QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 07:29 PM) How does Hawk figure Pods would have been out? Mench took about two seconds to get rid of that ball. In Hawk's world, Pods and Ozzie can do no wrong. A sliding catch and he wouldn"t have scored? Give me a break.

the Sox are exactly.500 their last 50 games. They aren't done, but do need offense in a big way. It looks like its going to have to come within.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 04:35 PM) A lead off hitter who's higher than 83rd in baseball in runs scored? Exactly. Steals mean nothing if they don't turn into runs.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) Well its nice to see after a 7 game losing streak, we play okay for a week and then go back to the same type of play that gave us that 7 game losing streak. No pitching + no defense + no hitting(outside of this game) = no playoffs We played ok because we beat Minnesota without Hunter, Jones and Stewart. And beat a last place Seattle team.

Why is it, Buerhle and Garland, supposedly our #1 and #2 pitchers, and supposedly Cy Young candidates, can't ever pitch over an error?

It would be nice if White Sox pitching was able to pitch over an error every now and then.

Blum, KW's trophy deadline pick-up with a 2 base error.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) willie needs to bring his approach from AAA to the big leagues, he looks like a totally different hitter. He has absolutely no confidence when he's hitting. I remember when he first came up Hawk was spouting off how he would eventually hit 20 homers a year. Watching him now, I wonder if he could hit 20 homers a year in batting practice.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) This is a sneak preview of Game 2's starter. Edison Volquez = Edison Clemens. What's the over/under on the inning Hawk proclaims him one of the best young pitchers he's seen come up in some time?

This guy's batting average against is over .370. Hit the ball with authority.

What are the chances of the offense scoring a lot of runs in each of these games? I hope Ozzie doesn't use a Sunday line-up in game 2 against a guy making his major league debut.

Willie fails. Tough to predict.

Is it possible Willie could get a big hit?

tie game, second and 3rd, one out.

Bases loaded, one out. Rowand has to do something here other than strikeout on a pitch low and away.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) Is Hawk still whining about the sign stealing? Yeah, he's reading E-mails about it.

This sign stealing BS is old. Hey Hawk, if the Sox think Texas is stealing signs, why don't they have anyone smart enough on the team to change the f***ing signs?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 03:47 PM) Did Rowand try to throw the runner out at home? Poor throw I'd imagine? No, he went to third, and probably should have had him.

The defense has sucked, but Hawk needs to quit using it as a crutch for our #1 and #2 starters. It would be nice if at least once in a while, they could pitch over an error.

Garland looks like he'd like to be anywhere but on a pitching mound in Arlington, TX.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) Game update? 3-2 Sox , bottom of 2, runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out, Delucci at bat

Blum bobbles, first and second 1 out.
