Now we need a solid 9th from Jenks.

If we get a run here, Linebrink can get the win.....that sucks.

Not that I agree with the logic....but I'm guessing Linebrink was left in the game with hopes of saving the bullpen. With Garcia and Contreras going the next two nights, you have to figure the pen is going to get some work.

I'm not as upset by the HR as I am by the back-to-back walks.....you just can't give a team 2 free runners with a three run lead......thats a recipe for disaster.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) 3 pitches, 2 outs. Looking good so far *crosses fingers* Bobby could go 5-6 innings at this rate (if needed)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 04:33 PM) Is Dotel or Thornton coming out for the 9th? ESPN.com says Andrew Bailey? I think they are wrong unless he was traded in the last 15 seconds

Come on Mark....one more inning of shutout ball!

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:12 PM) How bout a little bloop. You mean a ducksnort?

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) oh my God, I was cursing up a storm at this game before that homer. I had faith we'd get it done......you have to remember we have 9 innings to score more than them.

So do I at least get a cookie for calling Lexi's 3 run shot?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 10:21 PM) Wrong, AJP didn't single. Try again! Damn....and I thought I had a winner with my prediction. I guess thats the last time I call a 3 run shot for a White Sox winner in the 9th inning!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 10:02 PM) True...let's predict the 9th inning Konerko walk Wise pinch runs for Paulie AJ gets signal to bunt....ignores it and singles to right field Carlos flies out to left Lexi goes yard for a 3 run shot Getz walks Pods grounds into fielders choice Pods caught stealing to end the inning Bobby comes in and strikes out the side on 9 pitches Sox win 3-1

3 batters in a row (including Kotsay) swing at first pitches with the bases loaded and a wild pitcher on the mound!!!!! Can someone explain?????

When a pitcher walks in a run, why in heck would the next batter even swing at the first pitch? (Yet alone a pitch well out of the strike zone)

Still only 1 out....we could score 20 this inning!

When I started this thread, I was surprised how many people thought this possibility was dead. When Kenny Williams wants a guy, he usually gets him (no matter how long it takes). Thats why I still think Chone Figgins will end up on the Sox (even if its in 2018)

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 07:48 PM) Can we still say BA makes that catch... BA could have went 0 for the season and been worth a run a game to this team. If we had another reliable CFer on the roster, that wouldn't be the case.....but I can't believe we ran off the only guy on that can consistently make plays in that position.

mlb.com doing free live look-ins now for those who can't watch the game.

Lets score 6 runs here!

I'm feeling a 9th inning rally to gain the split

It seems like everytime we intentionally walk the bases loaded.....we end up walking in a run.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 10:18 AM) I hope Wise gets a standing O from fans next home stand. I would definitely give him a standing O his next plate appearance (if I was at the game) and I'll cheer for him as long as he's a White Sox. However, I'm not about to give him a free pass or make him a lifetime member of this organization because of one play. I still believe BA is the better option of the two for this team and increases our chances of winning the division more. However, if Wise is going to be the man, I'll cheer for him to do the best and truly hope he proves my opinion wrong.

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 09:14 AM) Wise leading off, nice. How often do you see a guy make a great catch and then lead off the next inning... A lot more often than you see a guy with a sub .200 batting average leading off in a pivotal July game against the co-leader of the division.

Give him 500 autographed baseballs so he can have something to sell on ebay after his career is over (soon).
