Sahx Sweep Sawx, Streak to Six

in White Sox Game Recaps

The streaking White Sox completed the sweep in Boston this afternoon, with a lineup that featured No Manny until he finally pinch-hit in the 8th for starting first-baseman Mark Kotsay, and wound up drawing a hit-by-pitch after a long and dramatic at-bat against Papelbon. Even Stoney made a comment about Manny not having a great sample of PH-ing stats because, well, when he plays he's usually a starter. Something to that effect.
But it wasn't until the 9th that Papelbon really blew it for the Sawx. That's when he, among other things, began the March of the Pale Hose. Boston pitchers gave up 5 walks on the inning; sparking a rally that allowed the 2-run-trailing White Sox to come back mostly after 2 outs - and it all started with a walked Rios going home on a Q! single-turned-double. Q's heads-up baserunning allowed him to get into 2nd base on a short single to center. He was replaced with pinch-runner Lillibridge, who then scored to tie the game at 5 on a Castro single to right.
From there, disaster struck the Boston bullpen. Four consecutive walks to Alexei (of all people), Teahen, Beckham, and Pierre. Two more runs crossed the plate on walks to give the Sox the lead by that many, and the stage was set for the long-awaited return of our beloved Thornton to close the game. Which he did oh so easily with two strikeouts and a Scutaro fly-out to end the game.
Superb! That's a bingo!
Enjoy the day off tomorrow, if you got it.

I think he's coming across as a great team leader.
You don’t have to stick up for a teammate when he doesn’t want to be on your team. That being said, KW should be on the phone right now trying to trade Quentin for Rasmus.

Q for Rasmus would be interesting, but doubt that will ever happen.

larussa has a bit of a history of not getting along with his players in st. louis
and i don’t blame rasmus for asking for a trade. he is better than anyone that they’re throwing out there in center, and isn’t getting playing time because his manager doesn’t like him.

ridiculous hypothetical
but suppose it gets to the point where the cardinals have to get rid of colby, would an offseason trade buerhle + ??? for colby rasmus be reasonable?

maybe i am missing something. i know rasmus is a great young player and has a lot of upside
but why would we want him? we have rios for cf right now. we also have jared mitchell for the future in 2-3 yrs. in order to get colby we would have to give up a lot.

if it takes much to get him, pass
but if you can get him on the cheap (which some team is going to do), you grab him. for us, we could put him in right and move q to dh. our outfield would be great defensively. it’s never a bad idea to have young, talented outfielders.

eh, I'd give them a bucket of balls.
The guy is clearly a clubhouse cancer, not getting along with Pujols and all. I guess we could give them Marquez, or another hot sinker-balling prospect, but Rasmus today just isn’t the Rasmus of a few years ago. The shine is off.
Of course that’s what I’d try to bait them with. If I worked, I’d hang up the phone, yell “Boo-yah!”, and then triumphantly dance around the room.

i like how a manager who, if reports are correct, is more likely to be gone after this season than not,
decided to throw one of the main building blocks of the organization under the bus on his way out. real classy going to the press with this.
maybe rasmus raised the possibility of a trade in the heat of the moment. maybe it was a considered request.
frankly, we shouldn’t even be privy to as much as we know. there is probably some truth to goldman’s take at BP that larussa, in his twilight years, doesn’t have the patience to deal with the young kids and their inevitable foibles.
larussa always been way overrated to me
anyway.
Ramirez’s actual answer: "That’s a stupid question. I’m here to play baseball and that has nothing to do with playing baseball."
Cora’s translation: "I’m just worried about playing baseball. I’m not worried about hair or nothing."
this
and it’s why i think the best albert could have done was kept his mouth shut to the press as well. i don’t view what he said as good leadership.
When I was a kid, I didn't want to be a doctor or a fireman. I wanted to be Super Mario. It's the most literal pipe dream I've ever had.
probably.
i don’t know how it was characterized to him by the press. if this was the first he heard of it, i’d think a good leader would go to the player first and initially deal with it that way instead of through the press.
i imagine pujols viewed this, in part at least, as a vote of confidence for his manager.
yeah
it just struck me as horribly thought out. and then when everyone on baseball tonight agreed with him, i learned that i am still dumb enough to be shocked by what i see on baseball tonight.

Pujols was sticking up for the one guy that has always had his back, to excess.
He’s loyal, and he’s conservative (witness the Glenn Beck event attendance). I don’t agree with his method of dealing with an internal issue but I entirely understand how he could have responded as he did.

pre-reading comment:
wtf, this post is as short as my… pinky finger. who hijacked hsa’s account? shit betterbe good.
very enjoyable day at the WO household.
I gave up watching the sox to spend some family time at the Little Red Schoolhouse in lovely willow springs (cool time by the way- saw a snake snatch a fish out of a pond and eat it…. i hate fucking snakes… that didn’t help the matter- but it was pretty cool). however, when i got to the restaurant (i wisely chose Primetime on 95th in Hickory Hills… lovely place with TVs galore) they were only in the 4th inning! I ate and got back (in the 8th) and was allowed to see the lovely conclusion in the comforts of my own home. Awesome to beat Papelbon.
When i was out in bahstin last year, the fans complained about him like we do Jenks. Pretty interesting, because being an outsider i always thought he was great. Guess all closers have their struggles.
And I am off tomorrow! Put it on the board.

I have a friend who was out at the Schoolhouse today.
She made a facebook post on seeing a snake snatching a fish out of the pond (Maple lake.) I wonder how often that happens out there. Did you happen to catch the animal control folks snagging a baby alligator?
I’m gonna ask her about seeing a Kenny Powers lookin’ Mofo…
I caught the start of the game after one of those very White person activities of going to the local farmers market on a Sunday morning. Got my lady some flowers, and got me some la-de-da organic farm raised chorizo sausage. I left home after the third to go down to Jazz fest. Checked in around the 7th with gameday on the phone… Good stuff for the top, then they shit the bed again… and I got caught up in the band that was playing. I turned the phone on again and checked in at the top of the 9th with 2 out.
The rest of the day was golden.
I love this city. I love being a Sox fan. Say what you will about this season; No matter how it turns out- If you had asked me in April, there is NO way I would have thought I’d be checking up on the game on a day like today, and I could care less about the folks who looked at me when I yelled out “EEE-YES!” after seeing that final out on my phone screen.
Go Sox!

don't think of it that way
its important because its on the road. Their chances have actually gone up about 4-5% even though both teams are winning. If they stay close after the Detroit series 16 of the final 22 are at home including important final 3 with Twins.

what about home/road splits the twins
either way, their schedule is weaker than ours, except for 3 games series against the sox and 4 games series against the jays to close the season

most numbers I saw being thrown out at the beginning of the season ran
around 88-90 wins. But I agree, the Twins and Sox have been playing good baseball lately so 95 wins +/- 2 shouldn’t be too far off.
The Twins are starting to pile on the injuries. That will eventually have to affect them right? They cant play the way they did this weekend the rest of the way out?

yeah its weaker but not drastically so
any of those teams are capable of winning games from the Twins esp on the road. Sox need to stay close thru this last series. Then depending if they gain any ground or not either win 2 of 3 or sweep the Twins. Not easy but hey stranger things have happened.

When Oney Guillen is managing the Orlando Rays...
they’ll sign a 43 year old Beckham to back up the infield, but an injury will push him into the starting role at 3rd base, where he will be the best option batting 2nd. Wade Bogs will allow his number to be unretired so Beckham can wear it.

let's just hope he can't find the slider....that was his problem at the beginning of the season,
but given his dominance over several starts of late this seems unlikely.
Will be a small miracle if by the end of play Thursday night the Sox are within 4 or better......
this shapes up to be a very difficult series given Scherzer today, Garcia-Verlander tomorrow…..then of course with Twins at home vs KC……If we hold serve or do better when play begins Friday I might start buying into the idea that we can stay in it ’til the end.
ummm so like going 6-0 on the road
doesn’t convince you they might hang around? tough crowd.

It was huge......but my gut feeling is that this Mon-Thu is gonna be rough against the Tigers/standings.
Then again, I wasn’t all that optimistic about the Boston series either.
i wasn't optimistic about the whole trip
but…
