BRIAN ANDERSON CAN'T HIT RIGHTIES! MACKOWIAK OFFENSE SPECTACULAR!!!

Thank you Joe. Joe Crede is better than Jesus.

Nuts.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 06:07 PM) You know it's bad when Balta is so upset and pessimistic. You were always arguing against me last year, now you're sounding like me. It's the pitching staff. That and our CF Platoon. It's just driving me crazy right now. Man, I really like what our hitters are coming to the plate thinking today. Even if Konerko has a bad AB here, they're keeping Wang really off balance, working him hard, making him get it up. Walker did a dynamite job preparing these guys for this kid.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 06:02 PM) Scott Podsednik has the makings of a pretty mediocre 4th OFer. Stop sayign that...Ozzie will start him in CF as a platoon for Anderson, because Anderson can't hit righties.

It would be REALLY nice to get someone on for Thome here just to keep Wang from getting comfortable.

Jesus Christ, 26 home runs hit off of Eric Milton, I mean Freddy Garcia this year.

Ball fly far...

By the way, it's time for me to say something positive. The job Greg Walker did in preparing our hitters for Wang today? Looks dynamite thus far. Konerko, Crede, Cintron have gone up there with excellent plans.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 05:50 PM) Maybe not this inning but I'm guessing this series for sure. Garland tomorrow, Vazquez 2 from now? If Javy's on again, today's about his only shot.

Anyone want to bet that Abreu breaks his 150 at bat homerless streak this inning>

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 05:45 PM) What's Torre angry about? Where Cintron was standing at the box? Out of the back side. Torre waited until after the hit to complain.

Oh wait...now Freddy Garcia has to pitch with a lead. And Mack is in CF. Uh-Oh.

Thank you Alex. Thank you Bajenaru by the way.

BRIAN ANDERSON CAN'T HIT RIGHTIES! YEAH, I KNOW BJ RYAN LOOKS LIKE A RIGHTY, BUT IN REALITY, HE'S A LEFTY WHO THROWS WITH HIS RIGHT HAND!!!

WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT MACKOWIAK'S OFFENSE??!!??!! (answer = win)

Ok, I feel like Fathom today...who bets Wang gets out of this with only 1 on the board?

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 05:37 PM) Mack? He does play the field, and we can't give it to a DH.

Come on Joe, make it a 9 game hit streak.

And it's a 2-1 White Sox lead. Oh wait, our left field and center fielders struck.

"If you're goin' against Freddy, you know to look for a mistake, and he's gonna give it to you" - DJ, summing up Garcia's season.

First home run in that kid's MLB career.

Runs given up by: Freddy Garcia: 1 Rob Mackowiak: 1 Scott Podsednik: 1

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 05:26 PM) Am I the only one that showed him not round first base very well, and he was watching the ball far too much? Nope. He hit the gas between first and second.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 05:23 PM) Bash me all you want but I wouldn'd be sad if Guillen wasn't around next year. I find him to be completely useless as a manager. Preaches pitching and defense yet keeps sending out an inept backup out to CF while we have one of the best defensive CFs in the game and he hasn't learned one thing from mismanaging the pitching staff for 4 months. I think it's worse than that. Last year, Ozzie's act kept all of the focus on him, instead of the team. This year, Ozzie's act seems to be getting to them. He can't keep them fired up, the trade deadline rolls around and they all lose focus...it's just like they've been in a daze for a month now.
