fathom

They really should IBB Quentin here.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ May 6, 2009 -> 02:06 AM) That would require a manager with brains. I have no issues with how he's handled the pitchers this year. His handling of the offense has been just pathetic this season. Opposite of my beliefs from previous years.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ May 6, 2009 -> 01:03 AM) Good to see him shorten up his swing to get the man home. FREE WILSON BETEMIT! At that point, you can PH him and put Nix in at SS or even Lillibridge.

Ha, Pods crushed that ball about 40 feet. No magic wand that AB. This team is so hard to root for right now.

That was one of the worst ABs I've ever seen. Ozzie has got to start using Betemit in PH situations for Alexei against RHP.

Hell of a game for AJP. Please get this run in. Wright is a terrible match-up for Alexei with the slants on his pitches.

Please score here so we don't see Broadway.

Strike 1, of course it's not called.

Strike 5 to Crisp there.

Jermaine continues to chase anything on the full count pitch. Do we see Linebrink here? There's a good chance Broadway or Carrasco gets an important inning tonight.

Well, that wasn't good by Thome.

I have no idea how we're still tied.

QUOTE (stretchstretch @ May 6, 2009 -> 01:28 AM) the sox are lucky they're in the central and KC is in first. by season's end KC will fade into oblivon, and we'll be competing with the other four squads, who luckily for us are playing just about as poorly right now. The Tigers aren't playing terrible right now. They also made some interesting lineup decisions today.

Oh Carlos!!!!

Dotel has absolutely nothing. He should be pulled right now, as it's obvious to anyone he's just not throwing well tonight.

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.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 6, 2009 -> 12:14 AM) 2 games under .500 after tonight Just stop

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.
