Speaking of this what are the odds that he hits a batter in today's game?

Zero he is not gonna hit anyone, not worth it..

Not according to Peavy who spent great lengths talk about how miffed he was about the talk about intent and the way the game is supposed to be played.

umm pretty good. he will wait for a bit though. unless robin and coop told him to cool off.

 

[Rice Cube]

I don't think it's worth it if he wants his team to win. At this point the game is probably more critical for the Sox than the Cubs and if he tries to hit a batter intentionally, there's a good chance the ump tosses him and that can't help his team much at all.

 

[DewsSox79]

lineups?

lineups?

They're in the Gameday link I posted earlier. Plus Hawk is probably going to run over them on WGN in a few minutes.

It's over and done with move on, don't need him to get suspended . Got bigger fish to fry.

I agree with the thinking, but this is Jake Peavy we are talking about it.

 

[DewsSox79]

yeah i hope peavy just pitches.

is hudson at the game?

Umps never have the balls to do that on the first HBP. If Peavy does it first, both benches will get warned and that will be the end of it.

10:39am: Hudson has agreed to terms with the White Sox but has not signed officially, a source close to the situation told Scott Merkin of MLB.com. The veteran is expected to play some third base and back up Gordon Beckham at second base. Hudson turned down an opportunity to play regularly elsewhere in order to join the White Sox in this role

guess not

This morning's update on MLBTR suggests he's agreed to terms but hasn't officially signed. I don't know if anyone on the Twitters said he was in uniform one way or the other.

 

[DewsSox79]

ughh this is going to be a football score type game with the wind

 

[DewsSox79]

no aj. awesome. but put dome in vs a lefty...real smart.

 

[Tazer4mvp]

Getting back to 500 would be sweet today...looks like Iam missing the game taking the lil gilr to church then the park...Go Sox

 

[Rice Cube]

Why did I think the Sox were already at .500?

 

[dabynsky]

Bold prediction based on absolutely nothing-Sori has a multi-homer game today.

 

[Rice Cube]

Grounders to Castro. So far, no bad throws.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

Let's all be honest. Both of these teams are pathetic. White Sox don't have a player with over .290 average in the lineup today and somehow they have the chance to sweep today.

Chicago baseball is unfortunately sad.
