QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ May 18, 2007 -> 03:54 PM) Since Dumpster had a blow up yesterday he probaly strike out the side against us With only a 1 run lead, if something happened with one of the first 2 hitters, he might have fallen apart. With runs to work with and an offense that simply has a tough time scoring, he should be fine.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 18, 2007 -> 03:53 PM) Some bullpen we have....is that three guys with an ERA above 6? But they all throw 95. If you add a few MPHs on to their real velocity.

QUOTE(JohnCangelosi @ May 18, 2007 -> 03:51 PM) Admittedly the cubs have gotten a bunch of cheap hits but the decisions made by Guillen to KEEP FU*&ING MACDOUGAL IN IS FU*&ING GOD DAMN INEXCUSABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Giving Dempster a couple of runs to work with is inexcusable. But there are those that really think Ozzie Guillen is 100% the reason the Sox won the WS in 2005.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 18, 2007 -> 03:43 PM) I mean, atleast a 1 run loss is respectable. But now we're going to lose by 3+ to the f***ing Cubs. :puke losses to the Cubs are never respectable

Toby Hall is a DH. The run that scored on the pitch that got away should have been handled and that throw was awful.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 18, 2007 -> 02:11 PM) Mark is laboring to get outs. At least he's not like he was his last appearance on this mound.

QUOTE(G&T @ May 18, 2007 -> 02:05 PM) Wow. That might be the worst AB I've seen this year from PK. And that says a lot. He's been fanning at a big clip this season. The wierd thing is that he fanned less than he normally does his one bad season.

Buerhle needs to shut them down here, and the Sox should score a couple next inning. Toby Hall will be stepping to the plate.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 18, 2007 -> 02:03 PM) I think the wind is blowing out to left. Best yet, it shut Hawk up in the middle of another boring rant. I wonder what kind of success Yaz had against Catfish.

JD is starting to heat up. He probably has been ignoring Walker.

QUOTE(G&T @ May 18, 2007 -> 01:56 PM) Murton strikes out. 2 out. I'm surprised Barrett hasn't tested Hall. Buerhle's good move is the only thing keeping the runners from moving.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ May 18, 2007 -> 01:54 PM) Cubs batters will cry about every called strike today. Sounds like Hawk everytime the Sox are trailing.

I really hate Barrett. Anyone sees the t-shirts they are hawking near the 35th St. red line? Make the world a nicer place, punch a Cubs fan in the face.

At least this turns the line-up over.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2007 -> 01:45 PM) Hey, hey Toby Hall fits right in! Walker already screwed him up.

How can Toby Hall make an out? From what I've read, he's impossible to get out.

The Sox have lit up Lilly before.

QUOTE(G&T @ May 18, 2007 -> 01:39 PM) Walk for Iguchi. 1st and 2nd Iguchi goes from batting 9th to batting 5th. No wonder the Sox suck against LHP.

QUOTE(Balance @ May 18, 2007 -> 01:37 PM) Good speed aboard.... If Hall was catching for the Cubs, I might send him.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ May 18, 2007 -> 01:05 PM) yea...comcast sux.. wish hawk and dj were on wgn today. you could always listen to Kermit the frog on WGN with Brenly.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ May 18, 2007 -> 10:28 AM) Ozzie don't take no crap. North is crap. Maybe he is, but he's the main guy on the White Sox flagship, and does have a good relationship with JR. Sometimes its just better to keep your mouth shut, or if you have a problem with him, call him when he's not on the air. Its not surprising Ozzie is a big fan of the Jerry Springer Show.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 18, 2007 -> 10:11 AM) Protecting his players. He's very protective, you know that. I think Brandon McCarthy and Brian Anderson would disagree with you.

I just don't understand why the White Sox let the media bother them so much. What did Ozzie think he would accomplish by calling in and arguing on the air?

QUOTE(fathom @ May 18, 2007 -> 09:49 AM) If you're going to play a catcher who can't throw, there's probably no better guy to have on the mound than Buehrle. He either picks guys off or they get a HUGE jump against him. I'm not one to defend Ozzie, but if this was legit, then I have no problem with him going off on Mike North. Hall also could catch for Contreras, because Johnny Bench in his prime couldn't gun down any runners when he's pitching. After seeing Hall throw 2 weeks ago, its amazing to me he's playing at all. He really couldn't throw Konerko out on a pitchout back then. He must have improved greatly.

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 17, 2007 -> 07:02 PM) We've brought up guys for this same series before. McCarthy. He did pretty well too. A windblown homer beat him.
