Comon guys don't you think we can come back?

Linebrink should have pitched this inning. No excuses.

 

I still dont think so.. youre not gonna be a very successful ball club if you only have one guy that can hold the opponent...

Pretty pathetic outing tonight from the pitching staff, not sure getting those runs earlier woulda mattered if we're gonna keep walking the leadoff man

really contreras had a nice outing i thought...boone was fine, the IF hit hurt us...what can you say, the yankees twice worked to a 2-0 count with runners on base, sat dead red on the fastball and capitalized while we didnt...

Yes! Linebrink should be in now instead of MacDougal. Keep em at 9!!!

Damon and Giambi have done NOTHING all year and Sox pen makes them look like 1998 not 2008!

Dotel blows this year. Linebrink is good tho. 1 out of 2 ain't bad. I didn't expect a win tonight with the Yankmees Ace on the mound versus Contreras. But we should win the next 2.

 

we also should have won the last two times Buehrle was up against two guys I never heard of, and those didn't go too well either......"should" is not a wise forecast with our chicago white sox..........

Think on the bright side....at least when Paul Konerko hit the grand slam in Game 2 of the World Series, his bat didn't break prior to the ball hitting it like Swisher's did.

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion. I think you still have a shot to win the game only down 2.

We'll be fine if Contreras can pitch like he did tonight.

We'll be fine if Contreras can pitch like he did tonight.

and if Danks continues to look like a bad ass we'll be pretty damn good.

phoenix has been outscored 17-2 in the third quarter with only 2:49 to play in the third....ouch

You are correct, I shouldn't lump Contreras in with that dungpile performance from the pen. Jose did his job against the Yanks.

This has been just a terrible day all around.

No one throwing strikes from the pen = check

People trying to hit home runs against a sinkerball pitcher that doesnt give up dongs = check

Getting men on, then having your asshole pucker up as you try to park every pitch =check

Juan Uribe and his 7 IQ swinging for the fences and popping up because he obviously missed the bases loaded walk = check

Pitchers s***ting the bed = check

 

Nice effort all around tonight.

hawk didnt finish that sentence about clemens changing his delivery but the word he was searching for was 'roid-ball'

Questionable decision making by our skipper = check

Bad defense = check

where has swishers power been? i love the obp, but i thought hed slug a bit more...hope the leadoff thing isnt affecting him

game over.. goodnite

This team has left 9 guys in scoring position....they don't deserve to win.

Yeah, against Chien Ming Wang.... it's not like the Sox were facing some scrub on the mound today. The Sox offense did everything they could be expected to do: work up the pitch count, drive Wang out of the game ASAP, give your pitcher the lead and get into the bullpen.

 

Every once in a while you need your pitching to get it done for you. Unfortunately the Octavio Meatball Express f***ed that all up. f*** you, Octavio. You're just a rich man's Mike Jackson.

The ball's not jumping off of his bat right now. Everything is dying at the track. He'll be just fine, we don't need homers from him.

I want to know where the batting averages are. I understand that we are walking more, but when the entire team outside of 2 people are hitting .230 and below. If you keep the ball in the park on this team, we cant score. The lift and pull offense is back in full affect, the only difference is we have people walking. We cant have guys hitting .230 into June and expect to win. We need our offense to start to string hits and put a big inning on outside of the dong. Tonight I watched a lot of warning track power. I have seen this before.

 

Last year our low BA was the perfect storm. This years excuse.

 

 

 

Where the hell was that pitch?

And it's been quite warm out.

Sorta off topic, but it's too bad we didn't trade Garland for Pat Burrell.

Really? You'd want him over Quentin???
