So RH hitters are hitting .112 against Cotts. What are the chances if Damon is retired, Ozzie gets Cotts?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) Ozzie makes a relief change, an inning to late. Maybe his pitching change philosophy is like his injury philosophy. You take the inning you should be yanked and add one.

Viz is in

Evidently we have nobody who could pinch hit for Crede who is now 2 for his last 27. I don't hear Hawk wondering where Griffey would play tonight.

Crede is in danger of breaking his consecutive games with pop ups to an infielder streak. He actually has hit it pretty hard tonight.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:22 PM) crede didn't give up a single. No he didn't. But the guy who popped out to him got one with his second chance. The second time in 5 games against Boston he has given someone a second chance because he didn't make a play a pony leaguer would make. And both times it came back to haunt the White Sox. He has been great with the glove for the most part this year, but these huge errors are one reason he won't win a gold glove.

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:19 PM) Mark absolutly sucked ass tonight, but we still have a chance to get the win, so lets show them what the Sox are made of and get this f***en win!!! If Crede learned how to catch a pop up it would be 5-5 right now.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:14 PM) Will someone please wake up Ozzie? The guy has given up 6 earned runs, and 11 hits while having a lot of rockets hit against him. Pull the f***ing pitcher, it's not his night. Is Ozzie waiting for him to give up 8 runs tonight before pulling him? And please don't b**** at me for second guessing or bashing Ozzie....this s*** was beyond predictable and we were saying it after the 6th inning. I think 9 runs and he'll go get him.

Buerhle hasn't pitched over mistakes very well recently.

What is going on?

Paulie isn't going to be able to score on a single to LF. Ramirez plays real shallow.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) Oh yeah, that play by Manny was called an error. And Crede's was not. A quirk in the system.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 06:59 PM) Buehrle's going out for the 7th, isn't he? For sure

Its time to score at least 3 runs off of this slob.

5 runs is tied for the most the Sox have scored the last 10 games.

Should be 5-4.

QUOTE(SouthsideNorthsideFan @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 06:39 PM) but didn't they just love Big Mo Vaughn there? They loved him when he was putting up MVP numbers. If you are struggling, you won't get a break if you have dark skin.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) More s***ty umpiring vs the White Sox Did the umpire say he caught it or that it wasn't tipped?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 06:35 PM) Yes it does, but he's not the first athlete to complain about racism in Boston. Their old owner who Hawk always mentions, Yawkey, was a huge racist. The Red Sox were the last team in baseball to have a black player.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) I've heard nothing recently that suggests Crede's back has gotten worse. We're not the freaking Cubs....just cause a player is doing bad, it's not entirely cause he's injured! Exactly. I haven't heard how bad backs don't allow you to judge pop ups.

Mike Lowell and his bloated contract would look awfully good on the White Sox right now.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 06:28 PM) GREAT CATCH URIBE Crede better f***ing reedem himself at some point I went to Fenway a couple of years ago and they HATE Everett there, worse than Corky is hated at USCF. I also have no idea why I quoted what I quoted to type that in.

Crede's gaffe costs a run again.

The sad thing is Crede probably won't get an error.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) The team that worries me most about claiming Griffey before the Sox is the Angels. They might want him for the same role we do--DH and occasional OFer. Let's hope we hear something soon. I think if the Angels don't grab him, he's ours. The Angels may grab him thinking there is no way he would accept playing there, thus not really risking anything and keeping other teams from acquiring him.
