QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:43 PM) Disagreeing with facts, no. "Allowed?" Well, sure; you can if you want... you're still wrong. Facts like Cabrera was 0/3 on the game and looked bad doing so, Facts like Martinez is hitting .340 with a .936 OPS since coming back from the DL?

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:40 PM) Pitching to Miguel f***ing Cabrera after a leadoff triple with 2 outs and 2 bases free is stupid. Period, Balta. I'm not even arguing this with you. I'm so sick of the copouts with people on this site. Well ****, I'm sorry that no one is allowed to disagree with you. I bow before you.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:38 PM) AJP really should have wasted a pitch with a high fastball there. As I mentioned earlier, Cabrera had to know that a slider was coming there. This is more true. It was a bad call and a bad pitch to a good player.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:36 PM) THAT is a bulls*** cop-out. Period. If nothing else, don't pretend that only a fool would disagree with you. Cabrera looked so bad earlier that I thought about walking Boesch to get to Cabrera.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:32 PM) So let me get this right...Ozzie calls out Rios for his bad body language, and then he doesn't run out a few grounders tonight? I'll be so disappointed if he's in the lineup tomorrow. I mean, PK14 is probably out again tomorrow, so he almost has to be.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) Head prick is Jim Leyland he is an arrogant bastard and never won any big games. Be thankful, he totally bailed out Jackson in this game.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:30 PM) That's just inexcusable, though. How f***ing stupid as a manager do you have to be there??? Even I, probably the biggest Ozzie hater on thisboard, cannot believe that. Then again... he never called an intentional walk on Morneau, why call one on Miggy, right? What a worthless idiot. Seriously, with the way everyone has swung, pitching to Cabrera was the right move. If nothing else, it's not "Worthless idiot" territory. Either that or stand up and call me a worthless idiot.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:29 PM) Peavy Peavy hasn't cost the Sox all that much yet.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:27 PM) You'd think Valverde just won the world series, with that shenanigans If I were in the other dugout, that's the kind of stuff that would really piss me off and make me really get ready to win tomorrow.

Well, when you saw the pitching matchups, this one was obviously the hardest. Jake, you gotta make it sting tomorrow.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) Dunn either swings at everything or takes everything. He's so lost. Well, yeah...either he swings or takes the pitch.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:22 PM) Yet he never hung that pitch to Konerko last year. Cabrera's also far too smart of a hitter to throw the same pitch 4 times to. He had about a 2 month stretch last year where he didn't, and his ERA was under 1 for that stretch.

Swing hard and maybe you'll hit something.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:20 PM) I do agree Crain's hanging far too many sliders this year. He's always done that, that's what's separated him from being a constantly dominant reliever. He'd probably be a closer if he didn't do that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:16 PM) Dear White Sox organization: Victor Martinez is a good player, but he's not one of the best hitters on the planet. Ozzie, have fun explaining that decision on your next job interview. Seriously fathom, you're in on this too? You're just going after him to attack here.

QUOTE (TomPickle @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:14 PM) If you walk Cabrera you could walk Martinez too. There were two bases open. To face Peralta with the bases loaded?

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:11 PM) I mean honestly....WHY THE f*** wouldn't you just pitch around him?!?!? Goddamn.... With the way that they've both looked today, with the roll Martinez is on, with Crain and Cabrera both being righties, walking him is just as much a roll of the dice. Cabrera just won.

****.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:07 PM) I don't care. Good teams win these games. Great pitchers sometimes outdo good teams. The last 2 batters of the 8th inning, he could have faced 2005 Pujols and 2001 Bonds and Verlander'd still have won.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:05 PM) Neither did I. And if we lose 6-0. No problem. But this game was there to be won. And this team can't afford to blow golden opportunities like this. 1st and 3rd, 1 out against Verlander is not a "Golden opportunity". At least not with the s*** that he threw against the next 2.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:05 PM) Why not IBB Boesch to set up a DP? Who is on deck? Their best hitter.

I know it's crazy but hear me out...walking Boesch sets up the double play with Cabrera at the plate...

That needs to be an E-8.

OH COME ON RIOS

D2 2/4, 2 runs scored, 1k.
