WTF was he playing there for

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) He once punched a magician If he punched you in the face, you'd have to resist the overwhelming urge not to thank him

Paging Beast

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) fathom mentioned this during game 2 of the World Series when Garner brought in Qualls to face Konerko - you don't bring a reliever into a game when he has no room for error whatsoever. It's going to take hella stones for Santos to get out of this mess. He's the life of parties he never even attended.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:05 PM) There's clearly an umpire conspiracy against the Sox. Funny thing is, if that same pitch were ever thrown to a White Sox and the umpire called it a strike, Hawk would say it was clearly inside. If you want to see a bad call, check out Cedarstrom's calling Damon out to end the game with a 3-2 count and the bases loaded in a one run game. It was almost a pitch out. At least he admitted it

I love when I see the opposing hitter hit a line drive but not move from the box

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) It's pretty ugly. WAY too much green toward the middle of that box. What does it look like for Lerew?

Sharks have a week dedicated to him...

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 08:58 PM) There was a certain radio personality that made it seem that it was ok to not worry about the DH, as it's very easy to find someone if you need to trade. My favorite was when people would call this person's radio show and tell them that midseason acquisitions rarely have a big impact...and this person was stumped. Come on now Fathom, one player is not going to mean the difference between winning and losing...

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) Soria is 13/14 in save situations lifetime vs Sox, about half of his total outings vs us have been of the perfect variety. Yeah, next inning is going to have to be the one...

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) Didn't KW make mention that there would be PLENTY of DH options for us late in last offseason and also at the deadline? Seems to me there aren't too many options that won't cost us the farm... Let things shake out a little more here...

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 08:54 PM) I really hope that guy's not managing this team someday. He does not have the temperament to manage.

That was tough luck, but I f***ing hate your guts, Rally Killer.

Or not. Just refuses to take any kind of an approach.

Ok AJ...have a brain here.

Q needs to stop asking for his own check swings to be appealed by the ump

Maybe PK was talking about himself when he said they had to watch out for a letdown.

You'd think they would have let the kid pitch to PK here.

Let's make them pay for that.

Andruw is not a good LF. Surprises me.

Way to keep us in the game, Mark. Let's get some runs...start us off, Juan.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) It wasn't a blatantly blown call. These things do happen, I'd prefer if we didn't afford the umpire the opportunity to blow such calls. For the record: I've b****ed in the past when he was safe in that exact same situation, there just isn't a lot to be gained but there is a lot to be lost. Well, konerko has driven in Alex a lot with singles this season after stealing second. I agree with Carlos hitting the way he is, they should be more conservative. But if Paulie rolls over one and we get into a double play there, people will b**** about that too. Jim Thome just tripled.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 07:22 PM) Will Andruw reach 400 homers before being released? Does he have 399?

Well I care because it cost us a goddamned run. The ump needs to call the game correctly, regardless of whether we agree with the strategy or not.
