My boy Martin Maldonado out of the lineup today, so we have to pick another White Sox scrub to do nothing at the plate. Sosa is hitting .190 with two extra-base hits.

This weekend series has been no contest thus far, a complete mismatch dominated by the Reds, who have outscored the Chisox a whopping 16-1 while romping to wins the past two days at the Rate. Graham Ashcraft tasked with getting the sweep for the Reds, and he ought to look forward to facing the sluggish, 2-12 Pale Hose after being thrown into the deep end against the Phils and Brewers in his first two starts. Meanwhile, note ex-Brave Michael Soroka is struggling with a 6.14 ERA in the Chisox rotation. Play Reds on Ruin Line
