God my White Sox suck so far this year. Pitching staff needs to get it together (except Beurhle)

And pitching wins.
I was looking at stats that still had Cabrera listed right at .250, oops! (Maybe he was coming into today?)
I knew what you meant and they do have 5 guys in the lineup hitting under .200. So yeah, their hitting sucks balls for the most part. But good pitching wins, and so far they are getting it.

I continue to be amazed at the disintegration of the White Sox. Their line-up still appears to be very potent and their starting pitchers, at least on paper, are pretty good. Maybe they are getting tired of the manager?? I can't figure them out.

And on that note, why not let Fausto start the 7th and see what happens? .....instead of...well....you know what. Hold on to your hats now!

Now I'm going to put in my first anti lefty-righty theory of the season.. Laffey was doing good, so let him pitch! But it worked this time, so the point is "mute"! ;-)

Konerko with a leadoff double (would have been a triple for anyone else) in the 8th

Another good game for the Indians thus far.
It's shocking but awesome to see them getting it done.

Akron behind 4 RBI by Jared Goedert have a 4-0 lead over Bowie with the game moving to the bottom of the 8th.

Akron is 5-5 and looking to break a four game losing streak
Bowie(Baltimore) is 9-1 on a 8 game winning streak

He's been back before and has got his standing O. Every Indians fan appreciates Omar Visquel for what he's done in Cleveland.

Joe Smith should've started the 9th, IMO. Choo comes through, again. Now we see if Chris Perez can finish it off.

Choo is awesome. He should make the All Star team this year.

Chris Perez with 2 saves in a row.

Has Perez finally figured out what he needs to do in order to keep the ball down and get outs. He looked good in these last two games, except for a couple of pitches that he left up and almost paid for them. I think that this is the best Perez has thrown as an Indian.
