fathom

Wouldn't the smart move be to walk Melky to set up the DP against Butler?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:54 AM) Our performance this year against Bruce Chen alone is a fireable offense for Greg Walker. Not that such a thing would ever happen in this organization. He'll be let go so quickly if Ozzie goes elsewhere

Walker does a great job if teaching these guys how to hit lefties. Nothing like having a team with no power and no speed

Poor Rios. Hope he can handle boos

Rios' hot streak lasted like four games. Offense needs to start showing up at home

Have a feeling Stewart gets blasted tonight. Bad matchup for him

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 06:49 PM) I'd rather have Vizquel at 2B over Beckham, Gordon is clueless with a baseball bat. And Omar isn't?

No Dunn tonight! I have a feeling it's going to be a very high scoring game.

Nice win! Did what we had to do against Tillman. Time to sweep KC at home

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 09:32 PM) Omar is decent can you really sit there and deny that? Yes

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 09:10 PM) He doesn't get to play enough. Not saying he should. He was batting something like .270 ish last year. He knows how to hit. I remember he hit a triple sometime this year, how many triples do the SOX have this year? He moved Pierre into 3rd for the first run last night did he not? Could you trust ARAM2 with that task in the 2 hole? In a 4 run game, I'm not going to congratulate someone for advancing the runner.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 08:49 PM) Omar is still a solid glove and bat. He might have just had a bad day or is rusty since he's a utility player for the most part. Now Dunn on the other hand... he's just useless on defense and offense. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. THE SOX have won fine without his "contributions". Omar is absolutely terrible with the bat. Provides nothing productive at the plate.

Tomorrow is a make or break game for this team. You cannot lose a Buerhle vs Tillman match-up at this point in the season.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 02:12 AM) Blah. He's just a guy. People always overrate him though, which is why he keeps getting traded for. We lost tonight because we didn't take advantage with 1st and 3rd for our best hitter in the 7th and 2 on, nobody out in the 8th. Frasor hasn't been good, but really, we lost the game before he gave up that homer. I do agree that the game was over before that homer...you figured one of their hitters would run into a pitch sooner than later. Some really awful at bats by Konerko, Beckham and Dunn with RISP towards the end of the game. Also, no more of this pulling Quentin BS in the 8th inning of a tie game.

Will the Sox miss Masterson next week?

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 03:09 AM) You mean for 2 months before he jumps ship. Good thing for KW that Stewart was good in his one start up here. If Frasor continues to suck here, we're not picking up that option of his next season.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 03:08 AM) Frasor sporting something like a 3.00 WHIP since joining our team, with a 9+ ERA. That slider of his is flat. He needs to throw his fastball more it seems.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 03:08 AM) Right because we traded stellar players..... Jackson would look pretty good in our rotation right now

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 03:05 AM) It feels good watching a Saluki get the job done for the Sox. Don't think we've had an SIU alum in the bigs since Al Levine had a cup of tea on the southside. Just another in a long line of wrong posts.

Terrible pitch by Frasor. That trade looks worse every freaking day. Against a team with as much power as Baltimore, you can't keep prolonging the game.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 03:03 AM) This is starting to have the we're not scoring unless it's on a home run feel to it. I don't get that feeling for us, but I get that feeling for them.

QUOTE (TheCut87 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 03:03 AM) there was a lefty on the mound though and we all know what dunn can do against lefties..... Buck might have thought Lillibridge or Alexei would then bat

Some really bad managing by both guys tonight.

Very nice AJ! You have to get someone to run for him, as you're not going to score on a single against this outfield.

Seems like Ozzie's playing not to lose.
