How the Hell did that just happen? "I don't believe what I just saw!"

MY GOD. We so very much did not deserve to win that game. We deserved to lose this game like 8-1.

NONONONONOT TIMO NOT TIMO NOT TIMO NOT TIMO NOT TIMO NOT TIMO NOT TIMO NOT TIMO NOT TIMO. This is freaking terrible.

I see Everett come up for Iguchi...and suddenly I'm almost certain we're going to lose this game. 1 more bad managerial decision was all it was going to take.

WHY THE HELL IS EVERETT HITTING FOR IGUCHI INSTEAD OF TIMO!! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

If Timo hits for Timo...I'll eat my White Sox hat.

Good, patient at-bat Joe. Good work. Very good recovery from the 0-2. I can live with a walk. Now we just need to stay out of the Double Play.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!! A MAN REACHES 2B!

Maybe the situation here will give Joe a reason to shorten up his swing and actually try to hit it to right. I can dream, can't I?

I'd say 50-50 Joe bunts this ball into a double play.

The dreaded leadoff walk.

3-1, come on Willie, we need this baserunner. Desperately.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ May 30, 2005 -> 03:40 PM) ye? well the game shuda been over with a double-play. not ozzies fault some1 made an error. after the error mayb he shuda had hermy come in, but still he had a tuff decision and it coulda worked out with no error. No, it's not ozzie's fault that Tad mad an error. But it never should have come to that point. You don't let your starting pitcher have a chance to put the winning run on base int he bottom of the 9th. When you have a closer, and you're in the 9th inning, if your starter lets a guy get on base, you bring in that damn closer. You do not let it get to 1st and 2nd. You simply do not. And then you certainly don't dick around with a lefty-righty matchup instead of going with your closer who has been on fire. Both of those are terrible moves.

I'm going to give us 5 to 1 odds against us having a single baserunner in the bottom of the 9th. Any takers?

Hell, let's have Marte walk Finley too...might as well make it 5-3.

I think a bases-loaded walk is a perfect way for us to lose this game. Would basically sum up the whole day.

Well, it sure didn't take long for our manager to cost us this game.

Oh no...

QUOTE(peanut33tillman @ May 30, 2005 -> 03:31 PM) Y THE f*** IS HERMANSON NOT IN???? Because both Marte and McPherson are lefties. I would have put my closer in too.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 30, 2005 -> 03:29 PM) I don't know about great, but he's about as close to perfection as it gets this season. Awful decision leaving Mark out there for the ninth. I can understand leaving him out for the 9th. I cannot understand leaving him out there after the first guy got on base.

2 men on...BRING IN THE DAMN CLOSER.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 30, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) Just tuned in: true or false, Frank has a hip something or other? Other than that, we've pissed away a ton of opportunities in this game as it has been a pretty ugly game to watch. They ought to feel awfully lucky with a win like this if they nail it down. True...Hip Flexor.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ May 30, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) Why? Buehrle's pitched well and his pitch count is still good. It's also still fairly early in the season. Our starters have carried us this whole year...there's no reason to keep piling pitches on Buehrle yet. We'll need this guy's arm more in September than we will in May. THis is why you employ a closer.

Leadoff hit...time for Hermanson to come in. Come on Ozzie, this is why you employ closers. What are we, the Cubs?

QUOTE(fathom @ May 30, 2005 -> 03:20 PM) Ozzie never likes to ph for his catchers. It's like he doesn't know how to manage with having 3 catchers on his team. Who's our 3rd catcher? I thought we only had A.J. and Widge.
