No knock on Mauer's nice line drive that had 50/50 chance at being a double regardless...
BUT.... when NICK SWISHER dives and misses by a foot...
It makes me wonder if Ozzie Guillen regrets (or now gets the point that) putting Nick Swisher as the starting CF, when he could barely play 1B isn't the smartest move.
I can name about 26 starting CF in the game today who could have had a better chance of catching that ball than Nick Swisher.
8 and 1/3 innings of no hit ball is still impressive for Gavin Floyd, who continues to impress.

OK, what in the world is going on with this guy? Was he supposed to be good? He was not on my radar that is for sure.
You are too hard on Swisher... obviously he's not a CF, but the Sox have no better alternatives, and Swisher in CF allows Quentin and Dye at the corners.
Also, Swisher played good 1B at Oakland. He's range and ability is quite good.
Swisher is what he is in the OF. The problem is for the time being he's not hitting. Neither of course is Thome, Konerko, or pretty much any White Sock not named Quentin.
