QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) And the #8 offense in the NL that year (out of 16 teams). And Mike Mordecai, he of the amazing at bat against Kyle Fansworth in Game 6.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) This is anecdotal, but it seems like he has these blips where his velocity spikes and then it goes back to mediocrity. Any reason why this seems to happen (if it does.) Fluid?

Why is Kotsay facing a LHP?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) I don't think all that much of our hitting coach. But this abortion of an offense is on Ozzie and Kenny. Kenny placated someone's silly notion to recreate the 2003 NL Marlins offense. The only difference is instead of Miguel Cabrera we have Kotsay. This was built to fail. They also had D. Lee, a roided IRod, Encarnacion, Conine, and a few others.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) Even if you could pick anybody in the world to be the White Sox hitting coach, how many runs would you realistically expect the line up Ozzie threw out there today to score? I agree with you here, I was shocked we even scored one run today. While watching a video about how the anus can tear during pregnancy, all I was thinking was that it's going to be hard to score runs when you only have 4 guys with more than 3 homers in your lineup.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) Farmio saying Jenks may get the day off. Maybe JP can go the entire way. Play match-ups...Peavy can't face Dunn again though.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:06 PM) Jake's velocity appears to be up a MPH or two at this point. It's about the same, he just has great command of it so far. Willingham's protect swing on that 0-2 pitch was comical.

Great location on those last two pitches to Dunn. Be careful with Willingham here, as Peavy's fastball has been tailing back over the plate the last two innings.

Jeez...hammered foul!

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:01 PM) Dunn leading off . . . bad feeling about this AB. Dunn has just gotten under 2 pitches already this game. Gonna have to keep the fastballs high and the sliders low

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) haha, Blyleven b****ing about the Twins playing the Phils He's been doing it all week.

Oh Bert....STFU

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 09:55 PM) I think that's a great idea. I agree with it as well.

That was a horrible, horrible swing on a 3-1 fastball by Beckham. His mechanics at the plate are freaking terrible.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:41 PM) If the Sox lose, the beat writers do need to ask today, though, about sitting the Big Three the same day. It's one thing being in bed with the colorful Oz; but if we lose, it's a fair question and should be asked. It is sad CQ can't return to the CQ of that one season. Since when is Viciedo part of the big 3?

Alexei really has gotten into a funk by opening up too early at the plate.

Hopeful for Alexei to come through, but I noticed he's struggled making contact today.

So is Martin throwing an invisible baseball? 86 mph straight fastball, yet he's set his career high in strike outs?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 09:37 PM) It is hard to understand why he'd rest both Paul and Rios the same day. It's pretty obvious Oz thinks he can win this one 1-0 today. I would disagree. We'll need more than 1 to win. Should be interesting to read the postgame quotes if they ask Oz about his reasoning on Paulie, Rios, Viz. Wonder if he'll implode like Lou. No one asks Ozzie tough questions. Lou gets a lot more media scrutiny.

How's Peavy looking?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 05:58 PM) Waiting for fathom to see the lineup I saw this while at an 8 hour Birthing class....and the lineup disgusted me more than seeing live births on video.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 06:18 AM) Do you even slightly follow teams other than the White Sox? There's probably 15 set-up men with a better ERA than Matt Thornton this season as well.

Hell of a play by Beckham! Great win!

Haha...one more right at a Sox!

Whew, rocket right at Alexei.
