You know what I don't get....why isn't Uribe starting today? The Sox organization always talks about how he can carry a team when hot, and he seems to be hitting pretty good lately. Also, he had success in the past against Slowey, IIRC. Also, why did Ozzie let Javy pitch to Miguel Cabrera with an open base yesterday? Oh well, this team has to play better, end of story.

 

Needed to get something off your chest? haha

Wass is warming. Throwing in the towel.

Credit that run to 1st base ump and Alexei.

this is about the time of year that Redmond goes yard, then disappears again.

Did you see some of the hacks Uribe was taking yesterday? It was awful.

If you really believe Swisher would have continued his hot streak if he remained at first base, you are crazier than I thought. He's 0 for his last 15 with 6 k's. If Konerko shouldn't be playing, neither should he. Sorry to say, he's been a huge dissappointment.

 

Nick Swisher has been a huge bust. The only thing I've been impressed with by him is his defense at 1st base.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 07:28 PM)
SO did Geoff Blum lets go get him. Stop living in the past, this Konerko is hitting for less power than OC.

 

Neither Konerko or Swisher should be getting the free pass that they are. The thing about Swisher is he cost the Sox a player that is doing better than he is plus to pitchers one of which wold look good on the trtade market right now. The money I am not concerned about.

 

This team's defense is really bad right now, not that I am tellign anyone anything new.

In a game like this last thing an announcer should be doing is giggling like a 12 year old girl.

And this is why they usually pass us in August, and we sit home. We are just behind Texas for most errors committed. s***ty defense + homer only offense + pitching starting to get into a funk = usual PASB Whitesox Baseball Catch the fever.

Nope, didn't see the game. All I know is he's 7 for his last 15.

And that is a little more than one can say about konerko.

Good thing he held him from scoring.

 

Loaded with 1 out.

We really need some help. These starting pitchers will not get us to the playoffs.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 08:31 PM)
Konerko has 2 walks since coming off the DL. Swish has 15 in that time frame.

Wow, a guy with 6 career steals whose biggest offensive weapon is a walk. Face it, if Konerko or Thome performed the exact same way Swisher has, the vultures would be calling for their releases. For some reason Swisher gets a huge pass on this board, just like Vazquez, although the tide is starting to turn on Javy.

we laid on ass whoopin on the twins, they're returning the favor

PK should not be in the lineup. It's time for him to be benched.

I can't argue with the numbers, but it just seems that Nick has way better ABs than Paulie, even when he makes outs, which is obviously more often than not.

 

We are also better defensively with Swish at 1B and BA in center.

Nice play Fieldsy.

JFIELDS :wub:

nice heads up play by Fields to end the inning, nicely done

DP ends the inning. Only run that scored was a double gift.

yeah, Swish sees a crapload of pitches in each at bat

Because Swisher sees a lot of pitches per at bat, which gets him a lot of walks, I see your point.

 

Ditto on the 1B with Swish

Go f*** yourself Hawk. You are a coward.

 

Just the biggest whiner and excuse maker ever. He would make for one hell of a s***ty baseball coach, could you imagine?

 

No one can every play or pitch over anything. Concentrate on something else and inform the viewers the reason we're down 5-0. Hint: Not one f***ing call.

It will sure be interesting if the Sox lose the first 3 games of this series. KW wouldn't be able to say at the trade deadline "why make trades for a 1st place team".
