I have started at least one game thread each year since 2001. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn't. But a streak is a streak, so here I am. I'm hoping to start several of these this year. Go Sox.

Hopefully major leaguers play today and winning ensues.

[God's Cop]

So is WordUpThome waxing poetic in some Rockies forum now?

[redsox11507]

Victor is catching, Lowell is at third and Bowden got activated as a bit of extra depth if Timmy doesn't have it today.

Well, they had an off day yesterday.

He's busy getting the tribe back together with Manny in The Dugout.

Edit: I'm an idiot who can't figure out how to post a link, but if you haven't seen it yet, google the dugout... good for some laughs.

The bad old left side defense is back out on the field for therapy. Here's hoping for all flyballs, all the time.

[ThatsMyPeskyPole]

A little pitching, a little hitting, a little D and a little luck and hope the other team sucks. God i hate these Saturday afternoon games.

Keep expecting to see Pedey get a day off and it keeps not happening. He's lost 6 points off his avg since Aug 29th, 3 for his last 20.

Even with the day off thursday, I think he'll get one in the Baltimore two game set. Maybe Wednesday to make it two in a row. Right now I'd rather they clear this road trip and the Rangers playing the Orioles before resting a regular right now.

New baby keeping him up at night?

I've got the ChiSox lineup:

S. Podsednik dh
G. Beckham 3b
A.J. Pierzynski c
P. Konerko 1b
M. Kotsay rf
C. Quentin lf
C. Getz 2b
A. Ramirez ss
A. Rios cf

Interesting to see Ozzie put Kotsay in the 5-hole. Interesting idea, Kotsay did well enough yesterday. It's laughable, for as much as the Pale Hose are paying Rios, he has been so terrible they are finally putting him in the 9-hole.

This should be a fun day. No rhyme or reason to it, just got the feeling.

Wow. Major leaguers?

[mikeford]

Well we dodged the Joe Buck bullet but got hit firmly in the head with the Tim McCarver volley.

Fuck.

[genivive]

I'm in Texas and they think I want to watch the Rangers Gahhhh. Help with a link please

[Rough Carrigan]

I think Lopes is gonna get another hit off Hunter. Damn. Nice catch by Bill North.

If you have DirecTV, the game is on channel 425 (in Spanish).

[mikeford]

Nick Green is playing? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No I have FIOS

[jtn46]

Nice inning offense. Are we facing the dominant Freddy Garcia again?

[Rough Carrigan]

Nick Green is playing? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

One imagines that Tito is giving Alex a day off with a fly ball pitcher on the mound to minimize the damage of Green's penchant for spazz attacks.

[ThatsMyPeskyPole]

okay- that was easy- sound off makes it less painful

[atlsoxfan]

I would like to thank FOX for showing the riveting San Fran/Milwaukee game in Atlanta, like Braves fans really care!!!!

You have that huge Atlanta rivalry with Milwaukee just like you had a huge rivalry with Boston. The electricity in the air when these cities compete is amazing!

[Rough Carrigan]

Can we just stipulate to the stolen base and save everyone the trouble?

[jtn46]

Byrd/Tazawa were bad yesterday, but gave up a fuckload of shit hits just like that one. BABIP hates us in this series.

[ifmanis5]

That didn't take long.

[Rough Carrigan]

For anyone who has the MLB network, they're showing 3 games from the 1974 world series today. Right now they're showing game 3. Kind of fun to watch for an obsessive.

You are so right. I had to turn off my TV because of it and will now listen on XM.

[ThatsMyPeskyPole]

pinch hitting already - overmanaging Ozzie?

[teddywingman]

I just want to say F.U. Fox.

[Rough Carrigan]

Please, BABIP! We'll sacrifice TRic and his fat gut to you!

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Rangers up 3-0 in the first, so we have our work cut out for us today already.

[jtn46]

Hey, so we're back on the road.

[mikeford]

We have 1 starter.

[PeaceSignMoose]

Two bullshit hits and a walk. This is shaping up to be another abortion.

[Rough Carrigan]

Get yer runs! Runs! Get yer runs here! Runs! Who wants some runs?!

[SemperFidelisSox]

Fuck you Wakefield.

[DieHardSoxFan1]

We have 1 starter.

Lester and Buchholz.

[Greg29fan]

Wake is done.

[Sprowl]

Nice YoukScoop™. Wakefield was pretty quick off the mound, but bent down gingerly.

Spotting the White Sox a multiple-run lead looks like a bad habit.

[JohntheBaptist]

This may have been mentioned, but say Kotsay goes homerless the remainder of the year- wonder how many guys have had one home run for and one against a team in his whole season.

I'd guess not a lot.

[Joe Shlabotnick]

And might I add, fuck you Orioles. You better fucking lay down for us as well.

[ThatsMyPeskyPole]

Another game where we have two starters ready- big game for Bowden today- this is getting beyond stupid.

[Rough Carrigan]

Everybody's locked in, huh? No one knew that that was ball four!
Just plan which Chicago club you'll go to tonight guys. Forget this silly game.

[mikeford]

What the hell was that?

[rfra0525]

Horrible job by Jacoby there.

[mBiferi]

Thanks for showing up boys.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Please retire.
