I'm sure many of us will be doing things outdoors this long weekend and will not post until Tuesday.

The Cup is Up starting Monday. Sox have never relingquished the trophy and won't be expected to until 2015.

I will be going to the game.

Anyone going to the Wrigley game on Thursday?

Here's the White Sox lineup vs. the Cubs' Edwin Jackson:
30 Alejandro De Aza CF (L)
10 Alexei Ramirez SS (R)
51 Alex Rios RF (R)
32 Adam Dunn DH (L)
14 Paul Konerko 1B (R)
24 Dayan Viciedo LF (R)
12 Conor Gillaspie 3B (L)
1 Tyler Greene 2B (R)
21 Tyler Flowers C (R)
Starting Pitcher: 49 Chris Sale (LHP; 5-2, 2.53 ERA)

If the Cubs get 3 hits or score 1 run, Samardzija is better than Sale

RV definitely praised the Cubs' righthander in the postgame last night. Mentioned Samardzija in the same breath with the Mets' Matt Harvey.

Hopefully tonight they don't play like they'd rather be sitting in a dentists chair. Samardzija threw a good game but that was the most frustrating game of the year.

Viciedo swinging at pitches in the left handed batters box, Alexei swinging at pitches in the dirt and he falls asleep on a delayed steal, Flowers can't move his lazy ass to block a pitch and fuckin De Aza can't go back on a flyball even though he's playing on the god damn concourse.

I hope they get their heads out of their asses tonight. This shit is getting old.

De Aza has been a disappointment in the leadoff spot this year. Ramirez's brain cramps are reaching a point where he should sit...at least for 1 game.

Is it wrong to suggest Tyler Greene, tonight's second baseman, play at least once at shortstop before Gordon Beckham is expected to rejoin the ballclub next week in Seattle if he doesn't suffer another setback in his recovery from a hamate bone injury to his wrist?

What?

The ran into a buzzsaw in Smarddzija last night. There have been several other games where the bullpen has come in and blown a lead, or the Sox have given away extra outs and extra runs with bad defense. I'd have to question just how many games you have watched if you consider that the most frustrating game of the year so far. I've seen 3 that have been worse in person.

Cubs already with 2 runs in 3 innings, so that part of the equation is settled.

My only question is does he do this to fuck with people or he is really losing it?

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

A shame the game was postponed.

Now we'll never know how the Cubs could fare against Sale.

Sure we do....3 IP, 2 runs = 6.00 ERA

Nonsense.

The game never happened.

Maybe we'll get to see it when the game is finally made up.

Smart for Sale to not pitch with 100% effort in an exhibition game.

Wellington Castillo doesnt homer off of dominant pitchers

He didn't.

Agreed, jury still out on Sale's dominance

WYC, Steve? Sale is by far the best pitcher in Chicago right now.

_________________

Yeah, the jury isn't out on his dominance, only his durability. Besides, the jury's out on the durability of every young pitcher, that's just the way baseball works.

If I only could have thrown Shreve under the bus with that I would have.

I miss Shreve

And, yes of course Sale has been dominant.

You know who else is dominant this year? Nate Jones. And Edwin Jackson. All stars.

So .... I am to understand that yesterday's game is filed in the "postponed" file - any date assigned yet?

There's been talk about June 24th, which is a common off day, but so far, no date has been announced officially. I've also heard talk about the two teams doing what the Mets & Yankees did in 2003. Those two teams played a day-night DH starting at Yankee Stadium and ending at Shea Stadium. The Yankees swept the two by scores of 7-1 and 9-8 respectively.
