Another 6+ ERA pitcher who looks like Cy Young. 2 solo homers. And we lose to one of the worst teams in the AL. Its like the wayback machine back to 2000-2004 Chicago Whitesox. I cant wait for this homestand to be over. So we can get back on to the road and play baseball again. Watching this softball team at home is sad.

Jenks sets them down in order with 2 K's. Nice work by Bobby. Its time to get some runs and do it against Guardado who we have had some issues against.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 08:29 PM) Offensive slumps happen for a weak or so, not 3 weeks or so. Well on the good news front we are near the league lead in homers. On the bad news front I think most of them are of the solo variety. In the offseason KW needs to replace the Konerkos and corpseballers of the team with guys who have high BA and high OBP and people who can actually hit with men on.

That kid is a BEAAAAASSSSSTTTT!!!!! Nice 1-2-3 inning. Good scare on the hanger though. Lets get some runs.

I cant wait until their next away trip. I know its against the Yanks and BoSox but it gets them away from the Corpseball Field.

That was a hang wiff em.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 08:07 PM) Alright Scotty, basehit now. We're playing baseball now.... This is more like it. Not everything has to be bashed to mars. Just string a few hits together. Keep the line moving.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 08:01 PM) Ya, that's exactly it. :headshake :headshake :headshake :headshake Give me a logical explanation of why Freddy started the 9th inning against the tigers on the last home stand after throwing well over a hundred pitches and having a 1 hour rain delay. Maybe its because he was better than anyone in our pen, or maybe he is putting the wood to a relative of Ozzie.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 07:59 PM) Freddy in trouble, might be time to bring in Bobby and get a few k's. He is a relative. He aint coming out.

Well Freddy is over 100 pitches. Most managers would say maybe he is tired and start to get the pen up. But then again, not many pitchers are married to relatives of the manager. Maybe he will start the next inning.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 07:50 PM) Pk w/ a single. Cmon AJ!! GIDP This is focking Corpseball. Solo Homers, and then nothing. Any other team lights up this turd. He has averaged at least giving up 4 runs lately. And he has a plus 6 ERA.

We better get to Cy Pinero.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) Some good news. 2 of the important teams that we are looking at are both losing. Oakland is down to KC and Boston is losing to Minny. The only other teams we'd really be interested in are the Yanks, who are winning, but that doesn't really matter, and LAA who hasn't started yet. We are going to get into the playoffs. The other teams dont matter. Its time for this team to learn how to string a few hits together without trying to park everyone into the stands. They need to get back to situational hitting. Driving the runner in. Its time to get this offense going before the playoffs. When 6+ Era pitchers can shut us down for most of a game its pretty focking sad.

BTW official note to everyone. When DJ makes comments about Juan Uribe having a very long swing. Its pretty obvious. That he doesnt need to use a long swing to get the power. HMM I wonder what Juan is trying to do.

Its the Whitesox retro offense now. Hitting solo homers and stranding runners. Your 2000-2004 Whitesox. We have too many hitters looking longball when they come home.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) here is a pic of konerko's wife: Now that image has been cropped down. Cool.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 08:38 AM) It's a good song, but it has nothing to do with this game thread. Therefore, it is damn creepy for someone to start a game thread with imagine lyrics. Also, how can someone like both the Red Sox and the White Sox? Now if it was Pantera/AC-DC/Metallica thats different. LETS BEAT THE CRAP OUT THEM

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:23 PM) Dustin looking like a real closer today. Dustin Looked Filthy

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) D.J.'s homerun calls definitely need some work. On a side note, I love Iguchi. :uhoh

GOOCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NICE DONG GOOOCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLUTCH AS HELL.

Jays doing a little corpseball themselves today.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) Just able to get online now, but why in the f*** did Ozzie use Cotts and Cliff so soon? On what planet are Cotts and Cliff the middle relievers to get to Marte and Viz, the set-up men? Just what I was thinking. Cotts and Cliff are middle mop up men and now Marty Party and Jizzcan are the guys in the middle of the mix at the end.

Jizzcan in. This makes no sense.

God Damn Marty Party. Geoff Blumm saves Marty Party.

Crede has been a bit shakey lately on the easy plays. He makes the hard ones and then bones the easy ones with men on. Is the back more of a problem than he is letting on.
