QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 07:09 PM) Well I will say that AJ has to stop calling that damn curveball. If Widger was behind the plate tonight there would be about a million threads about how bad he is. That being said, Vaz can't execute a pitch in a big situation..just ask the yankees. He didn't call a curveball. He called the slider that everybody is clammoring for. He just hung the hell outta it.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 07:00 PM) That pich was clearly a hanging slider. Most definitely.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:58 PM) A slider moves right to left with some tilt to it. When you throw it badly it flattens out. When you throw a hanging curve, it sits up like a batting practice tee. I can recognize a slider and a curveball. You know more than Hershiser? Who said several times that it was a slider while looking at the hi def feed? It was a slider. ANd a bad one.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:56 PM) that was his curveball. His slider is the pitch he has been throwing well with 2 strikes. Hershiser said it was a slider and it looked like a slider. It was a slider.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:55 PM) Its just a high curveball It was a slider. Jenks sucks btw.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:54 PM) Keep throwing those hanging curveballs meathead. Everytime you threw one tonight you got it hit hard. But you keep it in your head to throw it over and over. And he throws another one. You cannot learn from your mistakes. It was a slider.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:54 PM) Yep, they keep getting lucky that Vazquez hangs pitches. They had a couple of bloopers, but they capitalized on some awful pitches. Thats what I said. They've got 'it' this year.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:53 PM) Was that another f***ing curveball? He might as well not throw another one all season. Get a f***ing pair Vazquez, and drill Shelton. It was a slider. Just like the one to Ivan.

They've got it this year. They are lucky as hell.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:49 PM) It was close enough that when you consider the difference in defensive ability between the two, you have to think Anderson would have made the play. No, I don't, but it doesn't matter. Ozzie sucks, Mack sucks, blah blah blah. Doesn't matter.

WTF are you doing AJ?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:47 PM) We know you dont like Anderson, but if you think that they have the same range and are the same defenders then I suggest an eye doctor. Of course he doesn't. But BA doesn't get there either. It was way short of Mack.

QUOTE(Bhay99 @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) chopper over credes head....seeing eye slow roller to left....bloop into center....this is lame It's what they do.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) Probably not, but he may have gotten close enough to get an out at 2nd. Judy Vazquez time. There wasn't anybody at 2nd.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:45 PM) Would Anderson have gotten to that? No. He is not THAT much faster than Mack. ANd Mack got a solid jump.

Incredible. They are lucky as f***.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:43 PM) He has hung 2 cureballs to Irod. Yet I bet he would throw another one to him. Dumb. That was a slider. 2 little seeing eye hits.

Such Bulls***.

Thats BS

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 05:39 PM) dammit, find some holes Not having much luck with that of late, whether we hit it hard or soft.

Don't pitch in to Guillen. He will dink the hell outta us. That's all he did for 3 games in the last series.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 05:12 PM) For 1 inning... He traditionally pitches fairly well against us. I don't expect much different tonight. Starters need to have a really good series.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 04:41 PM) I believe I said realistic. Personally, I think the rotation, outside of freddy, can't get a whole lot more s***ty and it isn't blind optimism to think that they can revert to numbers closer to what their averages are... Good post. Our pitching needs to get better obviously, but there is plenty of reason to think that it will. We have the second best record despite playing like crap for a couple of weeks. We'll get hot again, just like we'll slump again. Let's just hope we get hot more than we slump. There is nothing unrealistic about our record this year. We dont' have anywhere near the luck factor that we did last year.

Well we gotta feel like s***, and the Bosox have to feel like s***. The Yanks are 1/2 game back and half their team is hurt.

He obviously was not feeling well. Hoepfully the day off will get rid of the flu crap.
