Tonight is the game of the series. With the King on the mound tomorrow, and Noesi on the mound Sunday, I really like our chances. Tonight's the test going up against Sale, but if we can stay as hot as we have been we can beat anyone right now. My prediction for the series: bats go cold tonight and we lose, Felix squeaks one out tomorrow as we start to heat back up, and Noesi gets lit up on Sunday with a solid outing by Walker. We're taking this series.

On a plane to Seattle right now, and will be at the game Monday for Kuma vs Twinkies. Can't wait, Happy 4th fellas!

I've been dreading this series for a while. It seems like the White Sox have closed the casket on the M's seasons the last few years. This is a big series. It'll huge if they can come away with a series win.

Beating Sale is going to be a tough task!

 

[Logicallylethal]

If we somehow manage to win tonight, we will sweep the series

 

[NWinAZ]

Question is will Viciedo be batting for them or for us in the series? Here is hoping for Sale to have an off day.

 

[Podunkparte]

Win or lose, I'm looking for them to continue to put up good at bats against one of the best pitchers in the game today. I want to see guys adjusting if they're too aggressive or too patient. If we do the little things and still lose, shit happens and we have the next 2 games to get the series.

Smoak activated. Optioned to Tacoma.

Correct call, I am glad the tolerance level for ineffectiveness has been a lot lower this year. I'd keep him down there until September unless Lomo gets hurt

 

[NWinAZ]

Totally agree. Make these guys accountable and don't give them a free ride. It doesn't help them and it takes away their competitiveness. Like Pete Carroll says, "Always compete." Even if that means for your roster spot each and every day.

anybody know how many options smoak has left?

None with me.

Amen! now do the same with Ackley.

Who happens to be 6 for his last 8. At least with Smoak Lomo has stepped up and taken 1B from him. Who exactly do you suggest we put in LF?

If 8 AB's is what it takes you to defend Ackley, then I have an old car I can get to start once before I sell it to you....but no warranties after that. It's a great deal.

Weak argument. Again, give me a name on the roster that is an upgrade over Ackley right now

 

[Podunkparte]

Good job by Elias there. I feel like our best shot tonight is to keep it close til Sale gets pulled. He's just unfair. This must be what it's like to face Felix
