And the Yanks will see the Sox for four games at the Stadium later this week…

“The Greek God of Walks” is a pretty good bad nickname. I can’t think of another player with a nickname that involves walks. A tough out for sure, I wish him well on the South Side, where Robin Ventura is doing a pretty great job of managing.

[4] Aged.
But who knows, he might regain some real value. He was good last year.

Oh, 8:00 game start, Sunday, right. Damn.

Which is the game thread??

What happened to Youkilis? Seems like he got lousy overnight. The guy used to terrify me. And not because of the ugly facial hair. He could hit.

Okay, now I get it. Via Pete Abe: Boston pays almost all of Youk’s salary, and the White Sox give up an unpromising 25 year old pitcher and a utility player.

Kind of insulting to Youkalis, frankly.

Now I can root for Youk. Ugly as he is, I kind of wanted to.

Of course, he sucks now. For the life of me I can’t see what the ChiSox want him for. Still.

I don’t know if he keeps it up, but that kid Middlebrooks (.326 .365 .583 ) is playing some elite Baseball.
