Maybe I'm missing something, but I thought this line would be about -150. Outside of a groved pitch to Torii Hunter, Buerhle has been unhittable this year and the Sox have had success against Bonderman. Everyone is hitting for the Sox right now and Hunter and Stewart's comments about the Sox quick start in Minnesota papers yesterday morning keep the teams focus.

BBC- I don't plan on playing this game, but I think part of the reason the line is low is that Bonderman has only had one bad inning this year. If you throw out that first inning against Cleveland, he's given up only three runs in 20 IP. Granted, he's faced the Royals twice, but that's my guess on why the line is where it is.

Thanks for the info on Bonderman

Another reason may be that Buehrle is only 1-3 with a 4.25 ERA at Comerica in the last 3 years. All of his success against the Tigers has been at home. I still like the Sox today.

If you need a nice clean neighborhood bar to stop before or after a game I went to one after Tuesdays awesome game.

I think it's called Jack's. I'm not positive. It's on the East side of Halsted about one half block South of 35th. No hanging beer sign or bar name outside. You could easily drive by it and take no notice. It's red brick with a small window with a lit up beer sign.

There were only three guys and the owners son bartending when we stopped in. These guys may have wondered who I was with my jersey on, a few beers in me, and a Spanish girlfriend in tow. I dropped a couple names and we all started talking about all sorts of stuff. Puffers is a very popular bar the other side of 35th but it WAY too busy for my likes. The kid bartending said they don't do too much business on game day normally. It's just a place for those in the know. I think it's because it's not North of the park. People are leary of heading anywhere South of 35th, even if it's less than a block.
