QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 01:58 AM) That wasn't even close. What the hell is DJ talking about- "NO?!!!?" ? Doesn't help that OC catches the ball 5 feet in front of the base. He's scared of the possible contact on the play.

This might be rock bottom for the offense. These players seem so uninterested in actually battling out there. Please have the lead going into the ASB.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 02:33 AM) Paulie is terrible. I'm one of his biggest fans, but his mechanics have been just terrible this season. He has no bat speed, and rarely hits the ball hard.

Why in the hell is he starting? Bat him 9th for now.

QUOTE (Hanky Panky @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 02:31 AM) Before I make a new thread, did I just hear on the Sports Night commercial that Ozzie said Barry Bonds has a shot with the Sox? Did anyone else hear that? I would guess Ozzie said he wouldn't be opposed to it. It will never happen though.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 02:28 AM) That's "one", not "some". I think he's just trying to say that this fantastic lineup would be even better with everyone healthy. Nothing inaccurate about that.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 02:26 AM) Why does DJ keep saying the Rangers are without some of their stars? Laird was hitting .306 before his injury but he's a .257 career hitter and Blalock got off the HGH 2 years ago. That Milton Bradley guy is pretty good.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 01:24 AM) If he runs hard at all, he gets a triple. And I'd argue relatively easily. He slow jogged it for 150 feet and walked it in the last 30. It's a 6 run game...not exactly a tie game leading off the 9th inning. I have no problem with him not pushing it and CQ not sliding. It's just one game, rather not see an injury.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 02:22 AM) Nice slide. Uhhhh....where's our on deck hitter telling him to get down? God I'm really starting to hate this guy. He was behind the plate doing his job.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 02:21 AM) A slide would of been nice. He would have been out by a mile. I have a bigger issue with Dye's weak pop ups tonight on 3-1 pitches.

Nice throw by Boggs...maybe DJ will shut up that we should be trying to move runners over when down 6 runs.

Two hard hit balls to start the inning. Carrasco retiring Hamilton was a very big play in this game.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 02:13 AM) 10 starts passed a while ago. Yep, have to get that ERA up to 5. Where's 29andpoplar been?

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 02:11 AM) Good thing we brought him in. After Hamilton hits, it'll be 10-0. It would be a step closer to me keeping my soxtalk membership after the season!

That's a real crisp 87 mph fastball Carrasco has....NOT!

Enjoy the all-star break Gavin. You've been tremendous so far this season.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 02:01 AM) The writing was on the wall for this game before the first pitch was even thrown. This Mendoza guy will shut us out (add him to the list of unknowns like De La Rosa, etc.), Floyd will get blown out and DJ Carrasco will make his first appearance tonight. I guarantee the Sox score a run tonight. Meanwhile, Joe Crede continues to suck at the game of baseball. He so does not deserve to make the All-star game.

Keep us in the game right here. If we can't score 5 runs tonight, we don't deserve to win anyways.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 02:01 AM) Oh boy, Carrasco up in the pen. This is going to be ugly. I'm excited, maybe he'll look good and be a contributor.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 02:00 AM) is gameday right, floyd's "fastball" is in the high 80s? Yes...a lot of these starters seem very fatigued. All the stressful innings might be taken their toll.

I hope Ozzie manipulates the rotation so Floyd doesn't face the Rangers next week.

Gavin's road ERA is going to be over 5 after this game. I'm really not looking forward to playing the Rangers 5 more times in the next 2 weeks.

4-0 on a just a pathetic 1-2 pitch. Nice effort tonight White Sox. Can it please rain tomorrow and Sunday?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 01:54 AM) He might not make it our of the 3rd. This is so predictable tonight...hopefully the rest of this weekend isn't as predictable. I'll be pleased if Sox are 1 1/2 games in first come the ASB.

2-0 Rangers. Another terrible route by Swisher, but I doubt it matters. Floyd's pitching like a pansy.
