August 26, 200421 yr I have the feeling that this bottom half inning might just be as long as the top half. Let's hope I'm wrong.
August 26, 200421 yr 6-2...Indians are lauching balls off of Stewart, who looks like a deer in the headlights.
August 26, 200421 yr Stewart is terrible... I hope we are serious about adding another solid pitcher in the offseason.. If this season hasnt made them see they need a top notch guy, then I dont know what the deal is
August 27, 200421 yr According to an article on whitesox.com KW is focusing on pitching now and for the future, hence his acqusitions of Garcia and Contreras, and then signing Garcia to a 3 year deal. They covet Randy Johnson but it's very unlikely he'll waive his no-trade clause to come to Chi-town because he only wants to go to a strong contender. Look for KW to make a strong push for at least one more starting pitcher to complement Buehrle, Garcia, Contreras, and Garland. I also expect a front-line setup man and possibly a closer (or closer-to-be). He's said he refuses to pay Maggs the 5 year, $70 million that he's asking for, but depending on how his knee progresses, would consider signing him to a deal for $8-$10 million per year. He refuses to invest too much money in one player with a now-questionable health record and sacrificing in other areas. Pitching is his focus now, and IMO as it should be.
August 27, 200421 yr Stewart isn't going to make it out of the 2nd inning. The Indians have been playing pepper with the left centerfield wall. I hope this is the last start Stewart ever has with the Sox.
August 27, 200421 yr This ump sucks. You have to throw through a teacup to geta strike called. Agreed.
August 27, 200421 yr Yeah, Stewart has been getting squeezed from the very first batter on. Of all the pitchers on this team, he's the last pitcher on this team that can succeed w/this type of umpire.
August 27, 200421 yr Umpire has a total different zone for the Indians pitchers than he has for Stewart so far. The last pitch to Rowand was a strike, but the one before it was nowhere close.
