Hawk is going to go bonkers here if Jacobs does damage.

Gosh, we f***ing suck right now. Dotel, when he's getting it over the plate, is just begging to be crushed. Stoney and Hawk are livid at AJP for not calling for a 2-2 or 3-2 slider.

This team just can't get out of its own way

That 1-0 pitch to Guillen was right down the plate.

And there's the leadoff man on for KC. This game has some serious bad vibes going for the Sox. KC's always been a comeback machine against us.

Ugh, Fields has got to put a better swing against LHP than he did there. Nix is going to PH for Getz if there's another situation like the one we just had.

Getz won't get a lot of playing time against LHP with an AB like that. That was a horrendous at bat.

That was a goofy play. Don't get picked off Pods.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ May 6, 2009 -> 01:07 AM) Alexei is hitting under the mendoza line and then some. Asking him to bunt to help the team shouldn't be asking too much, especially since I'm sure that he's well aware how bad he's been so far this year. Alexei's batting .215, I believe.

Will Ozzie try the squeeze here? Didn't in the 5th in same situation.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 6, 2009 -> 12:04 AM) The 1-0 swing by Lexi was embarassing he is lost in this AB which will then not end well. If anyone was ever going to break their shoulder on a swing, it was on that hack.

DeJesus drops a deep fly ball. Time to get another run in.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 6, 2009 -> 12:00 AM) We looking at two for Dotel tonight, or is Brinkey okay to go? Why wouldn't he be ok?

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ May 6, 2009 -> 12:00 AM) Can someone help me out on why Matt couldnt just throw some hot heat to aviles and coco instead of being soo chippy with the corners????? Because MLB hitters can hit a 95 mph fastball over the plate, especially when they don't have to look for anything else. Callapso turned around Thornton's fastball, and they immediately changed location and tried to paint the outside corner.

Still have the lead thankfully.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 5, 2009 -> 11:56 PM) Coop was complaining when he pulled Floyd. Has the zone been tight for both teams? Tejada was getting a 3 foot plate it seemed.

Ugh...someone teach Thornton a curveball one of these years.

That 0-1 has been a strike all game.

Crisp has been as good against the Sox in this situation as anyone it seems.

Great location on those pitches to Buck. Come on Thornton, one more!

Wow, that looked like it was gone. Thornton can't keep pitching inside and low to righties...that was same pitch Zobrist bombed off of him.

How about a well-timed double play here?

Bulls*** call, as Jacobs swung.

Gavin getting pulled. Good move by Ozzie, another real mediocre start for Gavin. At this point, he's a huge question mark.
