Time for Crede to earn that clutch monicker.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 3, 2008 -> 08:29 PM) I think they have moved Alexie to short late in the gam a few times. you'd think he'd be given time. But they left him at 2B and have Uribe at SS. They are trying to showcase Uribe, and the position of need is SS. Once Uribe is gone, Alexei is your backup SS.

Swish was unlucky there. He nailed it on the button. The only reason that was caught was that there was a runner on first.

Happy Birthday America, sorry your national anthem doesnt apply to me.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 3, 2008 -> 03:30 PM) oh good lord. Obama says he'd refine his policy and everyone (including nearly every media company) ASSUMED he meant he would reconsider withdrawal. The problem? HE NEVER SAID IT! All I have read is that he would refine it. Not the withdrawal, the tactics involved. Maybe on the way over to Iraq to get his facts straight he can stop over in France. They are the experts when it comes to withdrawing from the battlefront.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 3, 2008 -> 01:07 AM) It's amazing how Jenks has gone from a closer with possibly the best stuff in the entire league to a guy with some of the worst stuff of any closer. I mentioned this in the catch all thread the other day, how I wish he would throw the high fastball more to set up his curve. Even though his stuff is down, he's still gets guys out and that's all that matters now. However, I don't think he'll be this good long term. When Jenks came to this team, people were all worried he was going to blow his arm out, his fastball is too straight, he is too wild. Now he throws strikes, if you watch his 94-95 mph fastball moves all over the place, and sinks. Ask a hitter who is harder to hit, Kyle Farnsworth or Bobby Jenks. Bobby has also started to pitch to contact more, which will get him out of innings in less pitches than trying to strike everyone out. The radar gun police did this last year on how Bobby was not throwing hard enough, etc. He is evolving into a pitcher. Which means he will be around longer.

Our sweep has pretty much put the Indians into selling mode.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 10:38 PM) Russell's slow then quick, whip-like motion reminds me of Line's. As long as he throws strikes, he will be fine. He has a nice arm, has some funky arm angles and is tough on hitters. His only issue is if he gets wild. Throw strikes, and he gives us another power arm in the pen.

That last pitch didnt need to be checked. That slider split the plate.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 10:27 PM) I swear to God sometimes I think Ozzie doesn't even look at charts, or scouting reports, anything like that. Ozzie doesnt need all that mumbo jumbo.

There is one guy on the team that can cause problems. And we pitch to him. Lets walk this off guys.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 09:45 PM) One f***ing time Brian! A man with gold locks now stands at 2nd base, after driving in the go ahead run.

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 05:16 PM) Within 2 hours of Gametime and no thread so Ill start her up....LET GO WHITE SOX!!!! and Happy Birthday to my wife!!! Your wife shares a birthday with my son Brendan, who is 4 years old today. We are going to Saturdays game to celebrate. Tonight its cake and ice cream with the family. Lets get a win.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 10:02 PM) We are going to smack around Harden. You know it. A guy like moyer scares me more with our offense than a power guy like Harden.

Alexei Ramirez was not told about how 85 mph is unhittable, giggles at the Borowski pitch and puts it over the fence.

Swisher should run foul poles for striking out against that. Even with the ump giving them a strike. We have to be the only team in the league that cant hit this crap.

Crede rolls over on a meatball, one out.

85mph and no control. This guy should be meat.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 08:39 PM) At some point you gotta give the kid some sort of shot when it matters. Let's see if he can step up. I agree after you ween him in a bit. He hasnt been used in forever though. Kind of a risky move.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 08:35 PM) Methinks it's time for ol' Matty to sit down. And Russell to come in??????

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 08:32 PM) Offense can go into "slumps" against fantastic pitching. Thats what good pitchers are supposed to do. This is probably the toughest pitching stretch this team is going to see this season. The sad thing is that Danks should have 10 or more wins and should be in the allstar game. But our on again, off again offense hasnt done him any favors this year.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 10:03 PM) Everybody has a bad day, right? If Joe can make a basic throw you can wash out a few runs there.

Joe Crede, Get your head out of your ass. Fans Everyone else good.
