Well that was low and away. Paulie pulls it, only gets the end of the bat on it, and flys out.
Now if he stayed back on it, and hit it back up the middle or to right, maybe it would of went farther. But if you cant pull it, you cant hit it.
Now its time for the Royals to bring in the ball boy. His name is Timmy and he is 15, but he is left handed and learned how to bounce a slider in the dirt. Thome doesnt have a chance.

Why can't Pods run through first base just once.
His speed thingy is broken. Its been broken since about July 20th of last year.

Our zero tool left fielder ladies and gentlemen.
Thank God Ozzie pinch hit for Anderson, Pods never needs a pinch hitter.
He is a lefty, leftys are a step closer to 1st.

Last chance... get us started PODS.
Ugh, that's not very re-assuring to type.
Anderson gets pinch hit for like he is the plague. But prancer gets to go up because god was lucky enough to bless him with a left hand as his predominant arm.
Thank god our Manager is so observant that Lefties can only hit righties, and righties can only hit lefties.

Crede could have easily tied up this game if he didnt try to hit the ball to Mars. A nice level swing would have been good enough.
Alex swings at ball 2
Carlos Lee used to do that. we need a single, and then he swings for the fence and Ks or popsup. But thankfull we got rid of him and Jose and their bat at bats in RISP situations.

Kinda funny that everyone who has gone up there with a good plan this inning has reached, and the two guys who were trying to hit homers made outs.
Well come on, if you dont lift and pull how do you score.
QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 09:44 PM)
Ross comes through again! Start him somewhere every day!
But he isnt a fast guy in the Juan Pierre mold, so he cant play LF. We need a noodle armed guy who cant hit, but is fast.
Ozzie must hate Anderson.
Prancer will get to hit in this situation, but our guy hititng 300 over the last few months is incapable to come up here.
This is a sign that Ozzie will start Mack in CF in the playoffs. If he cant trust him here against the Royals, what happens in a big game in October.
Holy s***, AJ just remembered his twins playing days. He slapped the ball the other way.
He may get fined in the Kangaroo Court for not attempting to go deep there.

good defense today boys!
Starting in CF for your Chicago Whitesox Rob Mackowiak
Starting at SS for your Chicago Whitesox Alex Cintron
Paulie gets an RBI. Now he cant GIDP.
Way to take one, and not pull the outside away pitch.
Now lets see if AJ can remember he was a line drive hitter for the first half of this year, and before our coaching staff got their mitts on them.
QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 09:27 PM)
Thome can expect to see nothing but low and away until he proves his hammy will allow him to go get that pitch.
Hitting low and away pitches are against the whitesox hitting philosophy. If you cant pull it, you cant possibly hit it. is our motto.
