Konerko is the anti-Dye with RISP. He's really picked up the team quite a bit this year with 2 outs.

 

Nice job, Paulie. Let's get this game and bear down for the King Felix/Danksie match-up.

I'm telling you, all signs point to us scoring many runs today.

If Colon keeps pitching like this, and we've got Danksy going tonight...I'll be content with a few more.

I'm telling you, all signs point to us scoring many runs today, assuming our 8-9-1 don't f*** it up.

 

Much like Jim Thome against a pitcher like Russ Ortiz, I think Quentin would go 6-10 with 3 homers against this guy.

Ernie bowman has the most at-bats in history (125) with batting average>obp... in 1962 his average was .184 while his obp was .181.

Johnson's swing on the strike 3 is as feeble as you'll ever see.

I looked it up. Thome is swinging at an inordinate amount of 1st pitches this year (up to 38%, 25% for his career). He's 1-9 when he puts the first pitch in play.

Way to get us back in the dugout Bartolo

Bart looks dominant. Both of his starts at home have been impressive. (thus far)

Crazy stat...as of last weekend, J.J. Hardy hadn't swung at a first pitch all year.

Time to f*** this thing up.

 

 

67 pitches through 5.

Possible good news with Josh Hamilton headed to the DL

Ramirez - Miller - Lillibridge - Owens up coming. Look out world!

Only 8 pitches that inning. Way to go, Bart.

 

He's really pitched pretty well in 3 of 4 starts, with the exception of the Baltimore game and one pitch by Thornton with the bases loaded against Ben Zobrist.

 

One of the better FA signings (dollar value wise) of the offseason so far by KW.

Bartolo is looking good, but mostly cause these guys arent getting good swings.

 

Our offense looks bored.

WHy does the WGN scoreboard thingy have a blue cloud floating above it for no reason?

I hate this f***ing lineup, not entertaining in the least.

If AJP ever gets injured, we really will see Tyler Flowers as our starting catcher.

High outside strike is in play today

Holy cow....the Lillibridge honeymoon is over. Send him to AA please!

I hate you Brent Lillibridge. He's so overmatched even when facing an Independent league pitcher.

Lillibridge is a strikeout machine. This is like watching an NL game, now because he failed at extending the inning the pitcher must leadoff next inning.

 

 

 

so f***ing weak

I hate you Brent Lillibridge. He's so overmatched even when facing an Independent league pitcher.

 

He made that 90 mph fastball look like Zumaya threw it.

Lillibridge is the perfect September call-up, as he can come off the bench to run or play D in the 9th. However, having him on the 25 man roster is just insane and pathetic. Tough inning coming up for Bartolo.
