Extra time for Holland vs Costa Rica FYI.

Horrible effort Alexei. Jesus.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:48 PM) There's a reason but it's a secret. Apparently DJ mentioned it but hopefully nobody was listening. The secret is his swing sucks

QUOTE (1dog @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:44 PM) And I yelled DO NOT TAKE THAT MAN OUT OF THE GAME. I really dislike Ventura. Once again shocking revelation for fans of a crappy team.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:42 PM) Nice quick inning for Guerra. Now let's score so we don't have to use another pitcher. If only we had a guy like Abreu to hit.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:41 PM) He had a huge sac fly to make it 2-0, though. The pen immediately let him down. Hey, he called those pitches.

I'm ready to give up on Flowers. I just wish the org was.

Flowers is just so bad.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:29 PM) The top of the 11th. And continued frustration.

Now what?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:20 PM) Ok, I think I get it, Robin didn't pull Abreu until he was set up to do the double switch. When Konerko came in, Konerko could take over 1b and Leury could take over for whoever Konerko pinch hit for. More like please God let us somehow win so we don't have to send another pitcher out there.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:18 PM) i am not a Ventura fan. Shocking. Most people love the managers of crappy teams.

And here comes the fantastic bullpen. And we wonder why we were desperate to win in the ninth. Ugh.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:12 PM) And now the offense has no chance without its two hottest hitters in Abreu and Viciedo. And the bullpen has zero confidence and no Petricka to go to, since he was used for only out out. As much as the Leury Garcia PHing for Sierra worked, these late innings have all backfired in an equally horrendous way. They have more walk offs than just that one time.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) Yes, for some reason Robin didn't pull him when he got on base to lead off, didn't pull him when he got to 2nd, but he pulled him after they walked Connor with 2 outs. I think like us they wanted to keep him in the game if they could. At that point I would have left him alone.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:09 PM) If you're going to PR for Abreu, you have to do it at the beginning of the inning. Then, perhaps he is at 3rd, in this situation. Weird to make the change with 2 outs.. I think they were hoping to keep him in with station to station but then hoped for the single at the end. Not my favorite move either.

Oh Paulie. Why roll that over.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:07 PM) And Abreu lifted for pinch runner. Hoping for that little half swing by Paulie.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:00 PM) Dunn supposedly battling a sore hand/wrist. DJ questioning why he's still out there trying to hit when he seems to be hurting. Adam's numbers are really starting to nosedive, along with Beckham's.....which of course is perfect for trade deadline time. He will get a nice talking to about mentioning that on the air.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 03:54 PM) Honestly, we'd be better off with Rodon as the closer than anyone else we have in the organization. Might as well go with the Chris Sale 2010 plan. It's a crapshoot at this point. The 9th is poison.

If you are managing this team, what can you do? This pen is crazy unclutch

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 03:49 PM) What happened? Everything you could imagine that could go wrong.

Lol.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 03:40 PM) Sigh. Hung a change-up to Hart. This isn't going well. Don't believe Hahn in his wildest imagination believed the bullpen would have THIS many struggles to close games out this year, rebuilding year or not. Well, injuries.
