Greg The Bull Luzinski

Scoring less than two runs is inexcusable. Except for the fact that Uribe, Anderson, and Freddy are due up.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 07:37 PM) Holy s***, he hit a line drive to right. Everyone get the f***ing memo. Hit the other way. Thanks for forwarding that memo SSI.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 07:35 PM) Road sweeps are incredibly difficult and rare, no matter what the team. Unless you are the Tigers who never seem to lose.

Perhaps we can get lucky and face the Tiger bullpen after a long rain delay, because we don't have a prayer against Maholm.

ehhh, what the difference between a rain shortened 3-0 loss versus a rain shortened 2-0 loss? Not much.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 07:27 PM) No way. We kicked their ass, but just played stupid and with no focus. Which is the reason they pretty much played better, ... though not good enough to win.

*Speechless*

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 07:24 PM) The Pirates suck. In the past, we would have problems because the teams we were chasing would dominate the weak teams, and we would lose games to those weak teams that we shouldn't have. However, the Pirates have clearly outplayed us tonight so far. The pretty much outplayed us last night too.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 07:23 PM) Way to keep trying to pull the ball. Just an awful approach at the plate by our guys tonight. What? Trying to pull a change up away does not work?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 07:20 PM) The sad thing, is that everyone including the team agrees that this is going to go down to end. So every game in important. But we drop games to the Royals, we drop them to the Rays, we drop them to crap. While everyone else is just making them sweep and go away. Someone needs to light a fire under this teams ass when they play crappy teams. Freddy is throwing curveballs to get to a full count to the pitcher. Thats sad. Its the Danny Tardabull Syndrome. A homerun when you are up by ten does not make you a good hitter. It also does not make you win tomorrow's game. Hit it when it counts.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) This is pathetic. The tigers will rape this team, and pound them because they got the message, sweep crappy teams. We fart around and f*** around, and drop this because we lolly gag and sleep walk through a game with a pitcher that everyone else hits, except for us. Why, because he throws a changeup away and our guys are waiting for the hotel bar. Hit the f***ing ball already, this guy sucks. f***ing 2 hits only. Hey world champs, the rain is not that far away. Hit the ball or you will lose a rain shortened game. I would have trouble saying it any better.

one pitch AB for BA

Will the sox see over 10 pitches next inning?

THIS IS f***ING s***. MAHOLM HAS NOT EVEN THROWN 60 PITCHES. DO WE ACTUALLY SCOUT PITCHERS OUTSIDE OF THE UPPER ECHELON OF THE LEAGUE? I SURE AM GLAD FREDDY IS MAKING SOLID CONTACT, BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE SEEMS TO HAVE A CLUE.

AJ looks cluesless against Maholm.

:banghead 7 Pirate hits, 2 White Sox hits.

Pwned by the Pirates.

This is embarassing.

GET THE PITCHER OUT!!!

QUOTE(soxunited @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 06:54 PM) That was a good call and yes the Sox appear a lot slower ever since the arrived in Pittsburgh ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Also known as "playing down to the competition". As was the case last night.

I don't like the direction this game is going. Maholm looks like the best thing since Anthony Reyes.

Burnitz has to be one of the most fundamentally stupid players in the game. Like Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridge Mount High in a baseball uniform.

This is gonna get ugly.

Aside from Dye, Freddy may have made the most solid contact with Maholm thus far. Not good.

Right here Brian Anderson continues the march toward .200
