QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2011 -> 03:24 PM) Lilly and Omar are up in the bottom of the ninth? Now those are 2 scary hitters. AJ is the least likely option of the potential three hitters coming up to do anything. the way this season is going this game will end up coming down to juan pierre

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) Or Quentin, just like in 2009, had a good home run stretch during April and started having bad mechanics as he started dropping his back shoulder more and popped up a lot to right. which is a common thing with the white sox at that park that is never corrected.

the ole infield pop up Quentin has turned into joe Crede

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 4, 2011 -> 03:09 PM) Setting up for the inninf ending DP i see... I call soft fly to right followed by a grounder to short

guillen does nothing strategically to win a game. Beckham really should have hit for Omar as at least maybe, just maybe Beckham could run into one.

A manager's job is to put players in a position to succeed. Guillen does not do this. Wheather it is the one pitch closer, the repetitive bunting by guys that can not bunt or the stealing ad nuseum. They never call for a pitch out, hit and run or make personnel changes. He never makes a move to win a game via personnel or strategically.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) 2-2-0-0-2-2-2 That's the number of runs given up in the 6th in each of Danks' starts. Not sure how many are earned, but that's not Javy-bad. What are the first five innigns of those starts? The guys is a good pitcher he just can not go more than 6 innings on a consistent basis. His career averge innigns per start is 6.06 I get the feeling the last 13 will be retired in a row for Perkins, Nathan and Capps...maybe a ball or two will leavethe infield. No worries the BABIP has to get better.

Hey come Ramirez worked the count there and saw 11 pitches.

you can send this one to Copperstown another intentional walk that does nothing but give up another run anyone think a legitimate bench coach may help this team

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:25 PM) This is truly the worst managed team I've seen in baseball in a long time. Terrible fundamentals and strategy all around. This has to be Ozzie's last game. he really should have the balls to resign after watching this His team is not ready to play the game that is obvious yet they are doing nothign to address it.

Instead of trying to steal out of a slump why not just put Lillibridge and Teahen out there and see what happens...because Juan Pierre is the ideal baseball player for Ozzie Guillen and.....well I am not sure why Morel is still up.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ May 4, 2011 -> 02:15 PM) 2011 Sox BABIP is insanely low. That is because they swing at s*** pitches that are not hit hard. BABIP to me is a stupid stat as good hitters will have a high average becasue they are good hitters and hit the ball hard consistently and do not pop out on the inifeld or hit the chopper two hopper. A good hitter fouls off tough pitches and looks for a pitch to drive. bad hitters swing at the first strike they see and weakly hit it in play for a neasy out. This is what I call giving away at-bats. The Sox do that far more than the opposition under Greg Walker and Ozzie Guillen.

Saw on ESPN that Liraino had the second highest ERA of all time for a pitcher to throw a no-hitter (minuimum 3 starts) and the only one in teh top six since 1953. That will do wonders for the ole BABIP when you only strike twice as well.

Danks at 40 pitches through two innings. Hopefully he can give us his careeer average of six innings per start today.

Should be over by 3:30 I hope I don't stuck in the game day traffic........oh wait, 5,000 folks do make a traffic jam on the Dan Ryan. I really do not even care any more as sad as that is. This team does not seem to care so neither do I.

QUOTE (Cali @ May 3, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) If nothing happens tonight or Thursday it's a slap to all of our faces. exactly

may 2nd and baseball is an afterthought

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 3, 2011 -> 03:02 PM) Why do I get the feeling this is the game that turns Liriano's season around? called it though not hard to do

it is early yet maybe someone will stand up and get pissed

regardless of the outcome throwing 120 pitches in this weather is not good for the arm. Ask Kerry Wood again something needs to be done

Why do I get the feeling this is the game that turns Liriano's season around?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 3, 2011 -> 09:15 AM) JJ Putz? Andruw Jones? MARK KOTSAY? Guys keep coming back because they get paid. you really think they wanted to retain Jones and Kotsay?

If the clubhouse is such a trainwreck with the Ozzie's and AJ's why do guys keep coming back, the nice weather?.....who was the last Sox player that left that the Sox wanted to retain?

I can see the Sox going 25-5 against Cleveland and KC if their starting pitchers lives up to their potential. I could also see them going 12-18. This team is way to inconsistent.

The stolen base in the third started the scoring. Guillen will think that is bigger than it actually may have been. The fact Pierre can not steal a base is killing that aspect of the Sox game. Sale needs to be sent down to start and regain his confidence they do not need three lefties if Thorton is not closing as Crain is as good as any leftie they have against LHH. Ohman is also doing a good job. Mark's ERA is 4.37 maybe he ain't dead yet.
