Indians Confidential

Welcome to the AL Jorge Julio…Thome hits a bomb off of him to start the 9th…7-2

Okay, we’re now at 3+ hours, and Garko gets a cheap RBI single….7-1….let’s get this over with

Bases Loaded K takes care of the Sox in the 8th

Perez in relief, strikes out Homey Thome to the loudest ovation of the night.

Kobayashi didn’t last long, just three batters…welcome to the Majors!

Announced attendance - 17, 645….ah, not quite. More like 10,000

Carmona - 7 innings, 4 hits, one run, 4 walks, 4 K’s…1 WP….108 pitches, 65 strikes

Kobayashi set to make his MLB debut

Carmona out of the 7th, Lewis was warming up, so I think we see him in the 8th

Fausto at 100 pitches….I feel a few more batters and he’s in the showers

Press salsa is really spicy tonight….totally am going to be up late with stomach pains…ugh

Chicago writers all groaned when MacDougal entered…they know he stinks…one said “thanks MacDougal” when the inning ended…

Cabrera with a long single…thrown out at second but another run scores…6-1

Grady the player of the night…another single, now 5-1….Sizemore 3-fo-4 with 3 RBI

Seems like they are now teeing off on MacDougal…Shoppach with a long double to put two on with no outs…about to blow this thing open…infield in for the Sox

Fausto with a quick 6th….I’m wrong, he’s going at least 7 now…Vazquez gone for MacDougal…

Great patience by Franklin to draw a walk…makes it 4-1 and really gives Carmona some breathing room…

Travis with a solid hit…great play in left by Swisher to save a run with a great cut off

Peralta runs out a potential double play…

Got the run back…base hit by Cabrera…!

Another K for Vazquez….that’s 6 on the night…Sizemore with a triple….

Crede’s base hit makes it 2-1….Fausto is going to be lucky to last 6

Wow…the White Sox finally got another hit….top of 5 and still 2-0…

Yes, another Fausto walk….his control is for sure not on tonight…good thing he’s got that double play sinker going.

Another double play….that’s three in four innings for Chicago…sure does kill the comment below…

Another walk by Fausto…that’s 3 in 3 plus innings…

Quick 3rd for both teams…gotta believe that the weather is going to make for some tough hitting tonight….let’s hope the rain holds off tomorrow so they can play the 12:05 start

I don’t want to be a whiner, but MAN it’s cold in this press box….bottom of the 3rd and I’m on my 1st cup of coffee

Big hit by Grady scores two with the bases loaded….walks will always hurt, and for Vazquez, that’s the case here, man that was a meatball to Grady…

6-4-3 twin killing ends the White Sox inning…another good job by Fausto to get out of it…

Jerk Pierynski beats out what would have been a pretty 3-6-1 double play..two on with one out

Konerko works a walk and Dye hits a hard single to start the 2nd….

Travis caught looking to end the frame…pitch froze him….

Cabrera doubles to start a rally….moves to third on a ground out - heads up running….

34 degrees at game time….nice first inning for Fausto getting out of it with the double play…
