In Minnesota, where Ozzie can't manage, but that's ok because I'm sure Alex Rios will be in the lineup, and what could go wrong there? Hopefully we can get some more epic fail going on. Oney's been pretty quiet this week...I wonder what he thinks.


Pitching matchups:

Mark Buehrle (8-5) vs. Nick Blackburn (7-8) today at 7:10 p.m.; Jake Peavy (4-5) vs. Carl Pavano (6-8) Saturday at 6:10 p.m.; John Danks (4-9) vs. Brian Duensing (8-9) Sunday at 1:10 p.m.

Thome is sitting on 598 career HRs, hopefully he gets #600 this weekend.

Other than that...uh, I say Sox win one, Twins win one, and something else happens the other game.

_________________

Ozzie leaves a pitcher in too long. Pierre get's caught stealing at least 3 times. Rois dogs a ball in center field for a runner to score from first. Brian Bruney pitches.

I'm hoping the players go on strike and they cancel the World Series.

Thats good thinking, Rick. At least we got the BP cup in before the strike!

Those wins over the Cubs saved the season. Otherwise, Dunn and Rios would be really tough to deal with.

Hello 4th place.

Hope the Twins perform the coup de grace on this team. Only thing really worth looking forward to is improving draft position at this point.

fock this club. I should manayer.

So the Sox will probably sweep the series and be 3 games back, thereby committing me to another 3 weeks of caring about this shithole of a team.

Could Ken Harrelson be forced to call tonight and maybe tomorrow night's games in Minnesota solo? I think it's safe to say for Steve Stone, watching this White Sox team is enough to make him sick to his stomach...Seriously.

Doubtful...it will probably come with the Mike Huff experience.

_________________

Mike Huff...I think he's with the Bulls/Sox Academy in Lisle these days. I think half of these current Sox need to spend some time at that place, no?

The Sox get smoked, shelled and pooped on. Ozzie makes mistakes and this is the White Sox swan song for the year.

Afterwards Ozzie is caught beating off to pictures of Gardenhire.

What really pisses me off is that if I wanted to throw a ballgame on tonight, my choices are this shit or Yankees/Red Sawx

_________________

MLB Network, SJ, has that Yankees/Red Sox game tonight, while FOX has it tomorrow at 3:10p and ESPN/ESPN Radio wraps it up Sunday night. Luckily for me, there are other games I could sit through with the "MLB Extra Innings" package.

The lineup is in for the first of 3 between the White Sox & Twins, as if it matters at this point. This is how the Sox will deal with Twins' righty Nick Blackburn at Target Field in Minneapolis:

1 Juan Pierre LF
10 Alexei Ramirez SS
14 Paul Konerko DH
32 Adam Dunn 1B
20 Carlos Quentin RF
12 Anthony John Pierzynski C
15 Gordon Beckham 2B
30 Alejandro De Aza CF
22 Brent Morel 3B

Mark Buehrle's job, should he choose to accept it, is to try and stop the White Sox bleeding at 6 in a place the Sox haven't won at all this season.

Nice to see the HR from Dunn last night prompted Ozzie to bat him 4th.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say

This guy looks like Samardzija. That can't be a good thing.

Stewart doesn't look half bad.

Right now, it's a nice pitchers duel going so far. Stewart looks pretty good.
