Shades of last year where batters can just plant their feet and swing as hard as they want against Buehrle's pitches. He's got to get that change-up low and away working again.

 

Well, you won't see a worse AB than that by AJP. The fact he even tried to bunt in that position is so pathetic. I don't give a s*** about the L/R stuff....get him the f*** out of the 4th spot.

Man, we are so horrible right now at the plate. can't move runners over, not hitting line drives, no walking, its getting down right sad.

too bad erstad cant hit 9 times in a row since hes the only one that seems to have a clue right now

I'm amazed that Buehrle (not to be confused with Buerhle) gives us 2 runs, and everybody is pissed at him. Holding the opposing team to two runs per game should put us in a position to win most days.

We have a guy that all he does is roll over and hit grounders to the right side, yet we have him square around to bunt. The fact Ozzie said he's going to play more smallball now with Thome out is a scary thought.

 

Crede with an out in the air for the 500th time this season. Thankfully we didn't give him a new contract.

Since Erstad is our best hitter right now (gasp), why not bat him third and put one of the lesser evils in the lead off spot, like Iguchi, Uribe (he's like our third best hitter right now), or Pablo. I am not particularly fond of the idea, but something needs to be done to shake things up.

Something needs to be done, as the PK/AJP/Dye combo won't work.

With everybody else being so bad, it is easy to forget how bad Crede has been. I think this is proof that he could never be a 3,4, or 5 hitter/the big hitter on any team.

Bad 0-2 pitch call

He's not getting on top of anything. Even when he hits it good, it's just a warning track fly ball. The only time he's hit line drives is on his 2 strike protect swing.

 

Ha....pathetic all around. And kiss my ass Hawk....that's about his 10th mistake out there.

That would be AJP's specialty.

How was the stolen base call at second?

In other words, he's swinging like the Crede of old/before the 2005 playoffs. He just looks clueless and some sucker is probably going to give him 10+ mil a year during his free agent year.

"Thats his first mistake in the outfield"

 

Uh huh, ok Hawk.

 

Getting beat by Iztruis makes me sad in pants.

They really do act like Erstad's family members by trying to make excuses for why he would do something bad.

He was safe...had a terrible slide though. He went on first move by Buehrle.

Because the offense has anorexia, this game is over.

Meanwhile, we're two innings away from a collision with the Angels' pen again.

 

I was about to say this is one of the best innings I've ever seen Mark throw and then, poof, it's a run on the board.

Because the offense has anorexia, this season is over.

 

 

I wish I could see something that would make me think we can win over 85 games this year.

gurrrrrrr

 

we need this game... lets go boys!!!

Well, at least we're not sending Brandon McCarthy to Charlotte...we would have been worse off with Brandon in the rotation, and Garcia's struggling too, as predicted.

Bulls sweep

 

We must be near league-lead in quality starts, no?

No...around top third.

 

Intentional walk to Erstad here?

 

The way the Sox are hitting, it might be the best approach. Of course, it won't happen, but it would be hilarious. Meanwhile, Erstad is 14 for his last 41 or something like that.

15 for 42. .357

Man, I wish we had an arm like Kelvim Escobar in our rotation.

yeah, but according to everyone on soxtalk.... erstad sucks, so we should trade him for a dollar bill.

I know his overall stats aren't great yet, but Ersty's numbers as a leadoff hitter are fantastic right now. As much as people b****ed about him there(including myself), he's really done a very good job. Keep it up Darin.
