QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 08:26 PM) I think Ozzie decided with the bullpen's workload and the fact that he needs to conserve Thornton and Dotel for down the stretch...that he was willing to sacrifice this game to teach Boone Logan a lesson and end his White Sox career...I wouldn't be shocked if he never pitches for us again. Yeah, sacrificing a game in August in a tight pennant race to teach Boone a lesson would just be brilliant managing. If Ozzie is thinking that he is a complete dumbass.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 08:15 PM) I agree with this...earlier in the year, we would have had Thornton in and Dotel warming up. Now, we have Logan in and Russell warming up. KW has really failed this pitching roster. We still could have had those guys warming up.

Contreras looked real sharp in the 1st. Good to see.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 05:10 PM) So we're playing Griffey Jr. against lefties, and giving him his days off against righties? Sure seems like it. Talk about putting your players in a position to fail.

Not that it is that big of a deal but can I make a request for a spoiler and non spoiler thread?

1-0 USA USA holds on for the victory. They are going to have to play much better D than they did today for them to advance though.

Awful AB by Anderson

Our bullpen f***ing sucks

QUOTE (CQMVP @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 05:33 PM) Can anyone tell me why Buehrle started today? Didn't he just start on Tuesday? I mean, he's a pretty heavy guy, he just pitched 3 days ago, and it is like 98 degrees in KC with a 110 degree heat index... He also had some sore shoulder problems a while back. He shouldn't have been starting today, in my opinion. The last thing we need is him getting hurt, and you could tell he had spaghetti arm today. Especially with Toby Hall catching.... He calls a brutal game behind the plate. Buerhle pitched Monday so he is on normal rest. Hall may suck calling a game but it really wouldn't have mattered with how lousy Buehrle's stuff was today.

Damn, so close. Keep the line moving those guys

Tying run at the plate

Big at bat by PK here. Lets go we are still in this.

Bad break for Konerko there. Well if there is a bright spot it is that PK has looked good at the plate today.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 04:24 PM) Do you really have tremendous confidence that Wasserman could have shut down the Royals, the way he's pitched this year? I think half of Esteban German's hits this year have come against the White Sox. And they're playing without two of their better players, DeJesus and Grudzielanek. Nope. But I was extremely confident that Buehrle had absolutely nothing in the tank and would continue to get hit.

Awful decision to not let Wasserman start the inning.

Why the f is Buehrle still in?

Can we please pull him before the lead is insurmountable.

I've seen quite enough of Buehrle for the day.

How about we just set it on a tee for them?

Buehrle has nothing today

Terrible

QUOTE (Karko's Throat Skin @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 03:30 PM) Never thought I would see the day where Juan Uribe is playing better defense than OC ??? If there is one thing Uribe has always been able to do it is play D. He can't hit, but he has always been good with the glove.

Nice job by OC keeping that in the infield.
