Since when did they start batting Frank Thomas 2nd...
the lineup tonite...

Chi White Sox
T. Graffanino 2B 2-2
F. Thomas DH 1-2
M. Ordonez RF 1-2
P. Konerko 1B 0-2
J. Crede 3B 1-2
C. Lee LF 1-2
M. Olivo C 1-1
J. Valentin SS 0-2
W. Harris CF 0-1

hit him 2nd so he would get better pitches to hit cause mags is protecting him, I don't get it. even though I don't like frank, I don't see how you bat him second if anything you move crede up to 2nd and push everyone down one.

This almost as crazy as the reds batting either dunn or kearns leadoff, which was what they were going to do this year.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Thomas' power and hitting prowess are a thing of the past.

A manager's got to do what he can to get the teams to score runs.

Cubbies aren't doing too badly. Cardinals just having a whale of a winning streak.

Well the Yankees do have Soriano hitting leadoff when he's their best home run hitter.

Anyway back to Thomas and the White Sox.

What has happened to them? I thought they would be such a good team this year but they have struggled. Maybe they'll pick it up in the second half though.
