fathom

I never thought I'd see the day where Jeter is asked to bunt, and Anderson isn't.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 06:14 PM) Dammit BA> Need a productive out there with Moose on the mound. Yep....it's amazing the slack he's given by some fans. If Mackowiak cost us a run by misplaying a fly ball, and then had a pathetic AB that probably cost us a run, people would be going nuts about how Anderson needs to play every day.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 06:10 PM) Farmer thinks Iguchi is still bothered by the sore ankle. He looks like he has no base in that ankle when he swings.

Keep swinging at balls, and taking strikes guys!

Pods gets bailed out by the umpire, and still can't contribute. QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 06:07 PM) I love me some station to station offense!! :headshake It's sickening how much we've become station-to-station.

Good AB

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 06:01 PM) I am hoping that we trade for some bullpen help and ship Garcia and his dead arm somewhere in the NL. I think bmac is the kind of kick our rotation needs. I still think we need to add a top-notch outfielder to play LF or CF, but I no that's likely not going to happen. As you said yesterday, I don't want us tipping our hat in the 2nd half of the season every time we face Liriano or Santana.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 05:56 PM) I can't see the game except for on Gameday, how's Mark looking? He's up in the zone with everything. The disturbing thing is that Mussina looks fantastic.

QUOTE(TheHolyBovine @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 05:56 PM) As I said earlier, outside of Jose, our pitchers look like they're having arm problems. Velocity is down across the board. Well, our starters also throw as many pitches as anyone in baseball over the last two seasons.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 05:54 PM) Well someone needs to explain how Freddy lost so much on his fast ball in a year. The clock didnt suddenly strike 40 on him. I definitely think it's too late in the season to still be using the injury excuse for Garcia.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 05:48 PM) I disagree. Outside of Contreras being out two weeks, what other injuries have our starters have? The Cubs haven't really had their starters all healthy for an extended period. Don't get me wrong though, outside of Zambrano, their starters suck. QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 05:51 PM) If that's true, that's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Actually, I agreed with Widger playing. We saw with Thome last night how difficult RJ is on lefties.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 05:43 PM) We are second after the Cubs, but point taken. At least they have an injury excuse. Our starters have been healthy basically all year.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 05:42 PM) We need pitching first and forrmost. BA is good enough in center. Here's my reasoning....we're not going to add to our starting rotation. If anything, we'll trade a starter, and plug in McCarthy. Anderson's looked better recently, but can we really count on him to hit the good pitching we'll see in the 2nd half (guys like Liriano or Santana)? Trust me, I would love for us to go after Soriano for LF, but I can't see us doing that this year.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 05:41 PM) I'm sorry, but 1st inning Mark Buehrle can kiss my ass...he is so awful in the 1st inning of his games. And yes, before the Buehrle apologists show up, it WAS a bad read on BA I know. We have the most overrated starting pitching in all of baseball.

What I would do for the Sox to trade for Andruw Jones.

Man, this team is so flat and bad right now. Terrible effort by Anderson on that line drive.

Not a promising start for Buehrle.

I hope our hitters are sitting on the fastball, as they're not touching that curve today. I have to say though, it was another amazing at-bat by our leadoff hitter.

What an excellent analysis of the pathetic managing job which was the 8th inning tonight.

No Crede tomorrow.

There comes a point where you realize a team has "it". It was obvious early on last season that the White Sox had "it". I'm ready to proclaim that the Tigers have "it" this season.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 02:12 AM) I know 4 teams in our division that wouldnt be sad to see him go either. thankfully he is not going anywhere for awhile. And at least one player in the division. Poor Matt Stairs....Ozzie's the only manager in baseball still worried about facing him.

Thought some of the posters in here would find this interesting....on the post game show on Comcast, they just reported the NY Daily News rumor about the Sox shopping Garcia or Vaz. With the way the Sox organization works, they wouldn't be having Comcast state this unless there was something to it.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 02:03 AM) I know 25 people in our clubhouse that would be. They aren't very important compared with the fans though. 24......McCarthy would probably be doing cartwheels I agree with you though.....it's not even worth discussing.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 02:01 AM) I would not be upset if the White Sox were to replace their manager some time in the near future. It's not happening any time soon, so we just have to get used to the way he manages. I'm just happy that he managed very well in the postseason last year (outside of letting Hermanson face Lane in Game 3).
