    I agree with this one Poventino. Both teams are bad vs lefties. I was a little concerned when the line seemed to move to the over at first when it first came out, so I held off. I missed out on a few line points, but in a game like this it's worth it to err on the side of caution in the long run.

    GL to you too.

    Teams seem to always score more in the first few innings and then starters settle down and get the job done. That said, Cubbies are threatening...

    You're doing fine. Both of these lefties are straight up dealing...

    Starters were fine...bullpens suck. Guaranteed Cubs will give up the tying run in the 8th or 9th. Sorry Poventino.

    Hope you're right, Crackerjack. I got the Sox @ +136.

    The Cubs melted down yesterday when I didn't want them to. They damn well better melt down today since I need them to!

    That's the key crackerjack, the Cubs should be held down in their inning.

    Here, we go....whom shall the Cubs bring in? How shall they do? Can they get 2 scoreless innings vs the hapless Sox? I don't feel good about it, but hey, anything's possible, it could happen.

    A perfect Buehrle outing (and CWS win) f*cked up by MacDougal. Only took him a second. Should have played the 1H. Why is MacDougal still in there?!?!

    Well that was close. Here's the key inning, Dye, Konerko, and Iguchi.

    If we can survive this half-inning, it could happen. Who will they bring in? Wuertz might be nice. Cotts would be ok.

    Jeez, well ok. Howry has 2 blown saves in his last 4 appearances, but he got through that one.

    I guess it's gonna be Dempster for the 9th. Uribe, Hall, Terrero. vs Dempster. Seems like an even match. If MacDougal can deal with the bottom of the Cubs' order, we might have a chance.

    If you have a relief pitcher who doesn't have his stuff you have to pull him immediately. Otherwise you just give the game away.

    The whole CWS team is reacting to MacDougal's lack of control. Terrible manager.

    LOL. MacDougal got two outs. Total. Gave up three runs, and leaves with runners on 2 and 3. I'm pissed, but it's funny.,

    That it is. It is weird, it's not like the Sox don't have other guys they could have gone to. It seemed pretty clear MacDougal was having problems. But I guess over the course of the season, the managers just see it all every day, and let guys stay in longer than they would in the post-season. Still, you would think this would be a somewhat more important game for them.

    Wow the Sox really gave that under away. Walks, passed balls, bad pickoff attempts.... you've got first and second, no outs, and Cesar Itzturis up, and you try a pickoff attempt by the catcher?? It's not like he's some power threat. strange...

    Hi everyone.

    I was also on the Under 8 in this game.

    Personally I feel that a good part on the blame should be placed on the manager. MacDougal comes in and clearly is out of control, the manager keeps him in for the remaining of the inning and allows him to continue the following inning. Winning the game to say the least prior to MacDougal entering the game.
