Buehrle>Wood Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) My God Konerko is just brutal out there. Also, nice to see another no namer add Cy to his name. Just a brutal approach out there, but Walk will keep his job. Edited July 12, 2008 by Buehrle>Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 instead of saying this team is dead after every single loss...do people ever stop and consider that maybe its losing that makes a team look dead, and not the other way around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight more than any other game, it seemed the players lacked focus. How many 3-2 pitches could they chase that were way out of the zone? They seem very fatigued, from the starting pitchers on down. I'll be ecstatic to go into the break with a 1 1/2 game lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) Do we ever have a good game plan against pitchers we've never seen? We looked like bIind peopIe at the plate. Gavin pitched like a pussy, what a surprise. You might as well have started Carrasco. Edited July 12, 2008 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We looked like Roger Clemens was on the mound yesterday, and tonight it seemed like freaking Nolan Ryan was out there. After we got down 4-1 yesterday, it seemed like the strategy in the 9th was "get out as soon as you can so we can go out and throw a few back" and today it looked the same.

chw42 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 10:06 PM) He's done nothing this year for you to say this. He's been good overall. However, he leads the team in walks. He's not a great pitcher on the road. And recently, he's been inconsistent.Therefore, this start did not surprise me.

I guess all I need is a couple days off from this team, like Konerko. I'm going to get my wish, too- tomorrow I'll be at the race in Joliet and Sunday I'm going to see CC.

Yeah. Seriously, I thought KW was nuts for not dumping guys like PK, Dye, Crede, Uribe, etc. last year. He obviously knew something. I'll never doubt him again. But for the last 4 days, we've been playing like crap. Luckily, we were playing KC and we came out of there with 2 wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we're not playing well, but tems will go through that at times during a long season. That being said, there is no excuse for this team to consistently make nothing pitchers look like Cy Young. That's bad. It's been a problem for years and it's annoying.

But for the last 4 days, we've been playing like crap. Luckily, we were playing KC and we came out of there with 2 wins. I honestly would like to have seen what this team would look like if KW would have traded Crede after '05 (and probably gotten a pretty good haul)...and Konerko this off season. I understand hindsight sucks and all...but getting rid of guys when their at their peak isn't a bad idea at times. Crede I'm ok with (but looking forward to the Fields era next year)...but Paulie is just a wreck out there. To me...the team emulates him when he's on the field....lifeless. Geez-us this team is so much better with Swish at 1B. It's just not his glove...it's his "life" he brings to the entire infield it seems like.

No, they would have actually beaten the f*** out of Clemens, like they have done in about 75% of the starts he has made against them this decade.

LosMediasBlancas Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Death is permanent. Dead teams don't come back to life. Smart fans don't follow teams they believe are dead. Quit following this team if you believe it's dead. What else may I assist you with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 We looked like Roger Clemens was on the mound yesterday, and tonight it seemed like freaking Nolan Ryan was out there. Greinke is damn good. I'd love to have him on our team. Tonight I'll give you. Terrible effort again against a no name. Hope our starters rest up over the break. Jose, Javy, now Floyd all stink in most recent outing. Hope we kick ass at home second half and learn to somehow play better baseball on the road. We're damn lucky we took 2 of 3 from KC. Oh well, we're playing a good team this weekend. Can we win 2 or 1? We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
