southsideirish71 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I love it when we get the mantra that Greg Walker cannot be blamed for our hitters by Hawk and DJ earlier in the season. The minute a hitter has some success, they tout how much hard work Mike Gellinger and Greg put in with the hitters. So only success is their fault huh.

And K-rod should start flipping off satan when he blows a save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I hope Floyd's improvement lately hasn't been a mirage that we trust and get burned on in 2008. But it's nice to see him doing well, either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29andPoplar Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 7th inning White Sox offense, two hitters in Uribe and Cintron who like to swing at pitches in the dirt do so, and strike out. Sandwiched around Richar who swings at first pitch up by his head to fly out to left. Uribe at least had a good at bat, he saw about 10 pitches.

BearSox Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 seriously, what is the purpose of having Myers on the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Even though Floyd met the minimum requirements for the quality start, I thought this was the crispest his stuff was since that Detroit start where he shut them down. He topped out at 94 on the fastball and it had some nice late movement. The command with the curve wasn't great, but it rarely hung and half his Ks were on it. Even a nice change today. To be honest I thought three of the pitches that the first 4 Royals got hits on were good pitches. Gload's was a curve well below the zone. Dejesus and Butler both had soft hits on outside fastballs. The curve to Grudz was a definite hanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Pathetic hitting again tonight. No way this team is going anywhere next year without drastic lineup improvements. I'm surprised Oz would want to stick around for what should be a mess again next year barring major major changes. Embarrassing to lose and finish behind a minor league team in the Royals.

Kalapse Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I didn't see the game but judging by the box score Fields, Thome, Richar, Floyd and Wasserman all had pretty good games AND we lost? Sounds pretty good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Best part about Floyd tonight - I saw he hit 88, 89 and 90 on the gun... from the stretch. That is a first, in the games I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I don't know why I get pissed when I see Erstad starting and batting 5th... but then I remind myself, it only helps in the long run (as long as he isn't brought back next season).

Glad you don't mind seeing your team get embarrassed again by the worst franchise in baseball. A draft pick? Yeah that pick is really going to help this team on the field next year.

You would of been a lot of fun in the late 80s when we stacked up on talent. Oh that 77th win is so much better than that silly football player. Frank Thomas wont help us this year.

greg775 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 How do you know we wouldn't have gotten Frank a pick or two later? Or if we didn't get Frank we got somebody else? Where was Mark Buehrle drafted? Have fun following the contract negotiations of our No. 1 draft pick next year. I prefer watching the current team and hoping it wins every game including games against one of the worst teams (besides the Sox) in baseball.

Actually a couple of more losses that year would have meant Jeff Jackson instead of Frank Thomas. That's who the Sox really wanted, but Philadelphia chose him.

Dont worry if we are further down in the draft KW will pick Danks brother like he wants to anyways.
