QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 3, 2009 -> 01:23 AM) Since June 1st 2006 through yesterday (I'm not even going to count today) Jose has made 76 starts and this is what he has to show for it: 25-35, 5.29 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 5.7 K/9, 10.42 H/9 Just more proof that 2005 was a magical season for the White Sox.

It's pathetic how we keep double teaming Marbury on the drive while leaving House/Scalabrine wide open.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 3, 2009 -> 02:13 AM) what's the point of a trip to the DL? I would think it has to be charlotte to work out whatever is happening. I still applaud the guy for getting back so soon. Maybe it's just too soon. (or maybe he's too old). It's not like he's been tearing it up since the end of the 2006 ASB anyways. Still ranks as worst contract/extension in KW's history.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 3, 2009 -> 02:13 AM) If it's a do-over, we could possibly see Jose DL'd or sent down and try to have a new pitcher up by tomorrow, without losing a game in the process. Poreda could get the start tomorrow.

RAIN DELAY, YES!

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 3, 2009 -> 01:09 AM) what happens if it ends at 4? do over? I don't remember the rules. Yes, it would be postponed. They'll do their best to get this top of the inning going right now.

Damn, 4th inning is over. Maybe the worst pitched inning of the season.

9-1...pull Richard and save 5 minutes! Our 5th starter/long relief situation is pathetic this year. Richard's fastball is way down from last year.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 3, 2009 -> 01:05 AM) Clayton is taking his sweet ass time. I was very happy for CQ to not throw him out at 2nd base. They are absolutely destroying every pitch over the plate.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 3, 2009 -> 01:03 AM) Sure he will. He's not going to send Contreras out there every fifth day to get destroyed, he'll make a move and I have a feeling this is just about it for Jose if I had to put money on it I'd say he hits the DL before his next scheduled start. I agree...you never, ever hear Hawk get this upset at a "core" member of the Sox.

Ozzie should pull Richard for Broadway right now. Stall a little more if at all possible.

Kap, is rain harder than this going to start coming down?

8.31 ERA for Contreras now. GET RID OF HIM!

Scalabrine just ass raped Rose, and no foul called.

And Contreras is pulled. Hawk is absolutely going off on him right now.

6-1 after a single by Kinsler. Everything is being hit hard against him. At this point, he has to be sent to the minors.

Hawk is so pissed at Contreras right now, it's refreshing to see. First out is a 400 foot flyout. Ozzie should pull him so that we can waste 5 minutes and get closer to rain.

3 straight doubles off of Contreras. The real question is "how in the hell does he get anyone out?" He throws 88 mph with little movement and no offspeed pitches.

4-1, with Rangers threatening to get more. Please, please let this be his last start with the White Sox. Even Hawk said it's just a matter of time when you're throwing the crap that Contreras is throwing.

So Mike Huff is stating that Jose throws a curve ball? Rain is on the way, but the super quick top of the 4th inning might hurt any chance of this not going 5 innings. Jose is so f***ing bad...it's not a good story anymore, it's a glaring hole for the Sox.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 3, 2009 -> 12:47 AM) At this point I'm almost willing to bet that Jose spends a little time in the minors this season. He does have an option remaining. Since he's accumulated over 5 years of service he'll have to consent to any reassignment but with the way he's pitching he won't have much of an argument if KW chooses to go that route. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that he has nothing on the mound anymore. His forkball has completely abandoned him. His fastball is down into the 89-91 mph range. He doesn't give the Sox a good chance to win many starts with the junk he's throwing up there. Of course, we have to stop challenging lefties with 2 outs if there's an open base and righty on deck. Two straight starts with TERRIBLE pitch calling caused him to give up multiple runs.

Kap, how soon until the rain hits, and how severe will it be? BTW, Dye is 2-19 with RISP this season.

Well good thing we pitched to the powerful lefty with an open base and two outs. It's not like lefties are hitting over .325 against Jose this year, and righties only at .230.

Goodness, Jose is f***ing awful. Of course, that was just stupid throwing him a fastball inside in that situation. Great job AJP! BTW, for those not watching, Hawk said that AJP has been great behind the plate this season. I HATE WATCHING DANNY WRIGHT PITCH AGAIN!

Huge batter here in Blalock. Don't give in with a right up next.
