QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:20 AM) The game tonight is not indicative of anything on its own. Even the best teams in baseball have nights like these. We controlled the game throughout and then got done in by some hit batsmen and two hits in the 9th. Don't let the 9th be indicative of the whole night. Our weak point has been offense this year, and today we provided some. Our weak point is clearly our bullpen right now.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:17 AM) "This game won't matter much in the big scheme of things." /ranger He was talking the other day about how Buehrle struggled to start 2006 due to the extra innings he pitched in 2005. I guess he didn't realize Buehrle was great the first 3 months.

Reason this is a terrible loss is we might have faced the worst pitcher to start a game all season, and then we had about 10 pitches to win the game. This is so similar to the Tampa debacle on another Friday night where they had a long losing streak. Oh, and you suck Juan.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:17 AM) The same people who are b****ing that the season is over now will be the ones screaming that real fans (like themselves) can't get tickets to the post season games Shouldn't you be giving Bobby a sponge bat right now?

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:14 AM) Sergio has been really solid all year. Just because it hurts right now doesn't mean you start thinking of him as the worst pitcher in baseball. He's had 3 blow-ups in about 2 weeks. He looked like someone with no confidence at all tonight.

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:13 AM) Maybe JR better get off his ass and fire Ozzie and Kenny The bullpen is in shambles, and I blame KW for leaving the unreliable Pena on the roster coming into the season. The fact we have two righties in the pen that even should sniff a big league roster is usually a bad sign.

I would also like to know why AJ called for a change-up to Suzuki after the previous one almost hit him in the dick. Santos didn't throw a single change-up that inning that didn't tail hard towards his right.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:11 AM) I can't think of a single part of this franchise that doesn't suck right now. Our general manager sucks, our manager sucks, and our players perform below expectations/suck. Meanwhile, the owner continues to sleep as the team tumbles deeper and deeper into irrelevance. I wonder what it'll take for change. Konerko and Quentin are pretty awesome.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:09 AM) You know full well Terence isn't a manager in baseball who would have pulled him before the double. Totally disagree. It was clear he couldn't get anything but a fastball over. I really think Crain would have been brought in if he wasn't "overused".

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:08 AM) He had Willingham 0-2 and AJ decided to get cute. Sergio is fine. He's getting squeezed and then it just snowballed. He had no offspeed stuff tonight and his fastball is straighter than anyone else's on the team.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:06 AM) And that's a White Sox season. Sergio hit the wall about two months earlier than he did last year. So we're down to....nobody reliable in the pen.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:06 AM) Ozzie?? How bout Sergio s***ting the bed???? Of course Sergio s*** the bed, but there was no excuse to have him still in the game. Maybe KW should get off his ass and get us another righty in the pen.

We had something like 9 pitches to win this game. As big of a choke job as I can ever remember.

Screw you Ozzie.

Sizemore is going to destroy a fastball here.

Problem is he can only get the fastball over...and Sizemore I'm sure knows that. Crain should be brought in.

PULL HIM!

He's making so many mistakes with his location right now. Throw sliders!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:00 AM) f*** me. It's Suzuki. We're gonna lose this one. Don't throw him a high fastball...he's killed us in these situations on that pitch.

Santos is overthrowing every offspeed pitch the last few batters.

Hung the slider badly there. No homers here

No fastballs please

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 02:47 AM) Gordon back below .240. I'm sick of waiting for this guy to explode. He's the perfect example of the saying "slider-speed bat"

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 03:40 AM) And she is filthy rich. And you might be able to live out a fantasy with Gayle involved

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 02:38 AM) Yeah it could be frustrating to have those big offensives games, but it made the college game different. College baseball fans were used to it and grew to like it. The change is strange. You see teams in the Super Regionals with no one close to hitting 10 homers. I wonder how much scouting has changed of these players due to the bats.
