More terrible defense by AJ, as a good throw gets him easily.

Good job of rebounding....but let that drop!

Ha...MacDougal in to face a lefty? Good grief! Does Ozzie know we have 3 lefties in the bullpen? MacDougal sucks vs lefties. Crawford is better against righties, and lefties have a 3.38 WHIP against MacDougal.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 26, 2007 -> 02:11 AM) It's nothing personal. I like the way he plays. He's one of the few that hustles. But I really don't like him. Seems like a good guy, though. I like him a lot....but he can't be playing every day. We need a new LF!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 26, 2007 -> 02:10 AM) That's two different things. Buehrle threw two fastballs inside with the intent of hitting Harris. That's a little different than hanging a breaking/offspeed pitch. If Buehrle meant to hit Harris, then he got what he deserved. I also think Buehrle thought he'd be coming out after that batter, so he wanted to get his retaliation in before he left.

These are games you simply can't lose. Does anyone know how many games we've lost this year when leading going into the 7th inning?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 26, 2007 -> 02:05 AM) Then he has way too good of control to hang that change to Dukes. I don't think that was intentional, and I have no problem with Buehrle staying in with two outs. Buehrle's thrown tons of high change-ups all game. What he hasn't done is nearly hit anyone with two inside fastballs like he did with Harris.

Crede's actually had 4 pretty good swings tonight.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 26, 2007 -> 02:04 AM) Oh it was definitely intentional. First pitch waaaaay inside followed by an AJ mound visit followed by a pitch right on Harris' hip. I'm sorry, Buehrle has too good of control for that not to have been intentional. What type of idiot, be it Ozzie or AJ or Buehrle, calls for that there?

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 26, 2007 -> 02:03 AM) Who should he have gone too, Aardsma or MacDougal? Both those guys have been absolutely terrible recently. I still have faith in MacDougal, but that's because I don't know how people hit him.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 26, 2007 -> 02:02 AM) I doubt that was Ozzie's call. He understands that Dukes is a good hitter, I'm sure, and he doesn't like to walk people to bring the tying run up, let alone hit someone to bring it up. I think you're overreacting. If that was Buehrle or AJ's call, then that's even dumber. There's no doubt in my mind it was intentional.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ May 26, 2007 -> 02:01 AM) Ozzie never leaves pitchers in too long (see almost every loss). Buehrle was struggling almost every inning with his command. You have a righty in the bullpen who doesn't give up many homers against a guy who hits lefties better than righties. I missed the homer, as I was coming on to this site to say it's a good move that Ozzie went out to pull Buehrle.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ May 26, 2007 -> 02:00 AM) here we go again Even you said it was intentional.

Seriously, who in their right f***ing mind hits a guy to put the tying run up to the plate?

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ May 26, 2007 -> 01:59 AM) Yea that HBP was intentional!! And Poof Tie Game Elijah Duke hits almost .50 points higher against lefties.

Unbelievable....nice that we left in Buehrle one hitter too long. Hitting Harris was definitley intentional. f*** you Ozzie!

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 26, 2007 -> 01:55 AM) Mark can finish ip this inning, then grab a sammich or something and shower. nah I think both Terrero and Harris were hit on purpose.

That sure looked intentional. If it was, then that's a dumb f***ing decision.

Way to break out of that slump Iguchi! Interesting how we've hurt teams in this last week after they "accidentally" hit one of our players.

No reason to reliate to that yet.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ May 26, 2007 -> 01:34 AM) He caught it in great position, but a decent slide would have helped. We just don't have a lot of agile guys. Thome's slide I can understand.....I'll never understand the pathetic effort that Ozuna had on that one slide though.

Buehrle really made some nice pitches those last two batters. Something that's interesting is how much we shade Delmon Young up the middle (2nd base), even though he seems to do a lot of damage to the right side.

Huge batter in this game....Delmon's made us his b**** early in his career. Keep trying to pick off Crawford.

You could sense this coming after that bulls*** last inning. Do we teach our guys to just slide right into the catcher?

Can't be walking him in that situation.
