The Sox are 29-38 after that big win over the mighty Astros. The Twins are 30-36 after whoever the fuck they just played.

I predict a series full of base badball, and something to do with umpires. I also predict Elmhurst Steve drinks his own sperm, then calls 3 radio shows to brag about it. Sox lose tonite, win tomorrow, and who knows what in the everloving fuck will happen on Thursday.

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

Look at that line up....

Holy shit.

The bridge didn't go over I-35 -- it went over the river. The bridge was part of the I-35.

Its a lineup that has put up better numbers than the Sox.

Konerko is the 4th highest batting average on this team at .236.
Overall AL ranks; second to last in avg, last in doubles, 3rd to last in HRs, last in OPS, 2nd to last in slugging, DEAD last in walks, and last in OP%, and not surprisingly, second to last in wins.

Friggin miserably bad.

The Sox start the game by going down in order for the 1,000th time this season then make an error and give up a bomb. Down 2-0. Brutal.

Looking forward to both teams continued suckage so that StubHub is my best fried come August when I'm there for that Sox / Twins series.

Anybody been to Target Field yet?

I guess that's the problem Frank had w/ it.

De Aza may be the worst base runner in the history of major league baseball.

Any day now Robin can flip flop Alexei and Beckham in the batting order.

A freakin wild pitch that bounces right back to the catcher. Dag Gummit!

I'm all for it. By the way, when is RV going to rest Alexei? He's played EVERY INNING of White Sox baseball this season. Ramirez isn't Cal Ripken, Jr.!

The butt nugget twins can't come thru again. Worst 1-2 hitters in baseball.

When this White Sox/Twins' series concludes, fans will probably be asking "Who is Clete Thomas?" In reality, he's the latest OF the Twins called up last weekend from their Triple "A" affiliate in Rochester.

Don't they both have the same number of hits tonight?

Yep. 2 hits apiece for Ramirez & Beckham tonight in Minnesota. Beckham has 1 of the 4 White Sox runs.

They're putting Troncoso in this situation?? I don't like this at all. Not. At. All.

Whew. He hit it at someone. Now Score Some Fucking Runs!

good god. Cubs, Astros, and Twins.

Their own version of the June Swoon.

Same fucking lineup. I just don't understand.

Stone said that was the 5th hit to a left handed hitter Sale has given up all season. I had to look it up and son of a bithch he's right. Coming into tonights game lefties were 4-53 (.075 BA) against Sale this season. There was another left handed pitcher who dominated left handed hitters like that. Now what was his name.......

I'm getting sick and fucking tired of watching these assholes take a first pitch fastball right down the middle then spend the rest of the at bat swinging at sliders in the middle of the other batters box and changeups in the dirt. Stop letting hittable pitches go. Fuck!

Keyser - when discussing players on big club you are like Dr. Jekyll, with minor league guys you are Mr Hyde.

EDIT: errr, I meant vice versa.

Look on bright side perhaps that dominate pitcher can also go to another team later in his career to actually win something....

There's a flight out of Minneapolis airport to Charlotte, NC departing at 12:35am. I hope Mr Heath doesn't run into traffic on his way to the airport.

Just blow the whole damn thing up.
