CNN seems to think it's going to be a double digit win now. If the Sox go on to lose, this was quite a s***ty night.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 04:01 AM) after Joba doesn't throw a strike to Quentin, and then walks crede with the bases loaded...first pitch hacking at breaking ball, granted he hung it a bit, but WTF juan I'm happy he swung, it's the worst pitch Chamberlain might throw all year. It's just too bad Uribe was trying to go profoundo.

QUOTE (Fotop @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 04:01 AM) Man, it would have been nice to have someone to PH for Uribe...too bad our bench options in that situation weren't much better. At least we have Pablo and Ramirez on the bench!

QUOTE (DBAH0 @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 03:58 AM) Quentin had a .896 OPS against righties before this game. Why would you pinch hit for him? It wasn't for CQ, it was for that guy batting in the 9th spot.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 04:00 AM) Wow, Juan doesn't dissapoint His double earlier guaranteed another month of this disaster.

Can Toby ph for Uribe? Nice AB by Crede.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 02:57 AM) Dam how many we gonna leave on base? If Crede makes an out, that will be 9 left in scoring position.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 02:57 AM) Nice call ump. It was the right call

Horrible AB by Quentin. Didn't even make him throw a strike.

Times like this I really wish we had a lefty PH on the bench.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 02:53 AM) that'd be boone. He needs to get confidence in that slider again.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 02:51 AM) MacDougal hasn't been as bad as some are stereotyping him to be. When does he pass Dotel? It will never happen. Ozzie really needs to start using Thornton more. It's very possible he's our 2nd best reliever.

And here comes Chamberlain.

Giambi should have made that play.

JD seems to be very upright at the plate. He's not reaching that low pitch.

QUOTE (DonnyDevito @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 02:46 AM) When the White Sox don't play the Tigers, what are they....500? That's the key. The tigers were TERRIBLE early on and we got them 6 times. That's why this is a big stretch of games here. We'll see what kind of team the White Sox are when they're not beating up on the toothless tigers. Our starting pitching has been excellent though. That alone is reason to be optimistic.

Up to 10 pct.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 02:44 AM) Dotel didn't do a horrible job, he got a rightie to K And then allowed a grand slam. I'm sure you have higher expectations than that.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 02:42 AM) God, i'm in a sky is falling mode right now, I can't believe how poorly that inning was handled The first really bad job of handling his pitchers this season. I'll take that if it's once every 20 games. Sooner than later, he'll learn that Dotel is all reputation right now.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 03:39 AM) I'm kinda glad our lineup is loaded with fastball hitters. I actually would like to see our chances vs. Joba. I'd rather see Farnsworth

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 02:37 AM) That one is on Ozzie but whats pathetic is how many are calling this a loss already . Since when are games 6 1/2 innings long ? Joba and Rivera = tough team to comeback against

QUOTE (frankie5angels @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 02:37 AM) If Ozzie was gonna bring in Dotel, he should have just let him start the inning. I don't think I would have kept Jose in there for the seventh. i was questioning why he didn't bring in Dotel in the 7th. It's Contreras....he has the longest leash in baseball.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 03:35 AM) all yankee games seem so long... It's called taking pitches throughout your entire lineup (and not just half of your hitters).

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 02:31 AM) didn't dotel give up a granny in CLE? 3 run game winning double. He might have the slowest fastball out of anyone in our bullpen.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 03:29 AM) I guess Ozzie was too lazy to make another walk to the mound for a pitching change. Way to earn your salary Dotel. Dotel is terrible. He's lost 5 mph off of his fastball and has very little in terms of offspeed stuff. And now he brings in Thornton. You suck Ozzie!
