Pods bails out Dye on a bad 3-1 swing. Nice to get one back....this pitcher is perfect for Thome to crush.

That was beautiful. I love Alexei in the 2nd spot.

Good job by Pods...hit and run time, as Cahill is a DP waiting to happen.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 01:19 AM) Alexei screwed up, but White Sox pitchers need to pitch over mistakes. Even Hawk called it before it happened...Gavin absolutely can't pitch out of the stretch.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 01:18 AM) Grow a pair Gavin. Whenever someone makes a mistake, he always gives up runs. I don't even care that those were earned runs, but any mistake, Gavin cripples. Luckily, we should hit Cahill fairly well tonight. Cahill's been very good this year. 2 runs or less in 8 of 10 starts.

Jeff Cox must have worked hard on that defensive shift today. Why would you ever have defensive players so close to each other?

Heaven forbid Floyd ever pitch over a defensive miscue.

And just like that, we're down 2-0. Holliday's going to have a huge series against us.

I remember that Alexei at 2nd base.

Let's hope we get off to a good start tonight if the window is only 2 hours.

And here is the dumbest thing to ever be said. According to Cubs ass kisser Paul Sullivan (on ESPN 1000), the reason Peavy and Oswalt didn't want to pitch in the AL Central for the Sox is possibly because the other teams in the AL Central play in bland cities (Detroit, Minnesota, Cleveland, KC). Thus, that's why they'd rather play for the Cubs and travel to the beautiful cities of St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Milwaukee.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 09:24 PM) Did it appear that Wise took a bad route to the ball that DeJesus hit for the double. Stone said he had no chance but it looked like he went the wrong way and got turned around. He had no chance on it, but it was also because he was playing DeJesus like he was Daniel Cabrera at the plate.

Yep, BA being platooned

No big time program in college athletics is clean. I have good connections to 3 major programs, and I can say with 100 pct certainty that they've broken the rules with either academic issues or illegal benefits.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 03:20 AM) Hey, guys! What do you say we all write an article that Ozzie Guillen ate a baby last night? We won't name names, but i'm sure we must have heard it somewhere, from someone. Obviously, we'd be legitimate to make it into the Trib or on CSN. It sounds like this Ortiz shmuck doesn't want Oswalt to be traded, so he's putting words into his mouth. I heard it's false, as the baby was not interested in coming to Chicago

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 02:29 AM) It wasn't really tagging though, we're not talking about a sac fly. It was apparent pretty early that the ball wasn't going to be caught, so BA should've been waved around and would've scored easily considering the thing went all the way to the warning track. Holding him up is what caused the out (although in fairness to Cox, I'm not sure where exactly Anderson and AJ were standing when the ball went over Guillen's head). Anderson went back to 2nd on contact

Cruz did not throw at Alexei to try and hit him or send a message. He was trying to throw the inside fastball to set up the slider. I'm happy Jenks didn't throw at anyone, because I can't see MLB being too kind to him right now.

I agree it was good to try and score there...Jeff Cox is terrible at his job. We dodged a huge bullet win Pods didn't tag but DeJesus couldn't catch the blooper.

Your weekly reverse racist comment by Joe Morgan tonight was "Milton Bradley is one of the best athletes in baseball".

I have a feeling KW's going to go nuts in the press and say the whole rumor about going after Oswalt was bogus.

Sorry greg, that was horrible base running by Anderson. With one out, you never, ever plan on tagging unless you're on 3rd base.

What a hell of a play by Hoffman on the catch and throw.

Milton might have had a homer there if the wind wasn't blowing in. With that said, I'd rather he pitch with the wind blowing in.

Loretta with the big hit there to not let Marshall off the hook.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ May 31, 2009 -> 11:47 PM) Makes you wonder why these guys wouldn't want to come here... if they are afraid to pitch in the AL then we don't need those p**** ass b****es anyway. Because these guys know they won't put up as good of numbers in the AL and at the Cell, and they'd be hard pressed to get another big contract when their current one expires.
