    In Milwaukee for tonight's and Saturday's game. My excitement for this series went away sometime in May. Still, I've seen a lot of Sox hats and jerseys around town, so we should have solid representation. Wish I could say the same for the team. My cheesehead boss wanted me to put a wager on the total runs scored for the series. I just told him that I'll buy him lunch on Monday.

    I was up there Sat/Sun. Ton of Sox fans. At least 50/50 inside Miller Park.

    Let's get another win today!

    Got home from work early today, just unlucky enough to watch the 8th and 9th. Now, from what I saw, there is no doubt the ump fucked us over a little bit (there's no way you can call those two strikes against Konerko and not make the same call against Sorryano or Miles). But with that said, Getz still booted a ground ball that little leaguers make routinely and Linebrink pitched like a little bitch. When he was at 3-1 on Bradley, I was yelling at the TV to take him out. He just didn't have it. The only reason he got 2 outs was b/c the other team was so desperate, they bailing him out. 92 mph fastballs right down the middle just don't cut it, especially against the power hitters of a free-swinging lineup in a jetstream fueled, drunk basket aided stadium. It's just the way this season has been going; there is always one part of the team that's a letdown, whether it's the hitting, the fielding, the starting pitching, or the bullpen. This just isn't a complete team. Blowing a 4 run lead with 4 outs to go is painful no matter who it's against.
    He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share, his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere.

    What a terrible fucking loss. I don't care who it's against, you can't blow a 4 run lead with 4 outs to go. This just stings a little bit worse since it was against the Cubs.

    With Quentin coming back in the second half, I feel good about our chances. I'm just glad we'll be competing for the division....second half of the season is brutal when your team is out of it.

    Agreed. CQ will be a big boost. The offense is proving it can score consistently and come back from deficits. Pitching will decide our fate, and right now I'm a bit nervous about it, but I'm happy to be in it. We'll definitely be in the hunt, but guys like Floyd, Contreras, Dotel, Linebrink, even Poreda, are gonna need big 2nd halfs for us to got to the top.

    Nice win last night....I like that we're showing we can play with the best teams in the AL. I'm getting a little worried about Contreras though. Hew as back to his old ways of pitching at a ridiculously slow pace and no control. He needs to get it together.

    Gordon Beckham is a hell of a player.

    This kid has been unreal. The way he has adjusted to major league pitching has been remarkable. Hard to believe a little over a year ago this guy was playing in the college world series.

    Agreed. And his fielding is solid as well. I just love what he brings to the team in terms of his confidence and swagger. Plus he's got the best walk-up music in the league.

    Yeah, fielding is pretty damn good considering he has played SS his whole life up until a few months ago when they started playing him at 3B. A little rough at first, but he has made a nice adjustment.

    A little win streak would be nice right now.

    That would be real nice. 20 straight games coming up here. The road trip is brutal...this is going to make or break the season. Should be interesting...

    Seriously.. I think they're fighting for last place now. I wonder if they'll make it before the end of the season.
