For those watching, are shadows in play at home plate?

 

The sun hasn't been out since sunday.

It's been pretty sunny at work most of the afternoon. I'm in the northwest side near O'Hare.

It still baffles me that Owens honestly thought that his best use of offseason time was with a track coach, instead of a hitting coach or at least a baseball running coach. And that in Spring Training, he actually thought he just needed to stay healthy. How does he not know better? How do the Sox not tell him otherwise?

The White Sox offense hasn't NOT been out since Sunday.

 

Ramirez/Miller/Lillibridge. That could be the worst bottom 3 in the AL.

 

I don't know what's "lower" than Winnin' Ugly, but this day might define it. This guy was in the Frontier League....and he's blowing us away at 86-91 MPH.

 

You'd think we were facing Koufax, Drysdale or Sam McDowell out there. I mean, it's cold and dreary, I get that, but c'mon guys.

Don't hate on Miller. He's the 2009 version of the Milkman.

Whatever we're doing with the bats is not working.

But we make up for it by having Owens leading following that up in leadoff.

Maybe the whole team has swine flu. I heard it's going around.

How's this for optimism: we're going to light him up the second time around.

Allow myself to introduce...myself.

cold day out there and alot easy outs. hopefully second time around we start putting better swings

Maybe we can have Seattle agree to let Lillibridge hit off a tee.

Jakovasaurus on pace to throw 93 pitches through 9 innings.

I can see this happening also. This guy has incredibly mediocre stuff. Look what we did to Burgeson the 2nd time around in BAL. This guys is worse.

This lineup the Sox have is just not going to get it done in the majors. I also think if you want to play Owens, you play him in the game with Felix Hernandez, as you might need to try and steal more against him.

They might as well employ the Varitek shift for our entire lineup the way we're swinging.

First time around: .276/.382/.345/.727

Second time around: .333/.316/.500/.816

I'm still waiting for us to hit Adam Eaton.

Considering he is considered a fastball pitcher with this mediocre stuff, the sox should crush him.

Either that or 'coach pitch'.

Anderson would have caught that one.

Maybe we can have Seattle agree to let Lillibridge hit off a tee.

 

He would still pop it up or hit it off the luxury boxes down the 1B line with that swing of his.

 

We seem to collect hitters with really bad swings (Borchard, Owens, Lillibridge, Anderson, Fields).

 

Or hitters that just try to jack almost every pitch out of the park (Thome/Quentin).

First time around: .276/.382/.345/.727

Second time around: .333/.316/.500/.816

Am I a retard or is it unpossible to have a .333 avg and a .316 OBP?

Possible....Betancourt has a lower OBP than BA by a couple of points.

 

Nice range, JD. I can't believe Branyan has hit 4 homers with how he's looked today.

 

And now we return to our 1985-1988 White Sox offense. Keep those commercials ready to go...if you blink, you'll miss the half inning.
