White Sox vs. Royals -- Buehrle vs. Redman

If you discount Saturday's performance because it was KC then today needs to be a cake walk to convince me Mark is still #2. KC has not beaten a left hander this year.

That aside, Vasquez has been showing he has some of the best stuff on the team. When I see him scheduled to pitch I think W.

I see there is no recap.
Here:

Vasquez was dominant. PC = 116 may have been tops this year.
Pods continues to be a good offensive player with no other redeaming qualities.
BA - two hits, one a homer. Ozzie continues to say he is the starter no matter what.
Thome hits another homer. Goes out for a PR late. Still striking out more than I like.
Gooch goes 4 for 5. Was not asked to bunt.
Cotts was the first out of the pen.
BMac comes in to start the 9th. Protects the 7 run lead.

On a side note:
Boon Logan continues to out poll Mark Buehrle for potential Cy young winner.

The Tigers lose in the bottom of the ninth. I went to their blog to see the reaction and was stunned.

GO SOX!

Damn Jahovas (sp?) witnesses...

Same goes for Elarton.  If they could turn those two into three-four decent prospects, it'd bring some sense to those moves made in the offseason.

Crede is clutch. He will not end up hitting .250 this year. I  recommend finding another way to predict his performance.

The Sox don't get a win against a leftie. Neither do the Royals.

Pablo is not the worst outfielder I've ever seen.

Today the pen was good. I think we have a good pen. It performs the way I expect it should.

L.A.A.O.A are next.
