QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 04:16 AM) Sorry to pop in with a negative thought but it is late and I'm the only one awake. Scott Podsednik is terrible. That's all. Don't worry...he'll be gone soon enough, and LF is a very easy position to find someone good. Just think how crappy it is to be an Astros fan, as they must think he's their version of Mike Sweeney. QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 04:17 AM) It's my way of saying that I think Hawk is an ignorant douche (see: Wimpy, "Hose," the-same-damn-calls). He's not ignorant...just senile.

Have we swung and missed a strike 3 fastball all night?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 04:15 AM) A couple of notes on the broadcast: I wish Contreras would tell Hawk not to display such cultural ignorance by calling him "Hose". His name isn't Hose, and "Hose" isn't a proper pronunciation. I crack a smile everytime they call Jose a young man. After what we heard last inning, I think this is the least of the "cultural ignorance" issues that Hawk has.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 04:15 AM) I was kinda going for the type of swing style that cabrera just did there looked alot like Most of our players since the break. Silly me.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 04:12 AM) Haha, I've seen that swing before Huh? He actually flew out to center late in the game a lot vs the Sox in the ALCS.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 04:12 AM) Great job Jose. Great game. I have a feeling that Jenks isn't healthy, so Ozzie might let Contreras face Vlad, then have Thornton face Anderson, and then bring in MacDougal.

Yikes...I thought that was hit better.

Wow...that was real close. Biggest pitch of the game here. QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 04:11 AM) Ozzie watched the DVD again, and McDougal wasnt on it. He saw great things from Cotts and Hermy.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 04:10 AM) Wouldn't it be awesome if Hermie can bounce back, and be 05 pre-back problems again? I like to live in the real world.

Odd time for Hawk to start talking about Latin hitting styles. What is Ozzie going to do if Cabrera gets on?

Why isn't MacDougal warming up?

Wow...that's not the guy you want to walk.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 04:06 AM) You have to be s***ting me, Hermanson shouldn't come into a game unless we are up by at least 5 runs. Was he warming up? I think Ozzie just likes to do it raise our blood pressure. No walks!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 04:03 AM) Too much to ask. Amazing that he's hit (or had hit afte rthat AB) .300 with RISP this year. It's like he's the opposite of last year. Yep, I was thinking that also. I still find it hillarious how I always complained about how much he sucked with the bases loaded, and then he hit a slam at the only game I've gone to this year.

Wow...what a terrible player. He just does nothing at all productivity far too often. Ozzie...there's only one other guy in the lineup you can ph for, and that's Uribe. Use your bench better down the stretch late in the games!

It would be quite lovely if Pods can find a way to get Uribe in. QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 03:59 AM) Hopefully we go with Macdougal in the bottom half. I'd rather see Thornton after Napoli bats. Why not have Gload bat for Pods here? We have the depth on the bench now, and can just put Anderson in CF, and Mackowiak in LF?

Well...it's a good thing we had one good inning.

What a terrible call.

Kennedy's always been a tough out in situations like this. Whew!!!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 03:48 AM) Well that certainly is interesting. How far back do we need to be with Detroit coming in next week? It'd be really sweet if we could stay around 2 or 3 back. I think we might sweep that series. That's one I feel really good about. If we can be 4 games back, I'll be happy. This week is such a tough test though. Oh boy...Uribe played that into a much tougher play. This has a terrible vibe right now.

Contreras is about 3 mph slower now than he was earlier.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 03:46 AM) Me either. At least we know Mac and thornton are available. And Jenks has shaved his head and eye brows.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 03:44 AM) I don't understand why pitchers would ever bother throwing most White Sox hitters strikes. Especially on a 3-2 pitch. I would never, ever throw them a fastball. Thornton should start warming up for Chone.

Yikes...the Angels have all sorts of momentum right now.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 03:42 AM) Trying to pull the curve, K. Walk is back in the dugout. We just have to hope that the one inning is enough.
