Milkman delivers

Great game for Garcia. Sadly, he might just get the Jose Contreras treatment.

Well, at least we managed to grind out a run against a sure-fire Cy Young winner in Aaron Small. Now we just gotta get to Gordon and Rivera.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS Pods avoids the golden sombrero.

Man, Vizquel would look great right about now.

Uribe's play in the 1st is looking even bigger right now.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) Yep, Mussina's 4.01 ERA is truly pitiful, so is Chacon's 3.53 (that inclues 7 games at Coors), and Smal'ls 2.77 Look, I'm not defending the offense but don't bash it for dumb s*** Scrap heap pitchers, besides Mussina. And every one of them lowered their ERA against the Sox. I'd be happy if we hit them to their ERAs.

Yankee pitchers suck, and we've looked pretty bad against them. 5 runs in three games so far.

I think we can scrounge up more than 1 run against Small, no matter how great he is.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:20 PM) He's the most overrated player on Soxtalk. Everybody loves his stolen bases, but not only can he not drive home runs, he doesn't score that many. He's completely worthless right now. He better get his head out of his ass soon.

Aaron Small was a career minor leaguer for 10 years. There's a reason for it. I'm guessing a lot of teams are trying to hit 700 foot bombs off of him.

I'd just like to point out that this is Aaron Small.

Uribe is worthless.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) its not that big of a deal, milkman knows. Ha, is it ok if I tell them?

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) Let me fix your post? what are you talking about? He fixed your grammar mistake.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) When was the last time we caught someone stealing? Not to take anything away from AJ, but he just tends to just hold on to the ball. He has no chance with Duque or Contreras on the mound.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) I want to see on the scroll for ESPN... White Sox OF Carl Everett placed on 15 day DL (Team offense sucks so bad, being saved for playoffs) They should encase him like Jabba did with Han Solo and thaw him out the last week of September That might not work so well. Han was blind for a few days.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) You. Can't. Give. Up. Hits. To. The. s***. In. A. Lineup. Like. This. Like Marte giving up a hit to Tino Martinez, whose average against lefties was like .150?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) This offense is so bad. Uribe K's. I am soooo glad we gave this mope a 3 year contract. Yeah, it's bad. That's putting it lightly.

1 ER in the first inning is good for Freddy. He hasn't had a really good start in a long while, he's due.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) Small throws 23 pitches despite dumbass shiny face swinging 1st pitch. Whoever could you mean?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 11:44 AM) And this is "proven" by 286 ABs, that's all I need to know. How many ABs has he sucked with in the minors?

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) This is a Mariotti trick IMO. He builds people up then when they fail he slams them. I believe he did this last year right before the Twins kicked the s*** out of the Sox, then after he ripped Manuel to shreds after building him up That Jay Mariotti is an idiot. He didn't even know Ozzie Guillen was our manager last year.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 11:11 AM) I know you are sick of this arguement. Coincidentally, I am sick of people who overreact to things based on a limited sample size. Garland started half a season for the Sox his first year up here and had an era of 6.50 with horrific proiferals. As recently as last year he has an era just short of 5.00, with a WHIP of near 1.50. I guess we should have thrown him under the bus as well. Right now Borchard has played exactly 93 games at the major league level or just over half a season. Personally I don't think he will ever come near his potential, but to say he has "proven" that he can't hit .200 at the major league level based on 286 ABs is pretty incredible. By that logic this roster alone would look a whole lot different. Borchard can't hit .200 at the ML level and he can hardly hit .250 in the minors. Averages don't rise from the minors to the majors. This isn't reactionary, this is fact. The guy was cut from the god damn Mexican league. He is a total and complete bust.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) Up until this year Garland had only proven that he was a mediocre pitcher, in way more time in the majors, but that logic. It is way too early to say that Borchard has proven anything in reality. I'm sick of this argument. Garland has at least been decent in his ML career. He was winning 12 games with a mid 4's ERA. Borchard has been garbage in the ML and has been slightly better than garbage in the minors. The guy struggles to hit .250 in AAA, he sucks. But you're just gonna say this is an ignorant statement, so I'll just give up and admit that Borchard will not suck one day.

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 10:32 AM) If he could hit .250/10/35 I'd be happy with that production. Except he can't. The guy cannot break .200, and he's proven it.
