QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 26, 2006 -> 02:07 PM) Fields will be converted to another position anyway, his fielding will never quite be major league quality from what I hear. Trading him away might be a mistake, as he is raking. And if you are going to trade him away, wait until this offseason where his value around the league as a prospet will likely be much higher than it is right now. My dream move this offseason is still Broadway, Fields, and 2 other good prospects for Miguel Cabrera.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 25, 2006 -> 09:08 PM) Winning run on 1st. With the Royals pen....this should read "temporary go-ahead".

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 25, 2006 -> 09:01 PM) Its hard to believe the White Sox blew a 6 run lead to the Royals. They are the most pathetic franchise in all of sports. They make the Blackhawks look good. That game would have been a Sox blow out if not for "The Adventures of Ozuna".

I know it's against the Royals, but I've been impressed with the Tigers mentality all year. You can tell that they expect to win, and Leyland's done a great job changing that environment.

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ May 25, 2006 -> 07:36 PM) Also of note, Lost is the best drama of tv by far, I love this show. I'm a fan of Lost. However, there's no doubt in my mind that the best drama I saw on television this season was Prison Break.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 25, 2006 -> 04:00 PM) That has been my observation as well. Get a few fastball foul balls, and Its basically a two pitch strikeout. You CANT hit his curve after seeing two fastballs. Which is also why we can't complain if someone eventually jumps on the first pitch fastball, and does a lot of damage against it. Right now, Jenks reminds me of K-Rod when he first came up. He's a strikeout waiting to happen.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 25, 2006 -> 03:47 PM) Mack got one and gave them one... By my count that makes the score 2-1, no? His leadoff double started the rally when we were down 1-0. He also had a two out RBI that gave us a huge insurance run. I'm also not ready to start blaming him for Dye dropping that ball. It was poor communication by two veterans, and we should just be thankful that we didn't blow the game because of it. Mackowiak's given us as much offensive contribution this week as Anderson has in a month.....his defense isn't great, but it's not nearly as bad as some of the Anderson lovers are trying to state it is. Good job by Ozzie of putting the best team on the field right now.

Without Mackowiak in the starting lineup last night, we don't win the game. And Dye's just as much to blame on the dropped fly ball as Mackowiak is. Also....anyone who thinks that Anderson would have gotten a hit off of Haren last night is nuts. Righties only had 1 hit last night against A's pitching.

Jenks has been most effective this year when he's been able to get two strikes on the hitter without throwing his big hook. He's been striking out a ton of hitters recently with that hook.

f*** YEAH! Absolutely nasty set of pitches by Jenks. Enjoy the day off tomorrow everyone....including you jphat.

QUOTE(daa84 @ May 25, 2006 -> 02:36 AM) jenks 1-0 pitch was 85...was that a cutter? The radar gun's all messed up. Drop the hook!!

Nasty hook there. One of his best ones of the season. Keep Kotsay in the park.

A strong storm is heading towards the city. Hopefully Jenks can hold them down, and the game will be over.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 25, 2006 -> 02:23 AM) Wow for anyone who says Ozzie doesn't care about sweeps Exhibit A is using 4 pitchers in the 8th inning there. I don't recall him ever using 4 in one inning. You know I'm a HUGE fan of that move. I was whining about it on Sunday, as I thought he should have been in to face Barrett. As long as the manager is going for it, I can't fault him. QUOTE(JimH @ May 25, 2006 -> 02:25 AM) Am I confused, who pitched to Chavez that inning? Boone Logan Big moment on ESPN

QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 25, 2006 -> 02:23 AM) When was the last time he hit a HR to right? Vs Kevin Gregg

Overlooked in the 8th inning was a great play by Ozuna.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ May 25, 2006 -> 02:20 AM) our long regional nightmare is over Huh?

QUOTE(SnB @ May 25, 2006 -> 02:20 AM) spin move style Is Todd Jones going to write an article telling Jenks to respect veteran players?

Nice pitch by Jenks. The hanging location actually helped him.

We need our defense to step up and make a big play. Throw the hook!

QUOTE(JimH @ May 25, 2006 -> 02:18 AM) Dye has to catch that ball, period. I would walk Kendall here. I'm hoping he walks him.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 25, 2006 -> 02:17 AM) What does an easy single look like? Sitting on the outside fastball, and just going with the pitch.

QUOTE(daa84 @ May 25, 2006 -> 02:16 AM) play the OF in.....kendall wont hit jenks over anyones head, and you gotta cut that runner on 2nd down on a base hit Absolutely. I was just going to type that. It's like when Jenks faced Vizcaino in game 2 of the WS last season.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ May 25, 2006 -> 02:16 AM) Pitch to Kendall here? There's a divot in right field from all his base hits. He had a very easy single vs Jenks on Monday night.

Hey Ozzie....while you're out there, put Anderson in the f***ing game. Jenks vs Kendall is a terrible match-up.
