greg775 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 These are the moments, win or lose, that make watching baseball worth it. I agree with you, but I don't think many others on a message board will agree with us. We lost ... so blow it up, baby!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:03 AM) Well I hope Rios gets going again soon. Other than his HR against KC I can't remember a big hit he's had in awhile. Between him and Konerko, they both look like they've never seen an offspeed pitch below the knees. More swings and misses from them in last few games than at anytime all season. KW, the time is now to get some offensive help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 It's okay, Nick Blackburn pitches tomorrow. As long as Freddy holds up his end of the bargain, we should get a split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to have better at bats than that. If his swing is so feeble at the offspeed stuff, then he better just hit the s*** out of any fastballs he sees.

If his swing is so feeble at the offspeed stuff, then he better just hit the s*** out of any fastballs he sees. He had to know they weren't going to give him good pitches to hit right off the bat, he needed to be more patient than that. 2 of those were terrible pitches.

I'm not sure if "Focused" is the right word. Swinging early against Pavano was the right move. But they were pull-happy...they wanted to pull everything from the outside edge, which was an obvious mistake that they never corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I wanted a split so the twins would gain no ground. But the Sox should have on the verge of sweep with better defense and offense execution. All we need was for Konerko to get the ball in the air, not even a hit and he couldn't do it. And ironically, he says we don't need anything. I like to Fielder batting clean-up and Konerko batting 6th. Win,lose or draw it time to cut the strings with Paulie after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 PK hits a ome run in this game, but the rub is two games in a row with the chance to come up big in the last inning and he K's on three straight pitches. Two games in a row mind you. Plus we have one bad inning gain fro a pitcher. I hope big game Freddie shows them how it is to be the stopper tomorrow. I will be watching on WGN again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
