Wow, Danks just made an awful pitch to Cuddyer. So typical, our offense shuts down and our pitching can't hold the lead.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 01:42 AM) So seriously, how big is the gap between AAA and our big league team if Anderson and Wise and Quentin all tear up AAA? There's a huge gap. Look at some of the pitchers who dominate in AAA and then suck in the majors. Guys like Mock on Washington, he's a perfect example.

That has to be one of the softer hits of Morneau's career.

Very nice catch by Quentin. He's a defensive specialist now.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 02:38 AM) Man we should be tearin this scrub apart.... Every slider seems to be hanging right over the plate.

Pull baseball mode

Now that was a nicely turned double play!

Walks the #9 hitter

Very nice!

Ugh, can't let that little b**** beat you. I don't understand why teams don't play him shallow, as he's never going to hit it over your head.

It's around this time where the offense starts to shut down. Tony, can we get your prediction on whether or not 3-2 will stand?

Texas tied up Detroit

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 02:12 AM) Considering our only good reliever is not available, we better have a 5 run lead going into the 9th to win this game The obviously don't teach loyalty to your employer at Grand Valley State...what a lame school!

Crap, the Tigers pitching continues to dominate the Rangers offense.

This umpire is f***ing pathetic.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 01:01 AM) Honestly one of your worst posts ever. Don't let the game get to you. 1. Rookie dp combo 2. Your "stats" are from nowhere 3. Although they've messed up some routine plays, they've saved us with some spectacular ones. I've been saying how bad the Alexei/Getz DP combo is all year. Getz doesn't throw hard enough to turn it, and Alexei seems tentative with his tosses to 2nd and he can't get anything on the throw to first. I don't care if it's a rookie DP combo, that doesn't mean it's not killing us this season.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 12:59 AM) There is no greater disdain for me in all of sports than the Minnesota Twins. There are things I can't say on this board that go through my head regarding that team and their "stadium." Horrible, unspeakable things. Haha, just like with me and the Cubs.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 12:57 AM) Yawn@Konerko's HR. We've still got 7 innings to go. Plenty of time for us to f*** it up. 8 years of pitiful baseball in this park is enough for me. Go ahead and ban me. Just remember this: we have Linebrink and Jenks to pitch against Morneau, Mauer, Kubel, etc. late in this game.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 12:56 AM) Nix is generally awesome, but Alexei is a bum. Makes all the amazing plays, but not the routine. Getz just sucks there. PAULIE!! Alexei is awful on basically anything relating to turning a double play though.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 12:56 AM) PAUL f***ING KONERKO SAYS f*** YOU AND THE DOME I love your enthusiasm in these games.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 12:56 AM) It's just what you have to come expect from White Sox baseball when they get to the Dome. Sorry, but it's a state of mind, not the team. That doesn't make it any better, but it might be the most frustrating thing about this entire organization. For paid professionals, along with a coaching staff and front office to treat the Metrodome as such a place of horror is embarrassing. But when it's Nix making the error, it's just bad luck. Maybe the Twins just hustle so much and hit the ball on the ground so often, and we're not used to the speed?

Holy cow, Konerko has that funky fly ball power going right now! Same swing he had last night.

If we had a good double play combo, we'd probably have 5-6 more wins this year. It's amazing how the most routine double plays aren't turned by the Sox.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 01:51 AM) This. Should have b****-slapped everyone on the field. Problem was that it was the two supposed leaders, AJP and Konerko, that really struggled.

Pods needs to focus more on hitting than trying to be cute. He's been so much more effective lately when he's swinging normally and driving the ball.
