gotta love how the bottom of the lineup is producing....but you gotta hate the middle of the order is doing s***....i guess you'll have that though

 

Exactly what I was talking about earlier in the game. No way you can change the lineup though right now.

Juan Uribe = king of the sac fly

Podsednik is insane.

Will Pods try to steal again? It's a 6 run lead, but I don't think it would be that classless to try and steal a 4th base.

everyone has a hit except the middle three "power guys".....they're the ones that are supposed to bring in the runs...LOL

Im lovin the new look White SOX!!!! We are kickin assess!

Garcia's at 95 pitches. It's iffy whether or not he'll come out -- I assume he'll come out for the 8th, but I'd like to see Cotts get some work. No need to overwork Garcia tonight. Then again, I guess I won't mind if he send Garcia out to see a batter or two. Just, let's keep Freddy below 110 pitches tonight.

I'd rather we let Marte pitch a full inning than Cotts. I still have nightmares of having a large lead heading into late innings at KC from last year's season opener.

Gload's coming in to bat for Dye. I guess this means Gload will have to battle the tough elements in RF for 2 innings.

Gload's value shoots through the roof if he can play a decent LF/RF.

 

Anyways, about that Cubs game that Gload botched a couple of flyballs -- I think I might have been at that game, and the wind was a real son-uvva-b**** that day. So, if that's what we're basing our judgement on Ross play OF from -- then, I'd say we should give him a shot to redeem himself. If he f***s up tonight, then OK, there goes that experiment.

I definitely agree with you. I'd rather have Gload in the outfield any time instead of Everett (who's also a risk to get injured in the outfield).

BTW, great job by Garcia tonight. His fastball had better location on it, and he looked more confident on the mound.

I guess I'll finish off the pbp.

Pollitte in for Garcia. 2-2 to Emil Brown.

K ....... HE GAWN. 1 dead.

Politte clearly has the best fastball on our team so far this season.

Graffy up.

Chopper to Uribe......2 dead.

DeJesus grounds to Gooch.......1-2-3 to the top of the 9th. 7-2 Sox.

Solid inning by Pollitte. DeJesus' bat shattered into about 7496782165 peices! Helluva pitch on the outside corner.

I remember that game very well as it was the first time in a long time I had been at Wrigley and the wind was not a big problem. Ross had a string of terrible defensive games during that time of the season. He is not a good defensive OF. More reason why Timo has started in RF/LF for Dye and Pods this season.

AJ leads it off with a strike-out.......1 dead.

Yeah, but the bad outweighs the good with Timo. He's nothing special at the plate at all. To each his own, I guess, but I'd take my chances for one game, putting Gload out there rather than Timo.

Double off the wall for Crede.......1 dead, 1 on.

Crede with a rocket!

 

Cruddy who?
