Wasn't that our beloved Thome's forte? Oh wait....it wasn't.

No, his forte was the 3 run home run that wins games 4-2. Like...for the Twins today.

Do you really have that much confidence in Juan Pierre?

 

Pierre actually has sucess with RISP and is a contact hitter. Alexei doesn't have great discipline. Runner on 3rd less than 2 out, I'm more comfortable with Alexei cause he can hit the ball to the OF.

I have more confidence in Pierre to get a hit right now than anyone on this team.

horrible AB.

 

 

Guess PK doesnt like straight fastballs.

It wasn't a horrible at-bat. He at least worked the count. You make outs most of the time in baseball. If that was a horrible at-bat, most at-bats are horrible.

Ugh, OZZIEBALL! Konerko got a massive hanger, and couldn't do anything with it. Pena's in to blow this game open.

 

Again, how is this ozzie's fault that 2 of the players (and 2 top hitters) failed? I don't understand the logic, its baffling. Was Pierre going yard?

Well, thanks Tigers for proving the point that it would have been unwise to overspend on Putz for 2011.

 

Now the problem is that we have to replace two back-end relievers with who exactly?

 

Scott Linebrink? Pena?

Sale makes sense, you can see him getting it done, but are we sure we want to make him the 2nd lefty out of the pen? Maybe.

This team sucks dick right now.

Jhonny Peralta says "I have an H in my name and you don't."

I blame this on you.

We gave up the first out to a pitcher that was struggling mightily.

We keep playing for one run when our pitching staff is falling apart. Tony Pena needs to not be put into close games, as he's fallen apart as well.

There was no one in scoring position there.

 

And the White Sox are reverting back to the mediocre team they always should have been.

Beckham wants to be a speed demon. Try the hit and run or let him try and steal. Where is the running game other than Pierre?

If Pierre were to single, that pushes Beckham to 3b and either a ground ball to the right or a fly ball might score him. Pierre probably has a 50/50 shot of hitting a ground ball to the right side even if he were to swing away.

Probably was said earlier, but Thornton not available today?

Yawn. Nice try.

 

Cross Pena off the list for next year too.

 

He's nothing but DJ Carraso with better stuff. Sure, he's had 2-3 nice outings when he went long and saved us, but he hasn't done us any favors recently.

 

I'm actually thinking we would be better off with Brandon Allen fo 2011.

That 22 game hitting streak is terrible isn't it?

Sale is the 2nd lefty in the bullpen.

All I know is we've bunted a lot with a runner on first and no outs this year, and very rarely has it worked out well.

so that's the reason? IF pierre gets a hit? Awesome.

 

What about IF Alexei doesn't swing at a ball in the dirt? What about IF PK hits a gapper?

 

So stupid

 

 

I really hope we don't let Sale languish as the second lefty in the bullpen next year.
