Yes, Rowand is leading off the 7th.

Our best scoring chance is coming up here with Rowand leading off the inning.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 03:32 AM) What is it with these umps lately and their strike zones? I think our guys are getting squeezed. Yes, but it is also cause other teams take a hell of a lot more pitches than the White Sox do, so they give the umps more of a chance to be inconsistent.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 03:31 AM) They aren't as bad as the 1967 team though. Pitching was all they had that year and it almost took them all the way. So 38 seasons? Something we should all be proud about then.

Strike 4 to Kendall.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 03:28 AM) Is this not one of the most frustrating teams to watch? I feel myself wanting to punch my fist through the wall...This is flat out killing me... Just keep thinking that we're 15-4 with easily the worst offensive team I've seen in a long time on the Southside.

Seriously, I can't remember the Sox hitting one ball hard in fair territory tonight. Does anyone else?

PATHETIC

Have we hit one ball hard this entire game?

Do people agree with my belief that Rowand should be batting 3rd against lefties, and Everett should be way down in the lineup? Just wondering if I'm alone on that belief.

Keep it up Garland!

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 03:19 AM) We haven't done well with runners in scoring position in a number of games this year. We have sucked when we had runners in scoring position and less than 2 out and with 2 out like Iguchi. I have mixed feeling about Tadpole. I hope he adjusts to MLB pitching soon. Iguchi has got some hits lately, but to be honest, most of them have been seeing-eye hits just out of the reach of the infield. I definitely thought he was going to drive the ball more than he has. I've been happy with him in the field, even with limited range. His soft throws to first base get me nervous, but he's been accurate so far.

Iguchi looks overmatched against Zito. Kinda surprising considering how well he looked against Santana.

Nice to see Ozuna having the proper approach to hit Zito. Maybe Ozuna should be playing in RF for Dye, instead of for Podsednik.

Two great at-bats by Crede tonight.

3 pitches, 2 outs......blah

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 03:05 AM) That is the first time I have seen Ozuna throw all year if I were an opposing coach I would run on him all day. His arm is much better than Podsednik.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 03:01 AM) I was thinking the same thing, He Gawn. Right now, our lineup sucks. And no way will Ozzie do it unless we lose like 3 in a row. The lineup right now should be: Pods, Iguchi, Rowand, PK, Crede, Everett, Dye, A.J., Uribe against a lefty pitcher

Holy s*** is our 3-4-5 pathetic right now. Danny Wright could get them out.

Leadoff walk by Garland to the number 8 hitter.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 02:42 AM) I didn't like the decision to have Ozuna bunt. Way too early in the game to start playing for one run. Especially after the leadoff walk/hbp, you're just bailing out the pitcher from a potential big inning. However, it's the way Ozzie's going to manage, and as long as they keep winning, it won't change.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 02:38 AM) It's 0-0 after 2 IP. As some would say Garland was lucky to pitch 2 scoreless innings this game. :rolly He's on his way to his 17th good start over his last 23. I wouldn't be so fast to say Garland's going to have a good start. Lets hope he does, but in the past, you know how often he's just "lost it".

Everett should try batting lefty against Zito. Looks just terrible against the lefty pitcher.

Quick note: I watched Zito's last game against the Mariners, and he got rocked in the first inning because Seattle made him throw strikes. I'm not sure we're patient enough to take that approach.

Free Rowand to the 3rd spot against lefties!
