QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 09:20 PM) With Encarnacion being their main threat that you have to game plan for, why did Ventura pull Crain (who's just about the best pitcher in baseball against righties)? Just like with Coco Crisp from Saturday, Ventura made Kelly Johnson the center of his managing strategy that inning. Just brutal by Ventura. Guillen seemed to do the same thing maybe it is a cooper philosophy. When a team is not hitting thee bullpen is asked to do to much as it was tonight.

Well at least it is over and the bullpen was overused so the offense could look worse than the AAA blue jay team. If the offense does not find any consistency the next six weeks are going to be very painful.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 09:09 PM) He's out of options and would get claimed. He has shown no reason as to why he was brought up. This game is on the offense not ventura

Septimo is a whole other story but this game is on the hoses*** offense.

Crain again......

Wow no chance this guy has an era over four and is breezing right along

A pinch hit there would not have been the worst thing. Beckham does not even give himself a shot sometimes.

Can't rely on Minny beat this s*** team.

Peavy at a high pitch count already against a really bad team.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 02:58 PM) I'd call that next to meaningless. Vegas lines on individual baseball games are such a 51/49 thing, just by the nature of the game. Home team gets a +20 advantage if the Sox are +120 that is simply the home field advantage. Raod teams are usually +120 to +140 an ace will bring that down of course. Verlander on the road is usually -140 with the home team +120.

He hit he walk off game winner Friday that is the issue here along with the fact he made some very nice catches.

Glad I was wrong about colon breezing right along. Dunn looks like 2011 Dunn right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:35 PM) It is ridiculous he's in the majors. They desperately need a legit back-up 3b with Youk so banged up. For all the good KW has done this year the pathetic bench has not been addressed and you would think that would have been the easy past. The below average fielding no hitting scrappy little players are not helping what so ever.

Any reason why Youkilis is not playing he seems to be hurt just about every other day but why not DH him?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 01:53 PM) Why the f*** does Rey Olmedo have sunglasses on in his MLB.com profile pic? He actually looks like ray charles in that picture. The White Sox really need to get a bench player or two.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:29 PM) Too bad Sale is at 82 pitches already. He MAY go in to the 7th inning. yep and Colon breezing right along.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) There you go. figures....I am really starting to hate Adam Dunn pennant race gets going and he wilts away. Trade him to San Diego or Houston and he may win the triple crown

Hamilton makes it 2-0 Rangers

This has a patented one mistake costing the Sox the game feel to it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 01:49 PM) I have more confidence in Wise to hit the ball hard than anyone else in the lineup besides ADA, Rios and AJ. With Konerko out, Dunn has got to start producing again. Dunn is the difference between this team being a serious contender and being an average team. This offense has been tough to watch for a while now and Dunn sucking in the three spot is the main reason.

well the royals will keep the white sox from the playoffs once again....that series was f***ing pathetic.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 02:45 PM) Mark Gonzales ‏@MDGonzales Dunn working with Jeff Manto on soft toss drill on the field Dunn also hitting off a tee, back to basics that helped in spring training. The ball was on a tee the last two nights and he did nothing with it.

Would be nice if they finally figure out the mystery that is Kansas City Royals pitching every other team in the league has the last two games have been pretty disheartening for the most part.

Pound the f*** out of chen. The Sox need some bench help in the worst way as Youk is to fragile. The bench has sucked all year
