Chisoxfn Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Didn't see a thread on this, so cheers to the Sox for scoring enough runs to win this thing. It wasn't pretty, but it is our first post-ASB winning streak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry&JimmyRocked Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 a winning streak is 3 straight wins "We won yesterday. If we win today, that's two in a row. If we win tomorrow, it's called a winning streak; it has happened before." -Manager Lou Brown, Major League btw our pitching got POUNDED again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Yea it wasn't pretty. The pitching just sucked today. We got lucky we went up against a rookie pitcher. Garland wasnt too good (but understandable because he isn't going to shut them down EVERY game) But it was the bullpen that dissappointed me, starting with BMac to Cotts to some MacDougle and Jenks was even alittle shaky. Tommorow is IT for Vazquez. The pen is alittle tired. He needs to prove himself tommorow! Go 7 strong (God help us all)! If you allow 3 or even 4 runs i'll be more than happY! Go Sox! Lets win tommorow and head to KC very happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Well, hitting is going in the right direction. Pitching...well...needs to find some more balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 At least it's a win, that's about all I can say about it. We got the hitting we needed but the pitching staff is still giving up too many runs. We're on a roll. Hopefully we got things going again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 not going to beach about any win they all count the same. we gotta make hay the next four games. vaz needs to give us at least six riske will get a call tomorrow. and maybe BMac MacDougal, considering his history of arm problems, should get a day off but I ain't the manager. unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretchstretch Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 on the bright side we just took the WC lead over a team that gave up NINETEEN runs to tampa bay, and we'll see if Minn comes down to earth if they get swept by Detroit. There's no reason to expect NY to cruise from here on out, so even playing 600 ball we could, possibly, end up making the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankensteiner Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Eh, whatever. This win was only enjoyable if you like seeing what you thought was one of our two good starters get pounded by a spiffty team. I guess my biggest problem with the White Sox right now is that we don't really have an identity: there's very few parts, individually or collectively, that we can depend on during the 2nd half push. We're certainly not a "pitching and defense" type team because we're really not very good at either. Garland's been dependable lately, but after a game like today, there's at least some thought that he's been pitching over his head the last 4 weeks or so. And with Garcia, Vazquez, and now appearantly Buehrle all spiffting their pants, we can't afford for Garland to be mediocre. Our offense is better than what we've seen from them post ASB, but I seriously doubt they're as good as they were in the first half. Probably somewhere in-between. With so many undisciplined pull-happy hitters (not to mention guys putting up some career numbers), we're bound to run into a couple of slumps. In that sense, I don't think we can consider ourselves like the Red Sox who have consistant, high OBP hitters and can overcome bad pitching. If KW and Ozzie are too afraid to do anything about our starters, I hope we can swing a deal for someone like Tejada or Soriano. Let's get another highly productive player into this lineup.

greg775 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 5-5, HR, 4 RBI. Hell of a game for AJ. That's just what I was thinking. It's amazing how guys' bats can wake up all of a sudden. Five hits is a pretty amazing feat in the big leagues. Hope Oz lets him play again on Sunday, but I fear the dreaded day off for AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 You guys have to be fishing kidding me with this pessimistic bullspiff. We won, it wasn't pretty, but who cares? The pen picked a good day to have a bad day. You can continue with your pessimistic nature the next time we lose. Please, for me and yourself as well, try to enjoy a god damn couple days of winning.

DBAHO Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Nice to see our offense come through with a big day. Was unfortunate for Jon to have an outing like that, because he's probably been our best SP for the past month or so. Hopefully he'll be back to where he was before today's outing in his next start. And we're back on top of the wildcard standings by .5 now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 01:12 AM) Our offense is better than what we've seen from them post ASB, but I seriously doubt they're as good as they were in the first half. Probably somewhere in-between. With so many undisciplined pull-happy hitters (not to mention guys putting up some career numbers), we're bound to run into a couple of slumps. In that sense, I don't think we can consider ourselves like the Red Sox who have consistant, high OBP hitters and can overcome bad pitching. I think the notion that the Sox are "pull-happy" really gets overplayed on this site. Look at our lineup: Podsednik generally is not a pull-happy hitter. He can slap it the other way. Iguchi - Well, if you think he's a pull-hitter, then I don't know what game you're watching. Thome - He's obviously the biggest pull-hitter in our lineup, but even he can go opposite field -- usualy for a homer. I am waiting, however, for him to slap a bunt down the first base line one of these days. For a big man, he's not too slow. Konerko - When Konerko slumps, it looks like he's a pull hitter. When he's going good, he uses the whole field and hits the ball where its pitched. Dye - I laugh when I see Dye called a pull hitter. Hell, the guy was just about the only player not trying to hit it over the LF scoreboard in the Home Run Derby. He was hitting 'em to straight center. No way he's a pull-guy. Pierzynski - Looking at Pierzynski's hit chart at US Cellular Field, I'd say more than 40% of his hits have been to center or LF. Last year, it seemed like he was more of a pull-hitter, but this year he's definitely done a real nice job going oppo. Anderson - Through the first couple months of the season, I would've probably characterized Anderson as a "pull-hitter". Lately, however, he's been wearing out that RCF gap, and it's nice to see. Uribe - Uribe can slap the in any direction, although most (all?) of his power is in his 'pull'. I obviously overanalyzed the point, but you get what I'm saying.
