Whitewashed in '05

There ya go Contreras. Cruise from here on out please. Heck yes Crede!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 08:07 PM) I will never understand why he was so intent on developing new arm angles while he was injured. Last I had checked, he was pitching great prior to that. As soon as I heard he was adding the third I had no damn clue why and had a feeling he would get in between... We can complain almost about everyone except JD. This guy has been great ALL season.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 08:07 PM) That error was costly, but Jose has been crap anyway so it doesn't matter. He needs to start pitching good cause he's been mediocre since a few starts before his streak ended. Hasn't he had a high ass ERA ever since he's come off the DL?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 07:57 PM) They'll still probably win. No kidding.

What are you doing Pods? Trying to get thrown out? Don't you see we have power at the plate! Cintron!!

Lol did anyone see Crips throw to the cutoff man yesterday around the 6th vs the Angels yesterday? He was in CF, but that was worse than any Pods throw I have ever seen. He wasn't even deep.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 07:43 PM) for some reason, Uribe has had a tough time turning the dp this year. He has such a strong arm he just shoots it as hard as he can and messes up sometimes. Ofcourse on a bang bang play it has to get done fast so theres nothing you can do about it.

One of the most irritating things besides leaving runners stranded is having our pitching give the runs right back after we score.

Damnit... we need him around these days.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 06:00 PM) They phased out the 20 gig Ipods and phased in the Nano's at the same time, IIRC. Im fairly sure my 20 gig Ipod was the last of its generation, and Nano took over. Yep, the 20 gigs are discontinued. Besides the nano pushing it aside their was a HD defect with the 20 gig ones so I wouldn't buy one from ebay or anyone. Take it from me, it sucks losing all your stuff. I also have a question about the ipod videos. I am putting a movie into my ipod and I can select the resolution, but doesn't more resolution suck more battery power? On the website it says 2 hours of video battery life, but doesn't specify any thing else. Anyone know?

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 12:38 AM) Yep, its not like the closer entered the game with the lead or anything. It's all Javy's fault for.. uh.. crap.. LIVING. Yea, thats it. And Ozzie? How dare he use his closer! Jenks blew the game. He might not have been needed if Cotts didn't let the inherited runners score or if Ozzie took Javy out earlier, but one way or the other, the Sox entered the 9th with the lead. Whats so hard to understand about that? This thread is ridiculous.

Things are going like last year 2nd half = not good. The Twins are hot and the sox can't find a rhythm. They either hit and pitch like spiff or pitch ok and not hit... Or do terrible at both, which has been the case many a times. Welcome back, hope your return gets their asses in gear.

QUOTE(bulokis @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 10:17 PM) The sox should stop sugar coating for these guys even for Buerhle. Mark has not pitch the way he is capable and that's the story. We need to stop giving Dusty Baker like excuses. Guillen said he blames his pitchers for not pitching good, not the catchers. I can also bet you if any of our pitchers were to be asked why they suck right now they would blaim it all on themselves. No Baker excuses here.

QUOTE(Dan Pasqua @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 07:11 PM) I think everyone keeps forgetting here that vaz is our 5th starter. He will give us 5 quality innings every time out. After that 5th then we are in trouble. Knowing this, it is up to ozzie to make the pitching change immediatley when vaz gives up a walk or hit in the 6th. I dont think it is that difficult. You have bmac warming up prior to or in the 6th inning waiting for vaz to make a mistake. Like I said, Vaz will gve us 5 good innings every time out. After that, we are in trouble and its ozzies job to learn to adjust. And its really not that hard of an adjustment. I know we all love having Vaz as our whipping boy,but his problem can be fixed if ozzie would take the situation in his own hands. I think people need to start looking at mark buehrle as our main problem here. He cant even give us 3 innings without giving up 7 or 8 runs. If he cant turn it around soon then you have to move someone into the rotation in mark's place becuase I will take vaz 5 good innings of pitching with an arm waiting if he gets in trouble, rather than running mark out there and us being out of the game by the 4th inning Please enough with the fifth starter crap. He's being paid like a top of the rotation pitcher and we gave up top notch prospects for this ass. He really needs to get his ass in gear, stop getting pissy on the mound, and stop hanging pitches. I hate this fifth starter excuse. I don't care if you are a fifth starter, on a team like this one a fifth starter shouldn't have an ERA over 5.

Lets go sox. Play like we all know you can.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 10:08 PM) Subtle swipe at AJ's pitch calling? Guillen said it has nothing to do with AJ, but more of the fact that he wants to give Buehrle some type of change to try to get him out of his funk. He said AJ handled him pretty good last season so no knock on him.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 07:23 PM) HE'S BABY MANNY!! I hate Ron Belliard, I'm ecstatic that he's out of the division because I was sick of looking at him. He's a pretty good hitter with decent pop and a very nice glove. He should flourish in the National League, he also has a crooked cap so ugh he's got that going for him. Wanna be Manny. Acts like he has done the greatest thing in baseball for every play/hit he has.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:03 PM) First of all, he was due to blow one (he's only blown 2 all year now). But more importantly, this was Jenks 3rd straight day out there, with yesterday having to use him when we scored 13 and today putting him in a game where we scored 7, yet only led by 1. If we could have held the O's to, hell 8 runs in yesterday's game, maybe Bobby has better stuff and gets it done today. Or maybe if Javy or our setup men weren't spiff today we still don't need Bobby today. Sure it's great we almost swept this series, but it was still all about offense and our spiffty pitching hasn't changed, the only thing that did was our opponent. DO SOMETHING, make a trade, take somebody out of the rotation, just for the love of God anything because I want a chance to make the playoffs. This loss doesn't fall all on Jenks, but he came into the game with the lead and blew it. Not only let them tie it, but lost the game. Its his job to get 3 outs to win the game and he didn't do it. Theres no reason to defend Jenks for today. Started the inning with the lead and didn't finish it.

They fought hard to come back, Dye did a good job, but Jenks has a problem with the Orioles. Sucks badly, but at least we won the first 2.

sac fly wins it, comon Bobby.

Comon Jenks GET IT DONE!!!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 03:31 PM) If Jenks gets this, I will be impressed as all hell. I expect him to get it done!

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 03:24 PM) Hermanson is not gonna come up! Boone logan is pitching much better and should be up before him! I never said he should be coming up.

Speaking of the bullpen, whats been up with Hermy?

Thornton
