QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:54 PM) The last 4 are good at home, below average on the road. Baker's ERA is 4.14 on the road and Perkins is 4.17 on the road....that's way above average on the road.

Twins are winning 1-0, as B. Harris has been an extra base god lately.

I refuse to believe OC hit another pop up with a runner on base.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:51 PM) The scary thing is the end of what you said. It would be one thing if the injuries were what were clearly hurting us, such as if we were just having issues with Clayton Richard, 3rd base, and the 8th inning exclusively. The problem is, we're having issues in every facet of the game from every angle except offense. Thus, even though getting healthy will help us if it happens, it might not be enough. Isn't our strength of schedule much more difficult than the Twins? Hopefully the Twins suck on the road.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:49 PM) Of course, Liriano has a no-hitter through 3 innings, although he has had to use 53 pitches so far...the only hope for us is getting into that Twins' bullpen in the 6th and 7th. I'm sure Matt Ginter will keep the shutout going for the Indians. Liriano, Blackburn, Perkins, Slowey, and Baker is a very good starting rotation.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) because our drafting and player development is simply horrible, among the worst in baseball. Check out the power numbers on our 2nd pick this year....ouch

This team flat out sucks right now with all the injuries and fading pitching staff.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) That error may have bitten Richard, but Gload would not have been out if we got Olivo ... the score would just be 4-0 instead ... but yeah Richard was hyped up a bit too much ... i think we did the Olympic team a favor by taking him off their roster Hyped by who?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) 11.81 ERA Why can't we EVER seem to produce a decent starting pitcher??? It seems that we should be able to find a starting pitcher more than once a decade (Mark Buehrle). Because the pitchers in our minor league system have terrible stuff?

Will Ozzie treat this like yesterday and pull some of our starters?

Screw you KW, screw you Ozzie, and screw you Richard.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:40 PM) My suggestion to Ozzie Guillen, and mind you it's only a suggestion, is to yank Richard now and use the heck out of the bullpen, which has a day off tomorrow to rest up Screw that, we're not going to score 3 runs against Greinke on the road, so let Richard save this bullpen.

I think we're now seeing why Richard really isn't a prospect. Can we just send him to China for the Olympics?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:38 PM) This team is a goddamn joke lately. and yet some people on here question why posters make statements that this team doesn't deserve to be in 1st place anymore.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:37 PM) I know Olivo is fast for a catcher but how can you let him steal 3rd? cause Richard is a f***ing dumbass

Pull this pussy off the f***ing field.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) Richard is leaving the ball up in the zone -- and he is about to pay the price. our farm system is a total embarrassment Hey, at least we got another outfielder at the deadline instead of actually acquiring a pitcher. It's the 2nd inning, and this game is over.

Another just awful offspeed pitch by Richard. What a joke, time for Richard to go back to the minors.

Richard can't come close to throwing his secondary stuff for a strike.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:30 PM) Ozzie is an idiot, it's just that simple. He's managed this team about as bad as anyone could in a pennant race. I could name about 5 or 6 things he's done, as i'm sure anyone else on this board could as well, that were terrible decisions 2006 all over again

5-35 in his career against Greinke now.

Hey Ozzie...thanks again for playing Konerko against Greinke.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:20 PM) You know, his stats haven't been the greatest, but I don't really think Clayton's been pitching too horribly. He's done a good job of keeping the ball in the park so far. I agree, he has really good control of his fastball it seems. He just needs to work on his seconday stuff.

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) Don't like what I'm seeing so far... Some really bulls*** umpiring the Sox have had lately.

Liriano strikes out 2 in the first inning.
