I would like to win this baseball game.

God this is a blast from the past. A good one. Maybe Wimpy will even Hawk out.

I used to think McCarthy's motion looked a lot like Mike MacDougal's. It's definitely changed.

Lead off man on.

One thing you have to really like about Humber.

 

Like Buehrle, and to a slightly lesser extent Danks, he just gets the ball and throws it.

 

Nothing like Contreras or Jason Bere, in that respect.

 

 

 

And McCarthy has definitely changed to more of a 4/5th's or 3/4th's delivery instead of his old overhead style mixing in straight fastballs and 12 to 6 curveballs.

 

Pretty amazing, Brandon's only walked 2 in each of the last two and one of those was intentional. Poor guy lost his last 2 games, but they were both complete games I think.

Bases loaded, no outs. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SCORE

Sox up 1-0, despite Alex's best effort to GIDP.

Got to love Rios' downward swing on that pitch. He tried his hardest to GIDP.

McCarthy got squeezed on that 2nd pitch to omar.

Goddamn I love Omar Vizquel. 2-0 Sox, 2nd and 3rd, 1 out for Gordon.

I

LETS GO GORDON! SLASH ONE TO RF!

I used to think McCarthy's motion looked a lot like Mike MacDougal's. It's definitely changed.

Full windup now rather than the quick one. Probably easier on his body this way.

Those necklaces are getting out of control in baseball.

 

And another thing about McCarthy is he's shifted from a flyball to a groundball/sinker pitcher.

 

Good recovery from Gordon to get solid contact on that ball...just enough to get Rios in. DeJesus with an average arm

3-0 Sox. Hope that's enough for Ace Humber.

Well, Gordon smashed on to RF, just too hard.

Nice swing by Gordon, he was unlucky there. Still got the sac fly though.

Thank god Pierre has 1 tool left.

With the amount of super specific, borderline ridiculous stats there are in the world I wonder if they have one for these Oakland pitchers at home on balls that are caught in foul territory on the baselines that ANYWHERE else in the league are in the stands for a foul. Some sort of formula for that. Cause that's gotta be one of the reasons the Oakland pitchers have the great numbers.

And Omar Vizquel in the middle of yet another White Sox rally.

 

You have the feeling Ozzie's going to stick with him for awhile now.

 

Jesus, Pierre's slow now. He almost didn't beat that ball out.

 

 

 

It worked, but Jean Pierre was picked OFF YET AGAIN. Just a horrible throw by McCarthy, self-inflicted damage here.

Please, please, please get rid of Pierre before the season's lost.

Pierre sucks, he should of been out. Sox catch a break there.

THEY LOOK LIKE US!!!

4-0 Sox. Wimpy is even canceling out Pierre suck.

Juan Pierre's bad baserunning led to a run
