Terrible AB for Thome...he looked like a rookie and Holland the veteran.

I hope CQ knows how many outs there are

So, who would rather have Nix up than Thome here?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 10, 2009 -> 02:30 AM) Rangers bring their best pitching propsect the the mound. Let's send him back to AAA. Thome hit one 389 11/12 feet against him last time for a double.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ May 10, 2009 -> 01:28 AM) ok,this is BS,how many of our guys gotta get hit before we do something about it? They weren't trying to, so I'll take the runner in that situation.

Hell of an AB by Dye. Loaded for Thome...thank you Ron Washington

Really bad managing here by Washington, as O'Day should have been in to face CQ/Dye.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 10, 2009 -> 01:25 AM) He isnt really a catcher, yet. Right now he wont make it as a catcher in the bigs, he needs to improve ALOT for that to happen, so youre looking at a 1B or DH, and in my mind he has plenty of power to hit 25 or more. Yes, if he's not a catcher, I agree he'll hit over 25 homers.

Getz should be running in this AB.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 10, 2009 -> 01:22 AM) Really? I thought I remember hearing from JPN that his power is ridiculous. He does have huge power, but you don't see too many catchers in the non-PEDs era hitting over 25 homers.

Good job by Linebrink!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 10, 2009 -> 02:19 AM) It won't be Tyler Flowers, but he'll give us Thome-like numbers at catcher with less homers and higher batting average. I highly doubt Flowers ever hits over 25 homers in a season.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 10, 2009 -> 02:18 AM) You are going to need a big turnover in the pitching staff to realize your dream I'd rather have a manager who will call from a pitch out once every 3 years, as to possibly give the opposition something to think about.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ May 10, 2009 -> 02:16 AM) It's a shame the Sox weren't able to get Edwin Jackson (a lot of people on the board wanted him, including me), he's dominating again. Jackson's numbers last year were troubling, but he's really turned it on this year. The Tigers are getting nothing from Ordonez, but they still look like the cream of the crop in the AL Central. Oh, and Joe Mauer's amazing.

Ozzie better be putting Blalock on base here.

It's really great how other teams just destroy us on the bases.

Wow, Linebrink can't field his position for s***. We're in trouble.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ May 10, 2009 -> 01:13 AM) This team has .500 all year written all over them...is it football seasn yet? .500? I think that might be better than a lot are expecting now.

QUOTE (Colorado Sox Fan @ May 10, 2009 -> 01:11 AM) Williams sucks.You guys spent the money to fill the stands and he did jack sh## to put a major league team on the field. He had a dollar to spend, and gave 50 cents to Colon and 50 cents to the homeless (Pods).

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ May 10, 2009 -> 01:10 AM) Yeah, but who's the replacement? Wilson Betemit isn't the answer. Unless Quentin starts to really get hot or Ramirez figures it out, this could be a looong year. Start playing Nix and Betemit over there. Fields just isn't giving the Sox good at bats.

Pods and his lack of bat speed being showcased tonight.

Fields is getting overpowered by the 90 mph fastball. It's really awful watching him bat. He needs to take a seat for a while.

I wonder when AJP will realize that hitters are just sitting on that inside fastball from Thornton?

And a flare scores the run. This team does so much during a game to hurt its chances of winning.

And there's another walk to the #9 hitter. Kinsler's up with 2 on, 2 outs. Kinsler's going to hammer that inside fastball if Thornton tries it.
