Royals are in town. Given the last few weeks, I don't even know what to expect. I'm gonna say they win 1 of 3, but I'm hoping for at least 2.


Zach Stewart (1-0) vs. Bruce "I own the Sox" Chen (6-5) today at 7:10 p.m.;
Jake Peavy (5-5) vs. Luke Hochevar (8-8) Saturday at 6:10 p.m.;
John Danks (4-9) vs. Jeff Francis (4-12) Sunday at 1:10 p.m.

Sox lose 2 of 3 but pick up a game in the standings.

I'd feel a lot better if they weren't facing 2 soft tossing lefties.

At least if they start a lefty, Dunn has a chance to be benched.

Me too. I can only hope that they have faced Chen enough times this season that the law of averages catches up with him

And men have lost their reason.

That is the plan, at least tonight, Gloopan. Ozzie has already said that "The Strikeout Machine", as I've referred to Adam Dunn, won't start tonight vs. Cy Chen. Tonight's Royals' starter has an ERA of 1.29 in his last 3 starts vs. the White Sox alone. With Paul Konerko still unable to play first base, look for Brent Lillibridge to get another start there in place of Dunn this eve.

As advertised, Brent Lillibridge is in tonight's lineup vs. the Royals' Cy, I mean Bruce Chen. You'll find Lillibridge near the bottom of Ozzie's lineup which goes like this:

1 Juan "Where's the Hate for Me Now?" Pierre LF
10 Alexei "Ozzie...Bat Him Second...For Good!" Ramirez SS
14 Paul "Still DH-ing...Daggummit!" Konerko DH
20 Carlos "Doing What Adam Dunn Doesn't" Quentin RF
12 A.J. "3 More Hits" Pierzynski C
51 Alex "De Aza? Who?" Rios CF
18 Brent "Because Dunn Can't Hit Cy Chen" Lillibridge 1B
15 Gordon "Be More Patient at the Plate" Beckham 2B
22 Brent "2 More Hits, Still Batting 9th" Morel 3B

Zach "Better Not Pitch Like Zach Zaidman" Stewart gets his second and possibly last start starting a nearly 2 week long homestand tonight.

You're just trying to make me angry now.

Really? Is Bruce fucking Chen this good?

I guess he's letting the game speak for itself.

Hawk's in shutdown mode? I'm glad I decided to not watch it.

Is this the inning that Ozzie leaves his starter in one inning too long?

No, he yanks the young kids right away. If Floyd or Peavy were out there, he'd leave him in to give up a double or a 3run bomb.

Ohman pitched out of it.

Now score some goddamn runs.

Why can't the Sox just beat the fuck out of these guys?

RFDC thinks I'm retarded.

This team is insane.

As soon as they get back home its right back to the same shit.

Arrrrgh!!!!!

They can't score again off Cy Chen. They should just throw at someone then clean out their lockers and retire.

Konerko looks like he can barely walk. Its a shame the offense is so bad that he can't go on the DL.

He's just like Omar Daal only Daal threw harder.

Damn it. They can't do that! Throw at someone!

Fuck.
