CYGarland

looks like the Tigers hitters figured out how to hit our starters, take 2 strikes than swing at the meatball coming after that.

Uribe would have made that play easy

QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:26 PM) Another easy inning. And we get to face the unhittable Kenny Rogers tomorrow, cant wait for that one

QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:22 PM) On that note, something is wrong with Thome, there just has to be, and I PK doesn't seem to care about hitting for power anymore. That leaves Dye to do everything with no one on base. Honestly, something looks wrong with Thome and Konerko. If there is something wrong with them, then i agree with Fathom that Oz needs to give each of them a day off and let Gload play.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:18 PM) And this game is over. This f***ing pitching staff... damn 'em. And, because I'm in a crabby mood right now, Free Ryan Sweeney! If Podsednik doesn't get a hit in his next AB, his OPS will fall below .700. That's unacceptable for a guy who isn't a defensive whiz at a non-demanding defensive position. Unacceptable. His OBP will also fall below .330 if he doesn't get on in his next AB. This is a joke. I wouldn't say the game's over YET, but it sure doesn't look good.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:18 PM) We have 1 reliable starting pitcher right now. That's not going to get us anywhere. Yep. This offense needs to wake the f*** up, because our starters just dont have it this year......

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:17 PM) Great time for Contreras to go into the tank. Not to mention the offense.

Yay

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:09 PM) It's not Pods' job to get hits. He's here to be the spark plug by getting on base and wrecking havoc. Why would we want a slower leadoff hitter who might hit better or knock in more runs? Problem is that he doesnt get on base enough, and his D in LF is subpar

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 05:06 PM) I agree. Let Mack face righties and bench Pods when lefties are on the mound. Anyway to keep Mack out of CF works for me.

This offense looks horrible now

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 04:55 PM) It seems like forever since we last consistently hit the ball hard for more than an inning or two in one game. I had no clue PK only had one homer this month...and that was against Mariano. Ozzie might want to start giving them a day off once a week by inserting Gload into the lineup. Seems like Thome, PK, and Crede all have the WTP swings going lately. I know Thome's wrist has been bothering him, and Crede has the back problem, but what's up with PK?

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 04:45 PM) I can't defend him right now. He's been absolutely brutal since the all-star break., I think it might be time to platoon him with Mack

Jose like a pinball machine there. Nice

SO that's how a starting pitcher shuts down a team after getting the lead

HUGE! Now lets get the lead back

Oz needs to have a short leash with Jose tonite, he has nothing so far

Our starting pitching f***ING sucks

It's amazing how fast this staff blows leads.....

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 04:22 PM) i wonder what the odds of destroyit not making the playoffs would be....hmmmmm I would say there's a 40% chance of that at this point, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox and the Twins passed them in the end

Let's see if Mack's O can make up for his lack of CF Skills

At least were taking good hacks against Verlander. Looks like we got his #

JD!!!!!.........Now that 1st inning looks alot worse

QUOTE(Bonderman38 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) Mack in CF.. cool. That's a friggin joke. Oz must have a man crush on Mack or something QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 04:11 PM) bummer, i've got the feed with "rod" allen and the angels castoff, mario something-something. Their Brutal, but at least i can listen to them without getting too pissed off, unlike those bozo's in Minnesota.

Way to run yourselves out of a potentially BIG inning
