Not a much of a thank you to Omar. A few fans stood up and many clapped, but I would have thought it would have been much louder after all he did in Cleveland.

Watching the game. It's painful to listen to the Whitesox broadcast. THough they do talk up the Indians players.

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

Peralta with a hit. Floyd has to be done after giving up a hit to Peralta especially when he had an 0-2 count.

I was gonna mention the same thing. He's been back several times and has always recieved standing ovations. He will go down as one of the all time favorite Indian players.

I apologize for starting a thread on the game, as I couldn't find this one. I forgot to hit "Refresh". I will see if I can delete it.

In the mean time, everybody hop on the Choo Choo Train!

It is pretty official that the White Sox are the worst team in baseball.

They couldnt beat a Triple A team right now.

Pretty good stuff when your starter throws almost 60 pitches in 1 inning.

They're essentially playing one, so there's the proof of concept!

Choo is the only one hitting over .250, the pitching is their saving grace.

Mind you, the highest average in the Sox lineup is .250 (Beckham, Teahen), so they are sucking just as hard

I know people are pissed at Dolan for not spending money, but honestly, this team has some good players...

Sizemore, Choo, Cabrera, Peralta, LaPorta... even Valbuena is coming around and plays good D. They are weak in LF and at C for sure.

The starting pitching is not bad either, the bullpen is the major question mark of the team.

Cabrera is hitting .280

And pitching wins.

They would struggle with the best Triple A team right now.

I am pretty sure that Baltimore would handle them with they way things are going right now.

Nobody is hitting the ball.

When they do get the occasional good start, the bullpen comes in and blows the lead.

You know things are going good when the highest average on your team is .260

This is pretty sad to watch right now.

I was looking at stats that still had Cabrera listed right at .250, oops! (Maybe he was coming into today?)

Carmona's struggling to get out of the 5th.

3 run in and still 2 on.
