Just when Hawk started to praise Linebrink, he starts throwing balls.

Where's Dotel to back him up?

Linebrink can't pitch for s*** at home.

If ANYTHING happens to Thornton, we're pretty much f***ed.

I think I saw Linebrink warming up. Tell me I'm just seeing things.

Now if only Konerko can finally get a damn hit...

Looks like Dye's no longer in his terrible slump.

Bannister's hung so many of those. We've only hit one of 'em out...

Did Alberto Callaspo just make a good play on defense? How's that even possible?

We still haven't led in this game yet. This usually means bad news. Paulie is still in his horrible slump.

What is that 4 double plays now? Yet, we're losing... Reminds me a lot of that Indians game Mark pitched.

That didn't take long...

I hate Pods a little less now.

Crap.

Buehrle's got another DP. Nice.

What happened with Dye? I missed it.

Mark's not long for this game if he keeps this up.

Pods continues to suck.

It's a good thing that it's only a 3 run lead. Buehrle needs to settle down. That last inning was some bad, bad luck.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) Who tags the trail leg? Alexei Ramirez.

That's two times where a throw beat the guy going into second and we failed to put a good tag down. Come on...

We're under .500 against the Royals this year. That alone says we do not deserve to be in the playoffs. Thus, win these next three games.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 02:46 PM) A nice upgrade over Ryan Raburn. Not really... Raburn's got a .767 OPS along with a .330 wOBA. He's been a barely above average offensive player this season. Huff has a below league average OPS of .725 and a weak .307 wOBA. He's been a bit unlucky this year, but still, that's not good. Huff's also bad on defense, just like Raburn. If anything, this was a move to keep Ordonez out of the lineup.

Stupid mistakes on defense that have nothing to do with our talent level have screwed us over. We should be at least 4-5 games better if we just play average defense, which we definitely can.
