Yes, the umpires have sucked the last two games. However, I don't want to see the Sox start acting like the Cubs when it comes to umpires. Right now, I don't like Hawk blaming the umpires for blowing the last two games. There were dozens and dozens of plays that helped determine the outcome of both games that had nothing to do with the umpires. I just want to see our guys keep their composure when the situation becomes heated. Crede got screwed, but he had to know to keep his mouth quiet because of our lack of depth right now.

KW better make a roster move if Uribe is unable to go this wknd. How come teams never end up having to put their outfielders at SS against us?

QUOTE(whitesoxeducator @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 10:17 PM) you like to piss in peoples corn flakes, don't you? WTF are you talking about? If we execute like we should have early in the game, the umpire doesn't matter. Even if Crede is allowed to go to first base, we still need a hit from Pods.

You know what sucks. If we lose this game, everyone will blame it solely on the umpires, and nothing else. Instead of neglecting the awful offensive execution we've had, I bet Ozzie will make it sound like we would have won 10-1 if not for Hunter and crew.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) We do taht and we have some serious problems. Might want to reconsider, no matter how mad you are. Thanks

Unbelievable. I hate this f***ing field and these gay ass umpires.

Perfect time for A.J. to bail on the pitch and let Hunter get hit in his vagina.

I guess this isn't what people want to hear right now, but another horses*** swing by Crede there. Swinging straight up on a very hittable pitch isn't what was needed there.

f*** these umps.

Make him pay for it Crede.

Ozzie should get tossed here.

Should have been strike 3 there.

Widger trying to hit a 3 run homer there also. Just a terrible approach by our guys today with RISP.

Good AB by A.J.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:55 PM) Because our bench is almost empty as it is...and if this game goes long we may need Timo later. For where? Where else can we use Timo besides for batting for Dye?

Ozzie: HIT and RUN!

Seriously, why not let Timo ph for Dye there?

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) Amazing what happens when he changes uniforms, huh? Is it too early to say he's the new Jeff Blauser of the southside? I guess once a Sox killer, always a Sox killer.

WOW! Great job by Marte pitching to Hatteberg there.

Pods....don't catch that ball.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:47 PM) What are you talking about, Dye made a good throw. He took forever to get rid of that. I thought there was no way Byrnes was going to be safe at 3rd. Dye acted surprised that he was running, as he had to regroup to throw it to 3rd base. No matter what, Dye should have came up firing right away to 3rd base. Thankfully, someone was backing up 3rd base though. That would have been an awful, yet fitting, way for the A's to get the go-ahead run.

Come on Dye, you have to be able to throw him out there. Byrnes wasn't even at 2nd base by the time Dye got it. Dye didn't get himself set behind the throw.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) I actually disagree ftahom but either way it wasn't a bad move by Oz this time anyways. You think it was the proper move to bring in Marte to face Thomas/Byrnes? Of course, maybe Garcia told Ozzie he was finished, which makes my argument void.

QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) You mean like all those ESPN guys were saying? And they were correct with what they said. We're designed to play smallball, yet we don't do anything to back it up besides the occasional bunt. Instead, it seems like we're just playing for the 3 run homer every game, but our power personnel is not close to the level that it was in year's past. Like I said, thankfully we have those 16 wins as a great foundation.

I actually would have left Garcia in to face the leadoff batter Thomas here. He's one for f***ing 25 on the season. However, bringing in Marte allowed them to hit the much better Byrnes instead. Marte should have been brought in for Kotsay.
