Quick inning. Now score six runs offense. Have some pride.

That's a funny looking HR from Cabrera. Aren't they supposed to fly over the outfield stands?

If this team has any balls they'll respond this inning with atleast one run. Show everyone you're alive, and not embarrassed by this pitiful evening of baseball.

Embarrassing. Game. Vazquez gives up a HR to Patterson, this f***ing scrub? Wow.

Awesome. Pitching scared. We just can't stand a 123 inning, can we? Have to make it a certainty Ramirez/Lee atleast have the opporutnity to bat with runners on.

I heard an interesting statistic earlier on ESPN -- Dempster had ONE DP over his last 9 starts. Today? Three.

Leadoff runner aboard. Lets score a run now.

Maybe when we fall out of first place, that will show them that they actually have to play well to win games. It was set from the 1st inning, when the offense failed to score and Vazquez couldn't find the plate. I know people will say "OMG, HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS!!", but Vazquez was pitching scared. For a pitcher known for command, its sure strange he couldn't find it. I've never seen him have an inning like that in a Whtie Sox uniform.

This is really becoming pitiful. We just want to lose.

I'd seriously consider untentional intentionally walking ramirez. Let someone else beat us.

Lefty check Big Curve check Good change check throws hard check never faced check Get in the chat, Mick. This is REALLY growing frustrating. Vazquez has to be perfect from this point on if we have any hope of getting back in this game.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 06:59 PM) Ha. You don't like that bit of information over and over and over again so much you think you're stuck in Groundhog Day ? I pray for bats not to break during our games. Or if they do, not to break up into sharp pieces.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 06:55 PM) MAPLE! Another benefit of not having Hawk/DJ. Every broken bat gives them an excuse to suggest broken bats are dangerous, and how they'd rarely break back in their day.

Two innings, two DPs, one runner already stranded at second base. Now let's watch how a real offense operates with the Cubs. Funny how they do well when the leadoff player reaches....

I hope no one believes this game doesn't mean anything to the Sox. Has anyone EVER seen Vazquez as wild as he has been in the 1st? I don't believe he located one offspeed pitch for a strike. HEY, leadoff runner erased from a DP. What do you know?

This won't be a first place team for long. Embarrassing.

Tell me we aren't preparing ourselves for a sweep. Vazquez almost seems resigned to it. Somehow he forgot to pitch.

Are we purposely trying to get swept? HEY, LET'S BLOW ANOTHER SCORING OPPORTUNITY AND THEN THROW FIVE STRAIGHT BALLS!

Not this s*** again. Well, there's one opportunity wasted.

I'm convinced he looks for any reason to talk about his irrelevant state, and you're just adding reason for him to go on.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 06:20 PM) Stone made it sound like it was for a hit since Ramirez was way back at 3rd I don't know how far back he was, but we are talking about Pierzynski here. I'd still rather he not give up strikes.

Why the f*** would AJ bunt there? We need his bat, not his bunting abilities here.

A rainbow in Wrigley Field? Nothing unusual about that.
