QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 02:06 AM) LOL. This team is not making the playoffs. Kenny Williams' comments today were awesome. Our defense has cost us at least a dozen game this year.

This defense is a f***ing joke. We have Rios and 3 designated hitters in the outfield.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 03:02 AM) But a lot of super fast swings, awesome swear words and cool shrugged shoulders. That 29 RBI total is stunning this season. It's crazy, as it's really hard to think of games this season that Quentin really helped us win. Last year, every game seemed to be due to him.

.230 for CQ with RISP, and no homers this year.

Awful...what's CQ hitting with RISP this year?

Time for Quentin to get into the 30s in RBIs this year.

Free Mark Kotsay 32 ABs and counting since Konerko's last extra base hit.

Teahen seems to do no wrong against the Sox.

Big double play there for Buehrle!

4th hit allowed by Buehrle when the batter had two strikes. He's getting far too much of the plate.

Pods has 2 walks in his last 92 at bats! Just say no KW!

At least Pods faces Greinke on Wednesday to boost his average back up to over .300

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 02:41 AM) btw, rios is bad It's always hard to judge players when they switch teams, as they're always trying too hard. Right now, Rios is a little pull happy. He'll be ok, he's a legit talent.

NIX! I can't believe he kept that fair after all the ones he normally hits foul. Please keep calling for that curve, Pena.

jphat is pissed. I never thought I'd say this, but Ozzie has got to find a way to get Kotsay's bat into the lineup against RHP.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 02:35 AM) LoL. It's been an inning and a half. We got two guys on base in our one at bat. Blaming a player cuz he couldn't get the tag down fast enough is a joke. Who tags the trail leg?

Bettancourt seems to destroy us. Another flat effort so far from the Sox. Thanks again Alexei!

Alexei's defense costs us a run. I'm so f***ing sick of defensive blunders.

Alexei with a terrible effort there on the tag. Great throw by Jermaine though.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 02:20 AM) Mark Buehrle pitches a no-hitter, Jenks sets the (at the time) record for longest stretch without a baserunner. Thome's 500th

Bannister's going to throw his cutter 90 pct of the time. He did some research on how Brandon Webb is so effective, so he decided that his best way to duplicate Webb's efficiency is to throw his cutter a ton.

Seems like a very lively crowd, considering the bad weather in Chicago today.

Vintage Pods

Of all games for them to show, why do they choose this one? A classic game from a terrible season with a walkoff homer by a guy not even on the team anymore. Just hearing Hawk get excited that Erstad was coming to the plate made me vomit.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 07:03 PM) He was playing LF. If you want to see what happened, just check out Capns avatar. Same exact play that he had a few years back in Oakland, the only difference is this time Pods didn't let the ball hit him in the noggin. Same wall, same jump, gravity this time didnt plunk him in the noodle as the last time Pods jumped. He bobbled or misplayed 4 balls in LF yesterday. It's amazing how frequently him and Quentin bobble a hit to left field. Him and Rios also got a terrible jump on Davis' flare in the 8th inning.
