We are nibbling now????

I bet you that Ozzie pulls for Owens to be our CF next year. He is a fast guy that fits Ozzies marlin style offense. Dont be too surprised if that is pushed.

The easiest pitch to bunt is a breaking pitch. The hardest pitch to bunt is a high fastball. so in a bunting sit we call curve on the first pitch.

Our offense coming into this game is ranked 12th with 272 runs scored. We had over 500 in the first half. The Florida Marlins of 14 million have scored 280 runs. 12 more runs and the hitting retarded Cubs will overtake us in scoring runs. With the way our O has been hitting. It might happen.

Another horsehit AB by another one of our hitters with the game on the line. Thank god our offense blows donkey balls in the 2nd half of every freakin year. If they actually show up one of these years in the 2nd half I might faint.

A single AJ, thats all we need. A run of the mill single to left center. Nothing more, nothing less. If it rolls into the gap good for you

Gload does more in one AB than most of our team did in one game. Line drive swings are cool.

At some point it would be nice for our 3-4-5 to actually contribute to the offense outside of the once a week mauling we do in one game.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:52 PM) Should I run on my tippy-toes before I fall down? A nice prancing gait would help. Its the pods defensive blunders video he will be selling this offseason.

Well if Dye wants the MVP a nice Jack would be sweet

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:49 PM) I missed it. So, really, how bad was it? Throw yourself on the ground, and then have a friend throw the ball about 20 feet the other way.

Nice stop there AJ.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:45 PM) Wasn't the one decent game he had in Boston when he batted 8th? A lineup never to be seen again. Why is Thornton still in the game? The same reason that Hermy was option A out of the pen tonight with Cotts backing him up.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:41 PM) This offense sucks Dont talk about the 12th best offense in the majors in the 2nd half that way. I mean we have the 14 million dollar Flordia Marlins beat by a few runs. over 500 runs in the first half, on pace for a little over 300 for the 2nd half.

Here comes the heart of the lineup.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:38 PM) Most teams swing for the fences in extra innings. Some analyst had a theory that a team with little team power would be a better extra inning team, because they wouldn't swing for the fences. If you can reach them, its a natural reaction. We must think that extra innings starts in inning number 2 then.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:35 PM) Juan WILL swing for the fences Thats all he does on every single AB. Just please for the love of god make contact Juan, and try and center it up.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:33 PM) How'd Buerhle look? Not bad. His biggest mistake I thought was walking Vlad in the first inning with no one on. The next guy hit a good pitchers pitch and jacked it. Should of been a solo dong. Outside of that he was good. Our offense woke up and had a great approach for an inning. Then Pods decided to be a hero and was thrown out by 4 feet with Dye up and less than 2 outs.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:31 PM) Thornton makes pitching look too easy. Joe Borchard has a special place in my memory for getting us this.

If we survive this inning Its uribe vs K rod to start off the next inning.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:29 PM) Rob i expected he cant handle pressure thats his problem.....Crede on the other hand, that was where the clutch moment had to be..just a pop up for gods sake low and away to a right handed whitesox hitter. Its like kryptonite. Crede had some nice approaches against that tonight. But not that time.

How f***ing pathetic can our O be. 1st and 3rd with 1 out, and we cant make solid contact. Game.

Hopefully our next hitting coach can teach our team line drive swings and how to protect with 2 strikes.

Low and Away pwns another whitesox hitter.

Nice stroke by AJ.
