QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:19 PM) Can Batista head fake like that while in the stretch? I would assume it would be a balk, but what do I know. Me too, sure looked like his entire body shifted.

ugh...bad approach rolling over on that

Nice hit by CQ there...too bad Kotsay couldn't get to 3rd. Can AJP go 4-4?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:18 PM) I think we'd have 4-5 all stars in the NL. pitchers, you mean?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:15 PM) Facing the NL after a 2 month losing skid? I'm trying not to jinx it...but I think Gavin Floyd would be an all-star in the NL.

Damn, he just missed that.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:14 PM) Has there ever been a bigger sight for sore eyes more than seeing the opposition send Kyle Farnsworth to the mound in a crucial situation the past 7 or 8 years? Owning a bar or pharmaceuticals and seeing Farnsworth come over?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) Because you touch yourself at night. My wife is 33 weeks pregnant....no way I'm touching her! These days I sit back, relax, and enjoy life by watching Gordon Beckham 2009 highlights while Air Supply "All Out of Love" plays in the background.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) And the #8 offense in the NL that year (out of 16 teams). And Mike Mordecai, he of the amazing at bat against Kyle Fansworth in Game 6.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) This is anecdotal, but it seems like he has these blips where his velocity spikes and then it goes back to mediocrity. Any reason why this seems to happen (if it does.) Fluid?

Why is Kotsay facing a LHP?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) I don't think all that much of our hitting coach. But this abortion of an offense is on Ozzie and Kenny. Kenny placated someone's silly notion to recreate the 2003 NL Marlins offense. The only difference is instead of Miguel Cabrera we have Kotsay. This was built to fail. They also had D. Lee, a roided IRod, Encarnacion, Conine, and a few others.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) Even if you could pick anybody in the world to be the White Sox hitting coach, how many runs would you realistically expect the line up Ozzie threw out there today to score? I agree with you here, I was shocked we even scored one run today. While watching a video about how the anus can tear during pregnancy, all I was thinking was that it's going to be hard to score runs when you only have 4 guys with more than 3 homers in your lineup.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) Farmio saying Jenks may get the day off. Maybe JP can go the entire way. Play match-ups...Peavy can't face Dunn again though.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:06 PM) Jake's velocity appears to be up a MPH or two at this point. It's about the same, he just has great command of it so far. Willingham's protect swing on that 0-2 pitch was comical.

Great location on those last two pitches to Dunn. Be careful with Willingham here, as Peavy's fastball has been tailing back over the plate the last two innings.

Jeez...hammered foul!

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:01 PM) Dunn leading off . . . bad feeling about this AB. Dunn has just gotten under 2 pitches already this game. Gonna have to keep the fastballs high and the sliders low

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) haha, Blyleven b****ing about the Twins playing the Phils He's been doing it all week.

Oh Bert....STFU

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 09:55 PM) I think that's a great idea. I agree with it as well.

That was a horrible, horrible swing on a 3-1 fastball by Beckham. His mechanics at the plate are freaking terrible.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:41 PM) If the Sox lose, the beat writers do need to ask today, though, about sitting the Big Three the same day. It's one thing being in bed with the colorful Oz; but if we lose, it's a fair question and should be asked. It is sad CQ can't return to the CQ of that one season. Since when is Viciedo part of the big 3?

Alexei really has gotten into a funk by opening up too early at the plate.

Hopeful for Alexei to come through, but I noticed he's struggled making contact today.
