They are pressing at the plate big time and yes, it makes every pitcher look better no doubt.  However, this guy is how many games over .500 for his career?  Probably about 80?

 

I agree Jim, but some of the pitches the Sox have been swinging at are just ridiculous. Most of our guys look completely lost at the plate, the only one that was swinging the bat well was Konerko....and he's gone.

 

Mussina is a good pitcher, but there is no way a Major League team should be swinging at the pitches we've seen the Sox swing at the last few games.

id rather have devil ray offense right now.

I agree with you, there is no arguing these poor results by the Sox hitters. They are pressing and when a hitter presses, they do dumb things.

Theyre offense is acually pretty good

Their offense is actually decent. Leaps and bounds above ours right now.

Jon's pitch count 112 right now. This has got to be his last inning I hope.

Xtra Innings in Cleveland 4-4

Just to let you know, Konerko was injured in the final round of batting practice before the game and is listed as day-to-day.

All in all, 7 IP and 2ER for Jon. Can't ask for too much more. Unfortunatly a shutout is needed to win these days.

Maybe Timo can get some time at first.

Garland has retired the last 5 faced.

What pisses me off is how garland and our pitchers pitch their asses off, like tonight and in the 16 inning game against the twins, and our offense can't push a damn run across the plate when we need it most...

 

This team needs a new bat in the line-up.

 

Kenny is delusional if he thinks it's safe to go with what we have in October....

I feel a comeback in the bottom of the 7th..

 

Due up: Crede, Blum, & Uribe

 

Hmmm.. I'll take that back.. This is a nightmare! I can't believe this is happening.

 

:pray

That was his first 1-2-3 inning and you have an umpire who has been tight with the strike zone for both teams. What does that tell you ... the Yankees hitters are smarter than the White Sox hitters. I guess all that payroll money is at least good for that. Giambi has a great eye at the plate, for one. So does Jeter, Sheffield is pretty damn selective too.

Don't forget Timo if we get someone on base!!

New sig for the time being....

I put Timo in a search engine today, guess what, this site comes up #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 ... his name is mentioned here constantly.

Well, they most certainly have an offense that is better than ours.

If we dont get a significant bat we got no chance.

Our picthing blew that game.

Correction, Jon Adkins blew that game.

4 k's in a row :banghead

Crede swinging at flies again. His head was looking to the outfield as he missed that pitch.

Our picthing blew that game.

 

Well Bri, that's certainly one way to look at it. I recall doing jack s*** against Matt Guerrier for 4 innings as the main factor though.
