Who said we'd be fine without Quentin. I think everybody know that it woudl be really tough to win without him.

 

Not what I read in the Sunday game thread.

Well, thats nuts. He pretyt much carried our team in big situations. And now with pretty much everybody struggling but Paul and KG, we're gonna be struggling with no Q

Pathetic display of execution tonight. 0-4 in bunt attempts, are you serious? I dont know why Ozzie didn't let Alexie swing that bat with that dude being so wild. Why give up an out when you have 3 cracks to win the game. Oh well- they deserved to lose that game. 0-5 vs the Jays this year, not good.

WE BETTER TAKE THE 2ND GAME

They have the formula that beats us.

 

They keep the ball in the park, and dont walk the world. If we cant bang the ball over the fence we are done. We cant score any other way. Its over the fence or we go home.

 

 

 

And Oz didnt help there, taking the bat out of the hands of your best batter with RISP? Not a very good move at all.

what did he do?

At least Alexei is usually capable of putting a bunt down. Virtually no one else on this roster is, and it's frightening that it has been 5 years and still Ozzie does not realize this.

 

OK, I get it, they are Major Leaguers and should be able to do the simple things. However, we just can't, no matter how many times we try. Let's play to our strengths and stop giving up outs.

Nick Swisher could be the most over rated player in White Sox history. In the last two games he has looked at strike three ala Scott Podsednik three times. With runners in scoring position in huge situation.

 

To call him a run producer is sickening.

thats why he shouldn't of had Alexie bunt. You figure our only way is 3 cracks at a winning homerun, not to mention they failed moving the man over like 4 other times before that.

WE BETTER TAKE THE 2ND GAME

 

Watch this be the lineup:

 

Cabrera SS

Swisher LF

Dye RF

Griffey DH

Konerko 1B

Ramirez 2B

Uribe 3B

Hall C

Owens CF

Swisher makes it look very hard to get a base hit.

Live by the home run...die by the home run. That's been this club in a nutshull. The Twins top the majors with a .315 average with runners in scoring position. Granted this isn't the only reason why the Twins have stayed in this race, but in games like this it becomes all the more apparent when we can't get men over and in when they're on second with less than one out, at how without a homer we're out of games like this. Let's not even talk about our inability to lay down a bunt...

I also want to state for the record

 

I'm f***ing sick and tired of Phil Cuzzi's crew umpiring our games

 

These guys, particularly Cuzzi, hate Ozzie and probably AJ as well and wouldn't surprise me in the least if their feelings towards them lead to "missed" calls, such as the interference call at 2nd with Alexei, as well as other possible balls/strikes calls

 

I hate phil cuzzi, i can't wait til he's gone.

Fields will probably play 3rd, haha

Alexei has no power? He's also pretty damn good vs LHP.

That was what we used to call "a joke" in the old country.

seems like so much damage is getting done against the sox with two outs. That used to be a danks issue last year that seems to have spread.

man,i hope the twins lose tonite

Oh for sure. He struck out 2x in the bot 9th in the last 2 games. If only he could tie games up with homers or get on base for homers or hit walkoff homers he wouldn't suck so badly.

 

hahah, this place is comical after a loss, makes the rest of work go by faster.

He is hitting .228 I suppose the fact that he hit the walk off home run in the extra inning game and had a nice game Saturday alleviates the .228 average becasue he does draw the timely walk.

 

Nick Swisher is not a good hitter. To get called out on strikes like he has tells me he is not a good hitting.

 

I suppose the singing and the dancing make up for it though.

 

The line Hawk uses "Don't tell me what you do, tell me when you do it," could be the dumbest line ever. A .330 hitter is more useful than a .230 hitter no matter when they get the big hit.

 

Sorry to hurt your feelings by thinking Nick Swisher sucks because I really think he does and the .228 batting average and below average defense back me up.

So basing the "he is the most overrated player in white sox history" off of the last 2 games is somehow different than saying he is the best after 2 walkoffs/game tieing? Right, sounds good.

 

I'm not saying he is the savior of this team, but to overreact after every big K is retarded. I'd still take him any day over any of the other OF options we pursued in the off season based on age/contract and ability.

Based on the fact that Thome, Konerko, Dye and Cabrerra can be blasted on this board and all have out produced Nick Swisher this year and in their career. Yet everyone loves Nick Swisher. What exactly has he done this year other than sing and dance and get Hawk all giddy when he does have nice day.

Swish is blasted right along with them, but since he doesn't have the personality of a piece of wood, he gets some leniency. It might not have a huge impact, but having a guy around that seems to actualy enjoy playing baseball for a living is a good thing to have on the team. It would be hard to watch a team of PK's sitting on the bench golf-clapping for a walk-off grand slam.

 

Again, I'm not saying he is the greatest man alive, but would still take him over the others who could have been in his place. Oh and what about the weeks PK was out? Who fills in for him and actually produces? Thome? Ozuna? Ross Gload?

He sings too ? What a guy !
