    Looks like Rangers also play tomorrow but Astros still need to take care of their own business. They still control their own destiny.

    why does Diaz never catch anymore..? you got to give him reps there at least once a week so he doesn't get rusty..

    White Sox win. Tonight will be a good test for us to see if the Astros have taken away something from the team meeting and don't get complacent. We need to come out firing.

    It’s Maldy who needs to catch once a week

    White Sox were able to do something Astros couldn't....win a game against Mariners.

    Diaz has no protection in this lineup

    I've been watching the LLWS. Texas finally got a run.

    Glad to see CWS pull it out!

    Sox don't have a gambling manager though

    Have no fear.

    Abreu's "injury" has healed.

    Surge incoming

    Dusty will give him the C+ lineup per usual.

    Why is Maldy catching again? Basically instead of playing Dubon Dusty chose Maldy yet again. Tired of seeing his ass in every lineup.

    Alverez out of lineup again. He's gotten a hit every time he faced Sale.

    Good to see the Mariners lose on an error. That mojo was getting too strong!

    I cannot believe the White Sox were able to pull that out after blowing the 3-1 lead in the ninth.

    HUZZAH!

    Dusty baffles me. Maldy hid multiple major injuries at the end of the last season and supposedly Dusty was aware but decided to play all but once a week when Vasquez was available. Abreu who has struggled mightily played almost every game he could despite being one of the oldest position players on the team. Supposedly his back has flared up on and off but Dusty still continued to play him everyday and in the clean-up spot. Abreu goes on the IL and then Dusty says the rest was the best thing for him and he hasn't looked this good in batting practice all season. Dusty..maybe he would performed better and he wouldn't have re-occuring back pain if you didn't stubbornly put him in the line up every single day. Why oh why are the oldest position players on the team getting the most starts?

    Ridiculous. You can't play him more than once a week? Some of us aren't even asking for everyday. Just let him catch more than 1 out of every 5 or 6 pitchers. Him and Maldy are so ******* greedy. Dusty obviously has no interest in developing him at catcher.
