fathom Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 This is so so so ugly tonight. The offense, outside of a few plays, seems completely lifeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jphat007 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 This would suck, if we hadn't just won 7 in a row. But we just won 7 in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense, outside of a few plays, seems completely lifeless. Well...at least we won 7 in a row before this. Hopefully they get back on track tomorrow because their gonna need it vs those angels.

I completely agree. It's just so frustrating that the Indians are still within distance of the Sox after this great stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 8.5 game lead. I'll take 2 out of 3 any series, but it would have been nice to see some life in the offense the last two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to have fire when trailing in the last couple innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:59 PM) Won 7 of our last 8, 8.5 game lead, Magic number of 15. Step away from the ledge, I REPEAT, Step away from the ledge. But if you want to jump off here's a starting point..... The White Sox have not come back from a deficit of more than 1 run to win a game since July 30th. -- I'm not talking about 2 runs with one inning to play either. No, if you've gotten the White Sox down by two runs at any point in the game in the last six weeks, you have yourself a victory. JULY 30TH!!!!

Allsox Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 They deserved to lose tonight, especially with Freddy giving up a 2 out, 2 run HR to a hack like Berroa....Gotta throw him a better pitch than he did....Even with the Indians on a roll, they're still 8 1/2 games back so no worries....

Flash Tizzle Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) JP Howell follows the path of Douglass in dominating our club with an arsenal of junk. Hawk even pointed out he dominated our team with two mediocre pitches. You can't even suggest his command and was superb because he walked 5 batters. It's a game I place blame entirely on the offense. Howell deserves no credit. His numbers speak for themself. Next week, I expect 4 runs off this t-ball stand. It sickens me to watch these games such as tonight and wonder how the hell a pitcher such as this managed to do well against our club. I would just like to ask our hitters what made him so tough. What about a floating changeup or a straight 86 mph fastball is tough to hit? Edited September 9, 2005 by Flash Tizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went searching in the top of the 9th. I couldn't remember the last time we were down by a run and I actually felt like we could come back, so I dug through the box scores. JP Howell threw absolute garbage tonight. Disgusting loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that stat was my battle cry all of August saying we needed offensive help. I think the thread was entitled "Disturbing stat". Good research though, and it is very disturbing.
