I hope that Oz pinch hits Vizquel with Rios or Nix.

God damn, I left when it was 5-1 to pick up my dogs from the groomers and now it's 7-6?! The hell...

SA, and as I just noted below Linebrink screwed Danksie out of a win. That blows.

How long are we stuck with Pierre's contract?

Thats the good news.

end of 2011.

How long are we stuck with Pierre's contract?

another 700 days or so

I hope that Oz pinch hits Vizquel with Rios or Nix.

Rios in Chicago. Wife just had a baby.

Rios is back in Chicago

Fathom, I agree. This point ain´t b****in but I am really disappointed Linebrink blew another great effort by Danksie. He didn´t deserve that after really battling thru 5 innings.

 

It happens with relievers, Linebrink had been ok up until this point. The problem is that outside of Thornton and Jenks, our relievers haven't pitched in a lot of tight spots.

I get the impression that they have. They just haven't done very well in them.

Another 0-3 game for Pierre. What really annoys me is that the one time he did get on, he didn't try to steal 2nd or 3rd and was on the bases for probably 20 pitches.

Pierre and Vizquel are just a vortex of fail.

Pena, Putz, Santos, and Linebrink have had very few important appearances, IMO.

Nice excuse.

Looks like Becks likes the high pitches.

Boy Texiera made no effort to go get that one.

We have improved on responding when the other team punches us in the mouth...we have been responding over the last week or two instead of just packing it in. Thats a sign IMO that Ozzie hasn't lost this team yet...

Six outs.

Beckham has no confidence today, which is surprising after his last few games. A trend I noticed last year with him is that when he struck out in his first AB, he seemed to struggle the rest of the game. Seems like his Ks come in bunches.

Putz should try to finish the 8th, then Thornton should close today. Jenks is too risky with only a 1 run lead.

And also hung Vizquel out to dry while on second. He streaked toward third and then stopped. Vizquel was picked off because he was following Pierre's lead.

Which shouldn't be the case, because he is a kid that takes things in stride.

 

But you're right...he is ultra lost right now.

Let's just hope this is the absolute low point of the season for Beckham (0/5, 3 K's) and it's only up from here...nothing else you can say, his problems have been dissected to the point where it's counterproductive for him to think up there.
