Did anyone hear Joey Cora today on the radio. He was asked if you have a situation with a man on 1st and 3rd and no outs. Do you send the runner on contact or wait until the ball gets through. Cora stated you send the guy on contact. And he was asked well what if the balls is hit hard to the left side. You still go. And then when you get caught, the guy going home is supposed to get into a rundown to allow the trailers to advance. That way if they make a mistake you get a free run, and if you get caught in a rundown you get 2 men in scoring position. And to clarify it, the game the other night were Konerko was caught off third. Cora said he was supposed to break on the sharp grounder to the 3rd baseman. Now thats plain dumb. After hearing that I am convinced that Joey is Wendel Kim. You dont just break on any contact. You advance based on were the ball is hit, and if the situation dictates. You dont just bolt like a mindless video game because the ball was struck.

And mackowiak takes a bad route, and its a double. Anderson strolls back and makes that catch. He made a few of those over the last few games the same way. Keep putting the corner OF in center ozzie.

Well that was horrible. So let me get this straight. We get different players every year. New blood. Yet we see the same offensive attack. Carlos Lee swung for the fences in 2004 ignoring RISP and going for personal glory. Here we are in 2006 and its the same thing. Beat up on a team one night, then struggle to scratch a run across. Maybe we need to stop teaching the pull and lift method.

Just throw a changeup and you will shut down this team.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 08:43 PM) Leadoff man gets on and we aren't going to even advance him against a fuc king scrub ass pitcher. Great. Dip your back shoulder, extend your arms, turn and burn. Lift the ball up high in the air, and let the magic of the cell take over. The hitters guide to whitesox baseball post ASB.

Classic corpseball there. 2 guys and 2 flyouts trying to hit homers.

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) ozzie today said he's got the best bench in the al He doesnt have a bench. He has a bunch of platoon players. Cintron and Uribe/gooch are platoon one. Mackowiak and Anderson are platoon 2.

Pull and Lift. Keep it up.

Our leadoff hitter got on. Now stay on teh f***ing bag.

We take 2 out of 3 against the Yanks. Fight like animals. We take 3 out of 3 against the Tigers, things looking up. Then we rock Redman, and then our offense goes into the s***ter. Because they are into pull and lift mode.

QUOTE(SoxnGiants @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 08:34 PM) This is disgusting. Absolute rock bottom. But it's just one game. Hopefully a display this poor will enbarrass the team and we'll realize we need to play hard & smart EVERY game, not just against the top teams. I think this team needs leadership right now - from Ozzie, Paulie, Thome, AJ or anyone. Someone needs to take charge. As much as I love Thome, we need a grinder like AROW at times like these (I still like the trade, I'm just saying we need the desire he brought everyday). Actually its 2 games. We got shut down by a pitcher with an 8 ERA last night.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) None of these players realize that our last winning streak only contained 1HR. The key to this game is getting on base guys. But instead, we want HR, then HR, then HR, then HR. I wonder what is going on with our coaching staff. I bet they will talk up the opposing pitcher and how great he was. 3 hits through 5 complete is horrible.

This garbage pitcher just Kd two of our hitters, and threw about 10 pitches that inning. KW needs to go down and shut the door and have a heart to heart with the team. Ozzie is too busy being their friend. And playing the reserves.

Cintron Ks. Corpseball is here. Boo this team off the field tonight.

A pitcher that has been released by the pitching starved Phillies is 3 hitting our team. We let crappy Runnynose Hernadez and his 8 ERA own us last night. Now we are getting shut down by this guy. Start your f***ing A team Ozzie. Stop with this b team s***.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 08:23 PM) That was intentional by Contreras. He was trying to drill him. He should drill himself, and then take turns drilling our own lifeless team. We are our own worst enemy.

Nice defense. Someone needs to say something in the lockerroom after this game. Either Ozzie or some of the vets needs to man the f*** up.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 08:11 PM) And after last weekend's sweep i thought things were really starting to come around for this team, BOY was I wrong. After last nite and tonite's debacle, i'm befuddled as to what to think of this team now. We are not a very smart team right now. We have a golden golden opportunity. We are facing one of the worst teams in baseball. We are facing some of the worst pitchers in baseball. While Detroit and Boston beat up on each other. And we decide to mail it in. How the hell are we a few games over 500 against this horrible horrible team.

Corpseball 2006 is back. Swing for the fences, kick the ball around on defense, and then pitch like s***. It would be nice for our staff to get the memo that again this is another crappy dogs*** worthless pitcher out there. Nice K looking there Thome. We must lead the league in taking strike 3. HOLY s*** WE ACTUALLY HIT A LINE DRIVE. OMG CANCEL THE POSTGAME.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 08:05 PM) Here we go on the "We beat ourselves $hit". The reason we arent as good this year, is because everyone else is better, and our starters have Vastly underachieved. Last year we beat the crappy teams, and held our own against the good teams. This year we do good against most of the good teams, and then play just over 500 ball against crappy teams. Meanwhile the Twinks and the Tigers beat the living snot out of crappy teams. We are currently losing this division based on our record vs the Royals this year. If we won a few more games, we would be right in the thick of this.

How many runs will the Count give up before Ozzie pulls him. 11, maybe 12.

Why is our manager playing our subs again? Does he realize that we can replace one or 2 guys, but why do we have 3 subs in the same game. Are we trying to win here or are we resting for next year.

The royals are hitting line drives and our guys are trying to hit home runs. 7 runs. Nice effort guys. Pack it up, we dont want to win this year.

This is a f***ing joke. All the momentum we had over the weekend has been shat with our great showing against the worst road team in baseball. How horrible is this. The twinks just swept this garbage team in their house. And we are looking at a split.

Gload in RF and Mackowiak in CF according to the score. I wonder if Ozzie realizes that Mack can play the LF position and doesnt need to take out our young, currently hitting well, great defensive CF. Defense in the Outfield tonight is going to be terrible.
