QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:48 PM) Scott Podsednik Tadahito Iguchi Aaron Rowand So they all try to hit for homers everytime they come up? GMAFB. Pauly/Dye/Thomas/Crede/Uribe/Arow really shorten their swings up on 2 strikes. Pods and Gooch I will give you.

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) The problem here is that you assume our hitting will remain at a s***ty level all season. Given that Frank has been inconsistent and injured, Paulie and Crede have been inconsistent, the answer remains: we can start cleaning people's clocks once we start hitting. If this offense starts to hit consistantly we will be unstoppable. And that includes in the playoffs.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) What would you prefer? Better pitching and not so good hitting, or better hitting and not so good pitching, because we all know where that got us. My problem with the offense is that they swing out their ass every single time they get up to the plate. Watching guys take full home runs cuts with men on and 2 strikes is frustrating. Yes when they connect is makes for a nice rainbow home runs. This team has to do the little things to be sucessful. They lost some power from last year. They have to do more than just be one dimensional.

QUOTE(WhiteSox311 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) ya and we're still the best team in the majors...mmm so what does that tell you...maybe that our team isn't built around offense it was pretty obvious coming into this year that we weren't going to score a ton of runs...i dont know why your b****ing....jus to b**** i guess Our pitching has been outstanding. Its the reason we are in the place we are. But we have to start to get more consistant hitting. Not just living and dieing on the homer.

QUOTE(WhiteSox311 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:33 PM) ya cuz that happens all the time....we've been shutout what 2 or 3 times this year You guys are right our offense rocks. Its smoke and mirror thats we are 28th in the MLB in singles, 30th in doubles, 30th in triples. Crede is a superstar, Kong hits to all fields, etc etc.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) Pathetic, corpsball bulls***. Always pulling the ball. I don't know how the f*** they win. Scoring all your runs on homers and not stringing hits together makes for looks like champs one day, then cant sniff a run for 3 more days.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) Well it looks like we have a good ol' fashioned pitchers duel. We are always in pitching duels. Making someone look like Cy Young.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) I have never heard this before. Sadly we see it a lot when the sox face soft tossing pitchers.

Its nice to see the usual thing. A soft tossing lefty painting the outside corner and our hitters cant help themselves so they either pull every single pitch or they swing at the first pitch that comes up. Focking corpseball

Now he should be ok. He got past the first inning. HE GAWN

12 first inning runs in 15 starts. This guy needs to realize that he needs to get ready to pitch from strike one.

Flyout to the fence, and a walk. Ozzie needs to give Garica a kick in the nuts to jump start him. Unless its a "playoff type" game he gets lazy in the first.

Gacia almost gets jacked. One down.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) Konerko pulled it for an out at third What a shocker.

Kevin Walker =

The only pitcher from AA that should get a shot is Jenks. The only reason for that is because his stuff is filthy. Mentally he might not be ready, and his control will need to be better. But as a 7 inning guy. Sure. I would of brought up Baj and Jenks and pointed and laughed at Kevin Walker.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 10:10 AM) I guess Stanton would never get any better against righties, huh? Look at what he did last season... http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/stats/ml...2681&statType=2 He is a lot better pitcher than what he has shown with the Yankees this season. 38 years old. Maybe he is just old and is done.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 10:09 AM) There goes my plan for trading Marte. We all saw this coming over the weekend. He was doing that rotating his arm like he was in discomfort crap. This might be his swan song though. They went through this in Colorado when he didnt tell him he was hurt and risked it in a game. This would be the second time he pulled this.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 10:07 AM) .176 baa lefties for Stanton as well. He has been very good against lefties but ssi71 does make a good point as well. He will have to face a righty. We see this when Marte or Cotts comes in. They pinch hit righties against both of them. And their splits against righties are a lot better than Stanton. PASS.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 10:04 AM) Ughhh, we will only be using him against lefties! Use Cotts, Politte, and Shingo for righties. Is it that hard to understand? The minute that Stanton trots out of the pen, they will pinch hit a righty. .400BA against righties. And you know Ozzie, he wont take him out. He isnt going to trot stanton out just to get politte in to face a righty.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 09:59 AM) For all your Stanton-needs. Mike Stanton 7.07 ERA with a 1.64 WHIP. His spits against lefties are good. But good lord righties are batting over .400 against him. Methinks they will PH a righty to face Mike "Jackson" Stanton. PASS Bring up Baj/Munoz/something else besides walker or Stanton.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 09:57 AM) If we're lucky, this won't end up being that big of a deal, because there's a decent shot Walker won't see much playing time. The deal with McCarthy was supposed to be that while he was up, he'll be making an occasional spot start, but mainly he'll be consigned to the bullpen and we'll run with a 4 man staff and off-days until the AS break. If we do that, then hopefully BMac gets in the line coming out of the bullpen even before Walker, and in order to make sure McCarthy gets some innings we'll barely see Walker aside from facing the occasional single left handed batter. BMAC has earned another start next week. He is not in the bullpen. Your pen now has Walker in it.

Sweet god, why not Arnie Munoz. I would rather have him out there than Kevin "why is my bed wet" walker.

Lets just examine this a bit. Player A He is left handed He has a 5.11 ERA 15BB 27K 24 hits in 24.2 innings pitched then Player B a right hander 1.24 ERA 42 innings 21BB 51Ks 27hits This is just another retarded decision. They win I swear in spite of some of the stupidity. Timo at 1st. Nothing like starting a 5'5 midget who cant hit who played 1st in japan back years ago. Pinch hitting Timo when you have Frank Thomas and Everett on the bench. Throwing Kevin Walker in a 1 run game after you made the decision to send him down, so you can see what he is made of. He of course wets the bed like a fire hydrant was on. So whats the bets that Walker costs us at least one of the games in Oakland.

Lets not bring up Baj or Jenks. Lets bring up some retard who happens to be left handed. He has terrible numbers not only here but in AAA. This is almost as bad as Timo playing 1st.
