QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 11:16 PM) strange things? like mulder, hudson, zito and harden always being around? that's not the biggest factor? Strange things like balls getting lost in the sun or in the lights, dropped pop ups, Joe Crede getting hit and not going down to first, Joe Crede and Jermaine Dye playing shortstop. So many f'd up things have happened out there.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 11:13 PM) huston street is filthy. and the reason why we never win in oakland is because oakland always has good pitching. No, that's not even close to being the only reason. We've been able to atleast compete with them at home, just strange things happen when we're out there.

Now, try and get 4 runs, if not shake this off and take the series with Jon and Mark. This has been an ugly game no doubt but it's just that, 1 game.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) Zoom and Rowand, I just looked at the stats -- sub-700 OPS. Wow, I didn't realize he's been that bad this year. I'll keep my mouth shut. Like I said Keith there has to be something wrong with him, just watching him play a few games this year you can tell his bat speed is so much slower then in years past.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 11:04 PM) Cotts, you're fired! Quit throwing strikes! You're the boss.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) I agree. Everyone talks about getting a stud SP, or that guy at the back of the bullpen -- what about an upgrade at 3B? I realize you're gonna lose a little defense if you trade for someone, but we gotta get more production out of the offense. It simply isn't that great -- adding a bat like Aubrey Huff would do a lot, IMO. But that's not for this thread, so I won't talk a whole lot about it. Aubrey Huff has been just as bad as Crede this year. I used to love Aubrey as a hitter but to me just watching him play now I think there might be something wrong with him, his bat speed has looked to slow imo.

QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) I like the pickup of Wilton Guerrero. Now if one of our middle infielders goes down again we wont need to call up Pedro Lopez. As long as he doesn't cork his bat I have no problem with iit.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) Why I am just repeating what everyone is saying. I just trying to get on the popular side. Lets just tip our hat to a better pitching performance. No, you're being sarcastic and it's old and dumb.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:55 PM) Nothing wrong with our offense. Its fine. Do you think your funny?? Cause you're not.

Great ab right there by kendall.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) Somebody please post the rally mojo. It can't hurt, right? Cheat's got that thing pattened He doesn't feel it tonight so he's not bringing him out. GONG

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:49 PM) Come on, what about that Phil Jackson commercial: "He who leaves before the bell tolls may not be there when the story unfolds." I got to remember that one.

Yikes, this gamethread started out real nice now it's time to blow up the team again. Iguchi gets bulls***ted out of another swing.

Really the first time all year scott's done that.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:44 PM) The team sucks. It's probably the only way they can almost guarantee him 4 at bats. Ha, good call.

Gload hit leadoff today, that's interesting to see. I really can't wait to get Ross back.

GONG

Well, Viz was really good again tonight, obviously the walk didn't come at a good time but he was really, really good again tonight.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:32 PM) Looks like 7-8 by my count. Not all of those losses were his fault though. One of them was the Cleveland game where Vizcaino let up a 7 spot in the 11th. Contreras has been very good up until his last 4 starts.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:31 PM) wrong I guess so if it's 7 and 7

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:29 PM) What's the Sox' record when Contreras starts? Good.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) Um, you got that backwords. Washington is more of a pitcher's park. His road ERA is 5.25, and his ERA was 4.86 with the Sox last year, and 8.50 with the Yankees. No thank you. Esteban would get hammered here.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) Contreras hasn't been injured much at all actually in his MLB career. Ya, I have no clue why there seems to be the impression out there that he's always injured.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:21 PM) Stanton isn't even a LOOGY, at least IMO. His 3 year splits say he handles right-handed hitters (.231 BAA) better than lefties (.255 BAA). This year he's been real good against lefties and horrendous against righties.
