Please let this be Alexei's last game at SS in his career!!

Romero's hurt. Jack Egbert just sucks. I'm so sick of these pitchers out of our minor leagues who throw 88 mph fastballs. I thought we were done with that terrible part in our franchise history?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 03:00 AM) Now the concerns are getting bigger than just Contreras, Ramirez and Viciedo. We have to worry about Floyd and the back of the rotation...and Thome just doesn't look right this season, either. I know he's hit a couple of opposite field homers, but his bat speed just seems to be missing. Ramirez and Getz are miscommunicating (probably was Getz's bag), wild pitches, walks, Anderson made an error, Ramirez opened the floodgates in the first and then Gavin (just like last year) didn't pitch around it. This has to be the ugliest four game stretch of White Sox baseball in a long time. We have a pretty sure loss Sunday and the Mariners are 12-5. The only bright spot is the rest of the AL Central sucks too, more or less. The AL Central doesn't suck. It's a divisiion full of solid teams.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 02:53 AM) That was probably one of my biggest concerns this year...putting the entire Lexi at SS eggs in one basket. Nobody knew what to expect. Honestly, I'm happy he hasn't had too many balls hit to him this year.

You've got to be kidding me. Schumaker just drops a routine pop up in the Cubs/Cards game. Cubs in position to take the lead. That was the worst dropped fly I've ever seen.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 01:48 AM) All in all, an overall s*** effort all around tonight, way to go guys. Gavin's fastball was ass, Alexei was ass period, no RISP hitting capability, K's a plenty, so frustrating. And the Cubs are making a comeback

Yep, this Alexei stuff at SS isn't going to work. His footwork is pathetic.

Alexei looks just awful at SS

5-0 on the wild pitch. Booing has started

Hey kalapse...if you read this, is there a site that has stats about what the batting average is against certain pitches thrown by a particular pitcher?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 02:32 AM) Scott Rolen comes to the plate, and promptly jumps on a fastball. He can't hit the curveball, keep pumping fastballs in. Then Anderson boots it, then a ball to the screen and Rolen is on 3rd. I guess should give up. It's two of the worst performances by a Sox team in a long time. Gettting dominated by terrible starting pitchers is embarassing with our lineup being completely healthy.

AJP is the worst defensive catcher in baseball, and it's not even close.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 02:29 AM) Didn't see Brian's atbat, but from what I read his double was opposite field? He seems to be a bit more comfortable (finally). The ball just jumps off his bat. If he could ever find a way to get the bat on the ball more efficiently, he could easily hit 25 homers a year.

5 scoreless innings for Greinke so far tonight.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 02:19 AM) Pitches out of it with the curve. That's the only thing that seems to be working for him tonight. He might have the best curve of anyone in the majors tonight.

Good job by Gavin getting the big out. Still in this game.

Gavin's lost his release point...shades of that Detroit start now.

Another fastball, another single. Stoney's getting very upset.

That's just freaking terrible. Fields and Thome surrounding Quentin is just way too many strikeouts waiting to happen.

Wow Jermaine...this is freaking pathetic.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 01:02 AM) Well, the benefit of Thome here is its unlikely he'll GIDP. I'll accept a K from him. I hate watching him against LHP. I'd rather see Lillibridge against LHP.

CQ is great with the full count

Big difference tonight is Toronto is putting every bad pitch in play, while we can't square it up.

Fields is just awful right now. Swinging and missing so many fastballs.

Excellent double for Anderson....missed a homer by inches.
