Yup. They'll lose tomorrow and win the other two.

I think we win tonight and lose the next two, though I think if we can survive long enough in game 3, late inning offense might pull a win out for the Sox.

"we"

_________________

So far, you've seen the same starting lineup for the first 3 games of the White Sox season, with Dewayne Wise & Conor Gillaspie coming in for late inning defense in left field and first base respectively. I wouldn't be shocked if Gillaspie makes his very first start as soon as tomorrow vs. the M's Felix Hernandez. The Sun-Times' Daryl Van Schouwen wrote in his Sox notebook this morning that Gillaspie might get the call at third base, Jeff Keppinger at first base & possibly either Paul Konerko or Adam Dunn getting breathers from RV's lineup.

I've also got to think reserve SS/2B Angel Sanchez or backup C Hector Gimenez get a start in one of these 3 games vs. Seattle, too.

Win Friday & Sunday. Lose Saturday

Why is Axelrod in the rotation over Santiago? Didn't BP feature a story this year that discounted the concern of starting lefties back to back?

O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason.

So far, RV's lineup remains the same as the first 3 games. It goes like this:

30 Alejandro De Aza CF (L)
7 Jeff Keppinger 3B (R)
51 Alex Rios RF (R)
32 Adam Dunn DH (L)
14 Paul Konerko 1B (R)
24 Dayan Viciedo LF (R)
10 Alexei Ramirez SS (R)
21 Tyler Flowers C (R)
15 Gordon Beckham 2B (R)
Starting Pitcher: 62 Jose Quintana (LHP)

I also heard Mac & Spiegs mention on the White Sox flagship that Dylan Axelrod got booed at Monday's opener vs. Kansas City.

Every year I forget you are a Sox fan and am disappointed all over again.

Fuckin' Quintana. Always has to have that one horrific inning I guess.

Just tuned in, looks like a wild bullpen game. Rios just clobbered one inside the LF pole. 6-5 Seamen

I am one of those strange guys that likes both teams. I am more of a Cub fan and will cheer for them when they play the Sox, but the rest of the year I am pulling for the Sox too.

Nice to see them actually move runners over and tie it up. Can't get everything by the long ball.

The immortal Conner Gillaspie makes an appearance in the Ventura lineup card.

I wonder if he has a template to write those things, they don't change very much...

Conor Gillaspe is a better #12 than AJ ever was!

Matt Thornton was in midseason form yesterday

Addison Reed has looked damn near unhittable his last 2 outings
