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

This is so freaking embarrassing. It's really a good thing we didn't keep Eduardo Perez on the roster. QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 13, 2007 -> 06:36 PM) This offense has no bite I have a feeling our winning ways lately have masked all these issues in the front office, and no chances are even being considered. It's fascinating though to see De La Rosa keep everything down, and Vazquez throwing everything up.

Everything by Javy is up and away. His fastball's also clocking in at a weak 89 mph. He's not sharp at all.

Some more great at-bats by our offense. Ozuna's swing is so messed up right now....you can tell on his follow-thru that he's using all arms, and isn't getting his body into the swing at all.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 13, 2007 -> 04:22 PM) Would you accept a .000 batting average if it came with a quality start from the pitcher? That would be kinda funny if Molina went the entire season without a hit. Yes....an offense should be able to get more than 3 runs even in the NL (which is what Molina is, the pitcher hitting). Ozuna's at DH, Sweeney's in CF batting 7th.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 13, 2007 -> 04:01 PM) Thome isnt going to be back for awhile, his swings were called "tentative" I'll be pleasantly stunned if he plays 2 consecutive games during the month of May. QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 13, 2007 -> 04:01 PM) Sweeney: .276 .364 4 walks 3 k's How many pitches per at bat does this kid see? Its unreal that he is already that developed in the judgement dept. Sweeney's going to strike out looking on occasion due to taking so many close pitches. That's fine, as long as he doesn't pull a Pods and let it happen seemingly every other game. I was so impressed with his ability to lay off two, 3-2 offspeed pitches in the dirt last night.

Gustavo with another chance to get his first hit....and it might be his last chance. My predicted lineup is: Ozuna, Uribe, Dye, Konerko, Crede, Iguchi, Terrero, Gonzalez, Molina

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 13, 2007 -> 04:07 AM) I'd love Grudz and Eckstein. Grudz Eckstein Erstad Mmhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I would have to mute my TV forever if we got Eckstein. Hawk's love affair for him would make Erstad resemble Brian Anderson.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 13, 2007 -> 04:17 AM) I think Cintron's struggles and this bereavement list stuff are not a coincidence, his mind is elsewhere. Take care of your mind Alex and get back here as focused as possible. I think the offseason surgery has had a huge impact on his strength.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 13, 2007 -> 02:35 AM) That's one of the stupidest things I've heard all year. I'm surprised at you. Andy Gonzalez over Iguchi? Please. Tadahito has been garbage but let's not go nuts. I didn't mean for the season....just for this game on Sunday vs a lefty.

Great base running by Terrero, as the pitcher almost caught that.

Whew! End this freaking game.

Pitch outs are overrated.... you have to know the Royals know how long it takes him to deliver to the plate.

Ugh, MacDougal continues to look awful.

Anyone find it weird on Uribe's double how they never showed Erstad? For a second, I was worried that he thought it was a homer and didn't keep running hard. Hawk's reaction was so strange.

Fantastic control of the offspeed stuff by Sisco tonight.

AJP with way too long of a swing.

Wow, he missed by inches. Great swing Juan!

Juan...just flip one over the right field fence.

Where was this strike zone the whole game?

Another productive game for Iguchi. He can't leave soon enough.
