And Carlos Quentin . . . is limping.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 07:46 PM) Alexei fired a rocket at Nix's waist from about 20 feet. No excuse for that throw to not be at the chest. Ramirez blows dick at short.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 06:35 PM) I would hate to see us give up prospects if we are 4-5 games out. I wonder what kind of return we could get for Dye considering what STL got for Holliday. I'll bite. Michael Dubee.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 06:31 PM) We didn't hit anything hard after the 6th inning or so. Basically the story of our season. And any road game at the end of last season. Again, our big-swinging experienced guys are, well, a little choke-y on the road, in these types of games.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 06:12 PM) This is just like the end of last year. We had the chance to make some serious damage in this division, if we took the initiative and won a few damn games. Get on the road, under pressure, nd our "savvy veterans" lock up and can't hit.

Thome should have taken that in the noggin . . .

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 06:05 PM) Jenks' July numbers are atrocious. Sorry, but this wasn't a meltdown. f***ing Podsednik was playing in Ontario, Thames broke his bat in two, Granderson hit a ball hard but in the infield. On the other hand, Jenks's stuff actually looked good. Maybe he just needs 4 days between appearances. Oh, if Paul Konerko or Carlos Quentin would like to arrive in Detroit at some point, I'm all for it. Especially Quentin.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 06:04 PM) why'd they throw a fb there? Pitch wasn't the problem. Location was -- out over the plate. f***ing motherf***er.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:35 PM) They are currently middle of the road in the AL if you look at ERA. Yet most observers think it's a real strength. Middle of the road = not a strength.

QUOTE (JohnStamos @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:33 PM) Thorton hasn't exactly been lights out lately either. Noone in our bullpen has been. Even if Thorton gets you out of the 8th unscathed you would probably have to bring in Jenks or Liney in the 9th and then what? You complain Ozzie didn't save Thorton? Our bullpen is the most overrated "on paper" group in the league. Just abysmal.

Let me guess, Liney? Shoulder a little cranky. I know, I know, it'll be fine in time. Same s*** as last year. Same exact s***. Except this time pitched well for one month, not 3.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 03:33 PM) "Mr. Buehrle, the President is on hold." The end of the call: ". . . Once again, great job, Mark. Put Dewayne on."

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 03:31 PM) Replay @ 7pm! Obama is calling for Buehrle. For real.

We officially have the best "on paper only" bullpen in the league. These guys constantly put the team in danger of losing late.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:42 PM) Thanks Jenks. Is it bad that our closer's ERA, almost 60% through the season, is 4.24? Yeah, kinda.

Nix = Terrible at-bat. The best thing you can say about it is that it wasn't a DP. Yay, Nixer.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:39 PM) If Wise gets caught stealing, this board will explode. And Brian Anderson will laugh. In Charlotte, of course.

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:37 PM) CQ looks awful Pretty much guessing up there, although the suck-ass strike zone didn't help.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:36 PM) This ump is horses***. And he's an asshole. Hey, how'd that get through the language filter?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:33 PM) pinch run ozzie Here comes that Dewayne Wise value-added.

I agree with Hawk, for once. That was a ball.

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:31 PM) Howell has been lights out as of late Maybe we'll even get to see noted PED user Grant Balfour.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:30 PM) Plus and I thought he was completely out of position. Since I rarely understand where he's lined up, I won't even comment any more about whether he's in or out of position. I think most of this positioning is done to cover up his inability to move to his right, but who knows . . .

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:25 PM) Wow. Game over probably. This could be a huge loss. You can't do this before you have a rookie make his debut. With the way our starters make their debuts, you can chalk up two losses in a row. I think Ozzie was saving the pen in the 7th and 8th, thinking about Torres tomorrow.
