Carrasco has been key for us. I never would have expected this from him. I like a pleasant suprise.

Well, damn.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:15 AM) I like it more for 2010, as I'm not sure anything we do with the #5 spot will matter for the rest of the year. It, along with the Rios and Peavy transactions, would fall between the win now and in the future mentality this organization seems to have. If we can integrate Huddy into the rotation now, it’ll make his transition next year smoother.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:13 AM) Very interesting. I like Hudson's potential, but I'm not sure a start right now in the midst of a pennant race is the best idea. It's been known to work. I'd have to problem with it, personally. We need all the help we can get.

QUOTE (GO CHI SOX! @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:12 AM) NFL network s***, holdup. I don't have that either.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:11 AM) Great swing by Rios there. CQ going to have a very hard time moving him over though. Yep, that was a real pretty piece of hitting by Rios.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:10 AM) It's on NFLN Marry me. Lostfan. But in a manly platonic way.

Atta boy, Rios!

QUOTE (GO CHI SOX! @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:08 AM) But we do get the first Bears preseason game, so it kindof offsets. Some of us don't live in the state of Illinois. Where's the happy feelings for us?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:07 AM) I can't believe we don't get TV tomorrow I don't understand why their wasn't a contingency in place for this.

QUOTE (Felix @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:03 AM) Hey look! We played for one run and only got one run. Joy! Hey, at least we can say we're "fundamentally sound" now right? Right? RIGHT?

Tie game!!! YAY!!! 14 inning heart-breaker here we come!!!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:56 PM) In this situation I don't mind bunts, you get 2 runners in scoring position and your best hitter coming to the plate. 0 outs with two men on + a bunt = two men on with one out. I don't like the math

Wow, Geren better hope this thing doesn't go into extras. You take out a side-armer after you bring him in to face a guy who you knew was going to bunt?

Bets on whether the runner gets nailed at 2nd or 3rd?

Castro having a nice game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:46 PM) He's actually been much better with this than he used to be. 2006 was one of the worst years I've ever seen with that. He’s very good with Floyd and Danks. He seems to struggle with The Count and Buehrle. Maybe, he just feels uncomfortable being assertive with veteran pitchers

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:45 PM) Yep. Especially since DJ hasn't pitched in forever. And it’s not like this doesn’t happen ALL THE TIME with Count. This is the expected outcome. The minute trouble brews you pull him the hell out of the game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:40 PM) He should have never, ever been allowed to start this inning. For a so called "great pitchers manager" Ozzie has no idea about when and where some of his guys need to leave the game.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:41 PM) 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. Contreras might have to take some accountability for the meatball pitches, walks and hits

We sure as hell better hope Dan Hudson can pitch a major league level, becauxe we have very few other options. And before someone says Carlos Torres. I'd just like to point out that Torres cannot throw strikes and has no business in our rotation.

That was quick.

Who didn’t see this coming? What the f*** was Ozzie doing?

If there's still a place for The Count on this team it's in the pen. We can't keep letting him flame out like this.
