QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:53 PM) I'm not impressed with this A's team. Why is it 7-7? I just got in to tune in. Has it been ugly? Very ugly.

Dotel in... He screwed up in the same place last year at around the same time.

Whenever Carlos sees fastball, he wants to just clobber it. Like swing completely out of his shoes clobber it. He needs to change that approach.

Carlos is looking bad again.

QUOTE (GO CHI SOX! @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:44 PM) I thought Oakland got Wuertz in the Harden deal, but I could be wrong. I don't think so. I thought they got Eric Patterson, Sean Gallagher, and some other guy. Could have been Wuertz, but I'm not sure.

WTF Paulie?

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:39 PM) Lots of Walker love in the booth tonight. BTW, I note Huff & Hawk sat next to each other. Why do Stone & Hawk sit at opposite ends of the desk? It's a different setup in every park. They can afford to give each other space at the Cell cause it's a bit booth. The one at Oakland is smaller I gues.

We've wasted a lot of good hitter's counts today.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:34 PM) lol It looks like some of us are still in the closet.

Why did the Cubs get rid of this guy again?

What's Ozzie doing? Matt Thornton in the 7th? That probably means Linebrink or Dotel might pitch. Ugh...

Failing at all the fundamentals of the game. There are traditions, then there are White Sox traditions.

Leadoff double, then nothing. This team fails.

Carlos just yelled f*** really loud...lol.

At least it's tied...

Ziegler is being used in the 6th inning now? Wow...

We need you here Gordon...

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 10:42 PM) Contreras might have to take some accountability for the meatball pitches, walks and hits Yeah, he gave up one home run to Hairston. Then he gets the next guy to hit a routine fly ball, Rios drops it. He hit a guy on 0-2, that's his fault. The next ball is a routine grounder to Nix. He should be out of the inning. I don't want excuses saying he should pitch over mistakes. 1) He pitched over one in the previous inning 2) anytime you give a team 5 outs, they will score a lot of runs on you. I don't know how the official scorer can say that the ball Cust hit was actually a hit. Nix bobbled it for 5 seconds.

I don't know how you can blame Jose for this. We gave the A's five outs in the 4th inning. This defense is absolutely atrocious.

Screw this team.

That was inexcusable. How do you not make a routine catch on a fly ball? Rios screwed that up, that was Carlos' ball. I know the CF is in command of the OF, but Carlos had a easier chance of making that play. And Nix, what the hell? How do you screw up a routine grounder like that? This team's defense is why it won't be anything but mediocre.

Who is Mike Huff? I thought that ball was close enough for a review. Would have been really cool to go up 9-0 and have Rios hit his first dinger for us.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 08:51 PM) Most of us are guessing he probably already cleared, maybe 2 weeks ago. No one would have claimed him before seeing him pitch a few times. If that's the case, why not? Kenny's already spending a bunch.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 08:54 AM) My brother in law knew a guy who got shot in the nuts while playing paintball and the testicle popped out. Wow thanks a lot, I was going to go paintball one last time before college next week. Now I might reconsider. I've been paintballing numerous times, never wore a cup before. Never thought of the consequences. Now you've just made me realize this and have made me totally uninterested. Thanks...

Seattle also pitches better than we do... It's not just their defense, although if you hit a ball to right or center, it's probably getting caught. Ichiro and Gutierrez are beasts.
