Ozzie should not let Garcia face Davanon here. He's a much better hitter from the left side. Bring in Marte here!

We should have scored a run that inning. Hopefully, it won't come back to haunt us. BTW, I honestly believe Widger is our most dangerous hitter. He easily hits the most consistent liners on the team.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 26, 2005 -> 03:46 AM) I noticed that. He ought to just bunt every time. Bunt, and stand right on the plate. His average is plummeting, hopefully he can keep the OBP reasonably high... Like I said, I love the hustle that Ozuna displays. However, by no means should he be viewed as a replacement at 3b or SS if someone gets hurt or continues to struggle.

The only problem with putting on a hit-and-run with Uribe at the plate is that the opposing team knows they don't have to throw pitches near the plate in order for Uribe to swing right now. Thus, you get a very high pitch like the pitch which got Widger thrown out on the bases.

I love the hustle that Ozuna shows.......but can he even hit the ball out of the infield? He must lead all of the majors in fewest feet per hit (the anti-Konerko).

Big batter here for Marte. Don't want to let Cabrera get up as the winning run. He's a clutch hitter.

Quinlan just missed that. He had a high hanger. Might as well leave Marte in now.

Hermanson should have been brought in after the ph was announced

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ May 25, 2005 -> 04:53 AM) Two lefties and a switch hitter due. I'm pretty sure Chone is much better against righties also. I have a feeling Ozzie will take out Marte though. It's a tough call either way.

If Chone caught Iguchi's drive, I was just going to stop watching baseball. And now Rowand hits that flyball we needed last inning. Is it Hermanson time?

IGUCHI! Keep it going Rowand

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 25, 2005 -> 04:49 AM) Damn...anybody else catch that nice set of... I most certainly did!

Pods can't seem to get the bat head out right now. With the count in his favor, he should have been trying to hit the ball with authority. It's Iguchi time!

Willie should ph for Crede here. Crede has no prayer of getting on base against Shields.

Frank has had a lot of success against Washburn. I would love to see him get called-up for tomorrow.....but I'm sure that's not in everyone's best interest. I don't think Ozzie is ready to say bye to his boyfriend Timo.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ May 25, 2005 -> 04:38 AM) If I was Ozzie, I'd bench half the f***ing team. Don't worry, I'm expecting a ridiculous lineup tomorrow. Maybe that's what we need right now.

Marte is in. What are the changes he hits Finley here?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 25, 2005 -> 04:36 AM) That 10th inning sums up our offense. CORPSEBALL There was never a Manuel-Corpseball inning as pathetic as that one was. I think I'll remember that top-half of the inning for a long time.

We're a team with one leadoff hitter, one number 2 hitter, a 5 hitter, and 6 number 7 hitters.

This inning was absolutely pathetic. We aren't coming close to hitting the ball hard.

One of the worst ABs you'll ever see there by AJP. I'm so f***ing sick of seeing our players take first pitch strike, and then swinging at the next pitch no matter where it is.

Wow! Great job by Buehrle.

Great pitch by Buehrle there. Rivera has looked good at the plate tonight......should Ozzie bring in Cliff?

Marte should definitely be brought in here. He makes Anderson look silly when they face each other.

QUOTE(ReinsdorfSucks @ May 25, 2005 -> 04:26 AM) no you DONT have to send him there. the sox NEVER score on the contact play. running just because the guy hits the ball is the dumbest strategy in the world. little tappers back the the pitcher, and hits to a drawn in infield plague this team. you gotta be smarter than that. it's the one part of the jerry manuel regime (besides taking rookies out of games WAY to early so they can feel good about themselves) that this team continues to employ. You do realize every single team in the majors would have sent Pods there? He almost scored, and any throw up the line would have scored him. God knows I dislike Ozzie's decision more than anyone else....but that was the right call.
