No doubt people are going to bitch no matter what decision he makes.

But that does not change the fact that when a guy the age and injury history of Peavy gets to that point of the game at that pitch count the smart move is to pull him and put in your closer.

Solid baserunning from Konerko there.

I'm sure trying to score from first seemed like a good idea at the time.

What is wrong with Thornton?

Maybe the league finally figured out all he throws is a straight fastball.

.500. Beautiful. Nice sweep, Men. Now continue to beat the teams your supposed to beat and put that .500 mark in the rearview mirror.

Sweet

They just played the Marlins and have the Cubs coming up. Let them enjoy themselves for a week. BTW..are the Yanks interested in DeJesus while Granderson is down?

They struggle to win games against the lowly Marlins and then celebrate ... Congratulatiions, your team has reached the definition of mediocrity.

Go Cubs!!!!

Mediocrity > consecutive 100 loss seasons.

Anyway, when you look at how many of Detroit's wins have come against Houston, who the Sox have yet to play, it shouldn't be hard to understand the Sox are definitely in contention.

First off, losing 100 games is considerably short of mediocrity. The Cubs would be thrilled to be mediocre. But they are in the midst of rebuilding.

Losing as often as a team wins, is the definition of mediocrity. The team is not terrible, nor good, just mediocre.

No, the Sox are NOT contenders and if you truely believe they are, you are delusional.

I don't think the White Sox are World Series contenders as they sit now, but you, Steve, are delusional if you say a team that currently sits 5 games out of 1st place in their division and just 3.5 games out of a Wild Card is not in contention for postseason play.



You can say that a team is not in contention if they are 13 games out of first, and 10.5 out of the wild card...
