TV: CSN, FSNW

John Garland (2-1, 9.18) vs. Jamie Moyer (0-2, 4.07)

White Sox are clicking on all cylinders but Moyer has been very effective despite being 0-2

I'll be here for this one, sorry I wasn't here at all this weekend. Anyone else?

[DirtyKash]

Garland's not very good at all, but somehow the White Sox still manage to win. What's their winning streak right now, like 8 or 9 games?

White Sox 6, Mariners 2.

W- Cotts
L- Sherrill
HR- Dye, Everett

[Porter]

Garland is also coming of a gem in his last start as well. Considering Nate Robertson 2 HIT the M's

It doesnt look good.

[LSUMarinersFAN88]

[Element]

Yay, the defending champs! Just what we need after a sweep.

[Porter]

You going to be here Ele?

[MarinersFan87]

We're 6 games below .500. Yet we are sitting at just a -7 run differential. WTF?

Oakland is 3 games below with a -20.

[Porter]

I was looking at the offense the other day and this was disturbing.

OAK, ANA and SEA had the 3 lowest team SLGs outsid of KC.

[Porter]

Looking at the games this season

Biggest Win: 6-2 vs Oakland
Biggest Loss: 5-0 vs Oakland

Note: Back to back games.

I have a feeling we take this game tonight. The offense is due for an explosion. Sexson slams two homers tonight.

The good news for M's fans: The White Sox have a 13-26 record in Seattle since 1998. The White Sox are on an 8 game winning streak, which ties their longest from last year (meaning they're due). The White Sox do not fare well against soft tossing LHers in general, and Moyer definitely fits that profile. Jon Garland struggled in two of his first three starts, and faced the Royals in the other one.

The bad news for M's fans: you're stuck with Crazy Carl.

[Dam8610]

I'm calling Sox 3 Mariners 4, because the West Coast hates the White Sox.
