The Sox are hoping for a win tonight, as they take on the Tigers in the 1st of a 3 game set. The Sox send Mark Buehrle to the mound (12-12, 4.76) and the Tigers are going with Kenny Rogers (Left, 15-6, 3.86). The Sox are a great offensive powerhouse, hitting their 200th home run of the season a few days ago. With Jim Thome in their DH slot, and Jermaine Dye in right field, they'll hit alot of home runs. The bullpen has been a problem though, with Neal Cotts not pitching the same as he was last year, and the new additions of David Riske, 
]Mike MacDougal, and Matt Thornton not fully living up to their hype, this
White Sox bullpen is not as strong as it used to be. Bobby Jenks, Dustin Hermanson, and Brandon McCarthy (right) are the only (relief) pitchers who are constantly holding the opposition to 2-3 hits on about 1-2 innings of work. SS Juan Uribe is putting up a gold glove run, as well as Joe Crede, Tadahito Iguchi, and possibly Rob Mackowiak.
Game Information
The pregame show starts at 6:30 on AM 670 The Score with Chris "The Ranger" Rongey (if you're in Illinois, like me). The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 pm CST. And the game will hopefully result in a white sox win. Ed Farmer & Chris Singleton will be broadcasting from U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago.
