Kansas City Royals at Chicago White Sox, Sep 20, 2009 2:05 PM EDT
How could anyone be interested in the NFL with this game on?
Robinson Tejeda looks to continue his stretch of awesomeness, while Freddy Garcia has his own goal: picking up a few more paychecks and reminding us all he's still alive.

I thought it couldn't get any worse than Zack's Thursday lineup, but I was wrong
- Callaspo at 3rd so that puts Hernandez and Yuneifi at the middle infield slots
- And there’s that magical Anderson-Maier-Spork outfield, with Spork batting leadoff
- No Brayan yet again. Is he hurt? He played that one game as a defensive sub last week and that was it

Yeah, two major leauge hitters in the entire lineup.

Sporqie Bloomers, Leadoff
In perpetuity, RF when Hoagy DH’s. The die is cast. BPJ obviously needs more time on the bench before he’s ready to start. At least we have 2 legitimate MLB hitters in the lineup. Small victories.

Jumped at the fence, clearly caught the ball above the top of the fence — but whether the ball would have been over the wall or would have hit the top of the fence wasn’t clear to me. Chisox announcer said it would have been over.
