Jon should be done for the day but I'm sure Ozzie will bring him out again.

Well, at least it's only the fourth.

It's not like the Astros are hitting hard line drives. Garland can't locate, he's walked 5 and they just get grounders in the hole and score runs.

 

Is Cintron not playing the right spot? Each of the hits went through just about the same spot between 1st and 2nd.

I'm so glad we play for one run in the first inning when garland is on the mound.

Was Garland that bad or was there bad defense in the game or an ump that wasn't calling the low strike?

 

There have been 4 plays on defense now that SHOULD be made that werent that either kept the inning alive or allowed runners to advance to 3rd..

 

Garland has not thrown great but you cant tack this all on him, if those plays are made this game is nothing like it is now.. and they were plays that should be made, especially by Crede and Mack is just an embarassment out there in CF

There were no bunts in the 1st.

This is the last game of Anderson's suspension is it not? Or does he have one more after today?

I would like to know how many first pitch strikes buchholz has thrown. It seems like every hitter has been 0-1.

This is the last game of Anderson's suspension is it not? Or does he have one more after today?

1 more

Cintron had a 2-0 count and put a weak swing on the ball to advance the runner to 3rd.

It was a ground out. How is that playing for 1 run? Jim and Paulie were swinging for the fences.

well, we are going to lose this game

This is a classic beating ourselves type game.

Garland is nibbling Jason.

Damn it. He was throwing so well the past couple outings too. I hope Ozzie actually leaves him out there and lets him get things figured out. Sometimes an outing liket his could be a lesson learned.

 

At the same time Ozzie may want to stop the bleeding if he fears it will set Garland back.

This is a classic beating ourselves type game.

Actually the Astros are beating our ass. We are not beating ourselves.

well, we are going to lose this game

 

We cant win 9 in a row, it just goes against the laws of White Sox baseball.

Paulie having a rough few days as well. We were due for one of these though.

well, we are going to lose this game

 

Stupid 9th game in a winning streak...

It was a ground out. How is that playing for 1 run? Jim and Paulie were swinging for the fences.

So you think that was a good 2-0 swing? I look at it as a bunt. He wasn't trying to do anything with that swing then hit a weak grounder to the right side.

Widger and Garland have not worked well together this year.

I'm just wondering why you think that we were playing for 1 run in the 1st inning. You're basing it all on one weak swing by Cintron.

Is it me or is this Josh Lewin announcer anti-sox?

aahahh garland back out there WTF

We've won 8 in a row, I hate to lose this way (with bad pitching and some poor defense and I'm going with what you guys are saying), but it was bound to come.

 

On a sidenote, is this on WGN or just on Fox?

just fox
