QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:08 AM) Nick is getting squeezed like an orange. He'll be fine....he has similar stuff to Jenks (you know, besides good velocity and a sharp offspeed pitch).

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:08 AM) Nick is getting squeezed like an orange. Were you watching last night on a liner hit to center where Hawk went nuts about how great a read Erstad got on the play, and he ended up almost having to make a basket catch in front of him due to over running it?

Aardsma's warming up now? GMAFB

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:05 AM) Mop-Up Masset is in. Ozzie always does this s***....if we're losing by 1 run late in the game, it's like he gives up with who he brings in from the pen.

Why did we bring in our worst reliever?

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:01 AM) Wow. I am actually going to cry when Sweeney is sent down. Did you see his foul off of that 2-2 pitch? He won't get sent down. If for some fluke reason he is, I'm sure there'll be another injury shortly that would get him back up. I might as well turn the channel when Dye, Iguchi, and Crede are up. At least with PK, I hope they might show a replay of his 2005 WS grand slam or something. Ugh, where's Aardsma?

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 13, 2007 -> 12:59 AM) Do we have any second basemen in our minors that can hit and field? No, the offensive prospects in our minor league system have to be one of the 5 worst in all of baseball. Years of not developing offensive talent has finally caught up to us.

That kid is great at taking pitches.

Just stop playing Iguchi. He looks like a f***ing idiot on those inside fastballs this year.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 13, 2007 -> 12:54 AM) ok guys, you criticize ozzie for moves that don't work give him credit for making the right move with Buehrle starting the 6th Those are the same situations where our pitchers have gotten burned....even though it worked, I hate the call. It's just like how he made the right move to bring in MacDougal on Tues night, it's just the results were bad. No sane person criticized him for bringing him in that night.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 13, 2007 -> 12:51 AM) Erstad sucks. Quit making crap up. It was a weak grounder hit to the SS. There's two camps now: those that think he just had one real bad stretch, but he's great.....or those that think he sucks, and just had one hot stretch.

Wow, nice 3-2 pitch selection. That has to be it for Buehrle now. He had nothing tonight, but it was just that one bad inning.

I don't like Buehrle facing Buck here, as Buck's launched two homers off of him this year.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 13, 2007 -> 12:49 AM) dude, anderson isn't coming back. he sucks You're fighting with the wrong person. I don't want Anderson back up at all.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 13, 2007 -> 12:47 AM) we need these innings out of Buehrle. not a good criticism of Guillen IMO We've had a lot of days off recently, including this coming Monday. We could afford to use our bullpen tonight.

Who gives a s*** about the streak....get Buehrle out of there.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 13, 2007 -> 12:45 AM) LOL, it wasn't badly hit. You have to be kidding me. It was a perfect double play ball. Erstad couldn't have made it any easier for their defense. Yep, it was basically the one place he couldn't afford to hit it. QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 13, 2007 -> 12:46 AM) mack has more value for this team than he would bring in a trade As what?

I wonder how long Ozzie will leave Buehrle out there to die. Greinke in the pen sucks for us....he makes us look silly sometimes.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 13, 2007 -> 12:43 AM) Traded? Who in their right minds who trade for either of those guys? We'd be lucky to get a High-A 39 year old for either of them. Mackowiak has some value.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 13, 2007 -> 12:43 AM) 3 left stranded meh, we ain't exaclty gonna get something good for Cintron or Mack I don't care if we get a bag of peanuts in return....we need to open up a spot on the roster, and both those guys are worthless.

Buehrle needs to shut them down this inning as we get into their pen. One run is hard enough for this team to get without a homer or an error.

Wow, a grounder by Mackowiak. I'm stunned. Either him or Cintron needs to be traded.

Fantastic base running by AJ! Here comes the man with the worst mechanics at the plate.

Thome's not supposed to be back for at least a week.

Is Sweeney the only person who can lay off a 3 ball count in order to walk? Uribe chased ball 4.
