If this was AJP's last game, I want to say that his pitch calling this series was absolutely phenomenal.

BTW northside and others....do you see why we keep saying that the NL sucks at hitting?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 03:35 AM) Lefties hit .116 off of Marmol. Righties actually hit .180 against him. Of course...but then you have to consider how some of our guys are against sliders. I wasn't too upset Quentin was left to bat, as he has slider speed bat sometimes. Alexei had no chance against him.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 03:34 AM) Having an NL line up with Beckham, Nix, and pitcher obviously isn't our strong suit. And Jones and Quentin.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 03:33 AM) People jumping on our hitters looking bad in the 9th. Marmol has an insane amount of ability when harnessing it. I tip the cap, cant be shocked w/ our bats the way theyve been this year. Ramirez couldn't touch a slider that Chase Blackwood's fiancee could throw. How did Ozzie expect him to hit the best slider on the planet?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 03:33 AM) I've had with this team's offensive approach the last 5 years. Yes, EVEN IN 2005!!! It's always fun watching our approach in Backe in Game 4.

Seriously, what's the point of having Kotsay on the bench if you're not going to have him hit against one of the toughest righties on the planet?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 03:32 AM) We lose a game after winning 4 in a row and nobody can stand this team. Hilarious. Tonight was an awful offense performance but gimme a break. Gavin was the man tonight. Considering what it could have been, thanks for this perspective.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 03:32 AM) He has possesses a tool? Could have fooled me. Do you support my nickname of the Bust Brothers for him and Beckham?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 03:31 AM) I can't stand this f***ing team. What the f*** was Konerko doing swinging at two sliders that f***ing low and away? He was practically begging to hit into a DP. Hawk always talks about thinking you're in control of an at bat and the pitcher is in trouble. That was definitely not the case with PK's at bat.

Carlos Quentin has turned into a one tool player at best. Sad to see.

Awful managing by Ozzie not using Kotsay instead of Ramirez. You want versatility, then use it you pathetic idiot!

Here comes a 2-1 fastball. How about a Quentin HBP?

Lucky he didn't throw it to first there. Terrible AB by Konerko, he was trying to hit it to right but was swinging flat footed.

Very feeble swing by PK

Maybe Marmol will hit PK? PK needs to be looking to right field.

Just a pathetic at bat! Come on Rios, be a hero

I would have rather seen Kotsay bat here.

Stop showing that angle!

Be aware of the wild pitch here.

Balk!! Come on Alexei!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 02:22 AM) I agree with Greg. Stop the presses. lol. Me too

Very nice! Alexei should be bunting here. Maybe Marmol will throw it away?

I don't like Jones batting as it gives the catcher a better angle against Pierre.

Jones is batting? You have to be kidding me.
