fathom

Very impressive AB by Teahen. You can't be walking batters with a 2 run lead. Is it me, or is Thornton's heater 4 mph slow? Also, ever since he started talking about how loaded our bullpen is, they've imploded.

Damn...nice pitch, good protection swing.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:30 AM) if he faced the Sox 162 times a year, he'd be a first ballot HOFer. For the record, I predicted when they signed him that he'd drive us nuts.

Teahen's been crushing high fastballs out over the plate. You have to have Thornton face him here, but I don't like the match-up.

That walk really put Thornton in a tough situation. Here comes KC's best hitter.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:27 AM) Bad call there, DeJesus went. We never, ever get the benefit of those calls.

Sure looked like he swung at that. You hate to see the walk in that situation. He went!

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:25 AM) They may have one player that would start on the Sox (Dejesus). They're terrible. Teahen's turning into a damn good player, and Grudz is always a very tough out.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:23 AM) The biggest Hulk Hogan moment for the Sox was Buehrle's 1st inning in Minnesota when he gave up 7 runs. They kept pounding him but at the end of the inning he stood up with his eyes wide open and you knew he couldn't lose. I've complained about the Sox scouting report on Reggie Sanders tonight, but how about the awful scouting report wrestlers have against Hogan? When his eyes start to open wide and he shakes his fist, don't go for the two punches to the face. Just once, I'd like to see someone kick him in the balls when he Hulks up.

QUOTE(SadChiSoxFanOptimist @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:02 AM) Don't forget self-righteous. Someday you'll grow up, young man. There's absolutely no reason for name calling, especially when we're supporting a White Sox player.

I just put on the Cubs game, and much to my surprise, I saw Luis Vizcaino throw a slider.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:19 AM) Liriano got scratched for the Twins tomorrow night. He has a sore elbow. He's another pansy like Mark Prior.

That a boy Sandy! Against a lefty, I actually have confidence he'll be able to find a hole in the outfield.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:18 AM) HULK HOGAN HULK HOGAN HULK HOGAN Sandy Alomar kinda reminds me of an aging wrestler.

Well done Cintron! I can't remember the last time we got a bunt hit.

Wow...some hard hit outs for us recently.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:16 AM) How about a steal Pods? Against the lefty, I'd rather see Crede try to hit another extra base rocket.

Ok...good job! MacDougal seems to induce a ton of grounders.

Why not try a pitch out there? They had to know he was going first pitch. Oh well...get the batter.

You can't walk him in that situation there. He's definitely going to be stealing here.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:08 AM) A lot. Oh ya...I was just laughing that his slider is the same speed as Politte's fastball.

MacDougal's slider reminds me of Politte's fastball....except MacDougal's pitch moves. QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:07 AM) Its started off like Buerhle was going to get hammered again tonight, but he really picked it up. Another start like tonight and he may be back to normal. His next start is against the Yankees.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:05 AM) It was the right move, given Buehrle's confidence level. Yep, you know I like the idea of bringing in the reliever to start the inning (especially against some righty power hitters here). QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:05 AM) They let you keep the front row chairs, they're big bucks, so better get something. I didn't have to pay, but those seats are 750 dollars.

Quick hook for Buehrle. You can't fault Ozzie for trying that.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:03 AM) Ya steal it? Nope, 3rd row seats for me at the event this year.
