What is the deal with our closers and their need for drama. These guys just love to walk people in the ninth inning.

Cleveland offense looks great so far. They have a lot of big bats and will challenge the Yanks for most runs scored this season.

Oh yea, they hate Grady. I read whitesoxinteractive.com boards every once in a while. Some of their fans want Buerhle to drill Sizemore for bieng cocky. Which I find quite funny because that's the same reason they love Pierzynski. If anyone is a cocky jerk, it's AJ Pierzynski. Anyways, Grady is really crushing the ball so far.

Wow, tough luck for Beuhrle and the White Sox. Took a shot off his pitching forearm, just like CC did the last week of spring training. That was a rocket off the bat of Garko. They are pulling Beuhrle and now we're already into the Sox pen again. This is really going to kill them, they play the Twins after this series.

Grady is anything but Cocky.


Wow Buerhle just took a shot off his pitching hand. While you hate to see it happen to anyone, it couldnt have happened to a nicer guy. :o Paybacks a B.

Another day another trip deeeep into the Chicago bullpen.

Geeze did you see that knot that already was swelling up on his arm? God that was sick. That bump formed in like 10 seconds. Good camera work from STO.

Yea, I know that. They think Grady was showboating on that leadoff homer in the opener. Also they didn't like Grady celebrating with Michaels yesterday. They said he acted like we just won the World Series. They're just sore losers is all. It's just fine for Pierzynski to step on a player, but it's not okay for a player to celebrate if the Sox lose.

Jealous. I guess if one of the Sox consistantly tore us up Id try to make things up too. Sorry guys we cant help it that we have the best player in the division and your manager has a man crush on him. lol

Man, Grady is swinging great. Even though that was an out, I thought he got alot more of it than he actually did. Also, first Indians player ever to homer in the first three games of the year.

Best CF in baseball makes another great catch. Hopefully Sowers can keep the ball low, sure looks like the ball is carrying once again today.

Wow Casey with the great catch that would have cost atleast one run if he didnt make it and Sowers gets out of the inning.

Yea we got lucky Uribe took off on contact and didn't even bother trying to return to second base. Hopefully Casey can get his bat going now.

Man Sowers just isn't getting the corner calls. With that he's walking way too many. The White Sox aren't hitting him, they're just getting junk runs. The Tribe should be ahead still.

Yea I switched to WGN while STO was screwing up. I don't know why we get teh Chicago station in Ohio, but it worked for a minute. Their announcers are so damn annoying, worst in the league by far.
