Not if Garcia or Vazquez were on the way out. It's difficult to lose a trade like that.

 

Have any idea what teams were offering for those two?

goodnight

Remember when we said that the best way to improve our pitching at the deadline was to improve our offense?

Great approach by the Tiger hitters -- going the other way.

 

Good outing by Jose. Good job setting a tone for the series. Good job, Chicago White Sox.

Ain't much of a game. Too bad Jose didn't have his "A" game going. Man, I'm praying to God this isn't the start of what the Yankees did to the Dead Sox. I have no idea WTF I would do or say if that were to happen.

What happened to the Red Sox was much worse. They were only 1 1/2 games outwhen that series started, and It was in Boston.

Sooooooo......who's pitching tomorrow?????

Sox players should take notes on how Detroit hits the ball. They dont go out there and try to hit a homerun every f***ing pitch. They take what is given and try to go opposite way.

Is Brandon McCarthy still a reliever on this team? Why isn't he warming up yet? Is he secretly be stretched out or what?

 

Guillen hates BMac.

well i'm gonna go do my spanish now, nice waste of an hour and a half. hopefully we can at least split this series

Looks like their heading right into the dump....Our starting pitchers have lost velocity, and our power hitters cant hit Hr's.....This is bad

 

 

Well in 2004 we got raped by the twins when Carlos Lee was doing his windmill impersonation at home plate. And then we went into Detroit and couldnt beat them and lost like what 7 or 8 in a row. This kind of feels like then.

 

 

Danny Wright = Vazquez

Felix Diaz = Garcia

Conteras = Contreras

So...BMac should take all starts for Jose, Freddy and Javy.

 

He's gonna be busy.

Waiting for a Cy Young joke.

Does anyone still want to argue that we don't have the worst pitching of all the playoff contenders? It's not even close.

Go Orioles this week!

Waiting for a Cy Young joke.

I was going to drop the Cy Young line, but I decided others would be annoyed.

So why in the hell are we wasting our back end reliever in the 6th inning of a blow out. This makes no sense. This is where Matt pitches, and then Cotts will come in to a tie game in the 8th tomorrow night. WTF

Dude, I ain't worried about the Tigers. They can have the division for all I care. I'm more worried about us losing ground to the Twinkerbells.

This season, when all is said and done, will be considered a complete disappointment.

Have you watched the Red Sox lately?

It makes absolutely no sense.

At least Prison Break returns tonight. And I swear on my life that if anyone spoils anything that happens, I'll get banned by what I say (tempting jphat, isn't it?)!

It will go down as one of the biggest chokes of all-time if a team with this level of talent can't get into the playoffs.

but...but...but...remember last offseason when some said a team would SURELY overpay for one of our starters near the July trading deadline!!!! That teams overpay for starters midseason!!!!

 

That didn't work out well, either.

 

It may turn out after this season concludes the worst move Williams made wasn't standing pat with our roster, but failing to move McCarthy into the rotation.

I would've loved to see Soriano up in the third inning or whatever when there were runners on 1st and third in a 2-1 game. It's possible he could've relieved Jose Contreras a little bit

 

I love Neifi Perez

Basically they used our approach vs Verlander the last couple of times to beat Jose. Then we took their old approach to Jose to lose to Verlander. Quite funny really.
