Correct me if I'm wrong, but Gardenhire has Santana lined up to face us twice in the next 2 weeks, doesn't he?

KW...there's still time left to try and get a legit LF off of the waiver wire.

Can we just pull that pathetic player off the field? I can't way until we trade him for a mid-level prospect this offseason.

Keep chasing ball four guys.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:52 AM) Ha, has Coop finally lost his perfect reputation or something? If the pitching is a barometer of how good he is as a coach, then he deserves a whole lot of blame this year. Every single returning pitcher is worse this year. This is the same guy that said as long as we're winning, you shouldn't be concerned about the starting pitcher.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:50 AM) WHEN YOU DROP YOUR ARM ANGLE, YOU TELL THE HITTERS A FORKBALL IS DEFINITELY NOT COMING. ^^^^^^^^^ QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:51 AM) The Royals are a AAA team for god's sake. Not even a GOOD AAA team and they are hammering count like it is batting practice. So how many effective starting pitchers do we have now? One? One? Who's that?

This is the worst 12 inning stretch of White Sox baseball I can remember in years.

Holy cow! What a f***ing joke. Keep smiling Cooper as your pitchers underachieve.

This is freaking pathetic. Contreras slider is a league average pitch, yet he continues to get beat on it. Meanwhile, he's thrown about 5 forkballs the entire night.

Even DJ is getting on Contreras for all of the different arm angles.

Did they ever show a replay of DeJesus' pop fly?

I love when Jose gets burned on his 3rd best pitch. It's like Garland on his changeup.

Sadly, you could see that coming a mile away. A bunt single, a pathetic defensive play, and the blast.

Pods is so worthless. That was just a shallow pop fly that he didn't bother to go after.

These guys better what the F up soon.

These home runs swings are getting really annoying.

AJP's bat speed is slowing down again. I'm sure he'll get the day off tomorrow.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) Our infield defense might be pretty bad if we have anybody besides PK at 1B. He saves so many badly thrown balls. Remember the week stretch when Gload was at first? He had more missed scoops in a week than PK has had all season.

Very nice play.

Let me ask this....are people still rooting for the Red Sox over the Tigers?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:26 AM) We have way too much trouble against the bottom feeders. If we played them like we're capable of playing, we'd be in first plae with a ridiculous record. We've had this problem for a long time it seems. The Royals gave us some heartbreaking losses in the 2nd half of last year. Nearly every game against them was a close game that either team had a realistic chance of winning.

Ugh...this guy has nothing! Any pitcher with a changeup gives us problems. Twins already off and running against the Indians in the first.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:19 AM) Reminder to Hawk. The the outfielder brings his glove up above his head and begins to slow down, yelling "stretch" is useless. It is going to be caught. It was obvious that ball would either be caught or a homer with how long it was in the air. That's the type of play where Iguchi could have got a better read on it and tagged up to get into scoring position.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:12 AM) Wow, can this even be considered the Sunday lineup? It's more like the leap-year lineup. I was thinking on the way home, when I heard about this lineup, how funny it was that we used to call Manuel "The Tinkerer".

1 fly ball to the outfield, 1 catch
