A nice gapper would be great.

Holy s***, AJ just remembered his twins playing days. He slapped the ball the other way. He may get fined in the Kangaroo Court for not attempting to go deep there.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 09:35 PM) good defense today boys! Starting in CF for your Chicago Whitesox Rob Mackowiak Starting at SS for your Chicago Whitesox Alex Cintron

No protect swings yet. Swing hard just in case. Remember not to fall over.

Now most hitters will take a bit off their swing on a hard thrower. Not the sox. Swing hard just in case you get it.

Paulie gets an RBI. Now he cant GIDP. Way to take one, and not pull the outside away pitch. Now lets see if AJ can remember he was a line drive hitter for the first half of this year, and before our coaching staff got their mitts on them.

low and away again. A bouncer in the other batters box should do it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) Nice 1-0 swing by PK. 2-1, just keep going low and away. Let the pull monkey take care of himself.

Here comes the barage of low and away crap.

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 09:27 PM) Thome can expect to see nothing but low and away until he proves his hammy will allow him to go get that pitch. Hitting low and away pitches are against the whitesox hitting philosophy. If you cant pull it, you cant possibly hit it. is our motto.

Here comes the corpseball ending to a sure fire scoring opp. Thome Ks because he hits retarded against a lefty bouncing pitches in the dirt.

DJ can stop will the bulls*** about guys being tired. Some of our guys are the most rested guys in all of baseball. Dye gets on, here comes the rally kill Thome and Konerko. Thome will pop up or dong. And Konerko will hit to the 6-4-3 double play.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 09:22 PM) Dye needs to go deep here Everyone has been swinging for it. SOmeone might as well make contact. Nice swing there Dye.

QUOTE(beautox @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) whats this a base hit????? Too bad he cant do that when we really need it. He just needs to be down 7 or more runs to feel loose enough to swing away.

Why is Pods still in this game. There is no reason that he is still in here. Then again he shouldnt of been in the the game the other night late when he was 0-3 with 3 Ks and he struck out so silly 2 times before with men on. Ozzies love of the leadoff hitter is almost as bad as his love of Timo.

The fact that Anderson is in this game, and is not resting is proof that our manager has no clue. If he was not going to start, its no reason to put him in in a 7 nothing dog. Sweeney needs to get some reps in LF for prancer. Lets go Sweeney. Get into this game, start our O. Prancer and his .280OBP for the 2nd half is not going to do it.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 09:07 PM) Anderson coming up? A lefty pitcher is out there, So Mr Appendage aware had to make the change. If Anderson could come out in a 7-0 dog game, why didnt he start. Oh Cy Runnynose.

Sweeney should be in left for prancer. And AJ needs to be benched for the rest of the game. Put Stewart in. Start pulling our guys who are half assing it.

Can we have the first half AJ back. We have one guy hit the ball the other way, and he gets on. The rest pull it and are out. CY Runnynose keeps pitching us low and away. Why doesnt the guy with the video and pitching charts come down and say....Uh guys Runnynose is pretty much throwing you all low and away. You might want to think about that before you hit it to the SS again.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) HE'S NOT HURT. If he were hurt they wouldn't let him pitch. They've invested too much in him to allow this to get worse by throwing him out there every five days. Enough already. It's between his ears, he loses confidence. We should've traded for El Duque to keep him company and straighten him out. It is not his confidence. For years Jose has been an over the top pitcher only. Last year when El Duque showed up, he told Jose to pitch like a cuban which means add the other arm angle to make it harder to hit. This year he started out and was hitting 97 consistantly in a game in Texas when he dominated. Now check out his radar gun. His velocity is down. When Jose came in the league he was afraid of contact. He would throw his forkball only. Last year he threw his fastball first and then used his forkball for an out pitch. Now he cant get on top of his forkball because he is sailing it. When you throw side arm you have to follow through. If you stop shortly the ball sails. sliders flatten out, curves hang.

Thank God Dye pulled the low and away breaking pitch to the SS. Because that approach is how good teams kill rallies.

Hey, a guy cut down on his swing, put a low and away pitch the other way. And it wasnt a ground out to the SS and 3rd baseman. Maybe someone should video this, and tell our team that it does work.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:45 PM) I just want to say one thing for all of you saying Jose is still hurt. If he is hurt and the Sox are not putting him on the DL they are obviously one of the most ignorant, dumbass organizations in all of baseball. Why would we be sitting out there throwing out a piece of s*** pitcher (which is almost what Jose is right now) if we knew his struggles were do to an injury. Wouldn't we have thrown him on the DL weeks ago and given McCarthy a chance knowing that we could in time get Jose healthy and have him ready for the stretch run. I'm sorry, this injury claim really makes no sense cause I can't think (and I think Ozzie's a f***ing idiot) that Kenny would be dumb enough to do something like that. Farmer, Bill Melton, and others have stated that they believe that Jose is hurt. Also Steve Stone stated that him dropping down could take pressure off of his back. He hasnt been the same since he had the siatica. He had a epidural. Maybe it still bothers him. Why all of a sudden woudl a pitcher drop down all the time to righties. If he is healthy dont you think Cooper would of consulted video and just had him stay high. I think his back is bothering him.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:43 PM) Really wahts it matter. Its not like he's throwing a gazillion pitches. We are gonna lose either way, so who cares. Jose had yet another worthless start too. Jas if he is hurt, what is the point of having a hurt pitcher throw more pitches. You know what happens when a pitcher gets hurt outside of his arm. They f*** up their mechanics, and then compensate to make the pain go away, like Jose's sidearm. And what usually is the outcome of a pitcher going out of their mechanics. Surgery for their shoulder or elbow. QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:43 PM) I wish if he's really hurt we just put him on the DL. Get rid of him til next year. If he's on the staff he's got to be able to go 5 innings or 6. I mean my god, is five innings too much to ask. He can go 5 innings. It just how many touchdowns do you want your offense to come back from.
