fathom

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.

That's been a f***ing strike all game for Colon. These umpires have sucked tonight.

RBI single for Rivera with bases loaded and one out

Just once, I'd like to see us try a squeeze play in a late inning situation. I'm not saying that would have been the best option last inning, but we really should utilize that play more than we do.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 25, 2005 -> 04:22 AM) Aaron just cost us the game Yes, he very likely did. That's the problem with Rowand in the 3 hole.....against righties, he should be no higher than 6th in the lineup. Against lefties, he should be batting 3rd.

QUOTE(ReinsdorfSucks @ May 25, 2005 -> 04:22 AM) THE CONTACT PLAY f***S US AGAIN. WE NEVER SCORE BUT CONTINUE TO DO IT. MORE STUPID PLAY BY THIS TEAM. ANYONE WHO THINKS THEY ARE REALLY GONNA WIN ANYTHING PLAYIN LIKE THIS IS FOOLIN THEMSELVES You have to send him there. It's just awful hitting by Rowand.

Swing for a f***ing flyball Rowand! That was absolutely f***ing pathetic.

Hit a flyball Rowand!

I'll be shocked if Rowand can get a hit against Shields.

QUOTE(YahtzeeSox @ May 25, 2005 -> 04:15 AM) HOLY HELL. Man the Angels bullpen has got some great guys. Bud Black is a phenomenal pitching coach.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 25, 2005 -> 04:13 AM) Is there a reason Gload is in the minors? He certainly couldn't do worse than what Konerko/Dye are doing right now. In fact, he'd be a nice guy to do what Juan Uribe did early on last season, give guys breaks at SS/2B/3B -- yet, with Ross, RF and 1B. I don't know what Ross did to piss in Ozzie's cheerios, but... Ross has a bad shoulder. He's rehabbing in AAA right now though.

QUOTE(thomsonmi @ May 25, 2005 -> 04:11 AM) We had streaks like this in the last couple years though even with Frank, Ordonez, Lee, and Valentin in the lineup. This lack of offense hasn't really been just a streak.....our offense has looked pretty bad all year. We only have 3 players who are hitting over .270 this season, and we are awful at drawing walks. Thankfully, we found a way to win 31 games out of our first 43.

KW is crazy if he thinks that adding Frank Thomas to this lineup is going to be good enough to get it over the hump. This is the worst offense we've had in a long time.

The last two games, the Sox have swung through some very good pitches to hit. Dye just got two cookies from Donnelly, and looked like s*** on both of them.

I'm pretty sure that we haven't had more than one player reach base in an inning through the first 16 innings of this series. Smallball sure is impressive

Pods looks like he needs a day off. He seems to be dragging out there.

These umps sure do suck tonight. Colon has been pitching with a huge zone the entire game.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 25, 2005 -> 03:17 AM) Yeah, we're not scoring again today. It's not just that we're not scoring, we're not even coming close to hitting the ball hard.

Twins are ridiculous with RISP and 2 outs this season.
