National League Central continues to show how bad it is....besides whoever plays the Sox, of course.

McCarthy looks really good so far tonight.

Speaking of the Padres...Khalil Greene was someone that I was hoping we'd trade for last offseason, in exchange for Crede. He'd be a monster outside of PetCo.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 11:27 PM) Oh come on, what about Milwaukee? That team started their fade sooner than I even expected. They've gone from like 14 above .500 to 5 above in no time.

QUOTE(max power @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 11:24 PM) The cubs are looking pretty damn good to me right now. That team's going to win the NL Central by 7 games. All of the guys they've spent money on have been decent, and their call-ups in Marshall and Pie are looking like damn solid major league players. This baseball season was a nightmare from literally the first batter of the season.

Cubs about to score more runs against Tim Hudson through 3 batters than we had all day. I hate this baseball season!

QUOTE(Linnwood @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 11:09 PM) Yeah, heaven forbid we have players showing frustration with how awful the offense has been. We need to get rid of those players... My comment had a lot more to do with the way he's handled the Toby Hall situation, as well as him and Buehrle not getting along. I give more credit to AJ than any other player for our 2005 season. However, you just want to make sure that he gets his focus back.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 11:07 PM) Those weren't straight fastballs from Jenks, they were that cutter-type pitch that moves down-and-in. Last outing against New York he was hitting a legit 96 on the gun -- that's probably the last thing you should be worried about at this point. Boone Logan rocks, and nice game for Fields today. I now await the Jermaine Dye or Mark Buehrle trade. This team is losing games to bad teams in the NL Central. Time to throw in the towel, although I know the Sox can't really afford to white flag it so early in the season. There were a couple of straight fastballs to Carlos that were 92 or 93 mph. I'm more concerned about Jenks in terms of injury, not his production. Like you said, there's about 30 other members of this organization that are bigger question marks than him. QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 11:07 PM) We need another outfielder who can be a defensive replacement for Dye late in games. He was bad as it is, now it's worse with his injury. Andy Gonzalez isn't an outfielder though.

We've scored 3 or less in 10 of our last 11 games.

Now I'm concerned about the velocity for Jenks. His pitch speed was way down today. He shouldn't be sitting in the 91-92 mph range. Also....what is the point of having Gonzalez on the bench? He might be the most useless roster member we've ever had.

When you have a bullpen that can't get anyone out, why do you play for the tie?

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 10:51 PM) Throwing helmet back towards ump = completey retarded. He got what was coming to him, especially AFTER b****ing and slamming the bat. AJP's acting like an asshole right now. You almost have to wonder if his time with this team is coming to an end also.

Yep....we suck! Stupid decision to bunt with Terrero, but I don't blame Ozzie for this game. We're the worst team in baseball right now, and no one seems to care.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 10:55 PM) why give up an out...we need like 6 outs an inning for a run Especially after the guy had thrown 4 straight balls. I'm not sure if Ozzie realized the Astros scored in the top of the inning. I'm guessing a hard grounder to second.

Terrero and Fields.....sadly, it's two guys I think have the best chance at a walkoff homer.

I can't wait to see Uribe get to leadoff this inning. Nothing like having such a bad bench, you can't ph for one of the worst hitters in all of baseball.

QUOTE(max power @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 10:38 PM) So you blame AJ? Not sure who's calling his pitches. AJP is a bad defensive catcher though.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 10:46 PM) Can't see the game, but maybe the TV gun is bad. He was hitting 95 the past week or so. The TV gun has been accurate all day, in regards to how fast guys normally throw. You can also tell how these guys have no problem making contact with his fastball.

Well, we just suck right now. 92 mph fastballs with no movement isn't going to get the job done. QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 10:47 PM) I hate how any single to Dye makes it 1st and 3rd. I hate Jermaine Dye playing for the Sox.

Pretty sick piece of hitting by Loretta. Again, what in the world is going on with his velocity? Stupid pitch calling there, as you can remember how good he is on those pitches.

91 mph fastballs by Jenks so far. What is going on with his velocity? You'd think he'd be fresh.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 10:40 PM) 3-1 count is usually the best hitters count. with 3 balls, the pitcher obviously doesnt want to walk the guy, it forces him to throw a strike Don't quit your day job.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 10:39 PM) way to swing at a 2-0 count JD! / Are you serious?

Good grief Jermaine....that fastball was right down the plate. Dye has such a massive uppercut....he's not even hitting the ball hard.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jun 9, 2007 -> 10:36 PM) Toby? Nah....AJ's been decent against lefties this year, and Miller is a lot worse than Qualls, who would have been in to face Hall.
