Peavy's Game- A Thing of Beauty!



CG Shutout 1-0 White Sox victory.
3H, 8K, ZERO BB, 111 pitches, 78 strikes. Only 1 runner reached as far as second base.
When Peavy is on (i.e., last year's CG shutout in Washington), it really is great to watch. Similar to Buerhle at his best but with more of a mean-streak (it would be great if they mic-ed Peavy while he was on the mound).
Some outstanding defense, but the hitting at home is still way lacking. With the weather a little warmer, that should help. I would keep Dunn in the line-up today. But if he again fails to produce, time to bench him for a day or two. Give Lillibridge and McPherson a chance. At least they hustle.

UPDATE: Just read that Peavy has not walked anyone in his first two starts.

The Sox game was over in like 2hours and 5 minutes. Hopefully we will see a little more offense from the White Sox tonight.

Actually, PG and I listened to the Sox game on the radio and then caught the end of the Bulls game.

So true. You can see him cursing every time he throws a strike that he doesn't like (you read that right) or gets someone out but not quite in the way he wanted, he's a perfectionist.

I'm really curious about Dallas McPherson. It's funny, it seems to me that a lot of the young guys on the team (Morel, Lillibridge, McPherson) could end up being the heart of the team by the end of the season.
