QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:25 AM) Actually, I said this team needs to prove itself against good teams earlier in the week (even if they swept the O's & Royals). We're not really playing well, imo, the O's are just playing worse. Sure, we're not playing very well. However, if we have to count on beating the top teams to rack up our win total, we're going to be screwed. Every one of these wins counts right now.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:25 AM) I feel bad for the offense. They FINALLY light something up, and they still can't breathe. God DAMN our pitching is in the spiffter right now, worst in the entire league. 13 runs and we squeek out with a win. fishing christ. We won! Stop it.

YES!!! It wasn't pretty, but after watching four hours of this, thankfully it was a win.

Wow....where was that?

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:21 AM) I think already might be their worst win on the season, if there is such a thing. A win's a win...who cares. 2 days ago, you wouldn't have said this.

YES!!

It's a 3 run game....MORA'S RUN DOESN'T MATTER!

Why is Iguchi covering 2nd base? That's so stupid. This is some terrible IQ baseball we're seeing.

If the Sox were to lose this, it would be their worst loss of the season.

Bobby without his good fastball so far. QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) I don't have a good feeling about this, prove me wrong Jenks. Prove me wrong. I'll be shocked if he gets the first two guys out.

In a very similar situation against the Orioles this year, Jenks struggled against the hitters he's going to face this inning.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:16 AM) Carl walked 42 times last year... ...Jim Thome had 42 walks on June 1st. Well done

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:15 AM) Anything which prevents Ozzie from starting Mack in CF is a good thing. An outfield of Mack/Anderson/Dye would be our best in terms of offense and defense.

Some bad luck on that vicious rocket by Dye. It's ok though, we had two bloopers benefit us that inning. QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:14 AM) Why can't Mackowiak get at least a few starts out in LF this year? Just see how it works out. He can't POSSIBLY do worse than Pods does. Mackowiak is better in every single possible aspect right now.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:13 AM) Thome hitless yet 4 runs scored. Are you saying that Carl Everett could have never done that? Tigers up 6-0.

Excellent! 8 of our offensive hitters have had an excellent day today. Nice aggressiveness this inning.

Ah...the Pods special. Wraps up an absolutely pathetic game for him today.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:08 AM) ozzie and KW deserve credit for sticking with brian and I'm gonna give them both props right now to counter all the hate lately Good point Hey Pods...if it's a hit-and-run, and you have 3 balls, you don't have to swing at a pitch over your head.

Blah...you're swinging the bat well today, swing away Juan! Anderson gets his revenge with that blooper. Can Pods please do something useful?

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:01 AM) Double stupidity there, frankly. One, whoever called the slider in that situation. Two, MacDougal for agreeing with the call. The White Sox seem to have a bad habit of their pitchers getting beat on their 3rd or 4th best pitch and it has to stop. They need to go right at guys instead of throwing all kinds of pitches hoping these hitters will get themselves out. Be aggressive. From everything I've heard, if we're relying on MacDougal to show good decision making on the mound, we're going to be extremely disappointed. QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:03 AM) And why wouldn't they? Since when does 1 game change anything? It's soxtalk....don't you know that anyone can be DFA'd, and everyone is on the market.

What are MacDougal's career splits vs LH/RH?

Please don't let Roberts catch up to the high fastball.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:00 AM) I'm starting to think the tigers might be for real Starting?

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 11:59 PM) The pitching staff makes me cry ... They throw way too many poor pitches when they have 2 strikes.

Why do you speed up his bat? MacDougal's curve/slider is definitely not his best pitch. Time to bring Thornton in to face Roberts.
