I'll have more on Wednesday's game tomorrow -- unless today's game is equally deep -- but here's the question I'm pondering.
Two guys started for the White Sox:
First-inning Jake Peavy: 1 IP, 4 H, 5 ER, 3 BB, 1 K
Rest-of-the-game Peavy: 5 1/3, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
Do you think his turnaround was real?
