera is a 3 years younger, and almost twice as good the hitter, from OPS+ anyways.

I'm sick of the "bench Uribe" comments. It's one thing to bench BA for starting slow, another thing to bench a proven starter like Uribe. His defense is >>> better than Cintron or Pablo at the most critical position on the field, especially with our groundball pitchers.

There is the benefit of being a "strikeout" pitcher, if that is indeed at all what Garcia is now.

Singleton.

This thread is still getting burn partly because it's an offday. It's f***ing boring tonight. Here's something completely different: Isiah Thomas, Matt Millen, or Jim Hendry?

I like the NYT's.

The White Sox just have to take care of business and win at least 93 games. 90% of the time, that will make the playoffs. And in the playoffs, anything can happen.

With as much as I browse Soxtalk during work, I think you guys should start paying me instead of my boss! :-P

Yep. The Sox don't have alot of strikeout guys on the staff either, so it's even more important to field a solid defense behind them. I'm coming around on this move a bit. The key will be to make sure Mack is not ever in CF in the 8th or 9th with a lead, and to make sure that Mack is playing during his notorious "hot streaks" and not during his equally notorious slumps.

I like the Tom Glavine comps better. Both Glavine and Buehrle beat their FIP numbers year after year by somehow "pitching to weak contact". That's my two cents.

This team is playing great ball right now. The A's are a solid club, and the Sox won two close games and one game easily: great job Sox. I like this team more everyday. Def they give off a dif vibe than 2005. This group is more volatile, and I'm not sure if that's good or bad yet on my heart.

Hurray, 2nd best record in baseball.

NM, BA is in center and Mack in LF--good.

Or did BA come into center anf Mack is now in LF for Pods? God I hate no TV/Radio.

WTF, is BA suddenly so bad he can't play CF better than Pods? This is mind boggling. It also gives me false hope of being a MLB manager.

That's bush league. Whoever threw beer on Kotsay should be escorted out RIGHT NOW.

You know, this bullpen is a lot easier on the digestive tract without Boone Logn.

anyone know the WPA for 1 run lead in the 9th?

How did Bobby save Ozzie? Sure, I like using Jenks in the 8th, I wish Oz would do it more often.

I LOLED at that, which I don't do that often. Nice. Alright, it's Aflec supplemental insurance time.

I actually like using Bobby here. It's one thing to have him clean up the mess after a walk with nobody out in the 9th, another thing to ask him to get the last out in the 8th with the lead.

SO, can we get an explantion for the internet followers tonight? Dye or Macks's fault?

Time for Jenks.
