QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 24, 2009 -> 06:20 PM) That one pitch was just horrible, over the plate and above the knees. Yep, and the first pitch to Hinske was a curve right over the plate.

It just seems we're allergic to good ABs early in the game. This umpire is awful though...really squeezed Buehrle in the 1st.

Matt Cain has been Mr. Lucky this year. As of last week, he was leading the majors by allowing a .470 OBP to the leadoff hitter each inning.

Yes sir....I love Doug Eddings.

I'm real happy Bud Black pitched Heath Bell in a 4-0 game last night with 2 outs and made it so he couldn't use him tonight.

Stay down Jose...gave up 7 runs (5 earned) in less than 6 innings.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 24, 2009 -> 02:06 AM) Nyjer never had a chance. Who has a better chance to hit Thornton: Morgan or Ken Griffey Jr?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 24, 2009 -> 02:13 AM) For some reason, Fields on the basepaths had Ohlendorf scared s***less. It seems like our runners never get a good jump.

BTW, Homer Bailey sucks.

And the leadoff walk. Dotel's numbers are way, way better than it seems he's pitched this year.

Throw strikes Dotel!

Quentin isn't going to do anything at the plate until he starts hitting it towards the middle of the field. I've never seen someone pull more pitches than he has over the last month.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 24, 2009 -> 01:42 AM) Clayton gets out of it. Six scoreless innings, just four hits. Hell of a job. Turn it over to the pen. Poor San Diego...Richard could have been a hell of a pitcher for them at Petco. I'm glad we have him.

I'll take it!!!! Hell of a performance by Richard.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 24, 2009 -> 01:41 AM) You can tell Richard is out of gas, but Adam LaRoche decides he wants to suck. This is just terrible managing by Cora right now.

That really needs to be it for Richard. Why are we letting him face the righty when he's at 105 pitches?

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ May 24, 2009 -> 01:39 AM) I would still give Fields some more time. Either way, I would hate to see Gordon move to a corner IF spot. I couldn't agree more. Moving him to 3rd would really diminish his above average ability as a middle infielder.

Not really sure why Richard was left in to face Monroe. He's now at the 100 pitch mark, and his pitches are all over the place. Tying run to the plate.

QUOTE (OilCan @ May 24, 2009 -> 01:36 AM) Fathom, I hope you're right, but just like your tagline, Mr. Pessimism, I dunno... I could very well see SLAYER! go to SS and Lexi @ 2b. KW can still make a trade for a 3B if he feels that Tank will take a little longer to develop... Ozzie has reiterated every chance he can that Alexei will be our SS now and in the future.

Leadoff double for Pirates. Cora needs to get Dotel up in the pen. Can't let Richard get into too much trouble.

Alexei is staying at SS, I can guarantee that. Beckham's playing at SS tonight.

That a boy Alexei!!! 2 run homer...I love him in the 2nd spot.

Contreras just imploded in the 4th inning. 5 straight reached on him, including a walk and HBP.

Fields hits another weak ball that only he can do. It's time to get rid of him, who knows what happened, but his career with Sox needs to end.

Very nice catch by Quentin on a play at the wall.
