When I said I wanted a boring pennant race, I didn't mean the offense should go into hibernation.

was it colin who suggested that we were in for a "offensepalooza"?

because i’m starting to question what exactly an “offensepalooza” is.

Two fucking hits?

I also like how Dice-K’s two best starts this season (and maybe his career) are both against the White Sox.

No excuses tomorrow. I don’t care if it’s Michael Bowden over David Pauley. It will be the guy’s first major league start. They need to rock his ass after this embarrasing loss.

Only good news of the day...
Scott Linebrink (shoulder) will throw a simulated game Monday and expects to rejoin the White Sox by the middle of next week.
Linebrink said he won’t be rushed back into the setup role. “Even when I’m activated and they want me in a game, they’re going to be careful,” he said. “But if they see I have good enough stuff in these simulated games and get out there in a non-pressure situation and able to get through it all right, we can start working my way back into that role I was in.”

Meh.

This was a game they were always very likely to lose — the fact that it was 8-0 rather than 4-2 is irksome, but no more than that. The next 2 were the obvious winnable ones, so get ’em tomorrow.

No one likes to spend time in Boston, but it would have been fun to see the offense not sleep the whole game

It's a local boy...

Michael Bowden, who attended Waubonsie Valley High School in Aurora, Illinois. He’s only 21 years old but he is supposed to throw gas. Here’s a scouting report on him…

http://www.soxprospects.com/players/bowden-michael.htm

While the White Sox were busy drafting Lance Broadway at 15th overall in 2005, the Red Sox drafted this guy 47th overall. Brutal.

I don't think there are any teams that would see value in Broadway...

Every team out there has a pitcher in their farm system that could pitch as well as Broadway. He is destined for a spot as a bullpen’s jizz-mopper.

Matchup: White Sox (76-58) at Red Sox (78-56), 7:05 p.m. ET
Probable Starters: Mark Buehrle (174 2/3 IP, 4.59 RA, 1.32 WHIP, 107 K) vs. Michael Bowden (144 1/3, 2.93, 0.98, 130—minors)
Pythagorean Record: Chicago, 77-57 (687 RS, 587 RA); Boston, 79-55 (698 RS, 568 RA)
Hit List Rankings: Chicago, #4; Boston, #2
Prospectus: With Josh Beckett now on the DL due to elbow inflammation, the Sox have called up 21-year-old right-hander Michael Bowden from Triple-A Pawtucket to make his major league debut tonight. Taken in the supplemental first round of the 2005 draft with the 47th overall selection, a pick that the Red Sox received as compensation for the loss of Derek Lowe to free agency, Bowden was rated by Kevin Goldstein last offseason as the sixth-best Red Sox prospect, and third-best pitching prospect behind Clay Buchholz and Justin Masterson. After putting up mediocre numbers in his first crack at Double-A last season, Bowden dominated the circuit in his return engagement this year, with 2.67 RA/9, a 0.92 WHIP, and a 101/24 K/BB ratio in 19 starts. He then moved up to Pawtucket in late July, and in seven outings for the PawSox posted a 29/5 K/BB ratio. Mainly a fastball/curveball pitcher with low-90s heat, Bowden has “funky mechanics,” according to Goldstein, as his delivery “almost has a hitch in it and comes in a lot of parts, so it’s easy for him to get out of synch.” So far this season nothing has put Bowden out of synch, and his promotion means that all five of Boston’s first-round picks in 2005 have reached the majors. Thanks to the departures of Lowe, Pedro Martinez, and Orlando Cabrera to free agency following Boston’s title, the Red Sox chose five times between picks number 23 and 47, landing Jacoby Ellsbury, Craig Hansen, Clay Buchholz, Jed Lowrie, and Bowden.

Dustin Pedroia collected another four-hit game in last night’s 8-0 win over the White Sox, his major league-leading sixth of the season. He also leads the majors in three-hit games with 19, and in hits overall, with 178. The 5’9" dynamo has not cooled down for two and a half months; in 63 games from June 14 onward he is hitting .384 and slugging .605. That puts him on a pace to collect 215 hits for the season, which would be the third-most ever by a Red Sox player, behind the 240 of Wade Boggs in 1985 and the 222 of Tris Speaker in 1912. While Pedroia has been drawing fewer walks than last year, he has hit for substantially more power, with a .485 slugging percentage that rates well above his 75th-percentile PECOTA projection.

Beginning Wednesday, street light banners commemorating a series of special events in Chicago are going on the auction block for charity. Some of the banners were shown off Tuesday, including those featuring Pres. Barack Obama both before and after his election. A White Sox World Series Championship banner, signed by pitcher Mark Buehrle, is also being sold, as is a Blackhawks playoff banner signed by Denis Savard and Stan Mikita. The bidding starts at 12 p.m. Wednesday at Daley Center. Money raised goes to help the Chicago Anti-hunger Federation and the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
