Single for Mauer.

Damn that was the hardest hit ball yet tonight. Hawk gave it a stretch x2.

There was right there.

The infield seems to play fast.

3 fly outs. Easy inning for Slowey, I hope Fred brought it today.

Couple of flyouts for Paulie and Alex.

Hahah Hawk! He just sang 'save big money at menards'

Fred gets out of it.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2010 -> 07:22 PM) A few comments: - I hate AJP batting 2nd, as you don't want a notorious first pitch hitter batting after Pierre if he reaches base - Rios should be the #3 hitter ASAP Also, did anyone hear Harry Teinowitz say that a trusted source told him that KW is furious with Ozzie, more than ever? Who is Harry Teinowitz ?

2 on 2 out for Cuddayer.

Double for Mauer.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 11, 2010 -> 07:15 PM) i think it's awesome and wished more broadcasts used it. You see balls and strikes and movement so much better. Agree.

WTP for AJ.

just like that baby Juandog.

Juan please swing the bat.

They game will be played. Let's win this chit!

Mauer and Morneau have no hits vs this guy, however the whole league does.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2010 -> 05:08 PM) I don't fault Ozzie one second for keeping Jenks as the closer, as he hadn't blown a save yet. Until today.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 9, 2010 -> 04:57 PM) Go look back and see what my ratio of good/bad posts are in gamethreads. I'm not as negative as you seem to think I am. Yes, I call Kotsay Flopsay because I feel that it was an awful, awful decision to bring him back. I'm one of the few who actually backed Pierre, despite how dreadful he has started this season. There is no one player, save Scott Podsednik when he was a Sox player, that I've harped on and constantly berated, ever. Not many of the negative posters can claim that on here. I'm no where trying to call you out, but there are posters here who are negative no matter if we are winning or losing, and some others don't participate in discussion UNLESS we are losing and then they come out to add fuel to the fire. Both of these I think are destructive and tiring.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 9, 2010 -> 04:45 PM) Who said anything about worrying we're gonna win the division? I am content to see us win games period. Maybe you should check out some other site to hang out at, perhaps the Twins or D-Rays fan sites. If you already know this team has no shot in hell to win the division, then why in god's name are you hanging around in game threads, where...you know, this '3rd place team at best's fans' sit and vent frustration about how we should be doing better but we aren't?? Are you a glutton for punishment? Do you enjoy sitting around and telling us how dumb we are for being upset at this team's performance? Hey, whatever floats your boat. But notice I've been around these parts much longer than most people, I've been through plenty of Sox ups and downs here, if this type of message board commentating makes you sadface IRL, you have some SERIOUSLY bad days ahead of you. 1. I'm a White Sox fan and I come here to post in game threads to follow and SUPPORT the team I cheer for. 2. I don't enjoy sitting here and telling you how dumb you are for being upset, I'm upset with this teams performance as well but I don't sit here stating the obvious how Gordon Beckham or Mark Kotsay suck, instead I rather remain optimistic and hope they figure it out soon. There are poster, that no matter if this team is winning or losing, come to game threads to spit in player faces. 3. I realize you're a retired Mod and been here around longer than most us, that's why it is surprising to see the lack of objectivity.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 9, 2010 -> 04:38 PM) Apologies. All posts from now on will be about all the good things in life...sunshine, puppy dogs, the 2005 World Championship, Pods start to the 2010 season. Only the good things. Man, I am so happy its sunny out today where I live, I saw some puppies outside that were soooooooo cute!! I think its time to pop the 2005 World Series DVD in to watch some awesome baseball, and reminisce about our great run, and contemplate what a great 2010 Pods is having. Guess what pal, we have a team that maybe will finish 3rd in our division this year. Watch all the games you want but they will continue to lose most of their games hence why we will not win this division. Does your diehard fan'ism allow you to understand and comprehend?

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 9, 2010 -> 04:34 PM) Because some of us, no matter how bad the season is going, are diehard fans who refuse to miss a single game. I buy mlb.tv every year so I can watch every Sox game all year. Does that mean I should only comment when things are going well? This message board provides a place for all of us diehard Sox fans to vent frustrations, which, right now, there are lots of unfortunately. Die hard fans ? Die hard fans are supporters, what some of here are doing are not supporting, you are right now insulting die hard fans out there.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 9, 2010 -> 04:30 PM) We have a $100 million payroll. We have every reason in the world to b**** and complain. There's a difference between a bad team and the White Sox. And I'm a fan because I follow this team through and through. But I'm also just an extremely negative person I guess. Oh well. But what's the reason of doing that every day? Certain posters come here and say we are awful/garbage/insert_whatever; Twins are gods, they are running away with this division. Next day, same exact thing. We f***ing got you the first time, why repeat yourself? Not aimed at you but some posters in general.

Let's score some runs and win this thing, Kevin Gregg sucks.

I can't f***ing believe how some of you find the time of day to come here and just rant the whole time. Go score some p**** or have a beer, RELAX. Yes this team probably won't win the division but what's the point of coming here and ragging and b**** about everyone on this team. How do you call yourself a fan? Oh look we're down by 2, yes I'm pissed at Bobby, was throwing batting practice, but come on why do inflict pain on yourself by watching these games?
