Way to run into an out there.

Out of curiosity, why no Frank in the lineup today? I'd much rather have him playing against a pitcher with great control than Everett.

^that

Hawk seems more senile than ever today. Already two plays where he got way too excited off of the bat.

Rowand's gotta get the job done there when we are down 4 runs after an inning like that. That was a real crappy job. Same old crappy ABs while Contreras is pitching

I'm not certain why Frank isn't in there but from what I recall Maddux has made him look bad.

The Iguchi one had some potential, but I agree that last foul by Paulie wasn't worth shouting about.

Update guys please? Thanks!

only positive out of that inning: 23 pitches for maddux.

Pathetic ABs by our 3-4 hitters, as they had plenty of good pitches to hit. On the bright side, at least we have a long reliever today if Contreras sucks it up more.

Leadoff double and no runs? Is that what happened?

Not a good start 4-0 after 1.

Update guys please?  Thanks!

 

 

Maddux escapes without any damage as Konerko Ks. Top 2 now.

Leadoff double and no runs?  Is that what happened?

 

Yeah. That was as god-awful of an inning as we'll see all year.

JC is sucking bad today dam

I predicted to my brother we'd see McCarthy for at least 3 innings today. At least it's more exciting to see him in long relief than it was last year when Mike Jackson would come in for Danny Wright.

Looks like Jose vs. Arizona again.

His forkball has been MIA for quite a while now. Without his forkball, he's a well below average MLB pitcher.

Great play by Gooch!!!

Gooch saves the run for now.

Contreras has to be TOLD to work the forkball off the fastball vs. the other way around. And he needs to work faster.

atl reitsma just gives up 5 hits and a walk to blow the save & now he will win the game if ATL scores in their half of the ninth....something needs to be done about that...? does that deserve a win?

 

iguchi and the sox have sure been throwin the leather around this year eh?

If he is susceptible to the high fastball, then why in the hell do we keep pitching him low splitters?

We need to get to the Cubs pen ASAP. We are on a good pace right now. We just need to chip away at their lead. Too bad we couldnt get Pods in. I love how this team never gives up though. Should be a good comeback.

Christ, how many forkballs in a row is that to Patterson?
