Shame on you KW and Ozzie...this is not a competitive team you're putting on the field.

Pods with even one ball hit remotely well this weekend. He is done, finished, washed up, etc. Trotting him out to the field is the most embarrassing thing to happen during KW's tenure.

QUOTE (whitesoxmanager @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:27 AM) it seems like we just played out this game knowing we had already lost. That's happened way too often this year. Just seems like there's no focus from the get-go. It's even more apparent when looking at the starts we're getting off to in games. I wonder how many innings we've led this year compared to innings we've trailed.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:26 AM) Lillibridge isn't stellar in CF. Outside of one nice play vs Toronto, I would say his defense has been disappointing. At least Nix looks like, at worst, a strong defensive back-up.

When you're 5 foot tall, it's hard to catch those.

BTW, outside of that first Twins game, Carrasco has gone a great job as our long reliever.

Ozzie's obviously given up, as there's no excuse to not let AJP face the sidearm righty in that situation.

O'Day has been really impressive in this series. Oh, and the White Sox are not good right now.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:02 AM) Why does Fields suck? Because our minor league development has really sucked this decade.

Fields needs to sit for a few games. He's not even close right now.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:58 AM) Lillibridge is my dude. That must suck

Pretty good night at the plate for Lillibridge. Good to see, all jokes aside.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:55 AM) Alexei with 2 hits tonight including that double. I really would like to see him bat 2nd. Maybe it will get him more fastballs as well as make him focus on hitting it the opposite way.

Pods late on an 88 mph fastball. Thanks for helping with the game on Friday, now please leave.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:42 AM) I am in the midst of a a family party looked at he score and the first thing I thought of is the Rangers starters who suck have shut the Sox out for all three games almostas bad as Toronto last year. Sorry time to can Greg walker. Against Texas starting pitching, we didn't have a single base hit to score a run all series. There was the Alexei sac fly, and then Thome's hit against Holland.

Alexei is just awful going to his right. He stumbles over his feet trying to dive.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:37 AM) Reinsdorf said they were boring last year, so he cut payroll, raised prices and brought in Brent Lillibridge. Only Sox fans would think that hitting home runs is boring.

How many announcing errors could they make in a minute span. Sox with trip to west coast to play Seattle, while Fields caught the pop up by Corky.

Is anyone in chat?

Nice play by Betemit, but another mental error by our defense. Keep us in the game here.

Half-ass dive attempt by Alexei there to keep the ball on the infield. Danks change-up has been a terrible pitch his last two starts.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:17 AM) Before Fridays game, Ozzie wanted to have Pods lead off. Ozzie thinks its 2005 still. Ozzie's inability to get our best bats into the lineup on a daily basis is killing this offense. Besides for Alexei, no one is really struggling among the regulars. It's just that the lineup is constructed so poorly.

Predict the lineup tomorrow: Pods RF Getz 2B Quentin LF Thome DH Konerko 1B AJP C Ramirez SS Betemit 3B Lillibridge CF

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:14 AM) Nix needs to be our starting 2B.. f***. Screw that...we have Getz there. Put Nix at SS, and then move Alexei to CF. Sadly, I feel like Ozzie will come up with any excuse to get Pods into the lineup now.
