QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 09:42 PM) 65 pitches through 3 innings Guy's a big baby. Zero concentration. Shaky focus. Has to be talked through the inning like a 5 year old.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) You walk the leadoff hitter in a 4-0 game, and you're asking for this. Yeah, and Hawk and D.J. wanted that 3-2 pitch for Javy. It was a ball. Clearly a ball. Once again, our pitchers give back runs. Clock . . . work.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) Javy looks terrible, again. I'm shocked. I know you are, too.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 09:38 PM) Vazquez looks like crap this inning. He keeps throwing his fastball down in the zone, and it has no life. We're lucky it's not 4-3. Good location to Giambi. Vazquez is an ace.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:21 PM) Speedy wheels runs it down for the 3rd out. Ah, Jermaine. Nerve-wracking, but got it done. Okay.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:16 PM) Man, how many times is this team going to kill the momentum they gained from the night before? Unbelievable. About as many times as our pitchers give back runs from the previous inning. Anyone seeing the splits from these hitters against Garland? Jeez.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) Hopefully Ozzie will learn when to recognize fatigue in a starting pitcher. Those will be good times.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 08:08 PM) Sandy walks? That happens about once every decade. Buehrle's ERA is now 4.89. Trying to pass Garcia.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 3, 2006 -> 09:13 PM) Real bad. Quite the weak attempt at sarcasm. Thanks for being there to police sarcasm. That's real important, and God bless you for saving us from this type of activity.

Great idea with this thread, and let me chime right in here: Javier Vazquez es bad.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) How many other managers in baseball do you think would have replaced Pods with Mackowiak by now? Every third day, that's impossible. Because Mack's in center, where he's the best.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) The whitesox have announced the signing of a prominant sports pyschologist Dr. Ivan Humperlink who will work with Javy to help him get over his phobia with going beyond the 5th inning. Dr. Humperlink believes that after 30 days, he will have Javy beyond the 5th inning or your money back. Dr. Humperlink was recommended to White Sox GM Ken Williams by Pittsburgh GM Dave Littlefield. Littlefield, who had received much criticism for several years of questionable trade deadline deals, had suffered from low self-esteem. Littlefield, however, felt so good after his time with Humperlink that he continued his run of asinine deals today. This result impressed Williams greatly, and Vazquez is reported to be meeting with Humperlink on Wednesday.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:40 PM) PFB laying the foundation for Ozzie leaving Vazquez in for his next start. You are tempted to let him pitch the next inning, you want him to pitch the next inning. "You want Vazquez on that wall. You NEED Vazquez on that wall!"

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:27 PM) They have to be cherry picking the calls here. Some dude calls up to give Singleton props and he is a delight to listen too. Good to know that Singleton can disguise his voice so well.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:25 PM) Okay PFB, they should sweep the Royals. Anything less is a failure. they are horrible. Stop sugar coating it. "I agree with you, and I don't agree with you. This was not an Ozzie loss. This was a performance loss, but they should have been bunting in the 9th."

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:25 PM) Javy's biggest problem is thatr he can never pitch a meaningless game for the Expos again. You're right again. He was so bad there that they moved the franchise. But not before thinking about contracting it first.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:21 PM) PFB "I cant blame ozzie for not pulling Vazquez, I mean if he is cruising through 5 and just loses it. Its kind of hard to explain. Lets just get them next time" I dont think that Rongey actually is in the studio, I think he just hits play on the same crap he used from Javys last start, because it looks to be the same to me. That's pretty smart radio, if you think about it. And we can thank Javier Vazquez for it. Javier . . . YYYEEEESSS!!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:18 PM) Vazquez is the opposite of what a grinder is. A smoother? QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:19 PM) Reality --> We should start Ronge every five days.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:15 PM) They should sign me to be the 5th starter. lol we already know it's going to be a loss so they can save a lot of money by using me. Hawk: "D.J., William Tell is nasty."

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:15 PM) Chris Rangey sure loves making excuses for Vazquez on the post game show. The guy should grow a spine and disagree with Ozzie once in a while. Yes, The Ronge (I refuse to call him The Ranger because I think it's another lame nickname concocted by Ed Farmer) just "can't figure it out" with Javier. Memo to The Ronge: Javier is dogdung.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:10 PM) Atleast Danny was decent enough not to tease you for 4 or 5 innings before crapping his pants. With Wright, you usually knew in the first or second inning he was gonna suck. White Sox Fifth Starters: Managing Expectations for 100 Years

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:08 PM) Except Vazquez ERA needs to be coverted from the metric system to the English system of ERA. Classic. There aren't enough numbers to do that calculation. Maybe in base 9.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:06 PM) I just hate that the Yankees made a huge upgrade today, and it sounds like the Twins will do something prior to the deadline. Yep. And it's so frustrating to have to PROP UP a guy who is getting $9 million a year and cost the best prospect in the farm system. You can bet that Guillen and Cooper are slow on the draw because they can't believe they have to do it either. In my mind, the time to figure it out is past. Start McCarthy or risk losing the rest of the team. Seriously.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 04:04 PM) Javy Vazquez is a more expensive version of the 5th starter by committe. Javier Vazquez is Spanish for Danny Wright.
