fathom Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 QUOTE (whitesoxmanager @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:27 AM) it seems like we just played out this game knowing we had already lost. That's happened way too often this year. Just seems like there's no focus from the get-go. It's even more apparent when looking at the starts we're getting off to in games. I wonder how many innings we've led this year compared to innings we've trailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Lillibridge isn't stellar in CF. Already said it earlier that Nix's outstanding/out of this world glove can't do everything. Espeically when your trotting out Lillibridge in CF (SS is his strength) and Pods in RF.. (Quentin the better defender) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Phillips is making a great point. If $2 million is nothing to pay a mediocre players, why is it too much to pay for top of the line coaches? If Texas' hitting coach makes as much difference as been talked about, wouldn't giving him $2 million be a bargain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2009 -> 08:27 PM) Outside of one nice play vs Toronto, I would say his defense has been disappointing. At least Nix looks like, at worst, a strong defensive back-up. He's made some nice plays tonight, can he play short? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 QUOTE (scenario @ May 3, 2009 -> 08:28 PM) Yeah, but this inning has potential to be another ugly black mark on his resume. I am VERY happy to eat my words. Nice job by Carrasco to bail out of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I don't know who Texas is going to trot to the mound in the 9th, but Danks would have had to pitch a shutout to get a win tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was sadly all too simple to call. QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 3, 2009 -> 01:50 PM) Quite possibly 4 non-big league quality hitters in that lineup with Alexei doing his best impression of one thus far this season making it 5. Thome being out of the lineup is just sad, we don't deserve to win this one. Good luck Danksy, might have to pitch a shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) I am no alarmist, but our team definitely is not an impressive unit. In this economy I could picture a lot of crowds of 20,000 this summer if we continue to sort of suck. Edited May 4, 2009 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our pathetic offensive showing tonight was a foregone conclusion with the dead weight we threw out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Fortunatly then AL Central sucks big time. That's the only thing that's gotten my head straight looking up at this year. Noone wants to take the division so far, though Kansas City is better than some think though Greinke will come back down to earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
