Game 127 Preview
12:05 Start! (with a rain delay)
It's the perfect thing to wake up for.
Jon Garland 14-4, 4.73 for the Good Guys
vs.
Nate Robertson 11-9, 3.71 for the Bad Guys
The Sox go for the split today, and I'm glad to see the ace of our staff on the mound. Yes, this is an important game for us.
The good news is that Garland is 6-0 in afternoon starts.Nate R. is 3-3 with a 4.29 ERA in afternoon games. And he's 0-2 vs the Sox.
Roberston pitched well in August, although his 1-3 for the month wouldn't indicate it. He had a 2.96 ERA for the month. I'd like to see us budge that over 3.00.
Onto the picks...
I've got Joe Crede.
James took Uribe.
DickdaStick took Gooch.
Jonathon Kelley is abstaining from a pick today.
D.T. Kelly has around an hour to make a fresh pick, cuz DickdaStick already took GOoch.

he'll have to wait awhile to do it...
rain, rain, go away
come again, some other day
Jermaine Dye! and he's no one's PtC? wow...I just wish someone was on in front of him.
Jeeves...I just noticed you took out the word verification. I gonna assume that's to allow for a more free-flowing commentary during the game?
Indeed James. Good catch!
I'm just praying I don't get junk posts again.
JD looks comfy in that 3-spot.
Smooth inning by Garland
It's early, and I hope I don't put the jinx on him, but it's nice to watch good pitching, ONCE IN A WHILE!
Jon is jamming the lefties nicely.
WOooo! BA with a beautiful diving play.
What d'ya reckon, a double or a triple if that was Mack?
Gload has been freed!
Well, I didn't think BA had a chance on that. I was hoping he would just cut if off and hold him to a double...but it was Casey so It would been a double.
Oops, I sort of ignored who the batter was in my zeal to rip Mack.
BA was really motoring around those bases.
Early returns on PotG...BA
Another RBI for Roblo Mackozuna. Yes, I'm going to start combining their stats to prove my point about who should be in LF.
Roblo is a helluva player!
I'd just like to say...that my PtC just clicked a little.
The Sox are flashing some leather
yah, I suppose he did
Count..you woulda missed more if it weren't for the 1 hour rain delay.
"I'm so happy."
Oh baby, oh baby!
Nice to see we're hitting a starter hard for the second straight day.
MIDDLE returns on PotG...JD
JD's the man. He's been the most productive RF in baseball this year. Vlad is a distant 2nd and Ichiro is an even more distant 3rd.
Pablo's pixie dust is back
I'm still waiting to hear JD mentioned in the MVP talks, nationally that is. People seem stuck on Big Papi and Jeter and Manny. John Kruk (who is an idiot) so I don't put much stock in this, but still thought I'd mention it, beleives he's a viable candidate but doesn't think he'll finish in the top 5 for voting.
I'm "watching" the game on mlb.com's gameday from work. Can someone clear up what this means:
Sean Casey grounds out, third baseman Joe Crede to left fielder Pablo Ozuna to first baseman Ross Gload.
God must have decided that this Detroit thing has gone on long enough. Any city that has a Devil's Night shouldn't be so lucky.
And I wish I was a fly on the wall in the Tiggers clubhouse to hear all the shit Casey's gonna take after that.
haha...yah that must be ridiculous looking to you.
Casey lined one to Crede. Crede leapt up for it, but couldn't quite make the catch. Casey thought he was out so he stopped running. Pablo meanwhile sprints to get the ball. Casey then sees that the ball wasn't out so starts motoring it down the first base line. Pablo throws a bullet to Gload and gets Casey by a hair. Casey was then booed off the field.
I don't think the "mayor" will get re-elected any time soon
Casey hit a hard line drive that just tipped joe's glove and carried into LF
Casey thought Joe caught it, and basically stopped running and Pablo hustled in and threw out a finally running Casey by a hair at first
Thank you. My office mates and I were busy trying to figure out the 5-7-3 groundout.
I do love when someone as mediocre as Casey, who is inexplicably universally admired, is exposed.
I wish you guys could have seen it. It made me laugh
A slam would make me ridiculously happy
Colby Lewis has a .600 batting average against in the month of August. Awesome.
A slam would make everyone ridiculously happy.
Wow. Save some for the weekend.
Wow. Save some for the weekend.
oops. oops. sorry sorry about about that that
It's now over .700.
haha, it's all good. If we get another hit here, we'll just say you were predicting the future
Let's see a slam Juanito!
taking down that verification tool made us a bunch of chatty kathys today
I like it. It's funny cuz we set the record for posts yesterday and now we've blown it out of the water.
If you wanna get technical its....
Robrianlo
That's the problem though. Get the Brian Anderson out of Robrianlo Mackozunason. I just don't want to see Podsednik out there.
HE GONE!
98 pitches now for Garland. Looks like he's going the distance.
(he's going for speed, she's all alone, all alone, in a time of need)
I don't think there are many at the moment that want to see Pods in the outfield.
I think this is funny...Someone was looking on google for roger bossard, and came to our page, because of when he was listed as PotG
okay, jeeves, I know the song (The Distance) but the band name is escaping me...is it Cake?
Should be a fun recap for you to write after this one, Jeeves.
Lewis just got his BA against under .500 for the season.
It is indeed cake, and it will definitely be a fun recap, it'll be the first winning recap I've written in a while. I gotta look up when the last one was.
This is my first winning recap since Aug 11, Game 114
Way to get off the shnide a la Mr. Buehrle and Mr. Garcia! And in such grand fashion.
It was so bad for me they put me on the DL and sent me to a specialist in England for a week.
Gonna be a tough call on the PotG. Do you go with...
a shutout against your main rival
A two homer day
a sparkling defensive catch and a triple
a heads up defensive play and good day at the plate
Which will it be?
So much pressure. Too many good performances
Got to be Garland. Plenty of O to go around, only one shutout being thrown.
uh, my bad.
And that's a White Sox winner!
phew. i thought i was going to be in trouble. fortunately, neifi still sucks.
haha, that's always a constant, Neifi sucking.
Alex Cintron is what Neifi only wishes he could be.
D'oh! I had a major brain fart this morning. Honest, didn't mean to pick a duplicate.
Is it too late to take Garland? ;)
Honest mistake. It's happens
And yes you can have Garland, but only because pitchers don't count at picks to click. ;)
