QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) This is a move by Oz where, if it works out, everyone says "Great job Ozzie, getting Politte his confidence back right away in a tight game" If it doesnt work, then all of a sudden, everyone calls for Ozzies head. Odd bullpen placement is ozzies calling card. He had montero in the game late.

Dont nibble Cliffy. Remember Nibbles from Tom and Jerry.

Cintron throws some leather. 1 down.

Lets see if Uncle Cliffy has his mojo back after going on the DL.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) Polite, Riske, and BMAC are better options, for free. I agree with you on this Rock. With his high fastball/forkball combo he has always been a fly ball pitcher. This year he has had a lot of groundballs, but I think that will all change if he went to the Cell in summer. Roberto at the Cell now.....bad......scary movie bad.....

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:20 PM) You have to beat the teams you are supposed to beat. You know that. You know better than that. In 2005, the White Sox beat the teams they were supposed to beat. If you want to win this division--especially this year--you have got to beat the teams with the worst records in the league. Period. C'mon, you know better than that. Thank you Thome for getting Addys memo. We should beat this team. We are eleventy billion times better than the Pirates.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:19 PM) IS EVERYONE PAYING ATTENTION: In what comes as no suprise, Hawk and DJ are talking up Roberto Hernandez like he is Bob Gibson. We've seen this happen many times in the past with other players the White Sox front office has locked in on. This could be completely coincidental, but, Hawk now has a proven track record in this type of behavior. Yes it almost as telling of a thing as KW giggling when you mention someone.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:11 PM) No, this team sucks for daring to lose 26 games in 77 games played! Ozzie sucks at managing because he lost the game today and Widger should be release just because! I am sure that Detroit will have the same problems and the same tight games with the Pirates. We had our top 3 going in this series against the worst team in the NL Central. The royals are better than the Pirates. We won the first 2 games and our best pitcher was on the mound for game 3. The fact that we didnt sweep this is sad.

Our relievers love the free pass.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:06 PM) Yup, but we wont. Well hopefully are not in a position of being within a game with the last 3 to go for the season. We face the Twins and the tigers face the Royals.

Widger swings at the first pitch. End of threat. AJ should of hit there. Now we have to rely on Uribe, Brian Anderson, PH against their lefty closer.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:04 PM) You cant sweep everyone. You should sweep the worst team in the NL Central though with your Ace on the mound.

AJ should be hitting here. Why is widger hitting here.

Its up to Crede or we are f***ed.

Joses ERA in June before this game is 5.57.

6 earned for Jose. Glad we left him in to start this inning. f*** Unless he dominates his next 2 starts, he shouldnt start the allstar game. Santana deserves it more.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 01:52 PM) When I hear the words in shambles I think of this: I think you and I have much different definitions. PIC WHORE

Strand the inherited runner please Riske.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 01:48 PM) Did we get back underway again? Yes, and widger has a positive. He threw someone out.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 01:43 PM) The equation is a simple one: Widger's game calling ability + Contreras feeble mindset = meltdown. The sad thing is that AJ hits lefties better than Widger. Widger is a .212 hitter against lefties on the season. Too bad AJ isnt a robot.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 01:38 PM) Absolutely not - he should've been pulled for sure. I think Count's streak was in play on that decision and it should not have been. We have to stop putting the good of the team over someones personal accomplishments. We let Mike Jackson get decked night after night in 03 or 04 because he was coming close to some useless record for appearances. Its not like we are up on the division by 15 games. If we win the first 2 games of a series, we need to pull out the stops and win the last game. Especially against the worst teams in baseball.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 01:35 PM) *shudder* stop that nonsense right now... Miggy called such a bad game that the pitchers probably didnt like pitching to him.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 01:31 PM) Yeah, its not entirely Widger's fault, but it seems like whenever he's behind the plate the Sox lose or pitch like ass You take out AJ's bat and his hustle and grit, and then his game calling. And replace it with someone who isnt hitting well, and doesnt call a game that well.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 01:27 PM) Sox are still getting on base and swinging the bats - I'd be very surprised if they were done scoring for the day. Besides the, well we will rally. Do you think it was the right decision not to pinch hit for Contreras down by a run, with a man on 2nd and 1 out when we are in the 6th inning with rain on the way.

If Jose goes to the bump after this delay, then I am convinced that we had no intention of competing today.
