Yeah, I think everybody knew that was coming
Yeah, it's naturally going to get harder for him since people have been seeing a lot of his pitching on video, etc. I believe that's the first time he's given up over 2 runs in a start this year
And at least we kept Cody Ross in check! Personal victory!

He might be on a hot streak. but he is in no way the best HR hitter in the MLB.

ChiSox? They've had a tougher schedule...although, if they keep playing the Indians, Tigers, and TWIPS...well, they just may challenge for the best record in MLB...evar.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if the ChiSox lost a couple just so that Ozzie can go off again...he's priceless.

Even you have to have a slight favorite between the two...

Yumchah, you're a disappointment . Just pick a team and stop having 2x the chance of seeing a win! Let me guess, you lean toward the Northside when the Cubs win, and vice-versa. Has living in Canada gotten to you?

I'm just like that. I can't help cheering for both teams.

We don't have piranhas this year. We traded Bartlett for two duds (Young and Harris), Punto has been on the DL all year, Tyner is gone. We have too many young guys making terrible decisions on the bases and in the field. No power and no patience. The bullpen is this year except for Nathan, but we can't get it to Joe this year. Watching them in person only confirmed all this.
I will admit that the White Sox have magic bats at home.

I couldn't believe they traded for Young...didn't think a team like the Twins would want someone with so many character problems.

I'm sure his bat throwing abilities will improve throughout the season.

And WTF...how is it possible that the ChiSox can spank the Twips up and down US Cell and then go and lost two against the toothless Tigers...?

Ironically Quentin was featured on a high def program on Mojo or HDNet a couple of years ago when he made it in Arizona. He had a great year that one year but then got hurt and then fell off the face of the earth.
