QUOTE (greg775 @ May 20, 2010 -> 12:48 AM) Tonight's game is another reason we ain't catching anybody. We'll battle the Royals for the bottom slot in the division. Nix's error ... we play just well enough to lose. That was key. The CQ and Lexi choke at bats in the ninth. We play just well enough to lose. I will give some credit to Pierre. He's resembling an actual big league player the past couple weeks and is much less hate-able. Even Hawk is thoroughly disgusted. He's said a few times recently that the defense has been "at best, bad". If it wasn't for Nix's TWO errors on one play, Konerko's homer ties the game in the ninth. But, like you said, TCQ and Alexei choked as usual.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 19, 2010 -> 12:37 PM) Still waiting for someone to address my question about those other rosters that are winning for such obvious reasons right now... Okay, I'll take a shot at it. You're right that there's no quick answer. There are rosters out there with less talent (on paper) that are playing much better than the Sox right now. We keep saying that the trend of so many hitters playing below their career averages and/or their potential. But with each passing day and each staggeringly ugly loss, we have to start considering the fact that it's just going to be a bad year. I keep hoping that AJ, Quentin, and Alexei will turn it around, and although yesterday's game gave us a glimmer of hope, I'm starting to wonder if they will.

As bad as this team seems (and they are bad at times for sure), I'm surprised they are only 6 games below .500. I say that because it seems like they should be worse. 6 games below .500 is NOT good, but they sometimes play like a team that should be 10 games below or worse. They need to have more games like yesterday and get to .500 and start hacking away at the Twins' lead.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2010 -> 09:40 AM) Wonder if Beckham will be out of the lineup again today. Or if Vizquel will be in again after getting a couple hits yesterday.

Let's go for two in a row! Danks on the mound...I'm feeling good about it. 7:10 first pitch. TV: CSN+ Radio: 670 AM

Player of the game? Garcia? Pierre? Quentin?

Hey, a sweep is a sweep!

Maybe TCQ should get food poisoning more often.

How about that for a confidence builder.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 18, 2010 -> 01:49 PM) Yes they did, and the ruling on the field was overturned by the Replayl. Nice! Is that a first for a Sox game this year?

Did they go to the instant replay for the HR?

Freddy's like that old beater car with over 100,000 miles that shouldn't run but somehow does.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ May 18, 2010 -> 01:19 PM) I like Freddy Garcia and all, but he really does take his time out there. He's the antithesis of Mark Buehrle.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ May 18, 2010 -> 01:16 PM) and then Matt Black Smoke Thorton will come in and kill all the Tigers He'll give them the choice to come with him first...then kill those who don't.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 18, 2010 -> 01:13 PM) Maybe we'll see a polar bear run across the field later with the grounds crew chasing it.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 18, 2010 -> 01:11 PM) WTF is going on here?! Is this a tie in to Lost? Are we watching an alternate reality? It's the sideways world. On the island it's 6-0 Tigers.

Omar!

Juan!

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 18, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) Teahen with a hit! !

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 18, 2010 -> 09:18 AM) Vizquel back in the 2 hole for today's game per Gonzalez. Omar!

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ May 17, 2010 -> 07:21 PM) http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/wh...-051710.article for those happy that coaching might get fired. Eh. I didn't necessarily gather from the article that coaching changes would be made. However, maybe KW is re-thinking his giving Ozzie control over the coaching staff. Regardless of who's at fault, this team has to turn things around now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 18, 2010 -> 08:31 AM) I don't think there's anything to those whispers, the timing doesn't make sense. If you were going to send Beckham down, why start off with the supposed 2 day benching rather than just sending him down? It's too early to make sellers' deals because you don't want to call up anyone (i.e. Flowers) until after June 1 to save the arbitration year. Good info, thanks. I suppose a lot of the whispers we may hear are wishful thinking. At least the whispers of change. It's a very frustrating time to be a White Sox fan right now.

So yesterday in the game thread there were whisperings of changes coming today or tomorrow. Anyone know anything? I have a feeling Beckham might be sent down...I just hope that doesn't mean Vizquel gets more starts. But of course then the option is Nix.

12:05 start. Another day of low production at work and much swearing at the computer.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 17, 2010 -> 11:20 PM) Trust me. i love, A.J, and it'll be a sad day in White Sox land when he's no longer on this team. I love A.J. even more (shockingly) then i love Nix. I don't think Nix needs to have a huge part on this ballclub, i just think he should have Omar Vizquel's part on this ballclub. This might be the best statement I've read in a while. So simple and so, so accurate.
