Wow. Defense kills us again.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:59 PM) I think with everyone getting caught up in the acquisition of Alex Rios is almost everyone forgot about the fact that he sucks. First off...he doesn't suck. I think everyone just needs to relax a little bit.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:55 PM) Do Hawk and Stoney even bother to check where the defenders are positioned? Beckham and Thome's were going right to the infielder regardless of the hop. Not sure where the booth is in Seattle to affect their sightlines...but yeah both of those were going to be outs regardless of hitting the pitcher/mound.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:53 PM) 0-4. Welcome to the White Sox. Enjoy your money. In his defense...he at least made some contact against Felix. Most of our righties looked ridiculously bad against him.

QUOTE (joeynach @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:51 PM) Not sure if I bring back Buehrle, looks like 3rd time through they are starting to get to him. No need to risk his nice outing. Id go str8 to my A squad in the pen for a few innings with an off day tomorrow. I would start Buerhle in the inning with a guy warming up. 8-9-1 coming up for the M's.

King out, White in. Yay. Minor victory there.

C'mon guys!! Lets get some runs!

Branyon smoked that.

What happened to the low strike?

Hopefully Wakamatsu doesn't want to extend the King too much and that is all for him.

*Sigh*

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:38 PM) Pathetic, you have to make contact in that at bat. That is what happens when your 2nd least productive hitter leads off.

When Bacon gets up he should look for 1st pitch fastball.

That was foul? Really?

im telling you...with almost every righty he has gone fastball, curve. Go after him.

wow that ball died.

Righties should be looking for 1st pitch fastball. After that they have had no chance.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) Rios batting 3rd and playing right field is probably the worst utilization of his abilities. Let's hope this isn't the norm with him this season. I completely agree. He should play CF and bat probably 6th.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:18 PM) hawk and santo need to do an interleague game together one time. That would probably be unlistenable. Could we add Bill Melton as a 3rd man in the booth to add to the boobery.

More on Ozzie choices today..... Why is the defensive lineup not: Pods LF Rios CF Quentin RF Doesn't that make more sense?

Wow. Defense, defense, defense kept this game scoreless. With our defense it would 1-0 or 2-0 Mariners after that inning.

Good thing that wasnt fair. Beltre would have somehow turned a DP on that.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:10 PM) Rios you might as well get your first RBI. Please? Pretty please?

Rob Johnson needs a new mitt. Or just needs to learn how to catch.

Need another base hit up the middle.
