Ozuna with a routine fly to center. End of the top of the 5th. 8-7 bad guys.

Contreras still out there. He hits the first man he faces with his 93rd pitch. One on, nobody out. Bloomquist up.

Aye Contreras wtf is your problem

Fly out to right. One out. Santiago up. Contreras out and Politte in.

This has been awful for Contreras

Fly out to right.  One out.  Santiago up.  Contreras out and Politte in.

 

 

 

Politte needs a good outing he has been bad the last few outings I have listened to.

Politte's ERA is 5.40. Oppostion is hitting over .400 against Politte. Santiago singles sharply. Ichiro up. His scorcher off Iguchi's glove the last time up was scored an error. 1st and 2nd. One out.

Ichiro takes an 0-2 pitch into left center. 10-7. I think it was a double. Winn up. Politte absolutely scares me.

Winn pops out to center. 2 away, Beltre up.

I said this the last time Politte pitched. Everything he throws gets hit HARD.

This is not what I had in mind for politte I can't watch the sox's on a daily basis but this has to be a major concern

Politte walks Beltre. Avoids getting beheaded. Sexton up.

Is Cliff's spot on the team for certain or is he still on the bubble

Sexton thrown out on a 2 hopper to Iguchi. End of 5. 10-7 Mariners.

With his salary, I would say his spot is guaranteed...

Under terms of the contract, Politte (pronounced Po-LEET) will receive $800,000 in 2004 with the club option for $1.3 million in 2005.

I seriously doubt we pick up his $1.3 million option for next year though. He damn sure isn't worth it.

damn cuz he's horrible... ugh

I'll bet they are giving him a lot of slack due to his being a hard throwing fly ball pitcher in the thin air. He gives me the "willies", no matter where he is pitching. New Mariner pitcher. Aaron Troila. Perez up. Lead-off single to left on a full count. Ben Davis up.

With his salary, I would say his spot is guaranteed.

 

 

I just looked up his Salarie and I had no idea he gets paid what he does

It is 2005.

Perez steals second on a 1-2 count. Davis grounds out to first and dutifully moves Timo to third. Gooch up.

It is 2005.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Doh. I missed that.

 

I believe we re-structured Politte's contract though. Let me look for it.

 

EDIT: Yep...

White Sox signed RHP Cliff Politte to a one-year, $1 million contract with an option for 2006.

The White Sox had indicated they'd pick up Politte's option, but this is better. No one else was going to pay Politte $1.3 million after a second straight disappointing season, so there was no reason for the White Sox to do so. Instead, he'll get $900,000 in 2005 and the White Sox will hold a $1.2 million option for 2006 with a $100,000 buyout. Politte had a 4.38 ERA in 54 relief appearances this year before undergoing an appendectomy on Sept. 1.

Well, we damn sure aren't going to pick up Politte's $1.2 million option for next season unless he has a great year.

Gooch flies out to Bloomquist in center on a great catch and Perez scores. Bloomquist then makes another fine play on a long fly ball from Rowand. Bottom of the 6th coming up. 10-8.

Good call to stay out of Double Play
