QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 13, 2007 -> 12:08 AM) What a mess of a defense. I despise our RF/2nd base on defense right now.

Good grief....get Iguchi out of there. This is what happens when you let a team stay in the game.

I really think Ozzie should try more hit-and-runs with our hitters in order to get them focused on making contact and focusing at the plate. Not sure how much longer Buehrle can keep them down with his bad command and this horrible ump.

This offense is so annoying to watch. I guess PK's not allowed to line the 2 strike offspeed pitch into right field this season.

Sweeney's swing definitely seemed longer and not smooth.

Buehrle's control is way off right now.

So freaking sick of Iguchi's at-bats. Erstad needs to hit that ball in the air there. It's too bad we couldn't take advantage of the Royals trying to let us blow them out.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ May 12, 2007 -> 10:00 PM) God the Phillies bullpen sucks Good thing they let Garcia start the 7th inning after giving up 100 hits in the 6th inning. I can't stand listening to Ron Santo. He's such a whiny b****...I hope that f***er never gets into the HOF.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 12, 2007 -> 06:27 AM) The approach from the whole team was probably the most pathetic I've seen all season. When Juan Uribe has the best approach at the plate -- he did a great job vs Odalis -- you know you have problems. BTW, Sweeney needs to be in there against lefties. That's the beauty of having Ryan on the team -- you don't need to platoon him. Sure, he's going to struggle a bit against lefties, but he still gives you a good approach and see some pitches. Ozzie has to stop this platoon s*** with every single prospect that comes through the system. He did it with Anderson, he's doing it with Sweeney. Yet he keeps putting Erstad out there, who's now 3-30 against LHP all year, and his only extra base hit was in his first AB of the season.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 12, 2007 -> 02:58 AM) Burke for Broadway. If they want Pods, they can have him too. Astros fans must think Pods is Babe Ruth.

Whew! Great pitching tonight. Our hitting and managing needs to pick up now though.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ May 12, 2007 -> 02:26 AM) OK Bobby.. Time to man up here. DON'T be predictable with the sequence, AJ.... Better hope he doesn't groove a first pitch, 93 mph fastball.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 12, 2007 -> 02:25 AM) Dye could not be screwing over this team any more than he currently has. And in about every conceivable way. His outfield speed is embarrassing, and his lack of offense is costing everyone from the team down to the money he'll receive next season. Hell, add in the fact if he doesn't rebound respectably (>.250avg, 70+rbis, 20+HRs) he'll cost the White Sox type A compensation. He may hurt his value midseason if the Sox are out of contention, as well. Talk about a worst case scenario with a player. This is it. He'll end up putting up some decent power numbers, but it would do us no good if it's late in the season and we're out of contention.

Best fastballs of the year by Thornton.

Nice urgency here in the 9th. Good thing that ball stayed in the park....didn't like the inside pitch selection to Grudz on a pitch he can turn on. QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 12, 2007 -> 02:22 AM) Thornton against Teahen....then Jenks versus Sweeney, HOPEFULLY. Teahen has had some good ABs vs Thornton in the past. Why not just bring in Jenks? Ozzie always tries to get cute vs the Royals, and they always hurt us cause of it.

Terrero looks like he has a piano on his back out there.

Our coaches are so f***ing dumb. You have got to be playing no doubles in that situation. FIRE OZZIE!

Jeez Ozzie, put Mackowiak in for defensive reasons in RF. Not a good turn of events there.

I just saw the worst slide of my life. All he had to do is a simple hook slide, and he's safe.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 12, 2007 -> 01:41 AM) What a f***ing pathetic performance from the offense. They simply can't get hits against LHP. Our average hit total against lefty starters must be around 4.

Nice time for good defensive positioning. No matter how tough of an out Grudz is, you couldn't let Teahen get up as the go-ahead run.

It's around this time in the game in recent year where the Royals seem like the '27 Yankees.

Right now, Dye's either hitting grounders to the left side or fly balls to the right side. We need him to get that reversed. It's too bad we couldn't get Terrero in with our best contact guy up against LHP.

What a dumbass idea by Ozuna. In that situation, you have to swing the freaking bat, especially if you have good speed.

Is that Angel Berroa out there? Get Terrero home.
