I'm telling you, we got no shot against this guy tonight. None Zero Zilch. He is the best pitcher to ever play the game Hawk.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2008 -> 05:34 PM) Isn't it his freaking job to get them motivated? I guess he's the only manager/coach in sports who's not responsible for getting his players prepared and motivated to play. It is his job. Why would you think this year would be any different than last year. The whole year the team sleptwalk, and he did nothing. This year will be no different. But because he won a world series he will get a pass.

We have no chance against Marcum. He will make us look foolish all night.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:33 PM) Monday they played for 6 hours in an extra-innings, rainy, 40* game. Friday was rained out and played on Saturday. I'm not sure what you're talking about. My bad. Monday they palyed. I totally forgot about that.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 03:32 PM) Monday off? You mean the 6 hour game? Ummm, I guess that counts. Usually days off mean you dont play extremely long and freezing cold games. And last friday was off because they had a day/night doubleheader the next day negating any rest they may have had, they were still at the park on friday and spent extra time on saturday. My bad.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:13 PM) but what about SPEED!!!!!! The team was hitting the ball ok to all fields to begin the season, now seem to be lift and pull again. This day off couldnt come at a better time. They just had Friday off. Why do people think an off day is gonna cure all that is wrong with this offense.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 03:18 PM) They've gotten lazy in the last week or so, im hoping some time off will help them adjust. Its not like we were getting blown out here, we lost 2 very close games with our 5th and a swing man starting for us. We just had last Friday off. I don't think time off is gonna help.

Everyone who thinks this team is in a slump is not being realistic. This team hasn't hit for a couple of seasons now, slumps don't last that long. I think it's time to realize that the players we have on offense just aren't very good. They are old and slow and I think this year is gonna be just like last year in terms of hitting. We will be better in the starting pitching and bullpen, but hitting wise, this is the team we are stuck with.

I predict Owens will be called up before the Toronto series. We can use him.

Our offense is in the same funk it was last year, except for a couple guys. I want to see how long we continue to trot out the same guys before we make some changes. We cannot manufacture any runs on this team whatsoever. We have no speed.

Nice inning by Dotel.

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:26 PM) Another negative comment by you Well should I be positive after having seen another strikeout?? Maybe you can see the positive in striking out but I can't. The only positive on this team I see right now is CQ and the starting pitching. That is it

Great inning guys. Way to make your fans proud!!

Another quality AB by a Whitesox hitter

Nice AB Jim.

QUOTE (frankie5angels @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:13 PM) I wouldn't give this guy anything to hit!! So much for that. Why would you even pitch to the guy? Put him on and bring in Linebrink to face Cuddyer??

I wouldn't give this guy anything to hit!!

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:08 PM) Not with two lefties up. Sure it is. You can get a bigger lead of of second than you can off first.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) thank you gardenhire.... i dont know why you dont steal with gomez first, then bunt It's easier to steal 3rd.

QUOTE (bullpenHeat @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:06 PM) why do s***heads like Carlos Gomez have unbelievable games against the White Sox game in, game out. I swear these flea type players raise their BA's against us 20 pts a year. Gomez is gonna be a stud in this league. He is hardly a flea type player.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:14 PM) "Carlos, you see how that ball barely went over the fence. See me after the game. Mike Gellinger just told me that the problem is your swing is too level. In the majors, we dip that back shoulder, clear your hips, and elevate the ball." Greg Walker "But Coach, in Arizona, they told us to square the ball up, and drive through the ball with a level swing. " Carlos "How many world series did your hitting coach in Arizona get to architect like I did" Walk "Well, it has worked for me so far" Carlos "The pitchers will adjust to you, mindless power never slumps. Think about it kid if you want a long career with the whitesox." Walk "Coach what is this card you gave me, its says Think Dan Ryan. What does that mean?" Carlos "Its a little memorization technique I use. When you lift and pull, aim for the Dan Ryan. Good news, Mike just told me we have some video for you to watch. Have you ever heard of one of the best hitters in baseball named Rob Deer. His swing is exactly what I want to see yours turn into. You have to unlock your power" Walk

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:12 PM) 3 runs allowed in 4 innings isn't "well". I disagree. He is making a spot start. To me his is pitching well. It could be alot worse.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:11 PM) Take it from me...relax a little, this team's not worth getting so upset. If you think they can't score one more run the rest of the way, then why does it matter if they win this game or not? It matters because I am f***ing fan of this team that's why.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:10 PM) wow you guys...its the 4th goddamn inning...we are down 1 and you are saying its over??? i know you are half joking, but still Who's joking. Have you seem this teams offense lately?? I have no confidence in this team's offense whatsoever. NONE. ZERO.ZILCH.

BALLGAME!! THIS BALLGAME IS OVA!!!!
