QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:48 PM) He got the run home, which is more than I can say for the usual suspects. If AJ is in the two hole, he finds away to line into a double play on the first pitch. My issue is neither are DP candidates so they both should hit away and hope for a seeing eye single it has working out swimingly well none the less.

f***ing right Kotsay with the hit and Konerko with the hustle the fuse is lit boys, the fuse is lit Acata with the guillen impression leaving westbrook in way too long.

first and second nobody out and we play for one with Vizquel up......masterful managing there

cub is losing 6-2 I only bring this up as the BP Cup series begins Friday and any excitment for it is artificially going to need to be created by the media.

You what is sad....how competitive the Sox were against the Jays, Rays, and Twins......

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:23 PM) I don't give a damn who the player is. You take on 3-0 EVERY SINGLE TIME. If you are hitting in general I agree the Sox are not and then need to be aggessive. the thing is they will swing at ball four and take strike one. They swing at the first pitch often, why not then swing 3-0 it is the same philsophy either you work a count or you do not. How often do you see them take first pitch strike then swing at a ball on the second pitch. They have terrible pitch recognition as a team.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:19 PM) GMAFB. How thrilled were we last night when AJ grounded out softly with 3-0? How many 3-0 groundouts do we need? It wasn't 3-0 I actually think the potential is there. This team just looks unprepared or does not care to give any effort.

I think that this can go back to how unprepared this team is in spring training. Guys getting shelled becasue they are working on one pitch and hitters not playing on a regular basis. This team has not been ready to go in the last 4 years. They are the baseball version of Camp Lovie...no desire to do anything other than get out there. Remember a couple of years back when Uribe broke up a double play and you would think the Sox won the pennant. The lifelessness of this team is amazing. Guillen is a shell of his former self......oh and when he is gone we get Joey Cora.......rejoice

The middle of the order next year will be Quentin, Beckham Rios. It is a scary thought but it is what it is. Sadly if Flowers can not hit in the minors they are going to have to try and extend AJ. This team is f***ed if Floyd, Buerhle and Peavy do not get better next year and Danks doesn't figure out how to get through six innings a game. They need to find a 1B, DH and 3B for next year with Teahen moving to the platoon role that Kotsay fills. Whoever thought that Kotsay and Jones could play everyday should be fired.......I think that is Ozzie not KW.

Yesterday I sat out there. Really sad crowd for Saturday fireworks. 30K. A couple things I realized as it was the third game I had attended on the home stand. This team can not get more than 3 hits in an inning. It is amazing how inept they are getting a two out single. Guillen took Peavy out with 96 pitches yet left Buerhle and Danks in there to give up leads.....the only thing I could think of was he was trying to protect a guy that they are going to have for a while. This team is not getting better any time soon. Mitch Talbot is 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA against the Sox and 4-4 with 5.5 or something against the rest of the leage. This tells me that the White Sox do not change their approach to a pitcher and just go about whatever it is they think they can do.

Well Masterson did not have to work extremely hard so Mitch shouldn't have much of an issue if the weather holds off.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 12:46 AM) He's MUCH better than his record suggests. He's got some pretty filthy stuff. That is why I pointed out the ERA

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 10:29 PM) I didn't get to watch the game - saw Kane was a -4. Head up his ass...? Was this as bad as the box score looked? worse nobody played even ok tonight and the remarkable thing is they were 2 inches away from tying it with 30 seconds left

figures d man can't handle the puck

4-3 and then the Flyers come right down and have a great opportunity.

needed the second PP goal

These could be the least exciting cub sox series ever. Ronny Paulion was 0-7 but he hada 4.03 ERA.

all I can say is this officiating needs to really be investigated and it is making these games unwatchable

Now someone should take a run at Pronger Toews is having as bad a series as Kane and is Hossa even out there

This officiating is terrible.

The baseball IQ of this team is zero.........outfielders drop fly balls and hitters give away at bats at an alarming rate.

AJ really is bad at driving in runs

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 09:01 PM) It would be nice to see someone held accountable for an absolute abortion of a season. Why start now it is all the players fault the manager need not put guys in position to succeed. Guillen should be fired because he is stupid enough to think that Mark Kotsay is better than Jim Thome.

Same with Buerhle the other night he accomplished nothing by letting the starter try and get out of it. Now it just makes Santos have to work harder. He really is becoming a terrrible manager.

Why is he hell bent on saving the bullpen????? Same thing with making sure everyone is rested. 3 of 4 years under .500 show me he is not all that great of a manager...I know the players need to perform. This is the second time this week he is allowing the starter to get his ass handed to him.
