Dick Allen Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) s***, I didn't realize that I was THAT right about Garland sucking in Texas. Its time to turn it around. Buerhle pitched well against Cleveland and Sabbathia. Maybe Garland can continue the turnaround. I think the Sox will be able to score a lot of runs tonight.

bjm676 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Road, Home, Day, Night... Jon has flat out been 2001-2004. Let's hope he doesn't have those Ruby Slippers on tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I actually thought Jon G had his best stuff of the season in his last start. Then he completely lost his head after the defensive lapses. This seems a common thread among Sox starters, as Mark B has suffered the same problem this season. It's time for Jon to put excuses aside and stop leaving pitches up in the zone--poor defense or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I was at the Oakland game where ol' Jonny pitched. The Frank return game. Instead of "Judy", his nickname should be "The Waiter" because he was servin' it up to a lot of different guys that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was getting hit hard most of the night, although he did strike some guys out. Seriously, he could have very easily given up 7 homers his last start.

A couple of Garland meatballs. Frank hit 3 shots off him. 2 were over the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 The odds are definitely against a quality performance by Garland. The over/under on Judy references tonight is 200. We need consistent effort by our hitters throughout the night, and not just an inning or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Even though his average is down, I think Pods is having a much better offensive season this season than last.

kapkomet Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I'm not going to argue this a thousand ways, but the point is Garland tipped Thomas, in my opinion. So, when saying he sucks, leave that game out of it, because he knew he was going to suck, to one said batter in particular. Got it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 If I were the GM of the White Sox, I would seriously consider trading Iguchi. Let Cintron and Pablo platoon at second. There's something about Iguchi that I just don't like, and I'm really not sure what it is, but I have the feeling his performance is ready to really swan dive. You can cancel the postgame show.

fathom Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Garland kept the ball down for the 2-3 hitters, and got out of the inning. There's a huge echo when the ball's hit tonight. FWIW, it looks like we'll get Ponson, Mulder, and Marquis vs the Cards next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
