fathom Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 27, 2008 -> 01:11 AM) Nice zone blue. The umps need to be called to task after this year of asshat calls, and dumb crap like the wandering strikezone. Here's an idea....maybe our manager shouldn't complain publically in the press about umpires during the first week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's another idea... maybe the umpires should a) learn the strike zone B ) be professional and fair and not hold Ozzie's comments from several weeks ago against him.

Dick Allen Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 QUOTE (shawnhillegas @ May 26, 2008 -> 07:11 PM) They were pretty good pitches. Not that its an excuse not to swing though. Where those pitches were located, if he swung, nothing good for the White Sox would have happened. Chances are he would miss. I suppose he may have been able to foul the second one off to stay alive.

Capn12 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hey, one of our starting pitchers is going to get a No Decision....that RARELY happens this season Although, this is one I'm kinda glad to have at least gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that they hold it against Ozzie, these f***ers cant call home run calls. Remember the Crede call in Baltimore. A blind monk from Tibet could of called that correctly. The wandering zone is all over the league. Not only does it change from ump to ump, but from inning to inning and not all the time do both teams get the same zone. They are bad league wide.

Dick Allen Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 For 1 inning or so, Dotel is as nasty as they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Dotel looks crisp, he will get the 8th no doubt. When Dotel pitches in the low 90s, he is so much better than mid 90s because commands his fastball. When he throws harder, he always waslks hitters.

shawnhillegas Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 It's so hilarious that, at this point in the season, OC is universally loathed, and Linebrink's contract is the absolute least of our concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
