QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:21 PM) Well since this game is OVA - we might as well talk about something else. How would you guys like to have Reed Johnson patrolling CF until Jared Mitchell or Danks is ready? Are you the same guy that was touting this idea earlier today? Reed Johnson is not good.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:15 PM) Would you care if you knew you had the best job security in the world? You have Ozzie basically questioning his General Manager in the media as if he's begging for a fight. I do not think Guillen wanted Beckham here and this is the breaking point. I also think Guillen is getting a little to full of himself and thinks he would be a better GM or build a team that he wants. Something seems off this whole year with the decision making process as an organization as a whole. I can not truly beleive that both Guillen and KW thought Wise wasa good option..... Sadly the next two days will expose this team for what it is. I would be shocked if either game is decided by less than 5 runs. Then off to the NL where the Sox lineup will consist of 4 MLB caliber hitters which Podesednik is one of. I do not consider AJ to be a theat any longer. He has 12 RBI and seems to have no plan at the plate.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:09 PM) A horses*** team with a horses*** manager. It really is sad that the manager of the White Sox seems to not really care if games are won or lost based on his decisions. I almost believe that the entire coaching staff has completely shut down. The positioning of players appears to be non-existant and any in game managing is non-existent. I thought they should have hit and run with Pods and Ramirez on and a 1-2 on Dye as he was not havinga good at-bat. Aj is having as bada yearas anyone...I know he is hitting .300. His defense is abysmal.

Time to blow it up. They are going to be shut out tomorrow and Thursday. At least they are deep at catcher now. Think they will move Flowers or AJ?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 03:22 PM) Even if Fields made some errors with the media, Willis is a perfect guy for him to mash and he's a much better hitter than Nix. I'd prefer Becks at 2B where he will play the next several years and fields at 3B. So was Bonderman. I am not sure of the direction this team has taken.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 03:50 PM) He is on pace to strike out 7000 times this year. Wise, Anderson and Fields are all averaging a strike out once every three at-bats. Ya that's good.

That first pitch swinging only works when Colon is pitching.

Ozzie Guillen is proving to be a brutal in game manager. Why are defensive replacements never an option? Wise and Fields suck there is no reason why Anderson and Nix are not in there for defensive reasons. They each should have hit in the 8th as they can hit fastballs they can not hit breaking pithces.

Sox have allowed 16 base runners in this game. Well at least they mouted a comeback and the bullpen will be fresh for the 2 innings Contreras goes tonight.

Wise DFA bring up Danks/Kroeger/Cook/ play a man short Fields sent down bring up Lillibridge/Retherford/ Play a man short

Sadly this ballgame is over

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 03:11 PM) Expect reactions like you have been getting for the exact same reason. Nice outing by Galaraga. He could have folded early, but manned up and threw something close to 120 pitches. Sox inability is more like it. Any patience from the three pitchers at the bottom of the order and he only goes 6.

The pitcher is at 118 pitches and the Sox are giving away outs......

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 03:07 PM) You panicky guys are hilarious. He's been getting better and better for weeks, but one AB and he deserves to be benched? Seriously? LOL Why are guys continuiosly asked to do things thay are not capable of?

I get berated on this site for asking Beckham to bunt last Thursday during a shutout yet Ramirez who has pop is asked to bunt unsuccessfully time and again. The stupidity of this team is almost surreal.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 03:04 PM) No, he's really not. We need Pods in CF ASAP, and put Anderson on the bench and DFA Wise. When Quentin comes back sure but until then that is the best there is unless Lillibridge came back up. I'll take Danks over Anderson or Wise, he can not be any worse.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 03:02 PM) That was a hell of a call. This ump is really bad. What'd he do?

QUOTE (kane0730 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 02:55 PM) Just play BA. Both are terrible with the bat, and practially automatic outs. But at least BA has a better glove. A healthy CQ is really what this team needs. BA is fine if he bats 9th which he would have in this game. Would Anderson have had a shot at the runner that tagged from third on the sac fly?

The real sad thing about Wise is these are his career numbers. I really need to begin to question the decision making of the White Sox if they are that ignorant in regard to the talent of D'Wayne Wise.

Neither team looking too good right now.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 02:43 PM) Well that was quick DJ. It is amazing how much better he is in a blow out versus a close game. At some point a starter getting through 6 or 7 innings would be nice.

I would like to blame this on Carraso but he has pitched too well this year.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 02:38 PM) The Sox are hitting .350 today. 5-9 are 1 for 10 1-4 are 6 for 10 Explains everything right there. The Ramirez DP is the killer. Sardines has two sacrifices why can't out .200 and below hitters have productive outs. Jordan Danks could be no worse than D'Wayne Wise

How did Detroit not bring up Dolci for this series alone

Josh Fields needs to get the job done there. He fits right in with the low baseball I.Q. that is the White Sox.
