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.

Two walks to start the inning. He's back to not driving off his back foot, and the ball is dying as it gets to the plate.

Yuck...leadoff walk to 9th hitter. His entire approach to lefties is so screwed when he can't throw a forkball.

Unfortunately, Jose is still struggling mightily with his offspeed stuff. Second time through the lineup for Rangers is going to be very difficult for him.

Fields struggled with the fastball that AB. At least he took a big swing on the 0-1 pitch.

No surprise Hinrich didn't show up tonight.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 3, 2009 -> 01:22 AM) Quick recap? I've been watching the bulls s*** themseleves. PK with good base running on single by AJP resulted in very long sac fly by Alexei. Seemed like a no doubter off the bat. 1-0, going into 3rd.

Thought Alexei had a 3 run homer there. Huff sure seemed to think so.

Quentin with a beautiful single that inning. Thome is the anti-Josh Fields, as he can hit a fastball but has no prayer against an offspeed pitch this season.

And they completely screwed the Bulls out of a point. Unreal!!!!!

The bad John Salmons showed up tonight. They better check that shot by Gordon again, it was a blatant 3 pointer.
