chitownsportsfan Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 This ump has a pretty small zone today. Consistent so far though. Mussina looks very sharp, could be a long day if we can't get to the pen by the 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 12:40 PM) Let's say Pods is gone next year, who leads off? Owens? Please don't say Tad. Who cares on July 15,2006 who is leading off for the White Sox in 2007 if Pods is gone. Hopefully it will be someone who doesn't take a strike, then weakly attempt a bunt at strike 2 and then take a nasty strike 3 and goes and sits down.

Heads22 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I expect the bottom of our lineup to get us going today. Uribe-Cintron-Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Odd that Jorge Posada can catch last nights game and todays game, but we have to insert a poor hitting Widger who is a terrible caller of pitches in because we need to rest our catcher.

AJ hadn't played in nearly a week. I think Widger played because Johnson was on the mound and he took him deep last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHolyBovine Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 This is the one game where I wish Frank was around. He was always good for a homer off of Mussina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 05:48 PM) I disagree. Outside of Contreras being out two weeks, what other injuries have our starters have? The Cubs haven't really had their starters all healthy for an extended period. Don't get me wrong though, outside of Zambrano, their starters suck. QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 05:51 PM) If that's true, that's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Actually, I agreed with Widger playing. We saw with Thome last night how difficult RJ is on lefties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well someone needs to explain how Freddy lost so much on his fast ball in a year. The clock didnt suddenly strike 40 on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefties have also historically struggled against Johnson. I'm sure Widger catching wasn't to give AJ a rest. He hadn't played since Sunday.
