Now that they finally played his song after strike 2, he gets a hit, just watch.

Lets go RBI machine!

Take a walk Pods, I want a risp for Becks.

Lets just rely on Jayson Nix today, lets go Jayson!

Well at least we still have a gold glove quality pitcher. Nice job, Mark. Scoring time!

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Blah.

Time for a bomb CQ.

Pauly got a little bit jammed there.

It's sad when every ground ball scares me. But well done, lets get a few more here.

QUOTE (north side chi sox fan @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 07:42 PM) Nix with .800 OPS That's pretty crazy considering how low his ba is.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 07:39 PM) Once Peavy gets here our rotation will be unhittable. Until then Buehrle, Danks and Floyd will be mediocre. Yes, Buehrle, Floyd, Danks all with era's under 4, completely mediocre.

I really like Jayson Nix. And Hawk is funny.

Ouch.

Yup, whiffed on the initial tag. Good call.

If Alexei hit that tag he was out. He might have whiffed though.

So watching the Buehrle tribute, what's more impressive, that Buehrle could go a whole game with out allowing a hit/walk or that our defense went a whole game with out committing an error?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 01:38 PM) When all you have to do is be 3 games above .500 in a 19 game stretch, and you can throw out Peavy, Buehrle, Floyd, Danks, you've got a shot at dominating every time. Exactly.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 01:32 PM) I don't understand this statement. We have been inconsistent all year long. What would change in the post season when we face the opposing team's best pitchers? This team seems to focus much more against really good teams(Dodgers, Rays, Yankees, Angels), that guy named Jake Peavy might help a little bit too.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 01:21 PM) Underachievers. This team has absolutely no business not winning this crap division, but we've given away an incredible amount of games. It feels amazingly like 2003, as someone mentioned before. Just like in 2003, we have a talented team with a very good pitching rotation (although our offense isn't as good this year, but our pitching staff will be better when Peavy gets back), but I think we're going to miss a golden opportunity to make the playoffs. Also, like in 2003, I think this team could make a serious run if it just found a way to get in. That about sums it up.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) How's this for logic? He got the game winning hit LATE against the Yankees. The guy says he should never be up late in a game, period. That hit was recent. So LOGIC SAYS in my logic textbook that yes indeed Wise can and should be up late in games. How can my logic fail in this one? Are you serious? If I was wrong here I'd admit it. I am going by LOGIC in my argument. He got a winning hit late in a game, thus he can bat late in games. The poster said he NEVER SHOULD bat late in a game. No, it's terrible logic. Everyone can deliver a hit now and then. The fact is, that hit against the Yankees is his only hit in close and late situations this season(I'm not exaggerating, that's literally his only one). He's a terrible baseball player and he's just as bad in the late innings.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 12:36 AM) Why is it that when I'm awake I never want to go to bed and when I'm asleep I never want to get up? This world is CRAZY. I'm definitely the same way.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) Yes. That Cardinal team was at one point 16 games above .500. Were the 2009 White Sox ever 16 games above .500? Not even close. That's why you can't compare the two teams. They only finished with just 83 wins because they went on an uncharacteristic slide and lost 8 of 9 during the last two weeks of the season. Pretty much every day from May to early September they were between 10 and 16 games above .500. In retrospect I think they resemble an 87-89 game winner way more than they resemble an 83 game winner. The 2006 Cardinals also didn't add an ace to their rotation like we potentially can if Peavy comes back healthy. If you go into the playoffs with: Peavy, Buehrle, Gavin, Danks, you have a chance.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 09:11 AM) Playoff rotation of Peavy Buehrle Danks Floyd I think we just have to get there. Ding ding ding
