QUOTE(bulokis @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:55 PM) We are back to bowing down to the Twins again except last year. No matter what their budget is, they really have good players. We need to go back to basic that help us won it all last year. We need to get players that play good defense and play small ball. Its same thing every year. We pound the living crap out of everyone flexing our home run or nothing muscles. Then after the allstar break....poof...swings get long, balls are popped up, or rolled over to the left side. Its the same thing every year since 2001. This team spiff the bed for an entire month in August last year ruining a 15 game lead. I think we are half way to that goal. Except our lead is now down to 1. QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:57 PM) Silva has looked like crap lately. Maybe we'll get our weekly win tomorrow. Koronka and Wasdin are crap. We should of pounded them also. Our softball corpseball approach is killiing this team. Pull, and lift.

Ozzies quotes every night after the game. X pitcher threw a ball real well tonight. He had a great game. X pitcher threw a couple of bad pitches(which were deposited over the fence with men on). He pitched great except for the one inning.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:50 PM) What was the bad call in the 6th that hurt us? Can't see game and gameday won't explain anything like that. 0-2 forkball to Bartlett.

Tomorrow we should be out of the wild card by tomorrow. 46% of our runs are via the dong. I think that approach works great, different players same result. Great job.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:47 PM) Why wasnt Mack hitting anyway? Would have much rather had him at the plate than Alex. Cintron = 2006 version of Timo. He is everywhere.

Well another game we deserve to lose because we make stupid fishing pitches on 0-2. Maybe coop can get someone to tell the rest of the staff. Down the cock on 0-2 is bad. Hanging a breaking pitch over the middle on 0-2 is bad. Throwing batting practice fastballs on 0-2 bad.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) Might as well accept we used up all of our breaks last year. Even when we were playing and hitting well we weren't getting many breaks. Oh well, it was worth it. We could keep talking about breaks, or our pitchers could stop throwing very very crushable 0-2 pitches. I think it our pitchers start to think a bit more, and execute on 0-2 instead of giving up dongs, the game might have a different spin. But they were sure lucky to get an 0-2 hanging forkball gift.

So pods can outrun a hit into the hole. Thank god we have him for his blinding speed.

Considering we have 3 guys who can get near triple digits at the end of the game, it would be nice to have a lead going into the end of a game. We know can protect it. Offense, please wake up.

QUOTE(Jake @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:08 PM) I hate how we condone people harassing others here. You know what WSI does to trolls. No one cares about that site.

Let see if BA can get some magic going here. Run into one.

Does the crowd get to keep punto or do they have to let him go.

Holy spiff Crede hit a line drive homer. Didnt see that coming.

Every year we have different players, and yet every year our O goes into hibernation after the allstar break.

And that is game, set and match. Goodnight Gracie.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) PK's all or nothing lately Its how our O has been lately.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:39 PM) Thats not Cora's fault.. So gooch just decided on his own to run to 3rd. He didnt pick up his third base coach at all. Come on now.

Cora needs to be put to sleep.

Hey a hit. Our 4th. Yeah...now its time for Thome to do some of country strong routine and send a 2 run jack out of here.

Its nice to see our leadoff hitter get on base for the 3-4-5 guys. Then again Bartlett caught the ball.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:34 PM) Funny, of all our team members he consistently puts up quality AB's against Santana. Even the AB's he's recording outs Pablo appears comfortable. I wouldn't mind if he attempted a bunt early in the count. Even if it's popped up or right to a defender, hits are far between for our offense against him as it is. Might as well try something else. Gooch's first game last year against santana he put the pall in play real well. Then after that he was done.

Well its about time for our 4th hit dont you think.

That pitch should of been a strike. Nice job Blue. edit: same pitch and he gets it called a strike this time.

Nice bunt Juan.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:19 PM) Freddy Garcia vs Bedard? Ugh 88 vs 94 again.
