QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:45 AM) They hit our pitcher, they score, we hit theirs, get thrown out. Go figure. I hate when Hawk starts going down that path. Mauer's was an absolute rocket that hit Richard in the ankle. Ramirez's was solidly hit, but got Perkins higher up on the body. Richard's lucky he didn't break his ankle.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:40 AM) He doesnt have enough secondary stuff. Second and thirs time through the order, his fastball starts to look BP-like. He has a future in the pen, nothing more IMO. Sounds a lot like Poreda

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:44 AM) I predict use getting 0 more hits this game. Shut up

Oh great, a moral victory of an out for Konerko.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:41 AM) He looked good until the 5th in his second ever ML start. He threw a few bad pitches with a catcher behind the dish that even you said is calling bad pitches. What is Buehrle's excuse for last night? They both sucked...this series is just so reminiscint of every important game we've played at Minnesota in the last 5 years or so.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:38 AM) My hats off to Richard tonight. He fared better than Mark did yesterday at least. Bulls***...he didn't even get past the 5th inning and blew a 4 run lead.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:38 AM) That's too obvious. I really question our catchers back there sometimes. Check out the runs allowed in Toby's starts in the last 10 games or so he's caught. He's absolutely atrocious back there.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:37 AM) That was hit hard, but Dye needs to catch that. Unless he was playing on the track, he had no chance. For the life of me, I can't believe we had Thornton warming up and didn't bring him in.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:36 AM) Yup, nobody's surprised, just feeling sick about now. Cmon youngster! Richard needs more seasoning in the minors. He has great command on his fastball, but his slider is absolutely horrific.

Who in the hell calls for a change-up from a LHP to a lefty hitter?

Nice f***ing managing Ozzie. Way to leave the kid out there to die.

QUOTE (stretchstretch @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:32 AM) and that's how it starts every freakin time with these guys in the trampolinedome That's a play that Anderson should have made given his abilities.

Time to pull Richard, especially with Thornton warming up.

Words can't describe how big this at bat with Mauer is here.

What a meltdown by Richard here. Some simply terrible pitch calling by Toby. Richard's slider is mediocre at best, and he calls for two straight sliders.

And some more terrible defense by the White Sox.

And here we go.

Ugh, that was a freaking bloop.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:18 AM) BA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! move him to CF and Swish to 1b I think we'll be seeing that starting tomorrow.

Anderson!

Heck yeah, great job Richard.

How can you continue to play someone who has absolutely no confidence? Big out for Richard here.

OMG, just sit Konerko's ass on the bench right this f***ing second.

Great spot on that 0-2 by Richard.

Second time around, Richard's going to have to mix in some offspeed pitches. Another double play would be nice.
