The Sox have 4 guys in the lineup who I will be shocked if they get a hit today: OC, PK, Ramirez, and Floyd. Hopefully CQ or Crede can have a big night.

OC gets us off in fine fashion...striking out on a 58 foot slider. Any word on Uribe's injury?

He doesn't look comfortable on balls to his left. His dives in Seattle were very strange, almost like he was just flopping down.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 16, 2008 -> 06:44 PM) you know you suck when the opposing team's announcer claims that the loss of ryan doumit is "big loss" to your lineup after 2005 my hatred for the cubs certainly cooled, but i would say it took til about now for me to rebuild it...i just hate that organization and their fans so much to the point i cant even stomach listening to mark silverman (which is a real shame because i think tom waddle is the best radio personality in this town by far) I honestly heard a conversation on the radio today about whether or not Dempster or Lilly should pitch the 2nd game in the postseason.

The Cubs strength and conditioning coaches are amazing! Soto lost 30 pounds between 2006 and 2007, and now he has more power than ever and hit more homers in 2007 than he did in the 3 seasons before that combined. Now, Gallagher has lost about 20 pounds, and he's gained about 3 mph on his fastball.

Well, I don't hear Cubs fans b****ing about Soriano anymore.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 16, 2008 -> 06:48 AM) Jim Thome=Jerry Johnson Awesome stuff

The yoga/yoda moment was great. I thought Carrell was awesome tonight.

Awesome job by Jenks....thank you Thome!

QUOTE (rangercal @ May 16, 2008 -> 06:09 AM) classic hawk And his immediate reaction reflected he thought it was gone.

f***ing fantastic job to come back and get him. Please be careful with Vlad...throw that cutter off the plate.

That 1-0 pitch to Izturis was right down the plate. Now, Jenks is going to walk him, and he'll steal while Vlad is up.

Amazing how much better that hook looks when Jenks is throwing his fastball between 94 and 96 mph.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 16, 2008 -> 05:04 AM) Hawk has lost any ability to judge a fly ball. PK is too quick at the plate, as he's trying to cheat to avoid getting jammed. Thus, that's why he's just missing these pitches that normally would have been homers.

Think either Willits or Izturis will try to bunt with Jenks on the mound?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 16, 2008 -> 06:00 AM) THANK f***ING GOD FINALLY Thome comes through!! Get ready to get blasted for saying you hate this team.

Thome!!!!! Way to shut us up.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 16, 2008 -> 04:59 AM) I hate this team. I know what you mean. They find ways to just piss you off so much.

And Dye pops up a massive hanger.

Huge call there by the ump on 2-1.

Damn, another foot, and that's off the wall.

Angels really should walk CQ.

What speed by the #2 hitter! Ozuna really should go in to run for him.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 16, 2008 -> 05:51 AM) Nice job Dotel, GET A RUN PLEASE. I want to see Thome bat vs K-rod. I think he might go up there guessing first pitch offspeed pitch.

QUOTE (rangercal @ May 16, 2008 -> 05:51 AM) regardless, http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/fieldi...umn=fieldingPct Like I said, the fielding stats for him are worthless due to the official scoring luck he's had.
