Anderson is going yard this inning.

Detroit Right handed, throwing over the plate. He is going to get torched.

Who the hell brought a trombone to the ballpark. Is this Oakland or a soccer match.

QUOTE(Butter Parque @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 09:23 PM) just got home, how good has Count looked? Terrible, after throwing 5 good innings, he gave up 2 hits. I mean why even bother.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 09:11 PM) Took him long enough. At this point Rex is sitting at Cubcon 2, the injury warning status for a player like Mark Prior. If he got hurt bad on that play, then we need to elevate him to Cubcon 1, which is the status for a Kerry Wood. Hopefully our number 2 can keep healthy, or we may have to see a return of the bearded drunken bandit

I dont care how hard you throw, you challenge this team over the plate and you are going to get destroyed. Now pitchers like Kenny Rodgers frighten me more than Zoolander every could due to him being a junk ball pitcher.

I figure Dye and Crede will dong off of Zoolander. And Konerko will send a Zumaya shot doinking off the foul pole for another dong. We win 5-3

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 12:03 PM) Can't wait til this stupid paranoia is over months from now. BOOKS are now banned in the UK? Because if you rub the pages together, you can start a fire? And all nice Americans can't bring water on your flight - talk about overreacting. This will change in about a month, but until then, what a pain in the ass. I remember immediately following Sept 11, you couldn't even pick someone up at the curb after their flight - what the hell good did that do? None. Now we've gotten smarter and changed that rule and have stupid new ones. Well maybe we can go back to the good old days where you can get your knives and weapons on the plane again.

This is a good matchup for the sox. Verlander is a fastball pitcher who challenges over the plate with his stuff. This is the type of pitcher our offense was made to hit. Now on the other hand the soft tossing Rodgers tomorrow scares me more than the other two. We can hit anyones fastball, and we know this kid will be challenging us. But Rodgers is crafty and wants our team to pull everything. Lets start this series off right, take tonight and get momentum going back towards our club.

Now its about time to pull Mr. Dergan and put Mack in LF. Bmac needs to roll nicely. Well everyone, I will have to pick this up in the winners thread. I need to go to lifetime, and run for a bit. At least they will have the game on the TV.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 11:02 PM) can I atleast have a summary of how ozzie got ejected jeeze you guys aren't very helpful tonight Ozzie ran out on the field, and speared Cooper. Then gave him the mandible claw. Then Cooper came back with a backbreaker, and then he and Gorman beat him for a while, until Hawk jumped over the wall came over and cleared house.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 11:01 PM) Eric Cooper may have the Marte Virus. Different malware. He is infected with the Hunter Wendlestedt Trojan, a variant of the Froemming Trojan.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 10:57 PM) Yes, that was one of the worst calls I've ever seen. He also had that series in Detroit where he blew a call on Thomas, Thomas turned around and jaw jacked with Cooper, then cooper started calling neck high strikes on the big hurt. Then tossed him after he rung him up. Then Maggs just had 3 pitches no matter where they were, they were strikes. Cooper is a punk.

My favorite Eric Cooper blunder was the home run that Joe Crede hit in Baltimore, up about 10 rows, over about 30 feet. Cooper called it foul. Manuel came out, didnt get tossed, and the whitesox wound up losing that by a run or 2.

Hello this is Whitesox tech support how can we help you. Hi my name is Ozzie Guillen. I got the upgrade of Cotts to Cotts 2.1 2006 and this version is buggy. He cant seem to get lefties out. Well Mr. Guillen it looks like Cotts 2.1 had a virus in the code, the marte virus as its known. You need to remove that software from your system, and do a clean install of bmac 2.0. Bmac 2.0 can also help if any of your starters are infected with the marte virus.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 10:32 PM) Well done Javy! There's not a chance in hell he should start the 6th inning. 109 pitches, come on. If he starts the next inning then I dont know.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 10:31 PM) This should be Vazquez's last batter of the game. He needs to go 5 so he can be eligible for the win. Ozzie wants his starters to be winners.

Vaz should be told, your job is not to think. Your job is to read the sign, execute the pitch, and hit the target. If they hit the ball a million miles and you hit the target, its on AJ or the coaching staff.

Something in our minor league development needs to change. Every prospect we bring up has the same exact swing flaw. The low and away pitch. Rowand had it, Anderson has it, Borchard had it, Crede had it forever. They all had long looping swings that could be exposed with the low pitch away. And look at Fields, his K rate tells me that pretty much he will be the same way when he comes up. Can we get someone to teach a line drive swing in the minors, and then adjust to the power stroke once they figure out how to make consistant contact. The only one that I think will not be overmatched when he comes up is Sweeney.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 10:14 PM) For everyone wanting Cotts, I offer this suggestion. Against a guy with a great eye like Giambi, Cotts is either a walk, HBP, or homer waiting to happen. Cotts got possessed by the Marte demon.

Good lord that was a train wreck that didnt happen. AJ had to basically convince him to throw a pitch there. He gives the sign, makes 2 pist pumps to get him to throw it, Javy then throws it. Maybe Javy should stop thinking and just hit the target.

Thats pitching away from contact. He knows his pitch count, and his marbles have shrunk with the game on the line. So just keep walking people. This is dumb.

Why for the love of god when you have a Brandon McCarthy in the bullpen do you have Cotts up first. Is it to plunk Giambi with the bases loaded again. Cotts hasnt been good in a while. I dont get this. Eject the 2005 WS dvd Ozzie, he isnt the same guy.

A nice clean 5 walk game for Javy. 84 pitches in 3 2/3s innings. And he keeps shaking off the catcher. Not on one pitch, but on a bunch. Javy you have walked 5, stop shaking everyone off, just hit the target.

Javy keeps shaking off AJ.
