Vizquel is now our DH, which is bad, but not quite as bad as last year when Ozzie started him in that position. Yes, that actually happened.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:04 AM) There was the slider Damn, good call on that.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:58 PM) Walks are not as majestic as the pop-out. Majesty, thy name is Chen.

AL Central, baby!

Hmm. Pretty good numbers there for Cabrera with the bases loaded.

The White Sox are constantly working against themselves. Just unreal to watch them play this year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:52 PM) If this follows the pattern of other Sox extra innings home losses over the years, a double will clear the bases. Followed by a ballpark full of desperate, drunken swearing at Ozzie . . .

And the always-late Don Cooper emerges . . .

God, Crain is jumping around everywhere out there.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:28 PM) Crain's got nothing left. Ozzie used up all the Crain in the first half. Crainbrink

I always like the part of a long game where you can hear random drunks yelling in an increasingly empty ballpark. We're there now. Good times.

QUOTE (chiguy79 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:25 PM) We have had winning run in scoring position last four innings with nothing to show for it. Except anger, of course.

Lost in the shuffle: Tyler Flowers broke his bat and still hit the s*** out of the ball. That dude is seriously strong.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:18 PM) Leadoff triple doesn't score due to moron ball. Dear Hobbit. The run on 3rd is the only run that counts. Brent was just trying to get a good jump and break up the double play on the line drive . . .

QUOTE (MAX @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:18 PM) lol. That was so bad its funny. Have to admit: I did laugh when that happened. This team is a clustercluster.

Respect for the bunting ability of the Bridge, yyyeeeesss!

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:05 PM) It's Matt Thornton, a fielder must kick the ball or he doesn't get credit for the appearance. Pierre's getting warmed up in left . . .

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:01 PM) Well thank god we have mr. Baseball leading off the bottom of this inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:59 PM) Gosh we're a bunch of chokers. Ozzie looks awfully tight on that bench. Not sure that's helping.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:54 PM) But Rios may cry and he is a vet. Vets crying is not good for baseball. Especially super-effective, hustling vets.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:45 PM) How does Thornton not have a single win all season long? Combo platter: He's bad -- plus we have no offense to score in the late innings, so when he blows a lead he doesn't bet taken off the hook with a win.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:34 PM) BTW, Cooper waiting way too long to go out to the mound and calm down Santos. He should have been out there after ball 1 to Brantley, as it was obvious Santos was overthrowing. Yep. Sergio was opening up from the minute he got on the mound. But no Cooper . . .

High-fastball to Beckham? Check. Beckham swinging at air? Check. Dude who's had the same hole in his swing for 2 years? Check.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:29 PM) It's AMAZING with Rios and Dunn. They have literally cursed this team. Every time they have any kind of chance to help, they fail. EPIC FAIL. It's high-time. Put either Rios or Dunn's ass on the DL, and get Viciedo up here. The acceptance of their performances needs to stop -- NOW.

QUOTE (TheCut87 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 10:29 PM) My problem is de aza looks like he wants to be there rios just doesn't give a damn anymore
