Well, now the game is over. And we can't say we didn't have chances.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 25, 2011 -> 04:44 PM) Damnit Omar!!! Nothing Omar could have done. That ball should have been caught.

How about a wild pitch here now?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 25, 2011 -> 04:43 PM) PR for Konerko? Um, why not Quentin? He's the tying run... The DP, that's why.

Very wild, this Feliz.

COME ON DAMNIT ALEXIS

QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ May 25, 2011 -> 04:40 PM) 6 straight balls by Feliz. After Alexei swung at pitch 1.

Do we have a reasonable pinch runner on the bench?

This 9th inning will be quick or quentin. One of the other.

Damnit Alexei, Neftali's walking a guy an inning and Alexei swings first pitch

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 25, 2011 -> 04:34 PM) He's trying to make up for it. Fortunately for him, it sort of worked. To be fair...getting the out from Sale then not giving him the chance to do something wrong isn't exactly a bad move.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 25, 2011 -> 04:34 PM) I don't think Ozzie was looking for Dunn to play small ball, I think he wanted Dunn to blast a ball somewhere deep to get the sac fly. Dunn, however, has no idea how to get a hit off of a LHP, so the obvious result was bad. The problem was...he gave up an out by bunting AJ over to 2b, so yeah, he was looking to play small ball.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) But then you pull him if they bring in a lefty for Omar. Then why not just bring in the switch hitting omar vizquel in the first place?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 25, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) That was the worst piece of managing since the hit-and-run with Dunn at home a couple of games back. Dunn is not a situational small ball hitter yet the Ozeroo thinks he is. Managers are suppossd to put their players in the best poistion to succeed Guillne seems to get hem into the best position to fail McPherson than Vizquel is the right situation there as now McPherson is in the game anyway and Vizquel is the only bat on the bench. Tony Pena...seriously Guillen really does not care about this game. Dallas McPherson is a strikeout machine as well.

Really could use the convergence from the quadratic minimization algorithm

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) What happened? Rios got a terrible break on the fly ball and it went over his head for a ground rule double. Anderson would have had it.

Oh Hell, Pena?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 25, 2011 -> 04:28 PM) Phenomenal outing. 8IP 3 hits, 1 BB and only 1ER? Gavin did his job. And that ER was on the defense also.

Nicely done there Chris

Probably because this solid keeps undergoing a rank phase separation.

Not looking hard though

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 25, 2011 -> 04:21 PM) Which would you prefer, let Morel bat or hit for Dunn? Morel would have had a better shot against the righty.

Let me google that one...

Just close your eyes, you know how it's going to end, just like the Bulls series.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ May 25, 2011 -> 04:18 PM) Could Ozzie have pulled Dunn back and replaced him with someone else in that position. If he did, would Dunn still be eligable or not? Yes, Ozzie could have used a 2nd pinch hitter. No, Dunn would not be available again.
