Konerko continues to be absolutely worthless. This team is so much better without him.

 

Easily. I think it is clear that Ozzie is getting impatient with him.

why does ozzie play konerko he has proved day after day that he is useless to this team.

The velocity police on this site can take a deep breath now, Jenks is throwing 95-96.

 

Dangit I'm part of the hitting police.

The nowadays unclutch Crede is our last hope.

Crede will try to equal his homer when he comes up, this isn't looking good.

if they continue to play like this they are going NO WHERE fast.

I can't believe Aviles, Gload, and German beat us.

This game sucked.

This game is Ova....man this is pathetic.

Nice game Ozzie and coaching staff.

15 plus hits and lose for the 2nd time in 3 weeks!

this one is on thornton -- he sucked

The offense did enough to win this game. Blame the pitching - the best pitcher on this staff failed to deliver, which is rare, and the bullpen blew it in the 8th.

Nice game Ozzie and coaching staff.

 

We were up 1 in the 8th. Stop getting on Ozzie about a pitching change you thought he should of made in the 4th inning.

 

Game is on the bullpen and Cox.

Well Danks giving up 6 ER through 4 didn't help either

This loss really pisses me off. Great job bullpen. Good job coaching staff. PK you've been awesome.

Hence the coaching staff comment. Also, we have to be the only team in baseball that doesn't pr for their catcher in the 8th inning in a situation like that. Also, I still feel like Crede should have been guarding the line when German was up.

Great game by the coaching staff today:

 

Ozzie keeps Danks in to face Avilies

Ozzie keeps Thornton in to face Guillen

Crede isn't guarding the line

Cox sends AJ

 

You can also say no pinch runner for AJ was stupid as well.

Embarrassing series. Should never lose a series to that team. Damn shame.

Not a very good way to start the 2nd half of the season, Jeeze........

Nice job, Cox. You can't make AJ into something he's not. Anderson gets a nice clutch hit and for what? You to send him and get him thrown out by a mile. Not to pile on, but my god, watch how the leftfielder is playing shallow to begin with, and AJP is the runner. We can't wish him home. Use your brain. We let Royals off the hook. Guillen woulda had to make a horrendous play for us to score. Plenty of other goats as well. I hate to lose a game when we get that many hits.

I saw a replay of the Cox decision of sending AJ and that was horrible. But even had he kept AJ at third with the bases loaded, Thome struck out, and Konerko would've found a way to get out as well probably.

Thornton faced German, Dotel faced Guillen

Thornton faced German, Dotel faced Guillen

That's what I meant. Thornton has to get 1 guy out and he can't, and instead of taking him out there and bringing in Line (is he alive?) or Jenks, he keeps him in. Wow.

You pitch a guy differently when it is 1st and 2nd with two out than when it is bags loaded 1 out.
