Royals are in town. Given the last few weeks, I don't even know what to expect. I'm gonna say they win 1 of 3, but I'm hoping for at least 2.


Zach Stewart (1-0) vs. Bruce "I own the Sox" Chen (6-5) today at 7:10 p.m.;
Jake Peavy (5-5) vs. Luke Hochevar (8-8) Saturday at 6:10 p.m.;
John Danks (4-9) vs. Jeff Francis (4-12) Sunday at 1:10 p.m.

Sox lose 2 of 3 but pick up a game in the standings.

I'd feel a lot better if they weren't facing 2 soft tossing lefties.

At least if they start a lefty, Dunn has a chance to be benched.

Me too. I can only hope that they have faced Chen enough times this season that the law of averages catches up with him

That is the plan, at least tonight, Gloopan. Ozzie has already said that "The Strikeout Machine", as I've referred to Adam Dunn, won't start tonight vs. Cy Chen. Tonight's Royals' starter has an ERA of 1.29 in his last 3 starts vs. the White Sox alone. With Paul Konerko still unable to play first base, look for Brent Lillibridge to get another start there in place of Dunn this eve.

As advertised, Brent Lillibridge is in tonight's lineup vs. the Royals' Cy, I mean Bruce Chen. You'll find Lillibridge near the bottom of Ozzie's lineup which goes like this:

1 Juan "Where's the Hate for Me Now?" Pierre LF
10 Alexei "Ozzie...Bat Him Second...For Good!" Ramirez SS
14 Paul "Still DH-ing...Daggummit!" Konerko DH
20 Carlos "Doing What Adam Dunn Doesn't" Quentin RF
12 A.J. "3 More Hits" Pierzynski C
51 Alex "De Aza? Who?" Rios CF
18 Brent "Because Dunn Can't Hit Cy Chen" Lillibridge 1B
15 Gordon "Be More Patient at the Plate" Beckham 2B
22 Brent "2 More Hits, Still Batting 9th" Morel 3B


Zach "Better Not Pitch Like Zach Zaidman" Stewart gets his second and possibly last start starting a nearly 2 week long homestand tonight.

Against the rest of MLB? No

Against the Sox? He's the second coming of Whitey Ford.

Quote from the bottom of the sixth... Flowers at the plate. This was the entire commentary for the four pitch at bat mind you.

That one missed. Evens the count at 1. And got him. Third Strikeout for Chen.


I guess he's letting the game speak for itself.

Hawk's in shutdown mode? I'm glad I decided to not watch it.

Is this the inning that Ozzie leaves his starter in one inning too long?

No, he yanks the young kids right away. If Floyd or Peavy were out there, he'd leave him in to give up a double or a 3run bomb.

This team is insane.

As soon as they get back home its right back to the same shit.

Arrrrgh!!!!!

They can't score again off Cy Chen. They should just throw at someone then clean out their lockers and retire.

Konerko looks like he can barely walk. Its a shame the offense is so bad that he can't go on the DL.

Switch clubhouses.

Change dugouts.

Stay in a hotel.

Pretend you're on the road.

The Sox bring the Godfather 3 to mind...Just when Sox fans think they're out, they get dragged back in...only to be subjected to more frustration. At least the Cubs ended their fandoms suffering more quickly.
