LMAO I didn't realize that the Friday afternoon makeup game was the Jose Abreu blanket giveaway from April. It was 100 degrees inside the stadium.

Danny Duffy absolutely cannot suck today. No excuses, 7 innings.

This game could get ugly today.

For both teams lol.

Really don't understand why they don't activate Medlen.

8 innings would be preferable with a three run lead going into the ninth.

Duffy is supposed to be one of our future aces. This would be the time to prove he has it in him to take on that role, especially against a struggling offensive team like the White Sox*.
















*NO JINX

Say maybe 25% chance to win this one today.

I'm not sure if Danny has ever made it 8 innings into a game before. But yes that would be preferable.

SNR starts a thread and the server seems like hot garbage this morning. Coincidence?

Duffy is a head case. He will worry too much about needing to go deep into the game and ultimately get shelled for it.

That's what I'm worried about. He knows if he goes 3 innings today he's going to put the entire team in a bind. Be a good test to see how he reacts.

You're the one who said I should start a game thread one of these days.

I figured I'd spend my bad mojo on a game we're supposed to lose rather than tank one we should win.

His last two starts have been encouraging. Going to be a nice test today for him for sure.

Taking one for the team. That's solid.

I'll never stop loving you.

GET A ****ING ROOM, YOU TWO

I just want to point out that last Sunday I started the thread for the craziest win of the season. No pressure.

Good start SNR!!!

Moose!

Oh yes. Get to him early!

Time for LoCain to do some damage.

Everything goes KCs way lol. Hope it happens for the Chiefs.

Wow. Cain always comes through there.

Yeah, Hoz!

Those were some "questionable" calls there for Sale.

DFA him?

YES

LMAO

Got em out

That's what defense do.

Good start so far

How can he always makes plays like that so easy. Insane.

If Esky doesn't win a gold glove this year...

Good quick inning by Duffy. Like to see that more consistently.

Nice Omar.

Oh my.....

Good start to the inning, Omar.

Sale is no match for Infante.

Nice

Bring him home!

****

Sigh

That may come back to bite us. ****

Orlando's pop fly was close to being enough to send Infante. It needed more juice if it was going to go into right field.

I would have sent Infante on the second one.

That was dumb

Lol

Double play plz

Woot!

Ugliest man in baseball. A ginger with a beard.

Chi Sox are and idiots

Thank you Melky Way for setting that up for us

Does anybody else using mlb.tv get a weird timeout on the commercial breaks? It goes to the commercial break screen and doesn't come back on for like 3 minutes. When I refresh the browser, it's in the middle of the inning.

Nice

Sometimes the feed lags behind. I tend to hit the live refresh button once it goes to that commercial break every half inning.

Balls

That Cain DP sucked dick

we should be up 3-0 easy right now

What about melky getting thrown out at 3rd? You can't give us imaginary runs without awarding imaginary runs to the opposition as well

3-1..better, sweetie?

Hidden runs?

Infante with the old man pirouette throw to first for the out

great snag by hos

duffy impressive so far, can't let the walk get into his head or now the error either

Daffy with the duck throw

that was really dumb, 2 outs in a 1-0 game and a cannon behind the plate..no need to try that shit

Nice pitching from Duffy so far..

all that being said, 37 pitches through 3 for duffy is awesome...he's usually around 60

I hae Adam Eaton. Try hard, gritty, mother fkr

omar has been hitting the ball better as of late

Shit. Gotta get Sale to continue to rack up pitches. Get him out of the game sooner rather than later.

8-pitch innings ain't gonna get that done

so is "Southpaw" supposed to be some kind of Rocky redux?

What an abortion of an inning.

Toss his ass, ump.

moose having a tough day

what happened?

esky redefining sickness every inning

Damn. That was sweet.
