maggsmaggs Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) Our team turns joke lineups and terrible pitching staffs into the best they can be. We've been pretty darn good pitching most of the year -- starters at least. Edited June 21, 2011 by maggsmaggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 It's about time for me to turn this one off. More boring, frustrating baseball after the first inning. Hopefully we can bounce back and win the series, and keep playing decent. Sometimes I'm surprised that we've been playing pretty well since May, since in some games it seems like we're one of the worst teams in baseball.

He has hit his entire career, he comes here and just goes to s***. There is something too it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgrad70 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 09:01 PM) Farmer laying into Sox fans for their reactions to Dunn's ineptitude. Yay, he's trying! "I was already booing myself." Some consolation for $14 million. Wow....some action. Ozzie kicked Soto's mask 30 feet. At least there's some excitement finally. For some reason, when one of the teams are REALLY down in this series, they have a way of really making life miserable for the better team. It's like the playoffs for the Cubs. For the White Sox, like another game against the Twins or Tigers. Wonder how many games this season we'll get 36,000+ after this series? zero (0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:28 AM) "Not a lot of teams are as aggressive one through nine as they are," Blackburn said. "They're all up there hacking, and that's pretty much what you're getting used to when you know you're about to face the White Sox." That tells the story. We are a hacking swing as hard as we can offense that doesnt make a lot of contact and prays for center cut fastballs. If a team pours in fastballs on pitch one and then throws crap into the dirt they will beat our guys. How does Walker keep his job after a comment like that. I mean, it's not like Blackburn is making it up either. If/when Walker is fired, I want to see the next hitting coach's reaction when working with our players. I'm sure there will be a lot of laughing and/or shock involved, perhaps even crying. at the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically that pitcher you put in thinking if he holds the opponent, good, if he doesn't, so be it -- we'll lose having saved the bullpen. He's what they call an "innings eater" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will go for a name, a name that will draw fans. A vet. Not young players. He will trade Jackson, and get a small pidence. He will look to move Danks in the offseason. He is not a FA yet.
