QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) would he have pitched differently with a 2 run lead? absolutely. He had no control. Nice try.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 05:09 PM) FG shouldn't have started the 9th This is true. But politte did not do his job ( which has been very rare this year)... that is the real reason we lost.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 05:09 PM) you guys are the ones who are uneffing real. you really think this would be the same pitched bottom of the ninth with just a two run lead? come on you revisionists Would their closer farnsworth not be in?

Crede f***ing singles to left...

I am still glad we handed them those four runs.

Widger walks. How good is he, damn.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 05:00 PM) On cue, the Sox offense awakens when the game is already out of reach. If only Ozzie would have resisted the urge to give Garcia the opportunity to win, If Politte/Cotts would have pitched like men, these runs might have mattered. Politte left with the bases loaded... all his runners.

Nice to see we handed them four runs last half inning.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:33 PM) We are going to get a good shot of how this will work when we face the Bosox with two cubans. Hawk just said buehrle, garland, contreras, and garcia.

5-3 infante homer.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) AJ is a perfect example 2004 BA .272 OBP .313 2003 BA .312 OBP .360 2002 BA .300 OBP.334 He averaged 11 homers This year he is Batting .247 with a .297 OBP. But already in July he has 12 homers a new career high. Now maybe he is just hitting them right at them all the time, or maybe he is just having a down year. Or maybe he signed a lower dollar amount contract and if he puts up say 20 homers he will get more moola after this year in arbitration. They need to move the fences back. This place can take any good hitter and make them a go for homer only hitter. Wasn't it pretty obvious pierzyski was gonna break his career high in homers?

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) come on hurt do what you do best......if anyone says SO i will kill you He did what he does best.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) Probably cause he has about a .370 obp when leading off. It is actually higher but not because he is taking walk... he is hitting his way on. You cannot go by his small sample size. He is not a lead-off hitter... he will not take alot of pitches to help see every pitch in a pitchers arsenal. One walk in about 45 at-bats lead-off? No thank you.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) We rank near the 12th out of 14 AL teams in BA and OBP. Our hitters are not patient and swing at bad pitches. If they worked counts more and hit pitches in the strikezone both of these numbers would be higher overall. Not gonna change any time soon. Our line-up is surrounded by guys who do not take pitches. Crede is almost always 0-2 it seems, uribe, rowand, pierzyski, ozuna. I really want to know why ozuna ever leads off. He takes about three pitches an at-bat... not acceptable.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) Yes. You are an idiot.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) Are you talking about the wild pitch? The bad bunt.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) Oddly we were near the league lead last year in runs scored also. Scoring runs is a bad stat. You can score 10 runs one game, and then score 1 for a few nights and look like a good average. Someone made a chart in the off-seasont hat showed we were not anymore inconsistent than other teams around the league last year. I agree, scoring runs is a bad stat. It's all about the doubles and triples!1!1!

Konerko with a nice pop up.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:53 PM) We're going to have to score 3 runs to win this game. That ain't happening.

Thomas looking at a 90 mile an hour fastball down the middle?

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) Thanks for s***ting your pants in front of another big crowd, guys. Losing 5 out of 6 at home is awful. I do not believe the game is over. Correct me if i am wrong.

Whether we win or lose this game this is the not way i would like to be going into the boston series. :headshake

Mother f***ing garcia.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) And he is known for? Hitting in the .240's with solid game calling.
