QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) yeah, we suck alright Once again, it's the starting pitching that most have been critical of.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 01:40 PM) What about that single off Marte that won the game? Like someone said in another thread, that's about the only thing he's doing well anymore. Getting some clutch hits. He just can't field, gets caught stealing a little too much, and can't hit unless it's a clutch situation.

Maybe we should stop getting the leadoff hitter on?

Pods...so useless.

Oh man, they just said Vazquez's career average is .214. That's gotta be disheartening for BA.

Niiiiiiice

Fox just said Maddux only has 45 pitches. We'll have to do a better job of scoring or working the count if we want to see that bullpen. Alright, maybe Vazquez has settled in. Just like El Duque last year, I get the feeling Javy will never throw a CG. He throws a whole lot of pitches.

I was on the American Eagle at Six Flags a few years ago. They just have that one padded bar basically that goes over your lap. On the first drop, I had my arms in the air, and then the bar went up two clicks. I was squeezing the bar for the rest of the ride, as you can imagine.

These idiots are wasting every f***ing opportunity. And Crede should've been on 2nd with Pierre's pussy arm.

AJ is so f***ing money leading off an inning.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 01:16 PM) how much of that are the white sox paying, though? you can't blame the white sox for another team previously overpaying for him That's true. But, I'm still going to expect more out of him than that. This guy's talent is through the f***ing roof, but he doesn't seem to know how to use it, or how to keep his frustration under control on the mound.

QUOTE(brijames @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 01:12 PM) If Javy and the pen can hold them to 5 or less I like the Sox chances. I hate thinking like that. Vazquez is making like $10 million. I expect a whole lot more from him than just giving up 5 runs or less. God damn, Dye is so f***ing slow.

Dye really looked bad there. Not good.

Hahahaha, now make 'em pay, Dye.

Iguchi gets on with the single. Make 'em pay, Thome.

And we're on the board. Nicely done, BA.

Vazquez does his job. He's already better than Pods.

Nice, BA with the double. Help your cause here, thrower.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 12:59 PM) Anderson is going to go deep this AB. Deep into the count or deep into the bleachers.

Thank you, AJ. He seems much better this year at throwing out the runners.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 12:52 PM) If he throws his slider low and away to righties on 2 strikes, he would be getting him. He loves his curveball and throws it on 2 strikes a lot. A curve can hang a lot more, a slider just flattens out. Its easier to hit a hanging curve than it is to hit a flattened out slider away. He clearly doesn't know how to pitch. The talent is all there, though. I think he gets to much say when he's on the mound. AJ should call the game, down to every last pitch.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 12:49 PM) There's a difference between legitimate criticism and saying "Maybe we can package him and Anderson for Vizcaino". I can see that one, yes. But, we'll catch s*** for pointing out that Vazquez has no idea how to put hitters away with two strikes, or that he blows up when one thing doesn't go his way, or that he's done this s*** his entire career and it doesn't seem that it's changing.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 12:45 PM) I wish soxtalk posters would learn how to stfu and let the game happen instead of constantly crying about how everyone on our team sucks, but what are you gonna do. The starting pitchers deserve every criticism they get. Two, maybe three, of them have been awful, and one of them is on the mound right now.
