QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 02:05 PM) Why is Jose still in? Trust your bullpen filled with 6 mostly reliable relievers... We have Mac and Cotts warming. Which one should we bring in. Anything that starts with a C no matter how the hitter is blessed hand wise is dumb.

We are into the 7th inning. Now we have the ultimate battle, Ozzie trying to get a win for his pitcher over Ozzie trying to get a win for the team.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 01:59 PM) The inconsistencies of Scotty Pods are just maddening. Play right dammit! With him losing his only talent which is speed, he will go from world series hero to 4th OF in say 2 years.

Nice bunt Mr Dergan.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 01:55 PM) I just read an article on Whitesox.com abut the injuries the Sox have been having, and Oz is quoted as saying he plans to rest the regulars periodicly to help their "minor" injuries. So be prepared for similar lineups in the next month or so...........If i were OZ i would go Petal to the metal, we cant afford to give away games now, unless aguy is seriously injured and cant play, or is at risk to seriously worsen an injury then fine, but if their just minor injuries then play through it. We started resting people in game 2, so they should be rested. The they need more rest is almost a joke. The starting lineup starts about 22-25% of the time.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) 97 Pitches for Burnett. Bring in the lefty Shoenweiss to dominate Pods next inning? I call strikeout looking.

Manuel needs to stop messing up our Sunday games. Oh wait, he is gone.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) Lol, we go from 1 on, no out, to none on, two out. Great job today by the 6-7-8 hitters. Cintron would be on second with 1 out, if Mack hit it in the same spot.

Ozzie thinks he is in the national league again. Cintron is not that fast. Dumb.

Right hander comes up, the Count becomes a side armer. And he cant control it as well, he is leaving it up also.

Maybe this week, Coop can eliminate the goofy arm angle that is fishing him up.

Keep pulling it AJ. The last week you have been hot with spraying the ball all over, today for whatever reason you are thinking right side only.

The dumb Jays fans have been trying to do the Yankees Roll Call chant at different times today.

Can we get Jose throwing back the way he was before he decided to add another arm angle during his time on the DL. I dont know why we have a pitcher who dominates for a few months, then goes on the DL, has a great idea of introducing a new arm angle and hasnt been as dominant since. Maybe just maybe, we trash the arm angle and go back to what worked. He throws sidearm pretty much most of the time. His fastball is down from pre-DL levels. Get back to the over the top more then introduce the side arm here and there for effect.

Anyone that thinks that Pods defense is passable needs to reassess what they think passable is. We all knew he had a noodle arm and used his speed to get over his bad jumps. But this year he is dropping fly balls. This year he plays on the warning track and his speed is not the same, so he winds up coming up a dollar late on every duck snort that should be catchable. Just look at the Royals series where the ball skirted to the fence because Pods misjudged a ball. His defense is terrible. No question.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 09:22 AM) I ABSOLUTELY think that the WBC had an effect on Freddy... ESPECIALLY Freddy, because he pitched into almost November. His velocity was there in WBC, and was there in April, and now it's not. He's tired. And rightfully so. I agree that it most likely had an effect. But Hawk and DJ were spinning the whole, Freddy is now a finese pitcher all the way back in spring training. His velocity was not there from the beginning. And he was rebranded by Hawk and DJ as a new type of pitcher. So they knew something right away, and the way they spun it was that it was a career choice.

QUOTE(dasox24 @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) I heard during the MLS-Chelsea game that there are rumors that Chelsea is looking to sell Hernan Crespo Btw, how 'bout the MLS All-Stars' perfermance today? I know this is preseason for Chelsea, but I still think it's pretty impressive. The MLS really played quite well. Plus, you've got to consider the MLS didn't have the likes of Landon Donovan, Eddie Pope, and a couple other all-stars. They had to have soaked the field before the game. The ball was moving like it was a water logged pitch. The ball would move out and then would stop. The best move of the game was Albrights bump in of Bridge and then to take a shot in the box. Just missed. That was a class move, and a class shot.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) spiff, not the back. Well you know what this means. He wont play tomorrow, because of Ozzies you come out of a game for injury you dont play the next day crap.

Konerko was timed around 3rd with a sundial.

Happy Festivus everyone. We get the blown pick off play, a hit and run, and then a score on an error.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 03:31 PM) 1-0. thomes walk puts runners at 1 & 3. PK base hit scores pods 1-0; thome to 2nd & PK on first. dye lines into dp thome out at second. how did you come up with 2-0? you should be sent to instructional league for scorekeeping. LOL! Nice witty remark. Mensa is calling you.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) Gosh damn. At-bats like THOSE are why I still hold out a little bit of hope for Javy to turn it around. His pure stuff is nasty, and right there, that was a great job of attacking Cat. Couple of fastballs away, good movement to the corner, and that nasty slider down and in to finish him off. :sigh So much f'n potential... His stuff is as nasty as it gets. If he can keep his brain focusing on the game and not let things ouf of his control bother him he would be fine. His slider looks better today, and he is keeping on top of things driving down. The Jury is out until we get to > pitch 75.

QUOTE(Chopper2Hopper @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 03:25 PM) Anybody notice a difference in Javy's delilvery? Seems he might be following through differntly, though I could be just looking too hard. Talk to me after the 5th inning about Javy. I have seen the Javy ace of the staff before 75 pitches before.

We had a pitcher on the ropes in the first inning and could of put a 3 to 4 spot up, but thanks to some retarded thoughts we only get one.

How does a championship level team or a team not named the Royals or Devil Rays make so many fishing dumb base running mistakes. Who the gosh darn sent Thome and why didnt Joey sent him back when it was going to be caught. Nice coaching and nice running. QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 03:22 PM) that base hit by PK put the pods mistake as a no effect on this inning...just he learned a very important lesson for free! i am assuming that glaus wouldnt have made an error on the throw to first. It would be 2 to nothing. He can learn about baserunning in the intructional league.
