Lefties prototypical sweet spot is low and in. If you want to go in you go in and up. So we pitch the lefties low and in what to confuse them that they have a cookie to drive.

1 hit through 5. Nice job guys. Its Loaiza, not Johan guys. low and away with lots of breaking pitches shutting down our offense again. Maybe Greg can figure it how to attack low and away in what year 3 or 4 of being the hitting coach next year.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 10:23 PM) I would love to know how many hits we've averaged during the first 5 innings of a game over the last month. Between 2 and 4 would be my guess. All they are getting fed these days is breaking pitches, because for whatever reason they cant hit them anymore.

Our offense is horrible.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 10:19 PM) We need to find a way to get Gload in every game. He's one of the few guys hustling out there. Also, he's probably a better bet to contribute a hit at the plate than Thome is now. You could put a one legged blind nun and she would give us more production than Prancer out in LF. Gload, Mack insert batboy here is much better than the future Ex whitesox player.

Time for our rotten offense to wake the f*** up. Hit the f***ing ball, stop taking pitches for strike 3. Attack the baseball. Mack you owe us another dong with your rotten defense in CF. Hit the f***ing ball.

Thank God Everett didnt remain on the team, Ozzie would probably be running that one legged defensive dog out in CF.

Ozzie, Oakland is a pitchers park with lots of territory. This is a park you must have your best defense out in the field. If you really want to put Mack in, I suggest the prancing stiff out in LF that provides nothing.

Mackowiaks is responsible for both runs with his s***ty s***ty defense. But our coach is obsessed with appendages.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 10:12 PM) Once again, can't see it. Man on 2nd and 3rd both tagging. Fly ball to short RF. Dye settles under it. Then misreads it a bit, and take a small step back flat footing it, and then throws to home off his back foot. Run scores.

Mack scores a run with his dong, then gives it back up with his tard defense. So basically he provided nothing tonight.

Nice flat footed catch Dye.

This is why he doesnt play CF. He can play LF instead of prancer. Now anyone that says Brian wouldnt of gotten that I say you are nuts.

4 innings completed, 1 hit. This is our usual offensive output lately, not matter if Johan is pitching of some AAAA bum who has a 9 ERA. Once a week we will rip apart some guy, then struggle to make contact and get hits for the next week. This offense is frustrating.

We have to lead the league in taking a 3rd strike. What do we pay Greg for again. Its obviously not for coming up with a strategy of how to attack pitching. Swing for the fences, and if the ball is now down the cock middle in, take it.

Its funny how our hitters act like they have never seen a breaking pitch before. I think the Downers Grove cable access has a better video/audio setup than WCIU.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 10:01 PM) Wow...ROBBED Prancer would of played that into a triple.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 09:58 PM) frank flying out to right is a beeeautiful thing. Fixed for you.

Time for the meat of the lineup to hit the f***ing ball so we can shut up the kazoo, trumpet, and horn section at the dump.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 09:55 PM) Garland has no command of his offspeed pitches so far. He is nibbling with a high OBP team. They take all sorts of crap just to get to hitters counts. If you attack them, and then pound in when you get to 2 strikes. High OBP teams like to shorten up, and take the ball with 2 strikes up the middle and to right. We like to pitch away, we need to pound in, pound in and pound in.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 09:52 PM) They should upgrade to S-video cables too.....but then they'd have to go with regular ends on that...so....gold tips on sound or video? On the Coax cable, the gold tipped RG59 for video. They should upgrade to tin cans and string for their audio. Its better than the crap they are using now.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 09:50 PM) I wouldn't be stunned if he's traded this offseason. I know KW likes him, and he's supposed to be the Sox CF of the future. However, the more each day goes by, the more I think Juan Pierre will be our CF next year. They can eliminate themselves from postseason play then in 07 if they put that stiff in CF. He can barely hit against the weak ass NL. His OBP and his BA are pretty much identical which projects for disaster in the AL. Plus his arm is beyond horrible.

WCIU needs to replace the duck tape they are using to keep the sound connection together. Go to radio shack and buy the deluxe cable, with the gold tips. Spend the extra 20 bucks. Its worth it.

Okay I admit I was wrong about Mack being in there, He should just be in LF for Prancer the worst LF in all of baseball.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 09:39 PM) Sometimes I just really want to kick Ozzie in the nuts, this is one of those times. He rests Brian because of being so apendage aware, yet leaves a guy who is worthless as a hitter in at SS. Who has been getting progressively worse as a hitter over the last few months.
