White Sox come back home for holiday

Left-hander Mark Buehrle will attempt to be the stopper on Monday as the White Sox try to snap a three-game losing streak.

 

The White Sox, opening a six-game homestand against the Angels, could also get a jolt from the return of Frank Thomas. Manager Ozzie Guillen is hopeful that having Thomas in the lineup will take some pressure off other hitters.

 

Buehrle has been solid all year and is especially effective at home. His 1.79 ERA at U.S. Cellular Field represents the third-best home mark in the American League.

 

The fact that Chicago will be playing an afternoon game on Memorial Day suits the White Sox just fine. They are 14-6 in day games, the highest winning percentage in the Major Leagues.

 

Pitching matchup

CWS: LHP Mark Buehrle

• 7-1, 3.05 ERA in 2005

• 0-0, 1.00 ERA vs. LAA in 2005

 

LAA: LHP Jarrod Washburn

Player to watch

Shortstop Juan Uribe broke out of a 4-for-45 slump on Sunday by going 3-for-4 against the Rangers. That performance may allow Uribe to relax at the plate and get on a sustained roll.

 

Quotable

"They had some bloops that went their way. That's baseball." -- Carl Everett, talking about a couple of bloop hits that loomed large in the six-run sixth inning of Texas' 12-4 win over the Sox on Sunday

I'm 2000 miles away from the Cell...and when number 35 strolls up to the plate tomorrow, he'll be getting a standing ovation in my living room.

At least the Sox offense won't be the worst to take the field tomorrow.  The Angels stink too.

Why can't we be the ones who wake up? They're still missing Vlad the Impaler, I believe.

I went to a Wheaton Warrenville football game last fall......they got their asses kicked.

Dude, WTF? Are you going to pick a fight with every poster on here?

 

Why even make the comment, except to start s***?

 

Back off.

The Angels routed KC today. McPherson's bat has blossomed since he hit that HR off Contreras (actually the triple of the previous day.) Let's hope home sweet home is just that.

 

 

Actually, KC came back and got to the Angels bullpen today. Bases loaded, down by 1, & Scot Shields was able to get Ruben Gotay on a sweet curveball to end it.

Tony bashed me ealrier, completely unprovoked. Where were you to defend me then.

I didn't see that, but I have seen you going around and getting in arguments with just about everyone here on your first day of posting.

 

Let's just say that if that keeps up, you're going to be on a pretty short leash.

 

It's cool to disagree and debate, but damn, lay off a little.
