So is Ramirez going to be leading off anytime soon? Yahoo is speculating, but I haven't heard anything more.
Do not know if he has the plate discipline in his young career.
Definitely, but for lack of alternative Ozzie might say #### it.
one thing that is holding the missle back is 4 walks in 106 at bats.
2 of them have been yesterday. so maybe that is what they are working on.
his swing is a bit wild also, but if he continues to walk like yesterday, then I think it will happen. but he needs to have a better OBP.

So how is Javier Vasquez doing it? Any homers care to shed some light on how good Javy has actually looked? I haven't seen him pitch an inning but his stats are pretty incredible considering the park he calls home. Just curious.

And those Contreras numbers just got better tonight. He went 7 strong, only giving up 1 ER and getting the W vs. KC.

Contreras/Javy/MB will win more than they lose, it's still up to the young arms...if Danks/Floyd prove to be the real deal over the next 100 games, I see the White Sox running away with this division...

On a podcast (linked in sig) the other day, I said the White Sox could be the most dangerous team in baseball from June until the end of the season. They're doing well so far despite some of their key guys hitting just over the Mendoza line. That starting staff and bullpen is tough to beat when everyone is on their game.

Floyd has one of the nastiest curves in the league...nice to see it has all clicked while he is in the Sox uniform!

Looks like the guys are taking better approaches at the plate and are starting to work themselves into better counts.
Pauly, for example, is not only doing that, but he is also going to the other fields instead of trying to pull everything.
Already 12 runs in today, pitching doing its job as usual, and now the hitting starting to come around.
Good times in Chicago.

after 7 wins in a row a loss does not feel as bad.
lets get a new winning streak going.
and our top of the order all got hits 1-5, and only 2 guys did not get a hit joe and JD, and they have been doing well so no biggie, we will usually get more runs with 14 hits.

Swept? No but I can see them losing 2 of 3 here. They played sloppy ball yesterday but credit the Kitties for playing a solid game. This season in Chicago is starting to look like LIGHTS OUT at home and mediocre on the road. But then again- that seems like most MLB teams. The main importance here is the Twins lost again and are in a dreadful losing streak. Go Tribe Go Sox!
