June 10, 200421 yr 6/10/04 I thought I would start a game thread since I have never had a shot at doing so before. So.....
June 10, 200421 yr Pitching matchup CHI: LHP Scott Schoeneweis 5-3, 3.89 ERA in 2004 Did not face Phillies in 2003 0-0, 27.00 lifetime vs. Phillies PHI: RHP Brett Myers 4-3, 4.03 ERA in 2004 Has never faced White Sox Prediction of how long Schoeneweis will last: 6+ innings Prediction of how long Myers will last: 5+ innings
June 10, 200421 yr [*]Has never faced White Sox Oh s***, but mabey we can still slap him around a little bit and take the series from the Phillies
June 10, 200421 yr Cheer up guys, the Sox had never faced Madson before and look how that turned out. Let's not start believing that the Sox are cursed and never do well when seeing a pitcher for the first time. We'll start sounding like Cubs fans with talks about curses and that's almost as bad as losing. Let's go Sox!

We'll start sounding like Cubs fans with talks about curses and that's almost as bad as losing. Let's go Sox! Lately, the problem has been the Sox killing themselves with their relief pitching. They haven't had huge trouble with any starter in quite awhile.
June 10, 200421 yr The first two games we traded some blows, and now we're saring first with the Twinkies. We really need to win this game as we are only 6 games over .500.
June 10, 200421 yr Lately, the problem has been the Sox killing themselves with their relief pitching. They haven't had huge trouble with any starter in quite awhile. Yeah...since yesterday. Sorry, couldn't resist and yes, I agree with your assesment.
June 10, 200421 yr Author Yeah...since yesterday. Sorry, couldn't resist and yes, I agree with your assesment. They scored 6 runs off of Milton... 4 off the bullpen... Garland was the problem for once and Cotts didn't help.
June 10, 200421 yr This is the first game in a while I can watch from the start. But then I'll probably miss the end because I have to work at 5:30 tomorrow morning. Anyways, let's go Sox!
June 10, 200421 yr They scored 6 runs off of Milton... 4 off the bullpen... Garland was the problem for once and Cotts didn't help. I thought you were referring to our 4 starters - LOL! So I am a little slow on the uptake...
June 10, 200421 yr Cotts didn't help. Cotts didn't help? He pitched an Inning. kept the two inheritted runners he recieved from scoring. Gave up a double and a walk before being pulled in favor of Billy Koch. Billy Koch quickly let the two inheritted runners score. The first five batters he faced went (single, double, walk, Sac Fly, strike out.) That made for a stretch of 9 straight guys reaching base on Koch, over the span of two games.
June 10, 200421 yr We need this one tonight. We've got to get back to "winning' series. I hope Schoenweis has a good performance in him tonight. The pitching has been god awful so far in this series.
June 10, 200421 yr I expect Scho to finally tame this Philly offense; it's got to happen sometime right? Chisox win 8-1.

June 10, 200421 yr Giving up the eventual winning run in the game raising your ERA to 5.31 isn't exactly helping. He wasn't given the chance to prevent those runs from scoring. And bringing in Billy(I let the last 6 guys I've faced reach base)Koch come in to clean up isn't going to help. Cotts may have let one of those two baserunners score. But bringing in BK made it a certainty. We probably still lose, so whats the differece right? The difference is the Winning or tying run is coming to the plate in the bottom of the 9th if Koch doesn't pitch in that game.

June 10, 200421 yr Author I realize that Cotts wasn't the pitcher out there when the runs came in.. but he did put them on base. That's all I'm saying...
June 10, 200421 yr I realize that Cotts wasn't the pitcher out there when the runs came in.. but he did put them on base. That's all I'm saying... He put him out there, but he gets charged 2ER for the 2 baserunners he allowed. Adkins allowed 3 baserunners, Cotts bailed him out, no ER. BK meanwhile, allowed 5 baserunners, and only is charged 1ER. Just another reason why ERA isn't a good measurement to judge Relief pitchers. Cotts got his job done, Cleaned up for Adkins, was not allowed to clean up his own mess. -- I wouldn't be defending the guy if those runs scored on his watch. BK didn't get his job done, and created a bigger mess, allowing his own runners to score, even though he was working with a shortened inning (1 out when he came in)
June 10, 200421 yr better not be a rainout i worked 9 hours in this s***, they better be able to play in it. its just water right
June 10, 200421 yr They'll play for most of the night trying to get it in. The Phillies obviously don't come back into town, and there are only 8 off days for the sox left for the season.
