QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:22 PM) Yeah, you're right, being able to take 4 from KC at Kauffmann will sure come in handy when they are getting their asses handed to them in Boston this postseason. Last year we dominated the weak teams, especially our division, and we played 500 ball against the good teams. People criticized us and said well you didnt really beat the good teams, we couldnt beat the As crap like that. Now we are using the same comments for Detroit.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:03 PM) You know what's bulls***? A pessimistic fan incapable of contextualizing a one-game road losing streak. Give Chris Singleton a call then, because he said he expected us to sweep this and it was bad that we didnt.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) But we won the road series, that's all you can ask for on the road I've said it about a trillion times already, Pittsburgh is not even close to the same team away from PNC Park as they are at home. So you think that the Tigers will have a problem sweeping them this weekend. Minny was able to sweep them in PNC. They never scored more than 3 runs against the Twins in any game.

QUOTE(Dawgs @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:54 PM) The bullpen is the Sox Achilles heel. No one member of the pen is the achilles heal.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:50 PM) That guy is incredible. What a series. Just remember this when the Tigers roll in here and win by 5-0, 7-1, 8-3 this weekend. 2.5 games back.

Politte can go back on the DL. He needs surgery. And Ozzie needs his head examined.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:45 PM) Well, I hope Bobby likes to pitch 40 days in a row. I would use Thornton here. Letting cliffy pitch, post dl, same crappy nibbler is a recipe for disaster.

This guy walked Uribe. His control must be poor.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:40 PM) Dye takes a walk on what, four pitches and Joe swings at pitch #1. Well played. Look at whats is behind him. You would swing also.

Walk to Dye. Lets not get cute and bunt here. Let Crede bomb one.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) This is a move by Oz where, if it works out, everyone says "Great job Ozzie, getting Politte his confidence back right away in a tight game" If it doesnt work, then all of a sudden, everyone calls for Ozzies head. Odd bullpen placement is ozzies calling card. He had montero in the game late.

Dont nibble Cliffy. Remember Nibbles from Tom and Jerry.

Cintron throws some leather. 1 down.

Lets see if Uncle Cliffy has his mojo back after going on the DL.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) Polite, Riske, and BMAC are better options, for free. I agree with you on this Rock. With his high fastball/forkball combo he has always been a fly ball pitcher. This year he has had a lot of groundballs, but I think that will all change if he went to the Cell in summer. Roberto at the Cell now.....bad......scary movie bad.....

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:20 PM) You have to beat the teams you are supposed to beat. You know that. You know better than that. In 2005, the White Sox beat the teams they were supposed to beat. If you want to win this division--especially this year--you have got to beat the teams with the worst records in the league. Period. C'mon, you know better than that. Thank you Thome for getting Addys memo. We should beat this team. We are eleventy billion times better than the Pirates.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:19 PM) IS EVERYONE PAYING ATTENTION: In what comes as no suprise, Hawk and DJ are talking up Roberto Hernandez like he is Bob Gibson. We've seen this happen many times in the past with other players the White Sox front office has locked in on. This could be completely coincidental, but, Hawk now has a proven track record in this type of behavior. Yes it almost as telling of a thing as KW giggling when you mention someone.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:11 PM) No, this team sucks for daring to lose 26 games in 77 games played! Ozzie sucks at managing because he lost the game today and Widger should be release just because! I am sure that Detroit will have the same problems and the same tight games with the Pirates. We had our top 3 going in this series against the worst team in the NL Central. The royals are better than the Pirates. We won the first 2 games and our best pitcher was on the mound for game 3. The fact that we didnt sweep this is sad.

Our relievers love the free pass.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:06 PM) Yup, but we wont. Well hopefully are not in a position of being within a game with the last 3 to go for the season. We face the Twins and the tigers face the Royals.

Widger swings at the first pitch. End of threat. AJ should of hit there. Now we have to rely on Uribe, Brian Anderson, PH against their lefty closer.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:04 PM) You cant sweep everyone. You should sweep the worst team in the NL Central though with your Ace on the mound.

AJ should be hitting here. Why is widger hitting here.

Its up to Crede or we are f***ed.

Joses ERA in June before this game is 5.57.
