His lineups and his substitutions were awful. too many substitutions too early in the game leaves no one to bat for you AAA batters in the ninth. Bring back Bevington.

Bevington popularized the Hickey 'stache...and Swieca popularized the rusty trombone

This was your White Sox lineup yesterday vs. the Royals' Jeremy Guthrie after it was revealed that Alexei Ramirez was punished for being late to the team's Sunday workout:

30 Alejandro De Aza CF (L)
66 Ray Olmedo SS (S)
28 Dewayne Wise LF (L)
14 Paul Konerko 1B (R)
51 Alex Rios RF (R)
12 A.J. Pierzynski C (L)
24 Dayan Viciedo DH (R)
18 Jose Lopez 3B (R)
15 Gordon Beckham 2B (R)
Starting Pitcher: 53 Hector Santiago

Look...I get it if Kevin Youkilis is away from the team due to his wife giving birth and Adam Dunn is out with an oblique injury, but C'MON MAN! RV should've adjusted his starting lineup when it was revealed Ramirez was tardy to the ballpark. He should've had Beckham in the #2 spot behind De Aza & Dayan Viciedo in the #3 spot instead of keeping Olmedo at #2 & Dewayne Wise at #3. Olmedo should've been where Beckham was at #9 in the above lineup & Wise should've been #8.

While Youkilis is expected back tonight vs. the Tigers' Rick Porcello, I NEVER want to see Olmedo in the #2 spot again.

What hole would you like Olmedo in SHARK?

Did you read my post, RFDC? Olmedo should've been 9th and Beckham should've been 2nd.

If Ray Olmedo plays one more minute of this 2012 White Sox season, it'll be too soon. I'd rather see Orlando Hudson at shortstop or third base again instead of seeing Olmedo!

Why don't you make like a tree, and get the fuck outta here.

Not directed at you SHARK.

Tonight's lineup is in. Why is RV's newest buddy Dewayne Wise batting 3rd instead of Paul Konerko or Dayan Viciedo?

Robin is falling into that same problem that Ozzie did where L-R dictates the batting order decision rather than it being complimentary factor.

I am very confused. Why isnt AJ batting 3rd if its a lefty thing?
