Any chance we even get another runner on base this game?

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 09:24 PM) Honestly, I hope either we're great (lose one or two) or terrible (win one or two) over the upcoming road trip. None of this meddling bulls*** where we're sticking around, so when the season concludes everyone can say we were in it nearly the entire way. NO. Get it out of the way by early September. Agreed, and then maybe let Danks take some time off to get his finger better.

Linebrink looked very good that inning!

Haha, shame shame shame. This Sunday lineup would have gotten Manuel destroyed in the media.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 09:19 PM) How does Dye as s***ty as he has been still not hit for one of them. He is not going to pinch hit for anyone else in the lineup until they hit again........which they most likely will not....oh wait that 9th inning rally. Our manager has just mailed it in, along with the players, for the last few weeks. It's like they're all taking the philosophy of "it is what it is".

Awesome inning!!!!

Castro and Lillibridge to start the 7th. Heaven forbid we start subbing players now and try to get a rally going.

Alexei with a prevent swing on the 3-1. This lineup is so messed up right now. However, there's not much Ozzie can do when 6 of the regulars are struggling.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 08:51 PM) I would have to say that Guillen is having as bad a season as anyone. He does not seem to have afeel for the game and I am not saying he should be fired. There's no reason for AJP to be sitting today with Sox facing a great LHP on Tues

Awful performance by Buehrle today...he faces the Yanks next. Will he ever win again? Ha

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 08:42 PM) Is it just me, or does his bat look really, really slow? His swing is not fluid like it used to be. Ozzie might want to pull Buehrle while we're still in the game.

Rios is just really not good. Three perfect pitches for him to hammer.

Huge hits by Pods and Beckham. One time here Rios

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 08:27 PM) God we are average

You have to love how every hitter keeps trying to pull that weak little slider by Berken. Looks like another strong offensive finish to the season for the Sox.

Wow Buehrle....shades of 2006 for him in the 2nd half of the year. Really a shame we didn't trade Fields for Pie. Could have saved us 60 million dollars.

Awesome, Quentin gets numerous hangers to hit and then eventually pulls the outside offspeed pitch. Just playing out the season, it truly feels like.

Way to get in front of the ball Lillibridge!! I can't believe this pathetic player is getting another chance in the majors. Shame on this organization.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 07:00 PM) f*** this, rios you blow Hawk already getting on Rios for his long swing.

Pods and Beckham are having quite the battle to see who can reach .275 first.

Why are we letting the pitcher bat today?

Wow, Buehrle's an absolute joke right now. How many outside pitches can Castro continue to call for?

Why can't Quentin bat 3rd again? Utilizing Rios as a #3 hitter is about the dumbest thing you can do.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 05:26 PM) Everyone is saying this, the broadcasters, even Brooks Boyer said it. I know if Jerry Manuel were managing the team, he would get some heat for it. I wonder why Ozzie gets a free pass. Isn't he supposed to be a great motivator? If its Greg Walker's fault guys don't hit, shouldn't it be Ozzie's fault if they aren't mentally prepared to play? or the lack of intensity in the third game of a series when going for a sweep!

Cardinals are now up 8 games on the field in the NL Central, and their schedule is pretty damn easy the rest of the way. They have 3 games remaining on the road this year against teams over .500. Chris Carpenter should be the NL Cy Young winner as well.
