Will Ozzie try the squeeze here? Didn't in the 5th in same situation.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 6, 2009 -> 12:04 AM) The 1-0 swing by Lexi was embarassing he is lost in this AB which will then not end well. If anyone was ever going to break their shoulder on a swing, it was on that hack.

DeJesus drops a deep fly ball. Time to get another run in.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 6, 2009 -> 12:00 AM) We looking at two for Dotel tonight, or is Brinkey okay to go? Why wouldn't he be ok?

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ May 6, 2009 -> 12:00 AM) Can someone help me out on why Matt couldnt just throw some hot heat to aviles and coco instead of being soo chippy with the corners????? Because MLB hitters can hit a 95 mph fastball over the plate, especially when they don't have to look for anything else. Callapso turned around Thornton's fastball, and they immediately changed location and tried to paint the outside corner.

Still have the lead thankfully.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 5, 2009 -> 11:56 PM) Coop was complaining when he pulled Floyd. Has the zone been tight for both teams? Tejada was getting a 3 foot plate it seemed.

Ugh...someone teach Thornton a curveball one of these years.

That 0-1 has been a strike all game.

Crisp has been as good against the Sox in this situation as anyone it seems.

Great location on those pitches to Buck. Come on Thornton, one more!

Wow, that looked like it was gone. Thornton can't keep pitching inside and low to righties...that was same pitch Zobrist bombed off of him.

How about a well-timed double play here?

Bulls*** call, as Jacobs swung.

Gavin getting pulled. Good move by Ozzie, another real mediocre start for Gavin. At this point, he's a huge question mark.

Infield single for Butler. You have to pull Gavin here, especially after what Jacobs did last AB.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 6, 2009 -> 12:40 AM) You wanna try tearing down Betemit or Allen based on meaningless conjecture or are you just going to avoid that? if we start to measure who should play based on Spring AB's Versus actual meaningfull at bats in the minors our organization really is screwed. David Cook seems to hardly be mentioned by the Sox brass. He's very old for AA and his numbers are nothing special.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 6, 2009 -> 12:40 AM) Gavin Floyd is a mental midget, period. He looks like a deer in somebody's headlights everytime he takes the mound That mental midget leads the AL in wild pitches!

Leadoff walk for Gavin. Get Thornton and Dotel up in the pen.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 6, 2009 -> 12:23 AM) If he is hitting .300 aqnd getting on at a .375 clip f*** the OPS and rest of the crap he is what they need and DH would be his best spot. I am not saying replace Thome but if THome is injured put him in there. There is enough power from every other spot in the line-up when Anderson is in center. Let's just be happy he's been somewhat productive. He's swinging a magic wand right now, so whatever we can get out of him, the better.

More aggressive with the offspeed that inning!!

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 5, 2009 -> 11:19 PM) Pods offense has never really been an issue it is the defense. With the power in the line-up already. Pods at DH makes sense to me. He seems to be more aggresive than when he left. Pods at DH? WHAT?

The 3-1 was a foot closer than the 3-0 strike.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 5, 2009 -> 11:09 PM) According to Gameday, all of them were off the fastball. I really wish he'd start using his curveball a lot more often. No reason to not use your #1 pitch (by a mile) more often.

A couple of fantastic slides by the White Sox result in a run.
