    They had 5 errors and still won. I love it. Sweaty Freddy changed speeds masterfully and they're in second place. Things are looking up despite the loss of Peavy.

    I'm not sure if I'm just in denial about it, but I'm not completely gutted over losing him. I'm pissed that we traded some great young pitchers for him in the first place, and he hasn't been able to stay healthy. But his performance has really been sub-par as well. Up until June, I think he was 4-4 with a 6+ ERA. Now, he has lowered the ERA since, and picked up some W's, but that was all against the cubs, nats, royals and indians (and he got L's against the last two). I'm thinking we'll be ok for a little while, but this will come back and bite us down the stretch in Sept., when Freddy will be running outta gas and Hudson will be going every 5th day.

    At least it happened now, and not in late August. Maybe Kenny can come up with something before the trade deadline.

    Just announced that Konerko will replace Morneau on the All-Star team. Yeeeesssss!

    Congrats to Paulie. Much deserved!

    Oh golly, we're hot today! I'm lovin this right now. Win tomorrow, and at worst we're .5 game out, or possibly have the division lead. At the break. In the words of Hawk, YYYYEEEESSSS!

    The crowd gave a roaring, warm ovation when Gene Honda announced the news that Paulie was in. Great atmosphere. Sox are rolling. I hope the All Star break doesn't impede their progress.

    Before the season, I feel like we all expected them to compete for the division. Just never expected them to take the road they have. Hopefully the break doesn't cool them off...

    I would like to personally apologize to The White Sox, and the fans. Every game I have attended this year have resulted in a White Sox loss. There is no way our team being this hot lost to the f*ing Cubs yesterday. I believe the problem is me.

    I will be attending again on the 10th. Sorry in advance.

    Woohoo! I'm not a jinx! Great game.

    what a crazy first half. just 6 weeks ago, it was all doom and gloom, lets trade the entire team and today they are in first place. will all star break hurt momentum?

    It's funny how quickly things can change.

    I hope the all star break doesnt hurt the momentum, but it certainly wont help it. Talk about some bad timing.
