Walk McLouth...this team lost it's "it" factor at home.

Get someone up in the pen.....this is a debacle.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 01:45 AM) Dead arm period? Definitely seems so....Ozzie's going to have to find a way to cut down on these huge inning totals the guys are putting up. Javy has completely s*** the bed this inning.

Pathetic by Javy so far. Pirates have tied the game up, and Vazquez is going to give up a lot more tonight.

That Crede at bat really looms large, as we had the chance to blow this game wide open. Now, Pirates are in good position to tie the game up again.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 12:39 AM) Doumit works a long walk and Suddenly Javy's control is weak... Javy's got nothing tonight. This is the 3rd straight game where he's had mediocre offspeed stuff.

Ugh, wish we could have broke the game wide open.

Joe needs to avoid anything on the ground here.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 12:26 AM) Dye comes through, doubles in 2 runs. 2nd and 3rd, 1 out. So Dye's really played in 31 straight games?

That a boy Jermaine! I think Hawk way too busy getting ready to compliment Jason Michaels, as he seemed shocked that fell for a hit.

Thome finally lays off that 3-2 offspeed pitch. Jermaine needs to avoid anything on the ground here.

SSI's nightmare pitcher. Sliders low and away to our righties.

Ball seems to be jumping, as AJP almost got that out of here.

Why is OC taking a protect swing on the first pitch?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 01:13 AM) 9 pitches, 7 strikes, 2 balls, 3 outs. What type of velocity does Gameday show for Vazquez last inning? WCIU's gun had his fastball at 85 mph.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 12:50 AM) What is with that Gay glove dance Dempster does from the windup, its girls-softball like. And since when does he throw 95? Dempster's batting average against is ridiculous this season. He has been one of the top 10 pitchers in all of baseball this season, and he's shown no signs of slowing down. If anything, his stuff is getting better.

The Jason Michaels love shown by Hawk tonight is going to be nauseating.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 12:30 AM) But they won't have Nady for the series against us, correct? Didn't know he's out for the series, that would be nice. I saw where Bay isn't playing tonight.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 12:01 AM) With the beating the cubs have put on the Pirates this year, I expect us to do the same. Pirates didn't have Jack Wilson for any of those games, and Doumit was out for 6 as well. Where's Bixler!

Snell's a RHP

Let's hope Ozzie goes with Anderson in CF and Ramirez at 2B.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 10:37 PM) What happens when Konerko comes back? I think Lofton makes more sense seeing as he's going to be much cheaper. When PK comes back, then you have a super-utility player in Ramirez. Don't forget we'll likely have an opening at SS next season.

Trade for Brian Roberts, and move Ramirez to CF.

Ozzie's already said Thome's back won't allow him to play first base.

QUOTE (29andPoplar @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 04:00 PM) We covered this Sat. night while listening to "Shanty". I am not looking forward to it either. I hate these series, I hate all the back-and-forth with the loudmouth Cub fans and it has started already. It is like a pack mentality with those people, they are like sheep bleating and bleating. Unless Williams has a trade up his sleeve, then he needs to bite the bullet and sign the guy he wants. It's painfully obvious, especially after this weekend's games. I agree, I hate the series more than anyone. If someone would tell me the Sox win 2 out of 6, I'd say fine and not watch the games at all. I really am not looking forward to all the offspeed pitches we miss against Dempster. Also, it will be interesting if Danks can last 5 innings with the patient Cubs offense.
