Wow Rios...wow!

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 02:14 AM) Pffth. No one's as "special" as me. Ask my mommy. Agreed, she told me that last night.

Another lackluster AB for Jones. Damn, absolutely no bat speed being display tonight. Even Beckham's homer was on a change-up.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 03:07 AM) Fire Walker! Now, I had to say it, and thus, I feel a little bit better...not that it makes this performance less infuriating. Of course, the White Sox will somehow take 2/3 from the Yankees to stay in the race and keep our hopes up, and they might have to with the Mariners playing the Twins and Felix Hernandez having already gone today in the DH against BOS. You can't blame Walker for this offense right now. They're getting a lot of hits, just struggling with RISP and showing absolutely no power at all. Right now, you have 5 of the hitters in the starting lineup playing very well, and they're still not scoring a ton of runs.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 03:02 AM) 3 pop outs this inning. LOL!! No one has come close to getting on top of Matusz's 90 mph fastball. Impressive performance though for Matusz.

Free Castro!

Greg Walker needs to work on a new approach for Quentin to take against LHP. His current approach is absolutely atrocious. Seems like he has no prayer of getting the barrel on the ball.

One hard hit ball the entire night for the Sox.

Buehrle just getting torched the last few innings.

Ozzie needs to rest Rios a few games and see if he feels better. He's not really contributing much right now, and if he is banged up, rest him up for the last month.

Less than 24k tonight....YUCK

Ugh, Twins about to tie the game up.

BECKHAM! Where did this straight away power come from? Move him up Ozzie!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 02:35 AM) I think I would rather be watching Piranha 3D than listening to this debacle. Saw it today, fantastic! 3D glasses were annoying

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 02:34 AM) Watching Jones at the plate, I hope to hell the rumor that Manny has been claimed is true. He hasn't been claimed yet...all it takes is one team before us to claim him, and the Manny dream is gone. We won't know anything until the weekend.

Really Hawk, Wieters went to UNC-Ash? Um, no Orioles are just teeing off on Buehrle right now.

Pie just owns us...and jeez, Andruw sucks not only at the plate, but he's been awful in the field the last month.

Huge defensive play by Konerko there!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 01:27 AM) can't wait till the yankees get here You mean you're not confident in Garcia facing them on Friday night?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 01:26 AM) Has there been a more listless offensive performance this season? I feel sorry for anyone who paid good money to go to this game. I wish Ozzie had the guts to play both of his catchers in a game, the same way Gardenhire does. Worst case scenario, you lose your DH if the starting catcher gets injured. Ozzie has got to find more at bats for Castro.

Hopefully Viciedo can face LHP and play 3B when rosters expand. Omar's almost a sub .600 OPS vs LHP.

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 01:24 AM) What HAS happened to Andruw Jones? Is it injuries? PEDs testing

4th called 3rd of the night.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 02:18 AM) isn't patterson hitting like .800 vs. Burls? .333 going into that at bat...Patterson can hit a fastball, especially one in the 80s.

Great sequence to Bell...HUGE batter in Roberts for the rest of this game.
