Someone from the sox needs to have a sit down with the Hawk and tell him to stop the constant complaining about the umps. Its very Santo like.

QUOTE(soxyess @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) This is the second time in a week that we have had the bases loaded and no outs and failed to score a run. What a bunch of garbage. This is the very reason this team will NOT make the playoffs. Everyone trying to swing for the fence instead of just getting a hit. Well this is what happened with the post ASB 2004 whitesox. medicore pitching, a great offense one night, then they struggled to get a hit the next night. That season signature moment was Carlos Lee striking out a few times with the bases loaded and 1 or no outs playing the twins at home. KW was so upset that he was quoted in the paper saying if he saw another person trying to hit a home run and strike out with RISP he would throw up. That was when I knew that Carlos was gone. I think if they are really into a pitching and defense team they need to redo the fences. The close fences really makes our team have problems after the ASB. The minute the park heats up we start going for the fences. The minute late July hits, the bats get a little tired and you see a lot of warning track power and pull foul home run distance almost homers, followed by infield popups, the rollover grounder or the silly K. If we played in a large park like Detroit our team would probably try and hit more liners instead of trying to park every single pitch.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 09:39 PM) I know it won't matter, but there's no excuse for PK to not score from 2nd on that double off of the fence. Abreu turned around to watch that ball go off the fence. Once he does that, you should be on your way. Joey Cora holds people when you should send them, and sends people when they should be held. They should just do the opposite of what he says and this team would score a bunch of runs.

Bases loaded, no outs and 2 infield popups and the long fly we needed happened with 2 outs. Corpseball 2006 edition. I am sick of Hawk b****ing about the umps.

And we will have the 3rd best record in our division after tonight. Nice job kids.

95 low and away and the knees with sinking action for strike one. 94 running in fouled off for strike 2. Then a dumb 0-2 pitch. Jesus f***ing christ. Is this team filled with people who dont know what do to with and 0-2 count. Now here comes the apendage obsessed manager who brings in Neal Cotts who has a hard time with lefties to face a lefty. Here we go kids. Lets see how far Giambi hits it.

This is getting fuggly quickly. Mac to face AROD.

Iguchi going towards the 2nd base bag is about as worthless as a sack of wet mice. Every game there is a Hawk Al Kaline reference.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) I really want to see a walkoff homer in the 9th. Give us some life.. seriously, let's keep it tied until the 9th. I would rather see a 5 spot this inning, and then let Riske finish it up.

s***ty AB for Cintron. f***ing swinging for the Dan Ryan.

Kid sits on the bench all night long, gets into the game, and takes nicely. Very nice job BA.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 09:06 PM) OH MY GOD Too bad Brian didnt start this game.

We need a few runs, and Anderson needs to get up from his rest and play some CF this game. Having the Mack attack out in CF is going to cost us if he stays in the game.

Its the top of the 7th. Now he smart thing is to pull Freddy the first minute we see a sign of trouble. Ozzie however, believes in the lets have a chat with him. Pen should be up right now with a man on.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 08:55 PM) Isn't it amazing to see how the Yankees pulled Wang before this inning? Dont worry, Guillen will pull Freddy too, after he has his customary chat before he gives up the lead in the 7th.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 07:47 PM) We've had a lot of problems this game already. Error to begin with, should've been at 3rd to lead off the bottom of the 1st, double play with the bases loaded and no outs, caught stealing at 2nd. That's a big list for only 2 innings. Ozzie pretty much sends someone always when there are 2 outs, and a guy on first.

Ozzie not everyone is Pods circa pre allstar break 2005. Keep sending people.

Torre should of been out there on pitch 1 if he felt that Cintron was out of the box.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 07:43 PM) Mack would be a good player on a club whose manager didn't insist in starting him in CF. Its not Macks fault. He is a corner OF that his manager makes play CF.

Thank f***ing God that Mack is in there for his marvelous stick. Nice AB. Bases loaded 0 outs and then the tard part of our lineup kills the rally.

Too bad they didnt have this offensive approach against Cy Escobar last night when he was painting the outside corner last night.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) DJ has been ripping on Garcia's approach since about the 2nd inning of his first start. I remember in ST when the Hawkeroo was spinning Freddy Maddux on how he has the new fangalled way of throwing. They actually pitched it as this will keep him fresh later in the season. I still think he needs an MRI.

Nice job Kong, went with the pitch and hit a liner to right center.

I am glad that Freddy had that article on whitesox.com where he stated that Velocity doesnt matter, and its all about control. Too bad Freddy didnt get the memo where he has poor control also.

They interviewed Mack on the radio the other day, and he gave himself a poor rating as a defensive OF. He said he has let the team down with his defense in CF. Now mabye someone can get that tape to Guillen so he can figure it out, Mack is not a CF. Freddy Fastball gives up a dong, what a shock. 86 on the way in, 95 on the way out.
