You know something is up when the living White Sox rally, Andy Sisco, is recording outs.

Yankees lose, lets HOPE for a Minny loss too

I can't come up with the words to describe how big tomorrow is. We CAN'T lose 3 of 4 to these guys, especially with a very tough roadtrip coming up. Mark needs to DOMINATE tomorrow. f*** the quality start stuff.

 

yea

 

especially since all the fans worked so hard for these sellouts against this terrible team that we can't even beat

 

what a slap in the face it is to us to just play like s*** when we keep filling the park like this

I'm sure happy we used MacDougal for those 2/3 of an inning, when we were going to bring BMac in anyways.

now he's gonna waste mccarthy in this f***ing blowout. FIRE OZZIE NOW

The blowout win in the first game of the series was the worst thing in the world for this team.

Even if such a miraculous event would occur, I've learned this season not to select individual moments which may propel ourselves into a "rhythm."

 

I think I agree with you. I can't count how many times I've said to myself "yes, this is gonna be the play or game that sparks our run."

well that ross gload grand slam did lead to improved play

 

nothing that counts as a run though

The fact that Mark "I will give up the lead and have turned into long ball Marky" is on the hill tomorrow makes me most nervous.

So the soundbites from the team stating that they would play KC tough because they knew what was at stake was conjecture and bulls***.

...you realize that if he didn't use the pen, half the fan base would complain that he gave up during a critical series, don't you?

by the way since I wasn't around earlier in the game, has any one else noticed how off-balance Jim Thome is right now when he tries to turn on pitches

 

it looked like he's leaning back and not completely any transfer of power in his swing, so all the power has to come out of his arms, which may explain why he hasn't pulled a home run in a while

 

anyone notice this or am I crazy?

So did facing terrible pitching. We played terrible that entire Orioles series....we were lucky to win 2 games.

We gave up when we put an outfield of Pods, Mackowiak and Gload out there. Balls can find the holes with that trio out there.

 

Our manager thinks that we are playing split squad games in Tuscon still.

but our offense played well against roy halladay, the yankee bullpen and verlander

 

and the offensive approach improved somewhat (but seems to have reverted back now)

Thome's wrist issue has made it difficult to pull the ball with authority.

We actually caught some big breaks in those games. Maybe Teahen will throw away an easy DP ball tomorrow to help us win.

EXACTLY

alright 10 run rally right here

 

the fans that are still in the ballpark right now deserve their money back

When we face good pitching our hitters try to hit whats there. They hit line drives, they think back up the middle and oppo. They take pitches.

 

When we face a crappy pitcher, our guys eyes light up, they dip the back shoulder and try to let it fly.

The fact that Mark "I will give up the lead and have turned into long ball Marky" is on the hill tomorrow makes me most nervous.

 

Mark was a Juan Uribe botched double play away from probably throwing a complete game shutout against the Tigers. He's gonna have to be that good tomorrow. I pray the defense is good (Anderson better be in center).

Holy f***i n s***! back2back hits!!

Crede is going for the dong right here.

 

He did the typical step in the bucket, throw your bat the the low and away pitch popup to 2nd. Classic Corpseball there.

crede got himself out

 

why would you be aggressive like that in this situation

He looked better, but that's quite the stretch you're making.

Horrible at-bats by Crede tonight. Fortunately, I haven't been able to say that much this year.
