Holy f*** this is a terrible home plate umpire. Seriously, is this guy drunk?

It is going to be one of those days. Come on Jake stay tough.

Strike 3 dear lord.

110% a strike 3. What a joke of an umpire.

Arguing the contract is one thing, but it didnt handicap them from spending this year and it's not KW's fault if Ozzie overuses him.

 

I don't even think Ozzie overuses him. He's used him pretty good this year. Problem is he's a non-contributor on this roster that can't be released due to still having about 7.5 million dollars left on his deal.

Lucky that did not cost the Sox.

That sure was an odd inning.

A nasty factor of 74 on that curveball

 

I don't even know what a nasty factor is or how they figure it

That sure was an odd inning.

 

 

But, JP got out of it

That sure was an odd inning.

Very.

We're not going anywhere with this offense in the AL. The Giants can get away with their bulls*** in the NL. Viciedo and more Lilly is required. And NEVER give PK and CQ the same day off.

He was extended to be in a utility role. Screaming about bench signings is kind of ridiculous. Pierre? Obviously. Rios? He is losing that gamble. But to complain about the bench is a bit much. I'd love to see KW put together a couple teams with a more competent manager before I vilify him as well.

 

 

That's even dumber.

 

Why would you give someone $4-5 million per year to sit on the bench??? Basically, that's the same as Juan I Can Never Be Benched Pierre is making.

 

I just can't buy that the idea of the extension was to make him the 25th man on the roster.

 

That position is for guys like Vizquel or Lillibridge that you pay maybe $2-3 million combined.

 

We're not the Yankees that we can pay bench players $15 million plus.

The Internet is still a mysterious place to you, isn't it?

 

Lol, very much so...it's not working for me.

Rockies really do seem like our NL sister team. Time to get some more base runners!

I don't even know what a nasty factor is or how they figure it

Its mysterious in its ways, just go with it.

You are in blackout area probably.

Yes, he's getting paid too much for his role, but the initial complaint was over KW because of this lineup. That's what I was getting at. If we were the A's trying to compete with a bench player making that much that's one thing, but we're not. I'm not saying it was a good contract, but it doesn't suffocate the team either. Backups are going to get starts. The fact that all of ours seemingly are right now is not KW's fault.

I think Peavy has a better chance at getting on Base than these clowns in our lineup

I'd walk Peavy here

Good job by Beckham extending the inning.

Alright, Quentin and Konerko have had enough time off today. Put them in the game.

1 run off Cook in 4 not good.

I'd walk Peavy here

 

I bet our batting practice coach had a good outing prior to this game. Nothing like a lineup with about 40 cumulative home runs in it halfway through the year.

About to say at least the pitcher's not leading off and then remembered it was Pierre, Oldmar and Dunn.

 

How can you blame Walker for this team not hitting?

 

Harry Houdini couldn't do anything with these guys. Maybe that explains the dearth of "Fire Walker" threads or even Dick Allen's willingness to argue on his behalf.

 

Feels like the mid to late 80's White Sox offense....playing in Old Comiskey. Brutal.

Sox fans need to stage a walkout next home game when Pierre leads off in the first everyone walks out. Send a message like the Greeks.
