Our team has given up less than 3 runs a game this month and we are only 3 games over 500 for the month. Our offense better get its head out of its ass soon.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 02:10 PM) When's the last time the Sox got a hit with 2 outs and RISP? Minnesota is the best in the AL with a .284 BA with 2 outs and RISP. We are the worst in the AL with a .182 BA in the same situation.

Mark better not be trotting out there now.

Ah how ironic, the Thome sign commercial. They should move that target to the right side of the infield.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 01:55 PM) If this runs scores it's game over. I bet we won't even score again. Well we have to score our runs before our middle of the order comes up to strand them.

Masset is up,

Buerhle with horrible control this year. He keeps missing up.

Funny comment by Hawk "You better hold them, there are your three"

1st and 3rd with no outs and the popup and suck patrol show up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 01:02 PM) Ramirez!!! Holy cow, Swisher must have had an unreal jump on that play. I hope Uribe can get used to being the super sub again.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 12:59 PM) Thanks for playing Crede. I guess he thinks this is a game of catch between the pitcher and the catcher.

6/1/08 Paul Konerko hits the ball the other way.

Sonnanstine has a 5 ERA. Lets not make him into Cy Young. His last start against us did nothing to inflate his ERA, so other teams including that offensive powerhouse Oakland have hit him.

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ May 31, 2008 -> 11:54 PM) Having a solid fastball and a really good change-up will shut down any team. Look at Kazmir today, his change up had our hitters completely off balance, and i've never seen him throw that many against us. Its part of the scouting report. This has been for years a fastball hitting team. Changeups and breaking pitches are this teams downfall.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 31, 2008 -> 11:45 PM) That's what every team he shuts down says after the game. Well take a look at a guy who seems to have our number and not the rest of the league. Look at Jared Weavers numbers against us. We have one run against him in 4 starts, and then look at other teams like the bad hitting Jays who put up 12 on him the other night. Its not just good pitchers, we turn mediocre pitchers at times into a great pitcher. We have to 5 ERA pitchers in Hochevar and Meche this week. We should crush both of them. Lets see what happens.

I love it when Millionaires tell kids who need to pay off 40k in loans about how money shouldnt be something you run after. If this guy gets in, he will ruin the economy like Carter did in the late 70s. He will tax what he considers those who make too much and it will bury our economy. No matter how you slice it, its socialism.

QUOTE (quickman @ May 31, 2008 -> 11:17 PM) Actually the solution to the hitting woes is coming to town in the form of KC. Thats when things will turn around. They will get there bats going at that time and then the confidence will carry to the next series. We are in first place by 2 games and we have not hit yet. we will come home and things will warm up. Greinke has a 2.88 ERA. So its not necessarily going to start on Monday. And after the Royals leave town its not exactly like the Twins are a bunch of stiffs pitching wise. Our hitting should get healthy when we face the Tigers. We face Colorado and Pittsburgh and all of them are horrible. Hochevar 4.98 ERA 1.57 WHIP Meche 5.35 ERA Twins Series Blackburn 3.39 ERA hernandez 4.60 ERA Slowey 3.38 ERA Perkins 3.90 ERA

QUOTE (wilmot825 @ May 31, 2008 -> 09:59 PM) The White Sox are in need of a bat that will produce and help them into the playoffs. Even though it is early, maybe starting early will build chemistry over a longer period of time for this team to work. So my soultion is this.... Trade Paul Konerko Danny Richar TO Cinn. for Ken Griffey Jr. and possible prospect THEN Swisher can play 1B (His natural position) and Griff can play CF (His natural position). KGJR can then flurrish again in the American League. Maybe this is far fetched to trade old for older but maybe this may spark everything the right way. I am sure that Paul is going to waive his 5 and 10 no trade clause to go to Cincinnati. The fact that you would even entertain the though of putting a 40 year old in CF to run around, mind you one that has been hurt over and over the last few years. Sure moving from facing bad pitching in the NL to the good stuff in the AL is a formula for success expecially at the age that he is. And the fact that you want to toss in Richar, because for some reason you are high on Getz. Wow

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 31, 2008 -> 08:24 PM) If the hitting coach needs to get "s***canned" because the team got shut down by Shields and Kazmir, there should be a lot of hitting coach openings around the league. Every team that Jose Contreras has pitched well against should be looking for a new hitting coach. They must all suck. I am sure that in the month of June they will not face ace's every game. Its a month, it will balance out. The month starts tomorrow.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 31, 2008 -> 08:17 PM) Eddie Murray got fired because he was a miserable schmuck. That's also why Walt Hriniak and Gary Ward got the boot with the White Sox. Walker is highly respected and liked by the players. The only name anyone mentions is Baines. He won't be the hitting coach. Any other names? I have a solution, call the vets into a meeting and tell them that they have until the end of June to fix their hitting. If they dont their buddy gets s***canned. If he is that loved, I expect that they will lead the league in hitting in June and we are back on track.

6 shutouts, 7th loss which our pitching gave up 2 or less runs.

Whoever thought the sign commercials was a good idea must of been drinking for those presentations.

More of that just missed magic.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ May 31, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) If I were AJ I'd swing for the fences. I'm not exactly confident in Anderson or Swisher coming through here if AJ records an out or walks. So bat normal in late situations you say.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 31, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) Great, we take out the guy hitting .400 this month and bring in the guy hitting .200. Again, we counter with a lefty and they counter with one as well.
