Agree completely daa

Humber and Gavin with shockingly similar starts

Danks looking great out there

22k in attendance

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 04:24 AM) He is an enigma Outside of last year, he's the exact opposite of an enigma

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 03:19 AM) News flash! Dunn K's, Dunn K's How dare he reach base 3 times tonight. Konerko now 3 for his last 24, he must be auditioning for 3rd base.

Dunn seeing the ball really well tonight.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 03:13 AM) You all hate our bullpen when our worst guys blow it but I never hear a peep when Jones-Thornton-Crain-Reed shut it down (may not be a better top 4 bullpen guys out there) and the rest of those guys are what you expect -- sometimes on, sometimes off. Paying much of anything for a bullpen arm would be very superfluous at this point. Brian Bruney is not a bad 5th reliever, might as well let him have that role. Usually Ohman does a good job against lefties, not tonight. Stewart does fine as a long man, but I wouldn't mind letting him start in the minors instead if we've got somebody else. Santiago continues his run of just getting bombed in the last inning of a game (worded that way to account for the Cespedes debacle).

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 03:11 AM) When I see Ohman coming in, I want to grab a bat. 6 straight fastballs by Ohman thrown before that homer. AJ's pulled that crap way too often this year.

Umpire might by MVP for the Astros tonight. Bad game all around tonight, it's amazing how much swagger this team lost as soon as PK got injured and sat out last Sunday.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 04:08 AM) When Brian Bruney is being pined for, it may be time for KW to make a few phone calls. The more you think about it, if he's serious about trying to get this team into the postseason, then he needs to add another veteran righty reliever and a starting 3b.

I miss the Hawk who would complain on nights when the umpire sucks.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 04:05 AM) Hector needs to work on some things But he was so good during Spring Training!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 03:03 AM) Hector being Hector. Shades of Tuesday night

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 02:53 AM) This Houston team is horrid anyone have the attendance tonight? Their offense isn't terrible. They have a few decent bullpen guys, and we had to face all of them tonight.

Same place that the 3-2 to Schafer was and called a ball that led to the Lowrie homer

Ho hum, another 0-4 for the 0-Dog. Please Kenny, save us from this pathetic 8-9 combo

Damn, thought Danks was faster than that. Alexei with another weak grounder though

That was a great AB for Danks. His numbers against LHP were really impressive in AAA

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 02:38 AM) They keep talking about how "sharp" Gavin was. That's scary. Because the zone is HUGE tonight and the Astros aren't a good offense. If 6 IP and 4 ER vs. a team like Houston on a night where the zone is huge is the best we can hope for...that's not gonna cut it. Gavin might as well go all Mike Jackson and throw curves (sliders in Jackson's case) 90% of the time.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 02:38 AM) I kind of agree, but that reliever looked pretty tough on a lefty didnt he? He is, but all the more reason to not fall behind in the count against him. It's not like AJP was going to walk.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 02:35 AM) Are the Tigers the 1984 White Sox? It is crazy we don't play the Indians again until late September

Tigers lose on a bunt by the Reds

Well, that was a terrible at bat by AJ. Lots of players on Sox right now seem to have their heads elsewhere.

Another beautiful swing by Rios! Huge AB here for AJ
