Wow, get Santos up in the pen. I wonder if Thornton's back is hurting him.

Thornton's fastball a few mph short tonight.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2011 -> 05:03 AM) Yeah, you hit those sliders. It's easy. It's not like the guy has a era of 0 on the year You just don't swing at them, as he doesn't throw them in the zone. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Wuertz. Has he pitched that much this year? I know he was out when we faced them the first time.

QUOTE (Cali @ May 14, 2011 -> 04:58 AM) I'm with you on the pessimism this year but I laughed that you didn't show up until s*** started going wrong... Sorry, on my own with the baby tonight who finally went to sleep. I can be accused of a lot of things, but only showing up when the going gets tough shouldn't be one of them.

Wish Sox would listen to the scouting report I had of Wuertz for the last 5 years. He'll throw a 3-2 slider about 95% of the time.

I found it enjoyable that Wimpy pointed out Beckham's bad mechanics more than Hawk or Stoney has all season. Wimpy's fantastic!

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 14, 2011 -> 04:50 AM) He wasn't exactly getting hammered...just a bunch of bulls*** hits...Crain could have easily given up the same hits...that one to Suzuki was ridiculous. Dejesus was locked in against him tonight, so Suzuki should have been last batter.

Filthy! No homers here Crain.

Ozzie clearly left him in for one batter too long.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 12, 2011 -> 08:34 PM) A Carter is just not having a good season. Never was a fan, but BA hyped him up due to his participation on Team USA.

The biggest issue is we have our worst hitter getting the most at bats every game.

QUOTE (kane0730 @ May 12, 2011 -> 07:46 PM) I know this would be NEVER happen, but I'd love to see this for 2 weeks: Rios Alexi Dunn PK CQ AJ DV GB MT/BM Perfect, I've been suggesting that for two weeks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 12, 2011 -> 07:25 PM) I can't believe the 180 on Danks. It was a like a week ago he was a bust. Now he should be called up? Man I am going to be able to recognize people on this site by their neck collars from all of the whiplash. After his 0-5 with a K today, I'm sure the bandwagon will see people jump off.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 12, 2011 -> 05:48 PM) An .840 OPS last year in the majors and an .838 OPS in AAA this year (after a terrible start due to his hand) is pretty damn good for an OF. Plus he is young and will continue to get better. I still don't get how he is not a fit for this team. And a cannon for an arm in the outfield

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 12, 2011 -> 05:41 PM) Ozzie won't use Vizquel in certain situations out of "respect", so yeah I think he'd give Pierre an unusually long leash for the same reason. We're talking about his favorite player here. Pierre works hard and is great in the clubhouse, which I think would make it hard for Ozzie to pull him out of the lineup. The other problem is that Ozzie wishes he could have nine Pierre's in his lineup, so convincing himself to pull one may be impossible. Phenomenal post!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 12, 2011 -> 02:59 PM) He might have actually taken over the crown of "Worst Defensive LFer in Chicago". And that is not easy. Absolutely, it's not even close. At least Soriano has a strong arm that doesn't turn routine singles into doubles.

I can't get this smile off my face. Great way to go into the off day.

Holy cow!!

Great job PK! Can you play shooting guard?

So a save opportunity for Thornton?

Way to go Brent. That catcher just saw his life flash before his eyes.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ May 12, 2011 -> 06:13 AM) check Jepsen's bank accounts after the game for any mysterious deposits He threw that 20 feet over Conger's head.

Squeeze?

In Sox fashion, I'm sure everyone thought Alexei would be out at home.

NO WAY! I was going to say let's hope for that.
