there must be 5 fans left at the park

 

we can have a 5 run 2 out rally

 

Two Irishmen walked by a bar.... it COULD happen...

well that was worth the wait

We can now add Cotts to pitchers that we can't rely on. Or should I say, he continues to be a pitcher we can't rely on.

Well, I'm glad I stayed up for that. I can't wait for our next game against the Doc

Hopefully 25 and 14 will be back to stare him in the face.

I don't want to hear one fishing person suggest Garcia's outting was good except for "the wind blown HR." It doesn't matter whether or not mother nature assisted the pitch. I'm tired of the excuses to justify poor performances. If I don't have to hear it I'll be a happy person.

PK sounds optimistic that he should be fine for this wknd. I will be ECSTATIC if we win 2 of 3 this wknd.

Let's face it. We ain't good enough this year.

The magic ain't there.

Our pen is spotty. Our D is spotty.

Even when are healthy our lineup is all

convaluted (sp). It ain't our year.

Can we eke out a wild card bid?

One of these days, our starter is going to win the game for the whole team. You know, like an 8 inning, 1 run performance or something like that. Our starting rotation is underachieving so much.

There's definitely no way to "eke" out a WC bid this year. Whoever wins the AL WC is going to have to play superb ball the rest of the way.

Let's face one other thing, yeah we were playing the Royals, but we just had Thome out for 5 days in a row, and Konerko out for what, 3 altogther, and in that last stretch we've won both series, gone 4/6, and managed to give our biggest guns some rest.

Interesting comments by Ozzie at the bottom of this article. If he's being honest, maybe Mackowiak will start to get more playing time in LF.

So it would appear that the bullpen has become weaker since the deadline for some reason. So pulling the starters early isn't going to work...what else is there to do?

And of course, you know what that means...PODSEDNIK IN CF!!! ANDERSON CANNOT FACE RIGHTIES!!!

Good point, Balta. No Konerko and Thome is not good.

But I hate not sweeping those bums especially when Det. is 12 of 13 or

something like that versus the worst team in baseball and we

always drop a game in a series vs. those dolts.

What was wrong with his performance? I think he battled pretty good.

He sure didn't impress me. 10 hits, home run on a stupid stupid pitch, seemed to me to be falling behind everyone, and so on.

On a night where your two big sluggers are out, it would be nice if the starting pitcher can put the team on his back and pitch a masterpiece. I'm sick of our pitchers "battling". How about they go out there and step up and dominate?

I wish. I see no evidence that any of the five starters with the POSSIBLE exception of Contreras have a dominating game in their arm. I can't even remember the last dominating game.

Successful outings but I don't know about domination. It's been so long though that my memory could have faded.
