QUOTE(stretchstretch @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 02:37 AM) ABSOLUTELY........a brawl tomorrow would do wonders. Padilla plunks AJ, we clear benches and put some kind of life into this lifeless, fightless, offense of ours.......stop focusing on not losing and start focusing on attacking And AJP gets suspended for 7 games, and the hitless wonder has to start a week's worth of games.

QUOTE(chisox72 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 03:46 AM) ^^^^^^^^^^ I could not agree with you more. The move to bring him in, then, made no sense to me whatsoever. It was one of those moments where I think Guillen lost his mind. Some of the worst games that Guillen has managed in his career is against Showalter. We've struggled in close games vs them the last few years, as it becomes a strategy game in the late innings.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 03:38 AM) This was my 26th(maybe 27th) game this season, and it was the 1st time I really showed my displeasure. I got on Podsednik hard after that K, and got into it with a Podsedniks slurper behind me. Thats really not me, but things just boiled over tonight. That wasn't Pods fault...he should have never been up in that situation. Have we won with the new filters?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 03:33 AM) It's getting really scary for me, because tonight Im not really upset, even after I was at the game tonight. It's almost like I have come to expect this the last two weeks, which makes me pissed. Yeah, usually my blood pressure rises and I get all pissed when we lose. The second Kinsler walked, I think the whole stadium knew we were done. Think on the bright side....we still lead the wild card.

Any clue what's going on with Fields?

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 03:10 AM) blame it on the announcers? It's sad that a slump is what it took to make Hawk and DJ into better announcers. DJ has been absolutely fantastic recently.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 02:20 AM) We lost today because we couldnt hit a crappy pitcher who walked the world and was begging for a beating. I love it when our O goes into forget hitting line drives, lets go for the fishing fence everytime. Enough with the popups. If a pitch is on the outside corner, dont fishing pull it. For the love of god, actually go with the pitch. Don't worry...we face a pitcher tomorrow who destroyed us by throwing only to the outside corner last time we faced him.

I would love an explanation for the lack of velocity by so many of our pitchers.

THIS TEAM NEEDS OFFENSE!! Please don't say you think the pitching staff will revert back to their norm, and then say you think the offense will keep up their first half performance.

Please start winning White Sox. No amount of venting will change the outcome.

When you treat Mathews Jr. like Babe Ruth, and Kinsler like Ted Williams, you deserve to lose.

What do you know, first pitch swinging again.

How about our first walk-off homer of the year?

I'm actually impressed by the lack of gloom and doom in here. Good job tonight my fellow posters.

QUOTE(gettysburg32 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 02:13 AM) AJ looks like he's gonna fishing destroy the locker room after this one It would be the only thing he's hit all week.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 02:12 AM) Why are we sending gload. It's so dumb. Iguchi never hits as well with a runner in motion.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 02:12 AM) What can you do? We can't do anything right. Our hitters aren't capitalizing on good pitches to hit, and every decision the opposition makes it paying off. As you said, this is a massive slump.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 02:11 AM) Smart baserunning by Gload, and nice hit by Pods. Just good defense by Kinsler. PK's homerun and Uribe's double top it Forgot Uribe's double. Ok, 3rd.

Good swing, bad result. Probably the 2nd hardest hit ball we've had tonight.

Those are hangers Scott. SWING THE BAT!

Pods needs to pull one of those sliders over the RF fence.

Wow...great hustle by Gload.

From my calculations, we have 4 runs in our last 5 games without the use of a homer.

Great job bench....please keep up your amazing contributions of late.

Anyone have a stop watch to time how quickly this thread will be locked after the game tonight?
