QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 06:39 PM) Yet we don't need offensive help according to Hawk! The scary thing about our offensive struggles is that Iguchi and PK, as well as AJP, have been terrific the last month or so. I have seen teams where a guy or two get cold. But not entire groups of our players at once. This is mays offensive struggles all over again. Hopefully they pick up someone. Or we are toast in the playoffs.

Joe Crede is batting .100 in the month of August. Yes .100. Dye is batting a lovely .211. I think he has gone critical again. Pods is batting .190 As a team we are batting .231 in the month of August. Our OBP is now .298. I wonder why we have been having problems scoring runs.

Remember when people on this board were predicting that we shouldnt be worried about Boston because their pitching staff isnt good and good pitching beats good hitting. Well our pitching outside of 1 game hasnt shut down their good hitting so far. The road to the WS goes through Boston. Hopefully the Angels win the WC and we face them in the first round. We can walk Vlad. And let the Bosox and A's beat up on each other.

Our top 2 pitchers are having problems with moneyball hitting teams. They elevate their pitch count and get lots of guys on base. Plus our defensive studs are kicking the ball around doesnt help.

Arow a spectator with 2 strikes. 2 walks in the last inning fock us. Ozzies mismanagement focked us. Jenks worrying about the runner instead of the batter focked us. We should of won this game. But again this is a loss.

My power goes out for 46 1/2 hours, I sit in darkness running a focking generator so my basement doesnt flood after it decides to pour after a summer of no rain, no sleep not happy. Turn the focking power back off Com ED.

No curveballs called at all in that sequence. Lots of pick off plays called. Then just fastball after fastball to a guy who can hit anyones fastball.

GAME OVAH!!!!!!! WE WALKS A BUNCH OF GUYS TO GET TO ORTIZ. THEN WE SPEND ALL THIS TIME FOCKING AROUND WITH THE RUNNER AND FORGETTING ABOUT THE GUY AT THE PLATE. GOOD ONE.

Someone tell Jenks that the Bosox dont steal and there are 2 outs. Dont focking worry about the runner.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:44 PM) RH hitters are hitting .112 against Cotts. Leave him in. Cotts is a lefty specialist now. Jenks has better splits against leftys.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:41 PM) So RH hitters are hitting .112 against Cotts. What are the chances if Damon is retired, Ozzie gets Cotts? Jenks in. Lots of moves this inning to protect the 1 run deficit. NO MOVES TO PROTECT THE GAME AN INNING EARLIER.

Ozzie is now working the pen. One inning too late

Just hope he doesnt pull this managing s*** during the playoffs. If he is trying to get someone the win in the playoffs while they get destroyed it wont be cool.

Ozzie makes a relief change, an inning to late.

You were right Rowand, Timlin sucks. But Crede sucks more. Uribe leads off against Schilling.

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:26 PM) God, I hate a Francona managed game, he's all about situational matchups, even if it means 5 pitching changes in 2 innings. Let Crede swing the bat or PH? Or you could have the Ozzie way where he lets his starter give up 6 because he wants to get him the win.

Thank god their bullpen sucks Then again their crappy bullpen has to face our crappy hitters. So its kindoff a wash.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) If Crede learned how to catch a pop up it would be 5-5 right now. Crede again f***s up in a boston series. Great.

Meyers in to face AJ. Remlinger is 6th inning guy. Meyers is their lefty specialist.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:18 PM) I would imagine that Remlinger will be in there only to pitch to AJ. THen Bradford. Bradford was already in.

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:17 PM) You're silly if you think this is over, especially with Remlinger warming last inning Remlinger would of came in last inning. Timlin comes in this inning. Then Schilling.

Mark is at 109 pitches he has given up 6 ER and he is still out there. GOOD JOB Ozzie.

At this point if Ozzie was trying to win this game he would actually be using the bullpen. But s*** let see how many ER Marky Mark can give up.

Our manager is trying to get a player something instead of the team. So much for grinder baseball.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) Couple of notes from Chicago Tribune Live: 1)Griffey is as of now on waivers according to Bruce Levine. 2)Griffey has no problem with Chicago. 3)Griffey and his family actually visit Chicago a couple of times of years. Please clear waivers and please please come to the whitesox. We get Griffey and we get a WS. He will do what Thomas does when he is healthy. He will instantly not only give us a bat in the lineup, but someone who gets hitters around them better pitches to hit.
