Hawk wants Erstad's booty....treasure, of course. Oh boy, someone forgot how many outs there are.

0-2 pitch right down the plate....lucky he fouled it off.

He was effectively wild on that pitch. He's got to make a few good pitches here. A double play would be quite lovely.

Good grief, that's a strike!

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 06:52 PM) ok, fathom first guess the move Ozzie will give him every chance to get the win, which is fine. Does it even matter? This is what happens when you shut down after 3 innings.

Danks is throwing batting practice up to the plate. He's missed his spot on about 60 pct of his pitches today.

And here we go. Unfortunately, you could see this coming a mile away.

Wow, that looked like strike 3. One pitch away from a ton of trouble. He has little control of his offspeed stuff today.

Lots of trouble brewing if Danks can't retire the 8-9 hitters here.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 06:43 PM) 4-0 cubs, derosa just hit a grand slam. all the fans are pumped, but they dont realize, or maybe they do, that they wont win this game. @$$holes or that they're facing someone right out of the minors, since Smoltz can't pitch today.

This is one of those games where it feels we're just waiting for the opposition to make a comeback.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 06:41 PM) This is it folks. One of our aneimic three is going to get a hit this inning. Thome get a hit against a lefty pitcher? Ha!

Very nice turn there. Phillips actually showed much more speed that I thought he had.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 06:33 PM) If we only socre three runs and Danks does not pitch a complete game or eight innings, I have bad news for you all. We will not win this game. I don't think we win with just 3 runs today. Danks isn't going longer than 6 innings today.

5 strike outs looking out of our 11 outs today.

Can we get to 0 for 54? That would be impressive!

Good time to throw his best pitches of the game to Wells and Glaus.

Got the change-up is a great spot there. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 06:14 PM) Even if he didn't swing, he made no movement at all to get out of the way. When a pitch is that far inside, you don't have to. It was close, and I don't blame Ozzie for getting ejected in terms of just showing his frustration. I just don't want to hear Hawk complain about it all game. Don't give in on the 3-1 pitch!

That's not a swing...it was the follow-thru after being hit. Nice to see both managers of Chicago getting ejected when the umps make the right call. Danks is playing with fire today though.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 06:08 PM) Random note: Josh Fields with the day off today. Does it mean he's one of the changes tomorrow? No, but I can dream right. We're fortunate that didn't get out of here, and darn almost had him at 2nd. I think it's very possible he'll get called up, probably replacing Gonzalez. I'd like to see him get the start against Igawa tomorrow.

Danks has to keep the ball down. Toronto's had some huge swings on his offspeed pitches so far today.

Wow, another pop up to the right side.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 06:00 PM) I got a phone call and missed Thome's homer. Nice to see he went yard, was it a classic Thome shot? Not really....it wasn't the typical low fastball that he drops the barrel on. It was more up, but it sounded very good. Made it a few rows up, probably 380 feet.

Remember when Crede used to drive the ball with authority to right center? That's what he's been missing this year.

Some positive news for me to post: the Sox will miss Oswalt next weekend.
