The 10-game road trip continues tonight through Thursday for the White Sox as they head to historic Fenway Park to face the Red Sox in Boston. It should be an emotional one for 3B Kevin Youkilis as he makes his return for the first time since the trade. As for the pitching matchups...

Tonight: 6:10P, Comcast SportsNet & 670 The SCORE/White Sox Radio Network
CHW: Dylan Axelrod (1-2, 6.16 ERA) vs. BOS: Aaron Cook (2-2, 4.37 ERA)

Tuesday: 6:10P, WCIU 26 The U & 670 The SCORE/White Sox Radio Network
CHW: Philip Humber (3-4, 6.01 ERA) vs. BOS: Jon Lester (5-6, 4.49 ERA)

Wednesday: 6:10P, CSN, 670 The SCORE/White Sox Radio Network
CHW: U.N. Decided vs. BOS: Felix Doubront (9-4, 4.41 ERA)

Thursday: 6:10P, 670 The SCORE/White Sox Radio Network
CHW: U.N. Decided vs. BOS: Franklin Morales (2-2, 3.16 ERA)

The White Sox are hopeful that Gavin Floyd and his sore arm will be good to go Wednesday, while there's talk that Jose Quintana might be the other U.N. Decided Thursday night. Our Sox will avoid Boston's Josh Beckett in this series, while 2B Dustin Pedroia is on the DL with a thumb injury.

Remember the name Pedro Ciriaco. Although he wears a football-like number in #77, he's been getting it done for Boston since Pedroia went on the DL. A .417 BA with 6 RBI's for Ciriaco since his call-up from Pawtucket.

Why is the UN picking the Sox pitchers?

It's a play on words...They have TBA listed for the White Sox in the paper for the Wednesday & Thursday games in this series. U.N. Decided is also Undecided... :wink:

Oh ok, good because I really think, and you correct me if I am wrong SHARK, that the UN has more important things to worry about than the Sox pitching staff.

I will definitely be watching the ball game tonight. Hopefully, they will have some great close ups of all the little Boston babies crying in their beers and sodas when Kevin Youkilis takes the field. These itsy bitsy bouncing babies miss "Youk" so much that they will all cry to their mommies. There is nothing better than a little baby Red Sox fan crying, because it definitely means something good has happened somewhere in the world.

Get used to it, you little teeny babies, your team is again irrelevant.

Although LF Carl Crawford (elbow/groin) is expected to be activated from the DL tonight & 2B Dustin Pedroia (thumb) Thursday, these Red Sox have been inconsistent and manager Bobby Valentine has been kinda smug when he's opened his mouth at times in his first season. Just like last year in Terry Francona's last season in Boston, the Red Sox team has had quite a few injuries. As a result, you'll see guys like 2B Pedro Ciriaco & OF Daniel Nava in this series, in addition to guys like 1B Adrian Gonzalez, who has a really down 2nd year offensively.

I think the Sox would have a much better chance if they started young fireballer T.B. Determined.

This just in...Brent Lillibridge, we hardly knew ye in Boston. The SCORE's Connor McKnight says that Lillibridge has been designated for assignment by the Red Sox before tonight's game to make room for LF Carl Crawford, who has been activated from the DL.

Maybe he shouldn't have thrown strikes.

Is there anyone outside of Coop and Ventura who didnt know that was going to happen. A guy cant throw strikes eventually hes just going to point the ball. FUCK!!!

If the guy can't throw strikes, send him down.

I would rather the Sox got blasted in the first or second inning than to waste an outing like that from Axelrod. Oh and by the way, Vincente Padilla can go fuck himself. I've hated that prick since his days on the Rangers.

Post subject:  Re: 7/16-19: The Battle of Sox in Boston

That is about as good as Axelrod is ever going to be and you couldn't get a win.

Author:  Terry's Peeps [ Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:35 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: 7/16-19: The Battle of Sox in Boston

And there'll be games where he pitches worse and gets a win.

So what.

So what? Don't you type with that tone with me, mister.

Axelrod blows, and you had a chance to get a win tonight and yet they couldn't do it. And on top of that Detroit won and Cleveland is winning.

He'll start the game tonight vs. Jon Lester. Gotta think one of the kiddie relievers on this White Sox roster gets sent down to make room. Also, Ranger was hinting on his postgame show last night that Gavin Floyd and his sore arm could be DL-bound.

A couple of injury updates. Gavin Floyd and his sore arm are headed to the DL, says the Trib's Mark Gonzales. As for the Red Sox, David "Big Papi" Ortiz' Achilles which he appeared to injure during Adrian Gonzalez's 3-run homer last night isn't ruptured or torn, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe. Here's the BoSox lineup for tonight, complete with 2 notable changes in BOLD.

2 Jacoby Ellsbury CF (L) .250
13 Carl Crawford LF (L) .333
66 Daniel Nava DH (S) .265
28 Adrian Gonzalez 1B (L) .288
64 Will Middlebrooks 3B (R) .294
39 Jarrod Saltamacchia C (S) .231
12 Ryan Sweeney RF (L) .279
3 Mike Aviles SS (R) .266
77 Pedro Ciriaco 2B (R) .464


Jon Lester does the chucking for the Red Sox...

If it looks like a familiar White Sox lineup, that's because it is. Here's how the White Sox will deal with the Red Sox' Jon Lester:

30 Alejandro De Aza (L) CF .276
20 Kevin Youkilis (R) 3B .261
32 Adam Dunn (L) DH .212
14 Paul Konerko (R) 1B .318

15 Gordon Beckham (R) 2B .239


Philip Humber starts for the White Sox tonight at Fenway.
