The scary thing is that the correction is well underway for Rios, his numbers are coming back down to his career norms and we still have a ways to go until they get there. I'm not sure we can survive a Rios rough patch, even if Quentin is tearing the cover off the ball.

This game feels like a bad, bad omen. One of the worst teams in the league tries to give you the game and you don't take it. Scary s***.

It's funny because a walk does us no good.

Here's comes a K on a ball way down.

Wow, that's the best you got?

BRING ME KOTSAY!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:30 PM) Funny thing is, he probably thinks he's hot s*** over there. It's amazing just how horrible he is given he had the reputation for being a defensive wiz while playing for Seattle.

My god is Betancourt f***ing horrible.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:27 PM) Rios just missed two cookies. He'd definitely a little off. His power numbers are down this month and I expect next month to perhaps be a down AVG month. His numbers are correcting themselves.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:24 PM) The fact that he has a .353 OBP in that time makes me think he should hit second. Omar Vizquel is the finest 2 hole hitter this team has had in a LONG time. Perhaps the best I've ever seen.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:21 PM) Then why would you say it in the first place? You know why he's doing it, so there's really no reason for it to bother you. QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 07:45 PM) Why does it annoy me? Because it does, it's a normal human reaction that I can not explain, I read the quote and it irks me. Perhaps I just dislike bulls*** coach speak. Like a lot of things in life: I understand it but I don't have to like it.

I really wish Omar's arm was just a touch stronger than a 10 year old girl.

Well this is looking bleak. Not looking forward to Soria in the 9th. Kinda wonder why we re-signed Mark Kotsay if we're not going to use him when he's actually needed.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) Kotsay should really be batting for Vizquel here. I actually agree, this is Kotsay's specialty and I'd love to see someone up there with a little pop.

Omar time! One more good AB, old man.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) why the F*** do we swing at crap pitches when the guy cant throw a strike!! 2-0 take a pitch gordon, you should pray for a walk *cough*AJ*cough* I'm still pissed about that DP.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) WTF was he playing there for I didn't see the grounder but I assume he was shading him way up the middle. Well, they've been doing that to most all our right hand hitters of late since they never hit the ball threw the hole on the right side. NEVER. It's good scouting.

It's amazing that Buehrle managed to pick up a quality start on a night in which he got hit around and was squeezed big time. Dear god is Betancourt f***ing horrible.

Well, if you're not going to hit or field well you might as well bust it down the line.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:05 PM) What does it look like for Lerew? Same, though Buehrle's been more blatantly f***ed and Lerew got the benefit of 2 strikes well off the plate:

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) fathom mentioned this during game 2 of the World Series when Garner brought in Qualls to face Konerko - you don't bring a reliever into a game when he has no room for error whatsoever. It's going to take hella stones for Santos to get out of this mess. Apparently he's got big ones.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:05 PM) When Jason Kendall walks twice, you know some weird s*** is going on.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:02 PM) I'm going to look at this umpire's pitch f/x chart and see how f***ing bad he really is. Because that walk to Kendall was right on the inside corner. The whole entire ball was inside the damn strike zone. It's pretty ugly. WAY too much green toward the middle of that box.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:00 PM) I'd die. We should have hired him the second he retired, you can't let a talent like that latch on with another organization.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) Yeah, next inning is going to have to be the one... The funny thing is; the 1 time we did get to him it was a 2 man rally: Erstad and Uribe.
