Wow, a Rich Hill sighting. Whistler must be blowing a load all over himself now.

Holy crap they turned Rich Hill into a side-armer?? He's in the last chance motel with that move.

Literally...sounds like he just fucked his elbow up.

Dethklock will cry now

And Rich Hill's arm fell off.

Well the Last Chance Motel just (literally) hung up the no vacancy sign. That's too bad.

What the hell was Dunn stopping for?

Fucking HUGE! What a series. Great starting pitching, great bullpen and timely hitting. Toughest road trip of the year and they .500. Time to kick some ass at home, Men.

Terry's Peeps · **Posted:** Wed Jun 01, 2011 3:30 pm

It's amazing that a piss poor road trip gets made better with a trip to Boston.

Sweep.

Yeah, the White Sox finish the road trip 5-5 and have won 7 in a row at Fenway Park. Too bad the White Sox don't have another trip to Boston planned...

Real nice series for you guys. Congrats

I try to not fall in love with players and say "no way Player X can be traded", but goddammit is Paulie good.

He needs to retire a White Sox.

Alexei is also someone I don't think the Sox should part ways with unless it is a HUGE deal. The dude is a hitting machine.

If I didn't know better I would think Konerko was a candidate for steroid scrutiny. He has had the best 18 months of his career at the age of 35.

God I hope not GD, but I think it is a fair question. I don't think baseball will ever shake that stigma.

Are you sure this is his best 18 months?

'04- 41/117
'05- 40/100
'06- 35/113

I'm pretty sure he had an 18 month run in there somewhere.

Very selective statistical analysis. BA, OBP, SLG etc. are all higher the past 18 months than in those years which is especially impressive given that he passed the age of 33.

OPS:

'04- .894
'05- .909
'06- .932

'10- .977
'11- .897

I think we're splitting hairs here and we can all agree Pauly is awesome and should win the MVP award.

I think people that are using performance enhancers nowadays are using HGH. Its not tested for in the major leagues. Who knows though, this is just speculation. You've got Bautista going from 59 homers in six seasons to 54 in one. Colon having a career year after having an operation where HGH is usually used, but according to some sketchy doctor in Puerto Rico, he didn't use HGH.

Anyways, that was a big win. Hopefully this give the Sox confidence to put together a really good homestand because they need too. Its funny, I am listening to the MLB network and before the Boston series they were barley mentioned, but after beating Boston they are "surging in the standings".
