Sheffield makes Danks high fastball look like a slow pitch softball.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 01:40 AM) we can hit verlander but not this retard/reject. I have a feeling this lineup wouldn't touch Verlander. With Iguchi swinging the bat poorly, it makes half the order a relatively easy out.

Unreal....nice effort so far.

Get well soon Jim and Jermaine. QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 01:37 AM) God these are terrible at bats. Reminds me of the first game of the Rangers series.

This guy has some of the worst stuff in all of baseball. How are we not hitting him?

Good grief....why are we swinging at so many first pitches? I'm stunned that this offense is struggling.

Good sequence to Pudge there.

Nice change-up by Danks there.

Have they given any update on Dye, and how long he's expected to be out?

QUOTE(Wanne @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 01:23 AM) seriously. I can't remember when he's had a money hit. But he does such a great job of giving up outs to the right side.

Absolutely horrible AB by Iguchi. Had a lot of great pitches to hit. He's looked awful the last two games.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 01:17 AM) Which comments? He's always contradicted himself several times this year. How it's tough to expect Anderson to do well playing once every 10 days or so.

Rocket by Anderson, bad luck.

What's the chances that Ozzie hypocrites himself later in the season with those comments he made?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 01:11 AM) Are you watching the game this inning? He's keeping stuff down, especially his breaking ball. Nice inning there. He threw a lot of high stuff to Thames and Ordonez. It's irritating to see Thames whiff on these offspeed pitches after we challenged him on Sunday.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 01:10 AM) if AJ holds on to that ball its a strike For some reason, he decides to drop about 4 pitches per game.

Danks is throwing everything up, including his offspeed stuff. Won't be long before some of these end up in the seats. We need to keep this close, in case we get Erstad up with men on base. BTW, how sad is it that I have more confidence in Erstad tonight than half our lineup?

Hawk teasing us with our first Dick Williams reference of the night.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 01:05 AM) More of the fact that we have one horrible outfielder and one average outfielder playing over one of the best outfielders in the game. I want Anderson in the field, but he's nowhere near one of the best outfielders in the game.

Can we please find a new left fielder? Why can't Pods just undergo season-ending surgery!

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 01:03 AM) It's too much to say we need a new manager, but there is absolutely no excuse to not have Anderson in the field. I have a feeling you might be adding a date to your sig today. I don't think it matters tonight. This Tigers lineup is so much better than ours is, even with some guys struggling.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 01:01 AM) Nice hustle AJ. That happens.....not a big deal. Grandma Erstad can't even judge a fly ball that's 30 feet foul. QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 01:02 AM) everyone do the rain dance, my god. More like do a healing dance for Thome and Dye, because this team sucks without them. It's Konerko, Crede, Iguchi, AJP, Uribe, and a bunch of bench players.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 12:57 AM) Every fastball Danks throws is thigh high. He has to get that ball down. I hope they teach him a cutter or a sinker. QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 12:58 AM) Remember when Ozzie Guillen thought Ozuna (hahah), Mackowiak (HAHAHAHAHHA), and Grinderstad (OMFG HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH) were better than Anderson in the OF? Rofl, I REALLY, REALLY want a new manager. ANYONE at this point. A little overreaction about having a new manager, but it's sad that we could even question if he thinks those guys are better outfielders. Like someone mentioned earlier, it gives us no defensive flexibility if we needed it late in the game.

Danks has pitched much better than his ERA indicates. However, with the likelihood of struggles when the ball starts jumping, he has his work cut out for him to have a respectable ERA this year.

Don't look at what Danks ERA is for the season. It's higher than I even thought. QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 12:52 AM) I've grown really tired of Hawk and DJ's complete lack of objective baseball analysis. It's like story-time with Uncle Hawk, who has gone a little senile. Please refer to Hawk as Grandma Erstad from now on.
