Iguchi's on one pitch mode tonight. Oh well, at least he produced.

Hopefully, that's all for Garcia. Let Viz and Cotts handle the next few innings.

Wow, did anyone else think Payton's was gone there?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:47 AM) This performance is absolutely unacceptable from Garcia tonight. 9 runs scored and KC isn't put away yet is pretty sad. Ozzie's going to give him every chance to qualify for the win. This should be his last batter.

There's the sac fly, now get this guy out and take a seat on the bench.

Garcia's on the verge of letting the Royals right back into this game. Get the sac fly here, get the next guy out, and put it in the hands of our bullpen.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:39 AM) It's been fun, to say the least. Glad Cheat directed me to the site. Yeah, it's a great site. I remember loving the threads when the Cubs collapsed in the 2003 playoffs. Great times!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:32 AM) Sweet. That means I'm right here too! But this is a matter of preference. I wnat a guy in the leadoff slot that is good with the bases loaded. Some people might liek a slugging leadoff man. I like mine to get on base and get things started. Good with the bases loaded? Sizemore is significantly better than Pods when runners are on base. Also, I'm not sure what Sizemore's numbers are, but Pods has been brutal getting on base in LIPS.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:35 AM) I can't take credit for that one. Credit the White Sox fans over at BTF... How's it been over at BTF lately with Sox fans? I haven't read many gamethreads lately, as I'd rather not think about the game if we lose. No on has jumped off the ledge?

Why can't Crede play all his games in KC? Good swing Joe!!! Great hustle Widger!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:30 AM) SWISHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! f*** yeah!!! That was quick.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:27 AM) It may be but half your games are on the road. One triple from Pods is surprising to me. I thought he have several more. He can drive the ball if he wants to. Before yesterday, he was on pace to set two records: - most stolen bases ever without a triple - first player to hit at least 12 homers, and hit none the following season

Good job Freddy!

What's amazing about that Colon trade was that Brandon Phillips was supposed to be the superstar in the deal, and Sizemore and Lee were below him in terms of prospect status.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:23 AM) Well I said if you care about slugging Sizmore is your man. I don't care about it as much from a leadoff man. I'm not saying I wouldn't take Sizemore. He's younger, but as leadoff men in that responsibility, theres not much diff. As you know, you're only a leadoff hitter one time in a game. After that, you really need to get offensive production from your leadoff hitter. Pods has picked up his RBI total lately, but to be around 20 as late as he was in the season was mediocre.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:17 AM) Pods has better offensive numbers FWIW, unless you care about slugging from the leadoff man. Sizemore does have a little pop. It's pretty close tho. Sizemore is bueno. Pods has better numbers than Sizemore? On no planet is Pods in Sizemore's league when it comes to offense this season. They're average is about the same, but that's where it ends. I'd take Sizemore before any other leadoff hitter in baseball this season.

I can't believe DJ just said the following "Scott wears rubbers so he can get a better dig in the dirt!"

Macha should have been tossed a few innings ago standing up for his pitcher. The home plate ump is going to cost his team the game.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:10 AM) runner on 3rd 1 out for CLE Sizemore's a freaking stud.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:09 AM) WTF IS GOING ON WITH THESE WILD PITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lots of pitches in the dirt, but at sometime, our catchers need to make a tough stop. I'm not asking for every single pitch in the dirt, but I see a lot of catchers find a way to keep the ball close enough to prevent the runner from scoring.

6-4 after the 3rd inning. Pods error likely cost Garcia a run.

Why the f*** are our catchers so f***ing bad at knocking balls down with guys in scoring position? That was a terrible effort by Widger on a tough play.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:06 AM) Pods is an AWESOME LF Hopefully, people don't overreact to this comment like they did on my comment that I'd rather have Shingo than Jenks.

Yuck...that was bad all around.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) Thats bush league Ronnie Yes it is. He has been playing some amazing defense though lately.
