What is all this horses***? Why are you engaging Balta HERE with this? Go to one of the other politics forums for that, C12...

 

If Humber can get through this inning without allowing another hit, he will be the 1st pitcher in Sox history to have 4 straight starts of 7+ IP w/ 3 hits or less. Billy Pierce/Humber are tied with 3 starts.

 

Deck is stacked all of a sudden...

Well, this game went south in a hurry.

 

Can't blame Humber for making a bad pitch there. It's not like they're knocking him around the ballpark.

 

Crain time. Maybe he'll get one more batter.

 

Uh-oh...now things are really getting interesting. We'll be lucky to have a 4-3 lead at the end of this. Another game where the Sox offense shut down after getting an early lead.

Pen better be working overtime.

ouch.

f***.

GET HIM OUT OF THE GAME

Gotta think oz waited one batter too long there.

Ozzie clearly left him in for one batter too long.

There's no such thing as an easy win against Oakland for the White Sox.

 

That series at home against the A's was the key turning point of 2011.

 

 

Great K. He's piling up the strikeouts.

Need the DP ball here.

Filthy! No homers here Crain.

OK, that slider was f***ing NASTY.

He wasn't exactly getting hammered...just a bunch of bulls*** hits...Crain could have easily given up the same hits...that one to Suzuki was ridiculous.

Good start jc

It's always weird to see things like that happen... Consecutive hits where they're all soft rollers

Damnit.

 

Love how we take a f***ing break everytime we get a few run lead...

 

 

*Sweet pick.

Well, Crain showed balls there. He's still proving to be worth the money.

Dejesus was locked in against him tonight, so Suzuki should have been last batter.

Rock on JC

At least Rios could have tried....but you don't want that tying run on 2nd.

 

Kouzmanoff actually thought it wasn't quite deep enough.

 

Guess the Humber wild pitch and McCarthy's errant pick-off throw equal themselves out now.

 

 

Now the Sox offense has to wake up against a tough OAK bullpen.

Yeah, I thought that too.

 

He seems like he's getting stronger. He was dropping his breaking pitches right on the plate like a 1/2 foot.

I found it enjoyable that Wimpy pointed out Beckham's bad mechanics more than Hawk or Stoney has all season. Wimpy's fantastic!

That f***ing sucks for Humber. He dominated the whole f'in game, and then the A's get 4 s***ty hits, and he ends up w/ just a decent game. 1 damn hit was actually hit hard. I feel like we are playing the Twins of yesteryear.

Time to finish watching this one from bed. Wouldn't mind seeing Crain out there, but not sure if they have lefties coming up.

And so goes Beckham's season.

 

He was up to .232 and now he's mired in the 210's.

 

 

McCarthy has faced the minimum of hitters with the exception of the four run inning. On cruise control now.

 

Thornton for the bottom of the 8th apparently.

I'm with you on the pessimism this year but I laughed that you didn't show up until s*** started going wrong...
