Beat me to it. 2 homers so far and doing this from the leadoff spot.

Give our experience with Naquin it might take 2 months before he totals 7 more RBIs.

Eh, the last couple years here, he really improved his swing. When he came up, there was a giant hole where he couldn't hit any fastballs up in the zone. He worked hard to improve on that.

Kid just couldn't stay healthy. I wish him the best in Cincinnati.

Naquin has 12 RBI on the season and we have 13 runs as a team.

Dude needed to retire a long freaking time ago.

It's time to remove him.

The White Sox blew yet another lead today, turning a 4-1 lead into a 4-8 deficit in a single inning.

Two more errors and another reliever having a total meltdown follows a pattern.

They are averaging one error per game.

They also do not have a quality start yet.

Giolito is a stud and they have some real power bullpen arms that should settle into effective roles. They do have a starting pitching weakness and are relying on the offense to counter that. That is the element that seems to make them a bit vulnerable.

That, and the fact that their defense is horrendous.

They also have very little depth.

and now they've lost Tim Anderson for an indeterminant amount of time.. two big pieces of their offense now on the sidelines...

Another guy worth the price of admission.

Tribe should miss him, at least for most of the series, but he'll be back fairly soon. They are being careful with him.

Yeah, Matt Foster had a bad game today, but I doubt that happens very often. Dude has great stuff, Mariners were just singling him to death. An old-fashioned seven-run rally with dinks and doinks rather than homers. Fun to watch!
