QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 01:10 AM) This is a guy we usually rock. But our guys are into lift and pull mode. Not only that, but Lee is getting squeezed.

Lefty pitchers are really kicking our ass now.

Ok...still in this game! Get us started Pablo.

2 out situation with RISP against someone that kills Buehrle. This is a huge batter in this game.

Anyone know what Sandy's CERA is this season with the Sox?

This game's close to getting out of hand. Ozuna needs to be playing closer. We need to pull him, before he becomes ANOTHER starter who gives up 5 runs in a game.

QUOTE(G&T @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 01:00 AM) BA is back in his slump. I think the league has adjusted back to him. He doesn't have a lot of authority in his swings anymore.

QUOTE(G&T @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 12:57 AM) Is Fields even up here, or is he still in Charlotte? I thought he was staying for the playoffs. He is still in Charlotte, but if Crede's going to miss a few days due to his back, he should be up with the big team. QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 12:58 AM) when u think about it though, with the exception of thome and gooch, the others arent really that good of hitters overall anyways. If it's possible, Brian Anderson has become an overrated .230 hitter. I'm still optimistic he'll turn into a good hitter, but he's hitting a very soft .230 this season.

Nice bat speed Sandy.

I've seen this offense about 80 pct of the time over the past two weeks. Lots of weakly hit fly balls.

Uribe just continues to have amazing at-bats. 23 games and counting until he's no longer with the White Sox.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 12:52 AM) This game is going as expected. Buehrle's getting rocked and the offense will likely have trouble scoring. All that stuff about us turning a corner yesterday was nonsense. Even though the Red Sox returned their main guys, I think it's safe to say they were quite rusty at the plate.

At least we have Freddy going tomorrow...he matches up great vs the Indians.

QUOTE(lord chas @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 12:49 AM) have our outfielders thrown anyone out at the plate yhis year? NO

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 12:48 AM) Well this game is not looking too good. Shouldn't be a surprise. The Indians have been playing so much better than the Sox recently.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 12:48 AM) BTW -- Where is Josh Fields when we need a right handed 3B?? We need a chance to win these games. Good call...this is an inexcusable lineup tonight.

Great throw by Mackowiak. Keep throwing meatballs though Buehrle. That rookie now has two, 2 out RBI against you.

Farmer and Singleton mentioned that Anderson misplayed Michaels single in the first inning. Could he have had that blooper?

Everything outside again for Buehrle.

Just got home to see that homer. Good thing Buehrle's sticking to the scouting report of keeping it inside on him. BTW, what's the stat again about our leadoff hitters in the first inning of the game?

80 runs for a leadoff hitter in the AL isn't exactly being a catalyst.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) Alright, No Hafner, and Victor is behind the dish. I say 3 SB's for Pablo... I would have liked to see Pods play, as funny as that sounds. It's ok though, I don't mind seeing Mackowiak over him (since we have to play a lefty in LF tonight).

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 03:52 AM) Ozzie says that Sweeney will start on Thurs night. Looks like another night off for Anderson, as I'd imagine Ozuna will be in LF. I guess Ozzie changed his mind.

Exhibit number 200 this season of why it's been inexcusable to not acquire another back-up righty outfielder.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 10:40 PM) Joe out with a bad back. That's not good. The news gets better though, as Hafner's expected back after missing the past few games. QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 10:43 PM) Ozuna, 3B; Iguchi, 2B; Dye, RF; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Mack, LF; Uribe, SS; BA, CF; Alomar, C. Buehrle on the mound. Mackowiak in LF against a lefty? That makes no sense. We might as well put Ozuna in LF, and Cintron at 3B. Nice to see Ozzie can't even keep his decisions straight, as he said Sweeney would be playing tonight. This is an awful lineup we have tonight.
