This perdicament tonight is dedicated to our management team and their lack of execution of a game plan. Thank you Joey Cora who would wave a 90 year old granny with a walker around third with the ball just past the the SS with a charging OF. The BS of it takes a perfect throw and a perfect execution. Well we must run into perfection all the time, because our guys are meat left and right because of waving wendell. Ozzie has his pen up in the 6th becaue the pumpkin will go poof at the 6th. Yet he decides to go with Cotts. Cotts who has a 6.23 ERA since the allstar break Cotts. That 2.62 WHIP looks hot also. And his ERA is over 8 for the month of August. So lets ride the crappy hand. Lets use him out of the pen. That makes sense. He gives up a single on cue. Brandon McCarthy has a 3.23 ERA since the allstar break. You need to put his mug on a milk jug because he is missing.

Against the twins you throw away until you get 2 strikes, then bust them in. Against the sox you pitch away until you get two strikes and then bounce one into the left handers box.

2 strikes and they go back up the middle. Our guys will break their ankles trying to hit it on the dan ryan and K.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:06 PM) It would be huge for the Twins to win this game. They now have a comback in their back pocket, along with Santana going the next day.... We need to win this game. Must win. Tell Mr. Cotts comes out as my first pitcher out of the pen manager.

Is Brandon even in uniform tonight. Does Ozzie think we have him redshirted like in college football.

Taz corkscrews himself into the ground, on one knee pulls the outside slider and hits it to the SS for the inning ending putout. I wonder why our team pulls the ball so f***ing much. When we play the Tigers, the Twins the As the Redsox the minute you get to two strikes look out. They think oppo and make it tough to get them out. We swing for the fence and K or pull it for a weak dribbling grounder.

Well it looks like we are going to the 9th tied in a game that we should be up by a few runs if we had any coach but Ozzie. Neal Cotts our worst reliever has the most appearances of 58, more than Bobby Jenks even. Brandon has 43 appearances. He must of kicked Ozzies dog.

Maybe next year our hitting coach can cover not swinging at s*** low and away that isnt a strike. That is after there is an entire field to hit too class, outside of the field you pull too.

Crede needs to come through here.

Hit the f***ing ball, get a run. Send prancing pods to the bench. Move the butcher of CF over to Left where he belongs, and put BA in center and all balls at least get caught by competent fielders.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 09:45 PM) The Twins had no problem with our 2-3-4 batters, can we do the same with their 3-4-5 battters? Their 3-4-5 hitters are not trying to park every single pitch on the Dan Ryan.

It would be a shot to us and to the twins if we actually tried to hit line drives next inning, and strung a few hits together. I know it goes against our whole offensive strategy of lift and pull and pose, but it might win a close game. Just a thought. Pods prances over and make an easy catch look hard.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 09:43 PM) After reading about this game I'm very happy I missed the first 5 1/2 innings wendell cora killed another rally thats pretty much sums up our first few innings.

The magic potion for our right handers especially Senior Pull It only. Low and Away its like Kryptonite for our right handed hitters.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) I can't help but to keep thinking of Cora's gaffe earlier. I am more upset at why Cotts and Riske were option A and B out of the pen with a 2 run lead in a must win game.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 09:38 PM) You forgot they've never seen anything like anything that just happened. And my new hated phrase. Whitesox player hits a homer. Hawk after he blows it on a you can put it on the board..... A goofy sounding, I am so happy. No s*** hawk.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 09:37 PM) Our 1-2...can you please do something? The only way we make a change at the top of the dish is if we trade for Marlins template player. A noodle armed Pierre might chase noodle armed Pods out of LF.

QUOTE(diegotony06 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 09:34 PM) Hawk should have said "ozzie is managing this game very very dumb" The cubs have Santo on the radio, and we have Hawk in the booth. The team paid cheerleader, pom poms and all. Every year at soxfest. This is the best whitesox team I have ever seen. This is the best soxfest I have ever been to. You are the best fans. At least one point during a game. X player is the best at X that I have ever seen. X pitcher might be the best pitcher since old X pitcher from 1960's. Al Kaline reference at least once a game, and then your Yaz reference to back that up.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 09:32 PM) Well we run out of pitchers when only BMac is left in the pen. I don't believe he is still with the team anymore Well suddenly after Ozzie playing BA all the time, we are back to the platoon. Suddenly Bmac is missing from the bullpen equation.

Well Thornton out now. Cotts and Riske going in the last inning was the Ozzie equivalent of letting Boone Logan face Hafner in the 8th up by one run because he was a lefty and there happened to be a lefty up.

So Pods doesnt get on base anymore. He doesnt steal. He doesnt play good D, he doesnt throw well. What does he do again. Oh I know. He stands statuesque as he takes strike three down the cock. He prances around LF lets balls drop in front of him because he plays on the track, then dives for a few so they can roll to the wall.

Anderson must of insulted ozzie in some way, probably he and bmac were making comments and ozzie overheard it and they are in the dog house. Its the only explanation for allowing Pods who is terrible to hit with a man on late in a game where his defense is brutal and worthless.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 09:22 PM) Why the hell would you leave Rob in against their best Lefty reliever? Because Mack is the starter in CF, and Ba platoons when we face a tough lefty.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) If we had Mike Hargrove we wouldn't actually have any good relievers, because they'd all be used up and on the DL with arm injuries. The formula tonight was simple. Vaz till he started his blow up. Brandon for an inning or two. the piggy back we did with El Duque last year. Thornton/Mac in the 8th Jenks in the 9th Cotts enters the game if we are down by 5. Riske enters if we are down by 3.

There is that home run that AJ has been swinging for the last 2 weeks.
