A rocket by Uribe. Keep it going Pods.

Ha...at least Uribe had a plan.

Nicely done Ozzie and Mackowiak. Might we see a squeeze here?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 03:18 AM) Take a f***ing pitch, AJ. AJP and Crede are picking up where they left off last year. Good eye by Cintron....let's try a hit-and-run here.

Are the Sox averaging about 2 hits in the first 5 innings of their last 5 games?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 03:05 AM) I hope taking the bat out of Thome's hand for a pointless SB doesn't come back to hurt the Sox. I hope it wasn't Ozzie's call to send Pods in that situation. I'd like to see Pods be more aggressive before there gets to be 2 outs in the inning.

Good grief, 5 righty hitters, 5 strike outs.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 03:04 AM) 2 strikes, slider low and away. How is this a mystery now. It's like our hitters don't know he has a slider.

PK is thinking too much up there.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:59 AM) Or are the Twins that bad. Getting shut down by Pavano took a little luster off of Danks' performance. Twins offense looked horrible over the weekend. Besides for their big 3, the rest of the guys had horrible approaches. T. Hunter had a horrific series vs the Sox. I'm happy with what we saw by Danks, but he's going to face a different caliber of monster this wknd. Erstad better be sitting tomorrow.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:57 AM) Funny how people would take Crede over A-Rod supposedly over clutchness yet the day A-Rod hits a walk-off Grandslam, Crede pops up with the bases loaded in the 8th. I really thought we were going to trade Buehrle and Crede for ARod this last offseason.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:56 AM) Is that as hard for you to say as it is for me? Seriously though, Pods is the only one with any type approach right now at the plate, lets hope he can get on, steal 2nd, advance to 3rd on a sac, and score on another sac!! Nah, it's easier to handle Pods this year. If he's good, then that's fantastic. If he struggles a lot, I'm confident we'd make a change.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:55 AM) Maybe the offense will be better after seeing this guy once. Just need to show some patience. Can't be swinging at that first pitch sinker that's low. He's not going to strike out these lefties.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:54 AM) Jason Kendall was a KW target before the 2005 season. Thank God Billy Beane won that auction and AJ fell into KW's lap. The offseason prior to 2005 was magical in terms of who we got as Plan B. If not, we'd have a battery of Clement and Kendall.

Get us going Pods!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:52 AM) The bum A-Rod has 6 homers and 15 RBI already. How many guys don't want him on the White Sox? I'm so thankful the Cubs didn't make a run for him at SS.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:51 AM) At this exact same point last night we were losing to them 1-0 and had exactly 1 hit in the first 3 innings. LOL. Let's hope your predictions end up like the last few days. ? All I'm saying is that it's just a matter of time before someone tees off on a hanging offspeed pitch.

Not the last double play Stewart will hit in. If he's healthy, Stewart and Piazza vs Konerko and Dye would be a great battle in terms of GIDP.

Ugh....Garland's been getting away with so much. Just a matter of time.

Wicked nasty = hanging high slider over the middle of the plate? So far, our three righty hitters have all struck out.

This is pathetic. So I guess three of our hitters went up looking first pitch sinker at their ankles.

Cintron looks really bad at the plate this year, including in Spring Training.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:42 AM) Our team can only go up in O, we are currently hitting .235 as a team right now. I'm not one for excuses, but we have faced 3 of the best pitchers in baseball so far this year already.

Good catch Rob!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:36 AM) I love it when a not so talented 2 pitch former reliever shut down your powerful offense. Its flashbacks of Julian Tavarez shutting us down with crap stuff. Just have to hope our pitching can carry us while our hitters get their swings shortened.
