HAH. love that THAT'S the high def shot of the game. perfection.

Tip of the cap to Carl. Pavano's just throwing the ball really well tonight. /Hawk

poor paulie. good wood on it every time, always right at the guy.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:43 PM) I agree. Definitely want to get shut out at this point. Only way the dips***s running this team will wake up. a single run give walker another day on the job.

so... GingerKid said Pavano CG ShO before... i think he's right.

i almost want us to get shut out tonight. the worse we do this next couple games, the more likely walker's gone, ozzie b****es that it wasn't his fault, and suddenly the boat turns around

oh lord johny.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:34 PM) He's probably just overanxious to get his first hit. Time to call up the Birmingham lineup. There ya go, Fathom. can we call up the Birmingham hitting coach?

getz and beckham are twins. i just realized that.

getz turned the DP. congrats!

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:30 PM) I wish we could pinpoint what the variable is that determines who shows up, corpseball or the thunder. first pitch swinging.

Walker needs to be gone. Getz needs to sit. And a rule needs to be put in place - you swing at pitch 1, you sit. I can't remember what manager did that this year... but goddamnit we need some f***ing management of this team.

are you joking me? are you f***ING JOKING ME?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:28 PM) Well at least Beckham's first hit is going to be a homer right here. no, because he's first pitch swinging like EVERY f***ING ONE ELSE.

at least wise is getting back to hitting shape. f*** you ozzie.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:25 PM) It's just a poorly constructed lineup. You have the slow bashers in the middle followed up by singles hitters. That means you're going to need 3 hits to score a run if the middle of the lineup doesn't homer. Vafan had a great post about our lack of power at certain positions this year. very true, so it falls on two people, and two people only, in my eyes. Greg Walker primarily, followed closely by Ozzie and his f***ing terrible lineup management.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:23 PM) Does this mean the BA as underutilized Torii Hunter clone victimized by Ozzie vendetta can officially be put to bed now? LOL. yeah cuz that comparison has been made so much.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:22 PM) What are people expecting? We have a pretty weak lineup to start with, and we're missing our best overall hitter in Dye and a very dangerous hitter in Quentin. As my buddy Dick Allen says on here all the time, KW's failure to get a CF this offseason is coming back to haunt him. here's the kicker - go through ANY lineup in the game, and they've all got a weak spot or two. Not having a CF is NOT what's keeping us from being competitive. What it is, is a complete lack of fundamentals at the plate. THAT'S IT.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:19 PM) Indians broadcasters laughing at BA's weak ass f***ing AB, they sounded just baffled at him swinging at the first pitch there they are also discussing our pathetic XBH power we've exhibited this year, last in the AL in doubles, we're not even hitting for 2 bases, let alone homeruns it's a team-wide epidemic. so what's the problem then? obviously the f***ing hitting coach. I get it ozzie, you like walker, he's great, but SOMETHING'S not working with our hitters.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:17 PM) I hate when people talk about their fantasy teams, but I picked up Pavano in my AL only league because he was facing us. i did that with scott richmond of the Blue Jays, went 7 innings of shutout ball. i was THIS close to picking up Brett Anderson... should have.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:13 PM) What happened to the Chris Getz everyone was in love with the first couple of months? Injury-prone? He was ALWAYS the player you could count on to hustle to first base and push it on the basepaths to take the extra bag. If he's become lackadaisical as a rookie, then this franchise really needs to examine what we're teaching in the minor leagues. Ozzie can "go crazy" and rant/rave all he wants to, but the bottom line is a fundamental lack of talent. Getz, on a really good team like the 2005 White Sox is a utility player and not a starter. what the heck are you talking about?? fundamental lack of talent? i don't think we have that, by ANY stretch of the imagination. Except maybe in RF right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:12 PM) Hell of a job by Danks to keep us in this game. That could be a momentum starter. hah.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:11 PM) He trotted after it once Choo was halfway towards 3rd. Choo doesn't even attempt to go if Getz wasn't walking. To be honest, that was a hell of a hustle play by Choo. regardless, it was a pathetic display by getz and he deserves not to play tomorrow.

way to go johnny... at least you still have some stones

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:09 PM) He didn't trot, he walked. it was a trot. you don't walk with a 4 foot stride.
