Another 2 strike hit allowed by Jackson.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 07:56 PM) You're not wrong. I have a terrible felling about this series. I hoping for a win on Sunday. I'll be content with one win. Yesterday's win gave the Cubs something to play for (the elusive 3 game win streak)

When's the last time we scored more than 2 runs against a starter? Was it last week vs Doug Davis?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 07:55 PM) ? Meant to say "Greg Walker is going to get blasted if this offense gets shut down this weekend"

Greg Walker is going to get shut down this weekend. Should be interesting to see what happens with Ozzie being so strong in his support of Pierre. Will it be Dunn that gets benched?

No homers for Carlos Quentin since June 8th

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 07:48 PM) in an NL park with the this offense looking like this, there is no matchup benefit to the White Sox. They need the starter to hold the opposition to 3 runs and hope for the best Well, I do agree with this until Quentin gets it going again. With him basically resembling Rios the last two weeks, this offense is Konerko, AJ or bust

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) Randy Wells featuring the two pitches that the Sox as a team cannot handle: sinker & change up. The Sox will not score another run off of Wells today. NO chance. Yep, we match up better tomorrow with Garza's fastball

Offense has to get going next inning

Viciedo got a mention in the hot sheet honorable mention this week. Holmberg #1

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:42 PM) Exactly. They said at the start that Marmol is probably not available today Oh, that's good to hear

So is the wind howling in now?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:35 PM) No s***. This is maddening. Did anyone on the coaching staff mention this to the team? Doesn't matter how many innings they threw, as most of them were by guys who wouldn't be used in a close game.

Rios has to got be benched. Call up De Aza if you have to, but we can't keep giving him playing time.

QUOTE (bulokis @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) We gave up a young, inexpensive pitcher to get this. Trust me, don't look at Baseball America today

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) Heh. Just seems like Wells is settling down. Prove me wrong offense! Wells has a reputation for settling down after being a terrible first inning pitcher. Gotta get to him next few innings before Marshall and Marmol.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:27 PM) Hopefully this doesn't turn into one of those "tip your cap to " type games. Was Wood activated?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:24 PM) Huge success, comparable to Jackson's 2008 first half? Didn't Javy have some really good years for Montreal? And like you said with Jackson, first half. He's just so damn inconsistent.

QUOTE (hawksox13 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:20 PM) Edwin Jackson = the black Javier Vazquez. I personally will not be sad to see him go. Oh please, Javy's at least had huge success in baseball earlier in his career.

Sounds like Jackson is really struggling out there.

Can't keep allowing leadoff hitters to reach.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 06:58 PM) how is that Reed Johnson sucks yet he plays well for the cubs? His swing is extremely short right now...very dangerous

How much did Beckham miss a homer by?

Yahoo says wind is blowing in. Is it blowing out to left?

Big first inning here for Edwin. Can't be walking a lot of guys on a day like this.
