Thanks man. Dead versus lefties is his matchup. He at least has a chance to go yard and tie it.

Uh huh. If you were in the chat room, I was calling for Dead even before Ozzie put in Ozuna. Thanks.

Wrong. I even wanted to see Dead pinch-hitting over Ozuna in the last inning.

Yeah, cuz a 2-0 count is so similar to a 0-2 count. GMAFB. :rolly

I would have ripped on anyone who swung on a 2-0 count when we need baserunners. It's stupid. It just happened to be Willie, which is no surprise.

On a 2-0 count, Willie should be taking at least 2 pitches when we need baserunners. How can you possibly defend that?

That made no sense. I was calling for Dead in the chat room. At least Dead has a chance at hitting a homer versus a lefty. Stupid move by Ozzie.

Willie shouldn't be swinging for the fences, lol.

Wow, that's pretty meaningless considering Willie was batting instead of Ozuna. If Ozuna was actually batting then you can say that. Keep defending your scrub Willie.

Willie swung for a homer on a 2-0 count when we needed baserunners. That is inexcusable.

Crede is back to his old cruddy self. That's nice to see.

Timo is even more worthless. How many times does he try to bunt with 2 outs?

Willie is worthless. We need baserunners so he actually swings on a 2-0 count. Draw a walk you piece of crap!

So Crede-lovers, is this still his year? His AVG is now .266 after another Cruddypopsitup.

True, Karsay is a righty while Cotts is a lefty but does it matter? Cotts has actually been much worse against lefties this season. Cotts vs. Left-handed Batter 5.0 IP 7.20 ERA .391 BAA 1.80 WHIP 9 H 0 BB 5 K Cotts vs. Right-handed Batter 6.2 IP 1.35 ERA .048 BAA 1.20 WHIP 1 H 7 BB 5 K

The Giants wanted Pods in the offseason as well. http://www.mlb4u.com/chw.html The Devil Rays just signed Carl Crawford to a 6-year, $31 million contract on 4/1/05.

Good observation. That is the key right there. Pods is almost always taking at least the first 2 pitches to start off his at bats. Even if he doesn't manage to get on base, it seems like he is always at least working the pitcher's pitch count. Greg Walker and Ozzie must have just told him to take pitches all day long. Why else would Pods have 21 BB's and only 12 K's? The past two years, he has pretty much struck out twice as much as he has walked.

Someone needs to tell Cotts that he isn't supposed to put the first batter he faces on base be it from a walk, hit, or HBP.

True, it's a stupid idea but it doesn't mean Cotts sucks any less.

The Sox are leading the MLB in team SB with 46. Pods has half of our team's stolen bases with 23. The Devil Rays are ranked 2nd in team SB with 38.

I think Konerko will wake up when Frank is back in the lineup.

Yep, the best thing is that we are facing the Rangers' 3 worst starters. We don't have to see Kenny Rogers or Chris Young.

http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws UH-OH. A homerun hitting team at the Cell is scaring me a bit. Wow, Dead absolutely destroys Chan Ho Park. Aaron is starting to get hot and Pods is tearing it up.

But will the Rangers eat s*** is the only question?
