f***

Here comes pitch 100.

thome's going to launch one here

cmon jim, we need more runs.

And with your philopshy we'd be s*** up a creek anytime we ran into a good pitcher.

 

 

You are right, let keep stealing when we have not shown we can steal on I Rod all series. The problem here is that we are not so much facing a good pitcher as running ourselves out of innings.

boo

thome's going to launch one here*

 

*to the second baseman

alright freddy, one more good inning then get the game to McCarthy

Thome's really pulled the ball too much this week. It's no surprise his only homers were hit the opposite way.

yes

you should probably change the word launch to... maybe to dribble?

A change up over the heart of the plate? Swinging and missing.

Looked high to me. Oh well, quick 1-2-3 inning anyway. Cmon Freddy,more meatballs hit to dead center please

I like to look at it more as a failed shuttle launch.

Just like if we followed your philosphy Cintron wouldn't have pushed the envelope in the first inning and went for 3rd. Had that happened we wouldn't have scored a run that inning and who knows what could have happened.

 

Dye got picked off, he almost never does, s*** happens. BA running in that situation is text book baseball. If it doesn't work, oh well, you got Pods leading off the inning and thats what you want.

 

Of course they went down 1-2-3 the next inning but oh well.

If this inning gets to Inge, I hope the bullpen faces him.

I'm not fishing for anything....it just amazes me that this team is playing .600 and has a 2 game lead in the wild card....yet many posters continually say we are doomed for the season and not headed to the playoffs.

 

We are leading in this game and ready to sweep the division leading Tigers...it should be a time of positive energy and expectations.

 

This has been a great week, a great weekend, and a great game thus far for the White Sox.....can't everyone just be happy about it rather than forecasting doom?

 

where did i say we were doomed for the playoffs? why choose my post? i said THIS game felt bad. wow, melodramatic.

 

lol are you serious???

 

ok what is the definition for a cardinal rule then your all-knowingness?

 

i'm not saying watching the ball isn't important...obviously it is...but the way i was brought up playing baseball, watching the ball was just a REGULAR rule. CARDINAL rules being things that go unsaid...more strategy based, not fundamentals of baseball stuff.

lol alright i'll buy that.

Why, Inge has helped Freddy twice.

alright freddy, one more good inning then get the game to McCarthy

I'd rather see Macdougal, Thrornton, Jenks if he gets through this one unscathed

MacDougal won't pitch today.

that's a lot to ask for in two straight games.

 

looks like cotts is up.

Why, Inge has helped Freddy twice.

Simple...Inge gets up = there's a baserunner. Maybe if there's 2 out I could put up with him facing him.

 

Cotts better face Granderson whatever inning he comes up.

huh... ok. thanks.

 

i mean i always imagined that a cardinal rule was one that was more important than all the others, hence the use of the word cardinal.

 

guess i was wrong.

well cotts is warming up

 

so were both wrong

MacDougal won't pitch today.

Riske and McCarthy should both be ready to go.
