Good job by Contreras tonight...still not sure how he retires big league hitters. Unfortunately, Ozzie left him in one batter too long.

If AJP isn't lazy, that's a force out at 2nd base.

Pretty bad effort by AJ to block that. Good grief....get Contreras out of the freaking game.

Cabrera is much more dangerous against righties. Better make some good pitches.

Ok good...now get in the lefty to prevent the steal.

Nice to know Thornton's warming up....I hope there's a reason he's not in the game now.

Pull Contreras now! That walk is going to turn into a double quickly. Where is Matt Thornton or Boone Logan?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 02:09 AM) They're injured enough to play, have egos and the truth is -- what options do we have for most of these guys? Well, if they're not going to say they're injured, then Ozzie needs to be able to figure that out. How many times have we heard Ozzie say that a player hasn't told them that they were injured? It's happened too much.

Please...please...please....end the Cintron experience!

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 02:14 AM) Didn't help himself by getting in a hole by going up there trying to bunt. Don't get me started on that.

Wow, can't hit the ball much harder than that.

He seems to get so antsy when he gets called up. You could tell how little confidence he had, as he was looking at the 3rd base coach for signs prior to the 2-2 pitch.

I'll be so happy if he just makes contact.

I really hate the idea of bunting here.

That was a beautiful swing by AJ. If we're bunting here, it better be perfect. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 02:07 AM) I would be shockingly happy with that. I was being serious in a good way.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 02:06 AM) Lefties are actually hitting .333 off of Myers this season according to Gameday. Which is of course...taunting me tonight, so that could be slightly off. Yeah, didn't know that. I had heard that his splits were big this year, so I figured it was the other way around.

Do what you do best, and hit into a 4-6-3.

It's real simple....if players are injured to the point that they're playing at 60 pct, then put them on the DL. Iguchi should have been on the DL already this year, and I have no clue why Cintron isn't on the DL either. If these players aren't communicating with Ozzie that they're injured, then we have a problem there also.

If they're bringing in the lefty here, Ozzie should let Hall bat.

PK finally sits on the curve, and hits a rocket. That was some nasty defense by Matsui.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:57 AM) The question is, how does trading Haeger, Floyd, Phillips, McCullough or Broadway net us even a MLB quality starter in the OF, SS, 2B or catcher? We won't even be able to trade any of these picks for at least a year...if we wanted to, and we can't really go out and trade Gio, Russell, Masset and De Los Santos, so what's left to trade? Why can't we trade Gio, Russell, Masset, and DLS? Those guys are not even close to being sure-fire MLB pitchers. If you can get an everyday player for them, you have to consider dealing them.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:55 AM) The philosophy of pitching is fine, but to take no position prospects today when that is a HUGE need for us, ugh. I have a bigger issue with the fact we didn't get any offensive talent in the Garcia trade. It pains me to see how well Taveras is hitting this year. QUOTE(TheOcho @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:56 AM) What is with all that crap on the field? How dare you refer to our team as crap.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:52 AM) where is the pitching in the system? wasn't he on the projection board with andersen and sweeney? I think KW is the only person associated with baseball who thinks Owens should be playing in the majors. I've never heard anything positive from scouts about him.

Why are people so quick to dismiss that Ozzie is failing to motivate these players?

Super....3/4 of the way to a terrible baseball day.
