Hopefully Contreras pitches a perfect game. The White Sox are 1-8 in the last nine against the Red Sox. It will be hard for Count to get a good grip on the ball. Temps as high as 100 with heat index of 110. It'll be hard to keep the sweat of the hand and keep that grip.

With the way Contreras sweats, there'll be a moat around the pitcher's mound.

I think hoping for Contreras to pitch stellar against the BoSox is hoping for a lot...I think I saw Contreras' #'s are something to the effect of 1 - 4 and a 13.50 ERA......

What?  Don't understand the wording?

 

No, the wording's fine. I'm just wondering how a team can be both 30 games over .500 and getting less than 4 hits a game than any other team in the Majors.

Yeah, but he's got great stuff.

Well, I guess for what its worth, every time Boston beats us in this series, the Athletics and their fans are saying "s***!". If they wind up 1 game out of the wildcard, I bet we are all happy the Red Sox took at least 2 here this week.

If you go to to the game tomarrow be sure to bring your mit cause balls will be flying out of here. I only hope the majority is for the Southsiders.

Anyone have the LOB numbers? They have to be pretty low by comparison I would think.

The pitching's great. I don't see how that's hard to figure out at all.

Your contributions to this site have been underwhelming thus far, unless you count dripping sarcasm as a contribution. Try digging a little deeper.

Yeah, I wish I could be as smart as you. Please don't let it get out. It would totally destroy my self esteem.

Good thing for the White Sox is that Arroyo is on my fantasy team and whoever plays on or against the White Sox sucks. Hope this raises there chance of lighting him up.

And no I dont have Konerko!!!

KC pushed back Greinke a day, so we'll end up facing him on Monday. He always seems to pitch us tough. I mentioned this earlier, but if we lose that KC series, I have a feeling that a meltdown will be in place.

Oh don't worry, I won't let it get out. You do a good job letting it get out all by yourself.

Tomorrow is a huge game for the White Sox, if they get beat 3 outta 4 at home by Boston I'm going to :puke

Can't argue with that logic.

First off let me say here I'm not comparing the Bosox offense to our's I'm just trying to make the point about the consistancy of our offense: Here's an interesting stat, i just used 4 runs, cause usually when teams with good pitching score 4 runs they're going to win. Anyways the Red Sox have failed to score atleast 4 runs in 28 of their games this year, the White Sox 30, and the Red Sox are said to be the best offense in baseball, i guess if our O is that inconsistant so is their's

 

Also, the Bosox have been shut out twice this year, our sox 3 times.

Can't argue with that logic.

 

I don't give a rat's ass if you believe it or not. I watch every game and I see us get 4 hits or less a lot. Our offense sucks and our pitching is great. I stated something that I believe from watching them play, not something for which I scrupulously looked up stats. I didn't say, "here, this is fact. Accept it!" It's a conclusion I came to on my own.

We have the lowest BA in the AL. We have the lowest OBP in the AL.

 

The only way we score is if we hit home runs right now. Our hitters have no discipline at all. After working counts, fouling off pitches the next batter Uribe swings at the first pitch near the plate and grounds out. That is a microcosm on why our offense sucks right now. If we bang homers we look like world beaters. If the opposing pitcher can spot the fastball on the outside corner its over.

 

BTW our offense lately is officially the same as last year. We score a lot of runs one night, then get 4 hit the next night.

No sense getting angry. I was only trying to point out that your observations might be a little off -- no big deal.

 

I can agree to disagree.

Lying is bad

 

LOL

Lying is bad

 

 

He's not that far off. The only team worse in the AL than us in both categories is Seattle.

Lying is bad

 

 

With last nights offensive explosion we are now 1 point higher in team BA than last place Seattle. Its a moral victory for us.

 

Yes we are the second worst team in the AL to Seattle in BA and OBP. Sorry for the mispeak. 13th looks so much better than 14th I guess.

I guess the Red Sox are having the same problem then?
