I was with you yesterday on the Cubbbbbies....and on the Sox yesterday.

Thought about doing the same today, just don't wanna pay -200 for the Cubs.

So I might just take the Sox.

Those Cubbies did some work yesterday. That was fun to observe, I laid off though.

From Yahoo:

"Jackson (2-0, 0.96 ERA) may provide Ramirez the perfect blueprint for success. The right-hander - a major disappointment during his first season in Arizona, where he went 6-10 with a 5.16 ERA before being dealt to Chicago on July 30 - has been phenomenal since joining the White Sox, striking out 34 in 28 innings and not allowing more than one earned run in any of his four starts.
“It’s hard when you come from a different team and get put in a pennant race,” Guillen said after Jackson struck out 10 and allowed three hits over eight innings of Thursday’s 8-0 victory over Baltimore. “A lot of people, the expectation is very high. And sometimes you don’t know how to handle it. I think he has handled it well. He came to a city that is desperate to win and in that situation we brought him here and he has handled it very positive and very good.”
Jackson will seek to continue his dominance of the Indians. He’s 5-1 with a 2.56 ERA in 10 appearances - nine starts - versus Cleveland, and 2-0 with a 1.01 ERA at Progressive Field."

The White Sox bullpen is what worries me...unless Jackson goes the distance the pen can very easily make this too close for comfort.

Possibly Manny today. He turns into an unproductive asshole about a year into the process.

When it's prove yourself time though, he always seems to.

Flip a coin on if he's playing today from what I hear.

love wsox today.

Bluedragon · 08-31-10, 12:47 PM

Sox

mandude · 08-31-10, 01:28 PM

This play seems very "square" but I like it. A couple things that I like are Masterson hasnt had two solid outings in a row this year. He seems to get bombed after a good showing. Last time out he pitched very well in their win over the A's so we'll see what he puts out tonight. Another thing under umpire Mike DiMuro this season home underdogs are 0-8. These things don't mean this game is a lock but they help me feel better about the Sux tonight. Hopefully Jackson can go at least 7 or 8 tonight cause thier pen blows. Let's hope the Sux don't blow this one. GL.

sweethook · 08-31-10, 01:37 PM

Significant imo.

I predict 2-4 a possible dinger and at least 1 RBI.

Sawyer · 08-31-10, 05:01 PM

Really liked White Sox in this spot, GL!

Power Play · 08-31-10, 05:03 PM

Line's fishy but Jackson can be lights out. Sox are hot offensively while the Tribes are less than dependable home and away. Bobby Jenks (may not be available today) and their silly bullpen could once again be an issue. I like Sox.

Pauulzcappin · 08-31-10, 05:03 PM

No Manny today

Jenks not being available is a good thing lol....he had a blown save last night

Clearly making a push. Pitching matchup goes our way.

Short of the 1st Manny/Ozzie blowup we are in the clear here.

Enjoy.

Lock it up

stevek173 · 08-31-10, 07:21 PM

Gooseggs still.

Ruh roh.

jagaf22 · 08-31-10, 08:33 PM

Thank you Pierzynski

About time the White Sox score some runs for Jackson. He has been SOLID since coming over from Arizona.

Yea....fantastic.

Whew as I was writing this, I was gonna say If Jenks F's this up 2 nights in a row, I'm gonna do some serious damage to my g/f's asshole.

stevek173 · 08-31-10, 08:51 PM

Drinks on me. Enjoy.
