You wish has been granted. Cotts coming in.

13 baserunners against Contreras in 6.1 innings today. Add to that 3 wild pitches as well.

i would have gone politte in the 7th, and hermanson in the 8th assuming we were still trailing. hermanson gets no work unless it's save opp. he could have used it today.

105 pitches....61 were strikes.

I'd rather keep Hermanson fresh for tomorrow's game for a save opportunity. I see no problem with using Shingo in a game like this and try to see if he can continue his solid stretch.

Burnitz = He GONE. 2 dead

Intentional walk to Aramis.

hermanson hasn't pitched since MONDAY. he could use an inning today, and still have plenty left for tomorrow if needed. the lack of work is going to hurt when real save chances come up.

Hawk just said that if you send them a good e-mail and they read it, they will give out coupons for free game tickets.

Ozzie has been quoted recently as saying Hermanson would only be used in save situations for the time being. He wants to keep Hermanson fresh for the second half of the season.

Walker singles to right. 1 run in.

Pablo cuts off Dye's throw for no particular reason.

Ozuna might be showing what happens when a career bench player starts to play 5 times a week or more. Has there been any update on Uribe lately?

using a guy twice in a week wouldn't be overworking him.

 

i'm all for keeping guys fresh, so why doesn't take that same tact with the starters?

Walker singles to right.  1 run in.

 

I still question Iguchi's range.

And we continue to use Neal to face as many lefties as possible.

damn it. this one's over. never should have let contreras start the inning.

 

then again, this is all moot if we don't score again.

I have no clue why Ozzie does some of the things he does. However, as long as we continue to have a great record, there's not a chance in HELL that he changes the way he does things.

that's all well and good, but if hermanson gets knocked around in his next appearance and it happens to be a one-run game, don't say i didn't warn you.

Our hitters are making Novoa look like Cy Young. Way too many poor ABs since the 2nd inning in this game.

Get well soon Uribe!

Politte 6-0?

btw, i'm an idiot. i meant politte in the 8th and hermanson in the 9th. i forgot what side of chicago we're on today.

This game reminded me of some of those @ Tampa games we had earlier this year where we had warning track power is some crucial spots, as well as some hard hits balls at people. That H'worth catch was the turning point in this game, and even more important than the grand slam.

you're gonna have those games now and again. you just can't let them start snowballing is all.

 

btw, i don't know what goes on out there, but back east, i keep hearing about how the white sox are the mariners of a few years ago when they won all those games and got bounced in the first round. you guys catching that crap in the midwest?
