fathom

Has anyone looked up what our record is this year when we play 3 of our subs? I swear, there's something about making it feel like a split-squad game which brings out the worst in our team.

Have a day Grudz. If Contreras keeps this up, we might not have any starters with an ERA under 4.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:00 AM) You probably summed it up better than Simmons possibly could have. They are underachievers, and they seem to be complacent with their production. They make about $30 million too much as a whole. It's a good thing not a lot of people listen to Cooper on the radio with Mike North every Tuesday morning.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 01:00 AM) Gathright is out there today looking like the player Podsednik should be. Bunting for hits and easily stealing bases. Yes, but Gathright is legitimately fast. Pods has lost a step and a half this season.

HAWK'S RIPPING ON PODS!! You rarely ever hear that. And yes, Pods plays way too deep.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:58 AM) Our starting pitching is medicore, thats all the material you need Did anyone read the Bill Simmons AL review today about our starting pitchers? It summed it up perfectly...these guys are underachievers.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Gardenhire has Santana lined up to face us twice in the next 2 weeks, doesn't he?

KW...there's still time left to try and get a legit LF off of the waiver wire.

Can we just pull that pathetic player off the field? I can't way until we trade him for a mid-level prospect this offseason.

Keep chasing ball four guys.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:52 AM) Ha, has Coop finally lost his perfect reputation or something? If the pitching is a barometer of how good he is as a coach, then he deserves a whole lot of blame this year. Every single returning pitcher is worse this year. This is the same guy that said as long as we're winning, you shouldn't be concerned about the starting pitcher.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:50 AM) WHEN YOU DROP YOUR ARM ANGLE, YOU TELL THE HITTERS A FORKBALL IS DEFINITELY NOT COMING. ^^^^^^^^^ QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:51 AM) The Royals are a AAA team for god's sake. Not even a GOOD AAA team and they are hammering count like it is batting practice. So how many effective starting pitchers do we have now? One? One? Who's that?

This is the worst 12 inning stretch of White Sox baseball I can remember in years.

Holy cow! What a f***ing joke. Keep smiling Cooper as your pitchers underachieve.

This is freaking pathetic. Contreras slider is a league average pitch, yet he continues to get beat on it. Meanwhile, he's thrown about 5 forkballs the entire night.

Even DJ is getting on Contreras for all of the different arm angles.

Did they ever show a replay of DeJesus' pop fly?

I love when Jose gets burned on his 3rd best pitch. It's like Garland on his changeup.

Sadly, you could see that coming a mile away. A bunt single, a pathetic defensive play, and the blast.

Pods is so worthless. That was just a shallow pop fly that he didn't bother to go after.

These guys better what the F up soon.

These home runs swings are getting really annoying.

AJP's bat speed is slowing down again. I'm sure he'll get the day off tomorrow.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) Our infield defense might be pretty bad if we have anybody besides PK at 1B. He saves so many badly thrown balls. Remember the week stretch when Gload was at first? He had more missed scoops in a week than PK has had all season.

Very nice play.
