I can't remember the last time I was so confident a White Sox player would reach base at the plate as I am with Quentin tonight.

Nice turn by Ramirez....I love having 2nd basemans who can throw hard on the double play.

Well, here goes the bad defensive effort behind Buehrle again. Should be a 5 run game or so...but Giants are right in this.

I don't get why we haven't tried more hit-and-runs or put runners in motion tonight. Especially with Ozuna at the plate and OC on base. Also, Dye's having just a terrible game. He's had quite a few opportunities to blow this game wide open.

BTW, give Quentin the 3-0 green light for the next 10 years.

OC's had a good game so far. Dye's looked brutal this series...he actually made Zito look good. I hate seeing all these runners left in scoring position so early.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ May 18, 2008 -> 01:20 AM) Zito looks pretty bad. His fastball is not fast. Hitters just have to stay back on his pitches. Ump has a small zone, which will hurt both starters.

Dunn's homer was so cheap

Run if you get on base...Zito is easy to steal again.

So far this year, us Cubs haters have to be thankful they didn't trade for Josh Hamilton or McLouth, two names they were connected to during the offseason.

I'm pretty sure McLouth has owned Marmol this season. I thought D. Lee's was gone, especially with his hop after he hit it.

Don't forget the "Rally Kiss"

WTF aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh Bixler...the same dumbass who forgot to run home earlier this year on a bunt where the Pirates would have beat the Cubs. Jack Wilson will be back off the DL soon, but that doesn't really help us much.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 17, 2008 -> 08:09 PM) its unreal to me...why do people not throw him breaking balls and let him get himself out Because the National Legue loves to piss us off.

STOP THROWING FASTBALLS TO SORIANO! The Cubs offense just keeps going and going.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 17, 2008 -> 07:31 PM) How does his pitch speed look? Last start he was hovering around 90, and had that moment where the trainer came out and looked at him 89-94...Pirates could have had a few more runs earlier in the game, but flew out to the fence.

Zambrano just completely blew up, starting after he broke his back over his knee after striking out. Here comes Wuertz...a reminder, don't swing if it gets to 3-2.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 17, 2008 -> 06:15 PM) Soriano is RIPPING the ball. He owns the Pirates, just like the Cubs.

Did Jason Bay drop a fly ball costing the Pirates a few runs? I missed the play.

I assume Toby will start, as AJP is awful in his career vs Zito.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 17, 2008 -> 04:49 AM) Durham was one of my favorite White Sox of all time. I really do miss him. I remember one of my 1st games where he was signing autographs above the dugout and he was having a conversation with all the fans. It was really great to see. I've always thought he'd end up back on the Sox. Great play by OC....thank you Ramirez!

Make him take it out to right field if he's going to hit a long ball. Aurilia is a dead pull hitter.

That change-up is ridiculous...ump missed it, as it was a strike.

Great sequence by Jenks.

Wow, Thome got a pitch to murder, and fouled it off.
