Konerko's poor effort in not getting his body in front of the ball cost us.

Someone should tell Hawk that this umpire has been quite Sox friendly tonight.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 02:32 AM) that's why pierre steals on the first pitch, then if you desperately want to bunt, bunt him to 3rd. I have no CLUE why you'd bunt a speedster from 1st to 2nd while taking the bat out of the hands of one of our best hitters. Yep, you might as well have Jim Thome leading off if you're going to have Beckham bunt in those situations.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 03:29 AM) Carlos shuts some people up!!! And makes me look smart!!! I don't know how anyone wouldn't think Beckham and Quentin are the two Sox hitters who have potential to be above average.

Suck on that, small ball fans

Carlos!! I still don't forgive the bunt, but that's great to see.

You have to be f***ing kidding me. I HATE YOU OZZIE GUILLEN!

Very encouraging by Santos, let's get him a win!

Filthy by Santos!

Horrible, horrible approach with RISP. It's sickening how many hitters are having their head come flying out.

Thanks again ump!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 03:01 AM) Ozzie and his bunting. GMAFB Especially after walking the leadoff hitter

I forgot just how much I hate seeing the Sox try and bunt

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 01:50 AM) Then wtf was the point of all that "Speed"? It's not like we're significantly faster than we were to end last year when Dye was out of the lineup.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 02:45 AM) Just stopping by to say that our offense is abysmal. I like your posts so far this year!!

Hitters acting like they've never seen a slider. We got 2 gifts that inning, and only get one.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 01:43 AM) Would his team be winning if the ump wasn't missing calls though? Yeah, ump didn't blow any calls to Brantley or Sizemore.

QUOTE (joeynach @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 01:41 AM) Lol, not only was that ball 4 to CQ a strike right down the middle, but thats a pitch Quentin should and can hit 450 feet. Well said, along with the first pitch to Beckham.

Wow, that was a blatant strike

Some dreadful at bats with RISP tonight.

Wow Andruw...nice throw to Beckham. STOP THROWING FASTBALLS TO SIZEMORE!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 02:12 AM) No offense, but if you guys are going to b**** about the offense, give it a few days. It is the 3rd game of the season and at this point, offensive production tends to be lower anyway because the pitchers tend to have the advantage early in the major league season. The lineup is weak on paper, struggled by most accounts in Spring Training, and aren't putting good swings on the ball at all. Someone like Rios, I'm actually encouraged with him as he's looking good at the plate. Teahen's swing is so awful, I can't see how he'll ever square the ball up.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 01:11 AM) What can he do when the umps haven't been calling a ton of his curves for balls. The Indians announcers have been really impressed with Gavin and have been ragging on the umps for not helping him on some of his hooks. Gavin is so f***ing good. BTW, I missed the top of the first, but since then, this ump has had a gigantic strike zone.

Yep, I'm of the opinion he'll be our ace by end of year. And Hawk, that was a terrible pitch that Konerko chased!

QUOTE (icroca @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 01:10 AM) You think because this is my first day of posting, it's the first White Sox baseball game I've seen? The hitters' approach at the plate is just gross leading me to believe it's the coaching and not some amazing coincidence. No, I'm saying that most of us on here aren't going to turn every bad scoring game into a Fire Walker thread.
