0 for last 26 now with RISP

DJ just called the pitcher "Big Johnson"

Crede's back to trying to pull every single pitch, regardless of location.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 11:51 PM) I wish you did that last night Timo. You just knew Timo would fly out last night in his last AB. I wish I could have found someone to bet on that.

What the f*** is that? Like I said, I've never seen a team lose their momentum as fast as we have.

Another time where we let a lefty hitter beat us with 2 outs against a righty with an empty first base. I'm very impressed with how the Tigers are being managed tonight. They look like they're having fun.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 11:43 PM) It hurts me to say it, but I don't want Konerko back next year. If we're going to try and play smallball, we can't have Konerko on our team. He's the epitome of a homer or nothing player now, and we all know how slow he is. I'm with you, I've grown to love Konerko on the Sox. If we were to struggle, and find ourselves down 10 games or so around the deadline, we could get a boatload of talent for him.

You know you're slumping when Vance Wilson hits a ball harder than anyone on your team has in 3 games.

I really would like to see us adjust our order so that Rowand is batting 3rd, Everett 4th, and PK 5th. Having Rowand batting higher in the order would hopefully give us more speed and give us more options in terms of putting runners in motion. It would also help our offense out when facing lefties.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 11:38 PM) How many people in our lineup today are hitting their weight? My god is this god damn ugly... It's too bad there aren't more people on here tonight to tell me to stop being so negative. I really think sometimes people don't watch the games, they just take any negative thoughts about their beloved as insults on their own being.

Will we still be leading the division after tomorrow? I really hope so. To lose a 5 game lead in 6 games would be rough.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) This offense is one of the worst I have seen in a long time. It pathetic... It's funny, but we're doing exactly what KW and Ozzie said they wouldn't put up with this season. Everett, in a sac fly situation, was swinging out of his ass that AB. How long do we have to suck offensively before Ozzie makes some major changes to the lineup? I'm sorry, but putting the choker from last night's game in the 5 hole isn't going to work. 0-23 now....that's unheard of.

We're 0 for our last 22 with men in scoring position now. Terrible AB by Everett there.

Twins are up 2-0 already in the first. Morneau's really been a difference maker for them since he got back.

Good job Pods. We need to get him in.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 11:29 PM) I'd like for us to test it immediately. No kidding. I was telling someone else earlier how sick I am of writing the term "hit-and-run" this week.

Anyone know how good Vance Wilson's throwing arm is?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) 28 pitches for El Duque... :banghead :headshake Yeah, but I'll take him only allowing one run in that inning.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 11:22 PM) Aaron, yes! With our offense, that could have been the game if he dropped that. Good catch though. Hopefully we can have some hard hit balls today.

Good pitch by Hernandez to get Young there. Why are we letting teams run on us whenever they want though? We haven't thrown through one time this season on the 1st and 3rd steal attempt. What is this, Little League?

Who was the person on here that predicted El Duque was going to start get rocked if he continued to pitch the way he has all season? Was it Nuke?

Bring back our momentum please!

Our next pitch out this season will be our first. Besides for Buehrle, poor A.J. rarely has a chance to throw out a runner.

I don't think people would have a problem with Dye sitting out if it wasn't for the fact Timo is replacing him....and batting 5th. This lineup needs a total overhaul, but Ozzie tries to fix it by just replacing players in the same spot of the order.

Willie was competent enough at SS last night to get another start tonight, especially against a pretty tough righty in Johnson. We can't be sacrificing any more offense for defense right now.
