Beast action as the Sox host the Jaybirds. Felix Doubront looks for his third straight win, hopefully a bit less messily, while Henderson Alvarez faces Boston. Comment away.

Top 1, 0 outs, already 3-0 Toronto.
Felix getting lit up.
Obie says Felix doesn’t look focused.
On the 19th pitch, Felix gets an out.
IBM, he doesn’t look focused. Wonder if they had a late night seeing Youk off your way.
4-0, bottom 1.
Last out was a pick-off.
If they don’t hit I’m guessing it will be a post Youk trade hangover they’ve got going on.
Dustin with the three bagger, wonder if they will give him double with an error.
I’m hoping Pedy gets going “hotter than a firecracker” like Bobby said the other day. He’s been looking better at the plate lately.
PAPI!!! Quickly cuts the lead in half.
Ortiz hits No. 397 and its 4-2.
But Felix up to more of the same in top 2.
Of course the worst possible scenario for Middlebrooks, two plays at 3rd and both of them problems. Batistia hot shot takes a bad bounce then Lawerie beats out a play to third. Can here Sox “fans” not, Youk would have made that play.
Pitcher’s best friend, 6-4-3 double play to end the inning.
IBM, assuming you are going to tune in to the White Sox game to watch Youk’s 1st AB?
Bah.
