fathom

Terrero showing some big time power since he's been up. Might as well keep putting him out there.

I'd like to thank KW for all he did to improve us against LHP. What's the point of having Toby Hall on the roster if Ozzie's going to let AJ decided when he plays, etc. Does anyone know what our record is against LHP this year?

Something definitely seems wrong with Contreras this inning. He has no life on his pitches. QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 28, 2007 -> 06:49 PM) Another f***ing ouch run. f*** this Does it even matter today? Good thing we didn't play Saturday night.

Looking forward to the next 2 hours of Hawk b****ing about the umps. The ump does suck....so Ozzie might want to get off of his ass now.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 28, 2007 -> 06:44 PM) God, I wish we had a catcher that could throw. He's such a bad catcher.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 28, 2007 -> 06:42 PM) well, atleast we can have a "ozzie calls for another beanball" thread Nah, that one obviously wasn't intentional. However, I can't fathom how anyone didn't think the Tampa one was intentional.

Well, that sucks. At least Hawk can fellate the piranhas now.

Contreras looks like he might be hurt. He seems to be laboring after each pitch, and he keeps trying to stretch out.

I always say this: games against Santana are the only games that we play in which I feel like we have no chance to win.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 28, 2007 -> 06:28 PM) I'm stoked to see Day up here. He's got major league stuff, but I'm not sure if he has major league command yet. Sounds like he'll fit in with our bullpen perfectly. Ozzie needs to make sure he only faces righties.

Some good movement on the fastball by Contreras.

Well, this is off to a great start. I have no clue why we even show up when we face Santana.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 28, 2007 -> 06:22 PM) he hits santana better than just about anyone on our team Yeah, I have no problem with him playing today. It's more against the rest of the lefties we face. He's around .140 against lefties since the ASB last year.

Super....more minor league talent on the big league roster!

I wish we'd have the balls to platoon Thome, as he's so mediocre against LHP.

Oh goodie!!!! A 27 year old pitcher in AA with an ERA of 3.60 and a WHIP around 1.5. I wonder if his slider will be compared to the great curveball of Arnie Munoz?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 28, 2007 -> 03:16 AM) Borrowing a line from Jerry Reinsorf, anyone who thinks this Sox team can catch Cleveland is crazy. I think they have a shot at Detroit and the WC. If KW wants to finish ahead of Cleveland, he's going to have to get rid of some of the "depth" he thinks he has in the minor leagues. The bullpen needs to be fixed, and they have to get someone who can run a little and get on base. Those two offenses hit the ball so hard. It was a pleasure seeing good quality at-bats throughout that series.

I'd take him in a second for a deal around Gordon, Tyrus, and the 9 pick.

Wilson is a very good ph who would provide the best power option against LHP off the bench we've had in forever. However, he might swing and miss at more pitches than any hitter I've seen in a long time. With that in mind though, I still like this signing a lot.

I don't like Craig Wilson, but I like this type of thinking. He's also someone who can catch if necessary, which might give Ozzie some more flexibility.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ May 27, 2007 -> 11:30 PM) Can somebody give me the lowdown on Prinz? What's his story, what does he throw and what can we expect from him? He's from the south suburbs. Righty reliever who throws from the side. If used properly, could be solid. I have no idea how hard he throws now though.

I think it will definitely be Prinz, and it sounds like Gonzalez as well. No need for too many lefties in the bullpen.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 27, 2007 -> 10:47 PM) Do we STRETCH!!! him out? or keep him in relief? Relief....I can't fathom how he'll ever be able to get thru 3 innings with the amount of pitches he throws. I'd rather he focus on trying to throw 98 mph again.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 27, 2007 -> 10:46 PM) Certainly, and considering the people we have up to make big money or become free agents in the next couple of years, things aren't getting any better in that regard. I wasn't worried about the 2008 and 2009 seasons going into the offseason. I think everyone on here knows that the window with the Konerko, Buehrle, Crede, Garland core was closing after 2007. Our division is just too loaded for the next few years to think we won't have to rebuild and not be a WS contender for a few years.

QUOTE(BearSox @ May 27, 2007 -> 10:28 PM) I disagree with no. 2. The home run to Pena was a high fly ball that carried. It wasn't hit that well at all. Take away that, and Mack giving up that triple, Vazquez has a very good day. Vazquez has to play the conditions though. If the wind is blowing out that much, then he needs to keep the ball down. He was throwing everything up in the zone today though, and the 6th inning comeback started because of walking Greg Norton to leadoff the inning.
