QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 13, 2007 -> 07:42 PM) Yes you are. The Royals suck and the Sox are hurting. Any chance Zambrano doesn't dominate us next week? I really don't like how we match up with the Cubs right now.

So I guess Soriano, Lilly, Marquis, and Meche all were great signings this offseason?

If there was ever a player the Sox called up that I thought could hit .000 over a 2 month span, it was definitely Molina. What a f***ing joke. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 13, 2007 -> 07:42 PM) Yes you are. The Royals suck and the Sox are hurting. I meant with the Sox guys out....basically, the lineups we see out there today.

Am I being overly negative when I say the Royals have just as much talent in their lineup as the Sox do? I'm so disappointed in KW for not doing more to help this offense.

So not only is Vazquez's fastball down 3 mph, he has no command of it. What in the f*** is going on with the velocity? Buehrle now throws just as fast as Vazquez and Contreras.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 13, 2007 -> 07:34 PM) Game. Worst series win I've ever experienced. The Yankees are going to outscore us 30-2 this week. And our recent wins have definitely made everyone's job safe sadly.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ May 13, 2007 -> 07:33 PM) Way to go Javy....looking REAL sharp today. Funny thing is we have no one warming up either.

Well, that was bound to happen. Good thing Ozzie went out to talk to him. We suck (and I still despise the Chris Young trade!).

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 13, 2007 -> 07:26 PM) Tadahito may well be pricing himself right back into something the White Sox could afford. We need to go in a new direction....especially with someone who's not a joke vs LHP.

Javy continues to leave everything up, and the Royals are about to get the lead back. One of my biggest pet peeves during the Ozzie era is how flat we seem to come out the next game after a dramatic win the night before.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 13, 2007 -> 07:25 PM) I really can't figure out how the offense has taken such a dive between this year and last. It happened during the entire 2nd half of last season. We're relying on a bunch of older players to match their totals from the previous years. From the sound of it, I'll be surprised if Thome is 100 pct the rest of this season for an extended period.

Well, not a promising start to this inning.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 13, 2007 -> 07:22 PM) But LOOK at his splits in Charlotte... Minor league stats don't mean s***....I've heard horror stories about the caliber of talent in the IL this year.

I'm sure our lineup wouldn't look any better if we could play Iguchi at 2nd today, and DH Perez.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 13, 2007 -> 07:18 PM) I don't think Iguchi is worth the $5mil he will ask for after the season. First, he'll ask for more. Second, I want nothing to do with him. His overall skills have diminished a ton. It looks like he needs a cut-off man on his double play throws.

Sweeney chased ball four, and then weakly popped out. He looks pretty s***ty against LHP. Iguchi is such a rally killer though....I honestly would love to see Andy Gonzalez play a game or two.

Good grief, get him out of the freaking lineup. He has to be one of the worst overall players in baseball this year.

Good job by Crede...even though that 2-2 was a strike.

Way to work the count Pablo

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 13, 2007 -> 06:55 PM) Vazquez has no command of anything today. This game is teetering on the brink of bad. It's like before the 4th inning of yesterday. Does it matter though....one run might be enough to beat us. I can't stand watching this f***ing offense. Think of it this way....you have two guys in Terrero and Molina who have no business being in the majors, a rookie in Sweeney who doesn't look comfortable vs LHP, two slumping power hitters in Konerko and Dye, two players in Crede/Iguchi who all they can do it hit pop ups to the right side, and a guy in Ozuna who has an OPS around .500 over the last 100 games or so. We need Uribe to hit two solo homers I guess.

I wonder if DJ and Hawk ever get sick of making excuses for our hitters? Gotta learn to foul those pitches off Sweeney. Wait, no hits thru the first 3 innings? This is shocking how consistent it is.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 13, 2007 -> 06:47 PM) Lefties hit De La Rosa better than righties, yet our brilliant lineup is righty dominant. Maybe looking at splits might be something the whitesox front office might want to take a look at. Sometimes stats dont lie. Who were we going to have play? Erstad is worse than NL pitchers against LHP. AJP is the only guy who really should be in there, but we'd rather let Molina embarrass himself at the plate more.

Huge batter in this game here....hopefully Chuck Garfein was wrong in the pregame about Gload beating us once this year with his bat.

This might be the worst fastball I've ever seen Vazquez have. QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 13, 2007 -> 06:43 PM) What the f*** goes on in the White Sox front office? b****ing about the rising cost of salaries. QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 13, 2007 -> 06:42 PM) As good as Ozuna was the first half last year, he now has managed a .505 OPS. That's pretty hard to do, unless you're Cintron, Molina or Anderson. Yeah, Ozuna looks awful. He was so good at the start of last year, but he's been horrible since.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 13, 2007 -> 06:38 PM) This is a semi-serious question. Do we ever get hits in the first 9 innings? Fixed
