Just looked at the score...ha.

Contreras and Nix

 

Didn't the dynamic duo both make errors in Jose's last start too?

Yay, first to 100! Wait... not RBIs? First to 100 ERRORS? Awesome.

A HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet Swish would love to be back on the White Sox.

Didn't a few posters here always remarked that Nix was GG material,I wish I could remember who they were...

Nix makes Ramirez look like Ozzie Smith.

One baserunner in 5 innings against the 1.88 WHIP Mitre.

How many other people on this board notice that there is AT LEAST one game per week where you just give thanks that the White Sox weren't no-hit?

 

This is one of them. And I am as serious as I can be, there is one a week.

Hey, we would've manufactured a run if there wasn't any out before the Thome double. That's something we seem to have problems with.

So starting Contreras today is the most unexplainable move the Sox brass have made in the last decade, which is really saying something. Watch him not even get DFA'd after this game, too.

Only Cotts over Buerhle in 2003 at Yankee Stadium and having to start Vazquez in the first game of the playoffs (but that was because of the four man rotation we used down the stretch)...would rival this. But this season turned for the worse finally in the middle of all those losses at Fenway that were winnable games.

 

Supposedly, the White Sox were considering Hudson and Torres (not Carrasco) for the start.

He won't get DFA'd. He'd get relegated to the bullpen, but he won't be DFA'd.

Jose pitched today because Peavy has less chance to get injured in the minors <_>

Down 8-0 in the 5th inning. Contreras has to go.

anyone here really believe Jose would have a good outing?

 

This was to be expected and he never should've started

Well one poster who thought he was our best option today also thinks or at least thought Jose is our best pitcher. I'm guessing that's based on "stuff" and 2005ness.

The offense is fine. Dick Allen told me so.

wow that was an amazing play

Mitre averaging an amazing 11 pitches an inning.

 

I thought Sunday was get-away day, not Saturday? Embarassing performance in a national TV broadcast which will do nothing for our September attendance...they better market the hell of out Peavy, because Beckham has fallen back to earth and there's really nothing to be excited about for the remainder of this year but for Tyler Flowers, Daniel Hudson and perhaps Viciedo.

 

Ozzie smart to realize Beckham probably needed a game off....about 1/2 a game too late. Funny that we were arguing months ago that Beckham was "benched" (McDowell column) when he's probably been over-relied upon by Ozzie, if anything.

Illi sighting at second base

nix to 3b lillibridge in at 2b

 

lovely

It's sad that we have a crappier team than the Cubs right now. I fully expect to lose that game later this week.

Wish I didn't pick up tickets for the Oakland series in September. Bought them when we were still within a couple games. I might just eat them now.

Out of our entire pitching staff I think we only have 5 guys worth keeping for next year, not counting Glass Joe in the minors.

 

Floyd

Danks

Buehrle

Carrasco

Thornton

so what exactly did we accomplish here? put jose in and run him up 3.1 innings, 77pitches 9 runs 8earned 2bb and 3K's, Peavy could have gone 3.1 innings done the exact same thing.

 

OZZIE/KENNY,

ITS TIME TO BRING PEAVY UP AND BE DONE WITH THE TRAIN RECK JOSE CONTRERAS. DUMP HIM SOMEWHERE WHETHER IT BE AAA OR THE MEXICAN COTTON PICKING LEAGUE WHO CARES SEND HIM PACKING.
