QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:28 PM) We should bump some threads from a couple of weeks ago when people argued we didn't need pitching help because the offense would carry us. We'll see what happens when our 3-4-5 guys go on a slump. Like I've said all wknd, I would love for us to get Soriano or Andruw Jones. BTW, for the Anderson lovers, I'm very optimistic about his at-bats recently.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:27 PM) Freddy still in. Interesting. You know, maybe the reason that the velocity is down for the starters is the insane amount of innings/pitches they throw? With an off day tomorrow, there's no reason to keep Garcia in the game.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:26 PM) Fields pulled from the Charlotte game for a pinch runner. Wonder if he was traded.... Knowing how this wknd is going, we can probably assume an injury.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:26 PM) Just not a good weekend for the 3-4-5. What can you do. Go get em either in the 9th or tomorrow. They haven't had a series like this all year. Not much you can do about it. Yep, I'm not about ready to throw our 3-4-5 under the bus though. They've carried this offense all season.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:25 PM) Teams that rely so much on their offense are usually dissappointed when the season is over. Personally, I'm not expecting Dye to continue to put up the amazing numbers he has all season. Also, I'm really worried about Konerko's approach at the plate. If our 3-4-5 continue to struggle the next 2 weeks, we're going to be in a lot of trouble in regards to making the playoffs.

Some more station-to-station baseball that inning. We so deserve to lose this game.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:23 PM) How many batters have we seen this weekend put there head down after there swing? 10, 15? Such a terrible vibe this wknd. BTW, great managing by Torre this inning.

Another absolutely pathetic at-bat by Konerko. Where is the f***ing bat speed?

If Pods/Iguchi can get a big jump, they should absolutely try to steal.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:19 PM) Wow. I can't believe you just posted that. In reality, I think Ozuna would have had a better chance to contribute against Myers than Thome would have. However, no manager in history would make such a move.

Yuck. Just one of those weekends.

Keep this in mind.....we always come back on Sundays when trailing.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) If JI JIM Ks I will be one unhappy cookie. The chances of a K vs Myers are quite high. He needs to try and go to left field with the pitch.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:14 PM) On a positive note, noodle-arm Podsednik having some nice ABs today. It would be very nice if he could get things going again, as I have a feeling that Dye's going to slump to start the 2nd half. And once again, thanks Joey!

When do the inter league games start in the 2nd half of the year???

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:12 PM) I hope for the love of God he's getting ready to take Freddy's spot. That'd meam he'd throw tomorrow, most likely, because it'd be 5 days before Freddy's next start. It's mainly me hoping. You know that would make my year, but there's not a chance in hell we're moving Garcia from the rotation (unless he's traded). I have a feeling that the trade winds is going to have some XBox style rumors tomorrow.

QUOTE(SoxnGiants @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:09 PM) I don't mind Freddy still in if it means Brandon will start in 6 days. But the likely scenario is that Freddy will just pitch well enough this inning to make Ozzie think he's turned it around - only to get shelled in the 1st next outing When it was 6-2, I wouldn't have shed a tear if the Yankees hit a 3 run homer.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 06:52 PM) I'd kill to see something like this on the wire tonight White Sox | Garcia Traded Sun, 16 Jul 2006 06:05:41 -0700 ESPN Radio and The Associated Press report the Chicago White Sox traded P Freddy Garcia and to the [iNSERT TEAM NAME] in exchange for P [iNSERT PLAYER NAME] and [POS] [iNSERT PLAYER NAME]. At this point, I'd settle for Garcia getting placed on the DL, and McCarthy taking his spot in the rotation.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:04 PM) Hmm....still interesting that Mac isn't warming. It would be just our luck that we trade McCarthy for Gordon.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:03 PM) We don't deserve to win this game with this embarassing showing. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:03 PM) I call bulls***. I can remember Konerko throwing out Pierre offhand, and I believe there are a couple more. He's referring to our outfielders, and he's absolutely correct. Our outfielders haven't directly thrown out a runner at home this season.

Thankfully, Garcia is still in the game.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) What has Rock done to deserve your hate? I don't know if he deserves criticism for this, but our base running has sure sucked this season.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 07:00 PM) I wonder if it's possible for me to hate the entire White Sox coaching staff. They've absolutely sucked this wknd.

When you're down by 3 in the late innings, you can't risk the rather obvious out at home. What a disaster of a series this continues to be.
