Pods is like our only clutch hitter.

I realize these games really don't matter, as we're all but eliminated, but why would Ozzie use Pena? The guy SUCKS SO f***ING HARD.

Let's see if Q can get his swing back here. Perfect time to break out of a slump.

I agree with Steve and Hawk about AJ. I really think he should have been hitting in the 3 spot for a couple years now.

Does Dye make that play? I don't think he does.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 08:10 PM) I'll give him this year because of the injuries. But next year is huge in regards to if he's really legit or was he just a 1-year, injury prone wonder. That's how I'm thinking too. He really needs to get his swing back though. He just seems to be under or over everything. Not hitting the ball on the screws very often.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 08:07 PM) Manship the Magnificent. Manship Almighty. Mighty Mighty Manship. Who wants to bet he goes 7+ innings, giving up less than 3 runs? No takers??? Come on, easy money for you guys with how our offense is RAKING.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 08:02 PM) I don't think I ever want to see JD in a White Sox lineup again. I don't understand how he could have such an MVP caliber first half, and play the way he has in the second half... It's like he's playing with one arm or something.

JD having issues catching up to that blistering 88 MPH fastball right down the heart of the plate.

Konerko saves Alexei from another error.

Pods and AJ are pretty much the only guys on this team that seem to give a s*** on a nightly basis.

It's amazing how Pods can look so good on that play, and so bad on more routine s***... Absolutely amazing. Rios should still be in CF though.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 11:53 PM) Peace out, Big Jim. Gear up for those 8th and 9th inning ABs against right-handed relievers. You ain't never gonna sniff another lefty again. You also get to reunite with your former teammate/fellow roider Manny Ramirez. That should be nice. Fellow roider? Are you seriously saying Thome is a roider?

White Sox took care of him. They made sure he went to a contender by throwing the cash into the deal. Good job to the Sox for being classy, and thanks for being awesome Jim. Let's hope he can get that World Series win in LA this year.

Man, the White Sox have absolutely noone right now that is going up to the plate with a short, quick swing, trying to get base hits. Everyone is swinging for the fences up there.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 02:52 PM) ...And people told me that Masset was nothing special last year when I said I didn't like how we gave up Masset in the Griffey deal. Having Masset and Macdougal right now would DRAMATICALLY improve the garbage we call our bullpen.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 02:49 PM) Look at his pre and post ASB splits. Two different pitchers. I think his arm is just done. He's only got so many pitches in it, and he has passed that point.

QUOTE (b-Rye @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 02:43 PM) Nick Masset: 2.81 ERA 57.2 IP Mike Macdougal: 1.98 ERA 36 IP David Aardsma: 2.26 ERA 31 Saves I would like them back. I'm starting to question Coop as well. We get rid of those guys to improve our bullpen, and our bullpen is one of the worst in baseball now, with all three of them pitching great this year. Meh.

What was Freddy's pitch count when he was yanked? Anyone know? It seems like we should just let our starters pitch the entire game every other day. It's really the only chance we have to win. Twenty-two runs in the 7 games against NY and Boston from our bullpen? LOL

Our bullpen is awesome. Best bullpen in the major league by far.

This team just sucks so bad. There isn't a single aspect of the 2009 White Sox that is above average. We are just an underachieving group of dinosaurs, with terrible baseball IQs, and zero chance of competing for a World Series. This team needs a 50% turnover for next year, for the playoffs to even be a pipe dream.

A team BABIP of .287 isn't going to get you very far. That's good for dead last in the AL btw.

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 07:14 PM) its just amazing the total disregard for situational hitting this team exhibits on a daily basis At what point is the coaching staff held responsible for this suckage?

Gas...
