I know that its really late already, but I'm really getting into baseball at the moment. This week's series against the Twins could prove to be crucial, especially after beating the Tigers on the road.

Who else has been rooting for the Sox this year?

White Sox fan checking in. The Twins are on a bit of a streak (granted, against Cleveland) but I think the Sox have the shot.

AL should fear the White Sox. Jenks is back, the bats are hot, and Ozzie...well Ozzie is Ozzie.

Lifelong Sox fan here.

If Danks and Floyd can keep pitching above average, I think they have a good chance of holding on to the division.

How about Carlos Quentin's performance this year? They'd be in 3rd place, if it was not for him. Also, the fact that he looks like Billy Bear from 48 Hours, makes rooting for him fun.

Quentin, JD, and even Thome is absolutely deadly right now. It's to bad that Konerko is the rally killer. I'm not giving up on him quite yet, because he is important, but he just looks bad to me right now. Swisher isn't the answer either.

It seems like OC always knocks in a run lately with runners on as well.

Well at least you Sox fans can get tickets at a less than insane price.

I want to see the Cardinals in August at Wrigley but you practically have to sell a kidney to get decent seats.

Yeah Paulie isn't Paulie right now. I don't know if its an injury or if its a mental thing, but it would be nice if he broke out of it, and started producing.

I do like the lineup with Swisher at 1st base, and Anderson in centerfield. I don't think Anderson has had a real opportunity play full time, since he had a bad year in 2006. I think having a real centerfielder who can go get it, would make a big difference, as opposed to putting Swisher out there, out of necessity.

I'd rather give a kidney willingly for Cubs/Cards tickets than walk around Sox stadium and get murderized.

The Cell is just fine. Just don't come here when the cubs are not even playing us and start chanting "Lets go cubbies".

I'm the complete opposite with that. I hate the Sox, but Ozzie makes me like them more. Strange.

I wont go that far, but when I was at the game that the sox clobbered the rangers 10-2 last week a few fans were chanting "Lets go Cubbies". I yelled back at them "Check the Scoreboard, your cubs are losing". A bunch of kids snickered they shut up quick. Cubs lost that night 9-2.

As far as Ozzie goes, I think he's great.

Tonight's game is supposed to be on CLTV (40) but that channel's not coming in. Is it on any other channel?

yeah, a manager who doesn't spit out manufactured phrases and tells the truth is terrible.
