QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:40 PM) Who's Thriller? T-Pain aie Mike Jackson, former sox pitcher.

Kenny loves these twitchy slider type relievers. Thriller, Vizcaino, and now Pena. Same pitcher, same crappy results.

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) rios makes zero adjustments at the plate. He took a normal long loopy swing on a ball 3 inches outside Don't worry. Give our guys time, they will turn that into a short quick swing. Thats our speciality.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:32 PM) Whether we like it or not Dye and Thome are two of our best hitters. If we're pinch hitting for them we're admitting we're not good enough. You dance with the one that brung ya. You should check out the 2nd half stats and revist that claim. Dye in the first half was one of our best hitters. Right now he is a larger version of Brent Lillibridge.

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:31 PM) god forbid we pinch hit for dye You can't pinch hit for any of the 05 crew. Steve sung them a song.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:25 PM) Screw you Neil Diamond Some on on the Sox needs to get angry Everytime I hear Neil I think of this movie.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:24 PM) That matchup reminds me of Jenks battling Bagwell when everyone, including Jeff, knew a high fastball was coming and that he wouldn't be able to hit it. It was sad watching it then, and it's sad watching it now with Thome. People keep wanting to squeeze just a few more years out of some of older guys. Watching a great baseball player a few years past their ability to generate good bat speed is very sad.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:23 PM) BRUTAL f***ing AB Jim. Plus velocity versus Thome = not good.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:12 PM) LOL. Right on cue. This coming from the guy who stalks Rios.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:10 PM) Let's get rid of that guy! Lets keep him for 3 more years because of a career year. Many fast guys get better after the age of 30. Happens all of the time.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) a soxplosion would be soxtastic Power from the bench takes care of that. Boom goes the dynamite.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 08:02 PM) Well, getting rid of Cox would be a good start. As someone said earlier, every season around this time is the same. We keep changing people, yet the same time of the year we get the same results.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 07:58 PM) Couple of thoughts as I couldn't be less entertained by White Sox baseball if I tried: - nothing like not having Pods run for Thome when Thome will just strike out against Papelboner's high fastball - Greg Walker better not be back next year - It's too bad this team didn't fall out of contention earlier so we could have done a waiver deal to get Jermaine off this team. The coaching staff is here forever. Only 3rd base coaches get replaced.

Youk's bobblehead doll.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 07:32 PM) 2-1 solo shot by Alex Gonzalez. We will get that right back. If anything this sox team is known for its resilience and can do spirit.

QUOTE (CQMVP @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 07:24 PM) A team BABIP of .287 isn't going to get you very far. That's good for dead last in the AL btw. Not our fault. We keep just running into pitcher after pitcher hiting the black with moving heat and having every one of their breaking pitches tilting like a motherf***er. You just tip your cap and pray that tomorrow brings a stop to this long line of great pitchers. Sure they have an ERA, but who is giving it to them and how. Its like nintendo stuff out there.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 07:22 PM) Keep swinging for the monster, Jayson. Jayson swings from his heels on every pitch. The only difference between success and failure for him is the few times people throw him inside pitches. He crushes those.

Our offense is really stepping up tonight. Hopefully something happens soon.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 06:45 PM) Two weak pop ups and a ugly strikeout. Not looking good against Wake so far. Pitches that move and our offensive approach don't exactly gel too well. Hopefully we start running into a few of these high knucklers.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 06:45 PM) Nix has the worst approach for this type of pitcher. You have to love taking one of our weakest hitters and making sure he gets the most ABs.

Anytime Dye wants to start improving these post ASB numbers let us know. .184 BA .292 OBP .288 SLG .580 OPS 4 homers His numbers are so off he must be hurt. His first half numbers .302 BA .375 OBP .567 SLG .942 OPS 20 homers

If its high let it fly, if its low let it go.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 09:49 AM) The insult to injury is watching the Tigers and Twins beat the bullpens (Seattle and Baltimore) that shut the White Sox out quite recently Well to be fair their strategy after the 6th inning isn't see how far I can jack this.

Freddy pitched good enough to win. It was a nice start, hopefully he can give that type of effort through the rest of the season.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 10:20 PM) I just want to win. Doesn't matter to me who it gets down with. You were angry with the man the minute the deal went down.
