At least get A.J. on for Paulie. Who knows after that.

Dye swing at ball 2. Hey Jermaine, the tying run still only comes up if you homer or walk here.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 10:13 PM) Would anyone else consider PHing here with Rivera coming in to pitch? If we had anybody on the bench I would.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 10:12 PM) A three run walk? He coulda hit it to the proverbial 3rd lane of the Dan Ryan and the tying run is still only on deck. The walk works.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 10:11 PM) We need a clutch walk right here. Ahh Jim you are always good for one of those, but here comes Rivera to get Dye to GIDP and end it.

We need a clutch walk right here.

Hawk is just brutal this half inning.

Owens now has 7 hits and 0 walks(!!!!) in 31 major league at bats.

Hawk making me laugh for once talking about his drink a screwdriver and then run like hell rehab program from his playing days. Day gets the popout to right to end the inning.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 09:58 PM) Wouldn't tonight have been a good night to get Prinz some game action? KW should be absolutely ashamed of this pathetic team he put together. Fixed.

That is what happens when you go 3-0 to a future hall of famer, Dewon. And to think he was about to finish off another nice outing.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 09:51 PM) Low and high, fouled off. Ahh yes the dreaded low AND high pitch. I see your point though and your right about his AB.

The amount of pitches to hit we do nothing with is amazing.

Uribe has got 2 cookies this at bat, and 2 foul offs. Argh.

Here comes Hawk b****ing "what a difference that 2-0 pitch makes". Please retire, Hawk. Nice slide Paulie, lol.

HR here makes it exciting at least. Bases loaded 1 out, and a good guy to have up these days in Mackowiak. Do something damnit.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 09:39 PM) The Brewers might be the most talented young team in baseball, position prospect wise...along w/ the D-Rays, D-Backs, Angels and a couple of others. Don't forget Florida. Willingham, Cabrera, Ramirez, Uggla, Hermida, Jacobs (although injuries are killing them).

Speaking of the Angels, Reggie Willits is a REAL lead off man. .324 AVG, .419 OBP, 13 for 15 in steals.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 09:36 PM) I have been about the most optimistic and glass half-full White Sox since I truly became a fan. But the lack of organizational talent is just astounding. For a team with the Sox's budget, we have no minor league signings of top free agents. We give big money to guys who will do absolutely nothing like Gomes and Po-Sin Lee who now somehow only throws in the mid 80's. We are not a great run organization, simply put. I am sorry if I sound whiny, but being so optimistic for so long is just frustrating. Umm we did win a World Series 2 years ago. This season is hopeless, but this franchise is not.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 09:37 PM) Wang and Irabu were signed out of Asia. What have Cabrera, Rivera, Taylor, and Henson done to warrant any praise? Yep and as for the rest of those guys, Contreras was a Cuban defect that sucked for them, Matsui is from Asia as well, and the rest of those guys came up a decade or so ago now.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 09:33 PM) Yeah because the Yankees dont have unlimited funds to go and buy it. We dont have unlimited funds. You could have the GDP of the European Union and it doesn't matter if you can't develop players. There is a reason the Yankees haven't won in 7 years now. Nice job Dewon, keep yourself up here and throw well buddy.

What a pitch, and an interesting flip by Tadahito.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 09:32 PM) i'm not arguing that changes don't need to be made. i just think people can get carried away sometimes. and i also don't think the yankees have continually produced solid big league players. Agreed on all counts. The Yankees have had maybe the worst minor league system in the game for 5 years now.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 09:29 PM) Hell, I would so much rather be the Devil Rays organization right now. Hell I'd rather be the Cubs. They have Felix Pie, Shawn Marshall, and Rich Hill. Come on man, back off the ledge....I'm not even at that level yet.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 09:26 PM) I totally forgot about Reed, but he was rated the second best prospect in baseball one year behind Joe Mauer by Baseball Prospectus. We have more busts as prospects than any other organizations, maybe along with the Cubs. Reed was the only reason we got Freddy, so I'm not going there.
