QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 03:39 AM) 22k in attendance About right. Only the diehards. We're a first place team but the whole experience isn't worth the cost in this economy.

We better wake up and win 2 of 3. Bad start to round two of interleague, but hopefully it's a wake up call for the rest of the NL games. We suck tonight.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 03:11 AM) When I see Ohman coming in, I want to grab a bat. We always seem to have a guy like that, though I guess to be fair, most teams do as well.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 03:07 AM) I think he goes through stretches where he really wants to play, and some where he doesn't. I think he's in a stretch where he looks forward to playing right now, hopefully it lasts for a while. The scouting report when he was claimed was he didn't feel like playing all the time. Yeah that makes sense. The mental part of the game. Man we get blown out by Houston. Yuk.

I would like to give our team a thumbs down for tonight but applaud Rios. If he played like this every year, he'd be a rather likeable player. He's hitting to all fields, doing great. My question to you is ... why does he stink some seasons? I mean really suck? You would think a guy with consistent at bats who never gets hurt like Rios would be more consistent. I mean he was a piece of dung last year and now he's fine. WTF?

Not to be a broken record, but where are the home runs of late?? We need a ton of them to win games.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 02:32 AM) Well, that was a terrible at bat by AJ. Lots of players on Sox right now seem to have their heads elsewhere. I kind of agree, but that reliever looked pretty tough on a lefty didnt he?

Damn. Sox need to beat this s***ty NL team. WTF.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 02:19 AM) I am going to hold Robin accountable here. If that play is practiced the amount it should be, it is NEVER messed up in that way. Gotta tie it up here. That's not on Robin. Lexi f***ed up royally. His bad and only his bad.

Serious question: When's the last time we had a walk off victory at home in a 9-inning game? How many have we had this season and last? Looked strange to see it happen and stranger to see the guys jumping around on ESPN on the highlight of Hudson's hit. Sox finally got the walk-off base knock. Amazing.

Nice interview with Hudson. He sounded humbled as he tries to learn how to play third base. Kind of nice he got the game-winning RBI. He's obviously not trying to screw up at the hot corner, just not get his block knocked off as he learns.

Well, Hudson can stay. He wins the Sox a game! Way to go, Orlando.

Tank on third with two out. Nice baserunning. Win it here or lose in extras. GET THE RUN IN! THIS IS IT!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 03:57 AM) He's having all kinds of problems reacting in time to anything hit pretty well. Hudson's gonna get killed playing the hot corner. End that experiment, please. The ball is going to hit him in the face on a screamer. Yes ... man on second.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:25 AM) Wow did this team just come crashing back to earth hard. This series is looking like the old corpseball days. Do the White Sox not advance scout the Jays? How do you wake up a dead baseball team? Home runs. Or play Danks. These home losses are depressing.

Those ugly Blue Jay uniforms have bored our team to sleep. Maybe they shoulda let Danks play tonight just as an entergizer bunny.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:53 AM) Play like crap at home all year and KW has the balls to cry about fanbase. I don't think he was crying. Sounds like reporters asked him a question and he answered it. But he should be humble because the White Sox have flat out sucked at home.

Sox coulda used an early all star break after that long win streak. Team looks dead and Jake has nothing tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 12:47 AM) Peavy's slider is fooling no one. Lots of excuses being made for Hudson, who played that off to the side instead of getting his body in front of it. Yeah I thought he might have played that poorly as well, but wasn't positive.

Could he have charged that ball? Or no way?

Things not looking too positive for the Sox this inning. Loaded nobody out.

That must be frustrating to hit the ball right into the shift. That's a base hit for most every ballplayer in the country.

Sox home record is really lacking at 14-16.

I didn't realize Dunn was down under .220. He must be in bit of a slump. He was .260is for a long time.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 29, 2012 -> 12:09 AM) Look at the prices for this Saturday's game against the world beater Seattle Marinerss. If a family of 4 wants to go to the game, its over $200 to sit in the bleachers. Its $160 to sit in the upper deck. Its ridiculous. Its almost as if they don't want to sell tickets. Its $90+ wilth fees per ticket for a premium lower deck box. Then you add gas, parking, food...............There will be 10,000 empty seats and they wonder why. Amen Dick Allen. The economy sucks still and those prices are outrageous. It's just too much money to go more than a time or two all season. Who wants to sit in the upper deck anyway?
