This is not about bounces. Jesus, they're just better than we are.

Settle.

I am referring to this game, singularly.

When a White Sox player hits a dribbler up the middle, a Red Cub player seems to be there.

When they hit one up the middle it seems to always get through.

 

And FWIW, I'm not sold on them being better than the White Sox.

This team still has a lot of talent and 3 months' worth of games left.

I swear to God, game threads are the breeding ground of knee-jerk hatred.

BTW...I know there's been some whining about the pitching, but I thank everyone for some good baseball talk in this thread.

so....how is it gonna feel being 3 games back?

 

no seriously, how does it feel to be 11 back because you started TONY BATISTA and kept liriano in the pen while running kyle fing lohse out there for half the year.

Troll.

 

:headshake

 

Use it, Alex

A couple of wins in July doesn't make them better than us.

I'm pretty sure he's a Sox fan. And instead of taunting Twins fans about Lohse, shouldn't we be thanking them?

And cue the Chicken Littles now...

 

 

What was Oz supposed to do there? Our 'pen is completely overused right now because our supposed strength this year is a flat out weakness behind Contreras....not much can be done when we have 5 starters who seem completely lost.

well, its now or next inning or never

Lead-off walk.

Thome slam?

with our pitching, would it even matter? everytime we score, our pitchers give it up. how many times have we lost this year after scoring atleast 5 runs? we probably only lost 5 of those last year..

this is why beckett is overrated. hes given up 5 runs and just might win this game and get his 11th win.

ken rosenthal sucks

I find these new guys funny since they have no idea who i am.

Heads, I know you're being sarcastic. This game is not even close to being over. But aren't you sick of this team having to battle back from big deficits 3 or 4 times a week? I know I am.

 

 

I know. I probably bring it on myself by coming in here. I'm the anti-fathom, in a word. I just have blind faith sometimes, and that makes seasons like last year a heck of a lot more enjoyable.

Let Cotts finish his mess. There was no reason to put Garland in this game. You have Cotts, Thornton, McCarthy, and Jenks left to pitch at that moment.

well your name indicates sox fan but i just wanted to pretend you were a twins fac to compensate for todays crap game

 

Use it, Tad.

2 on, NOOOOBODY out...

The scary thing is that I'm nowhere close to being the most pessimistic person on this site now.

They have out-played us today.

I think hitting is about the same, their starters are better, and bullpens are about same. I would give them the edge.

yea that is true....our starters have been s***. it is over used.

Well, 2-3-4 are up with the tying runs on base. Hard to ask for more.

lol...

Yeah, but you're one of the few I like.

How do our starters get better, people?

 

How does Garcia get his velocity back? How does Vazquez stop making the mistakes he's made his entire career? How do Buehrle and Garland stop being completely inconsistent?

 

It's about time we accept the fact that we'll have to slug our way into and through the playoffs if we hope to get to where we did last year.
