Chisoxfn Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Fun win. Took my ethics exam while watching the game. Nice win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Santos is really growing in confidence. Three games in a row with dominating stuff where there wasn't even a hint of a comeback or threat. Pierre shifting ALL the attention in the line-up back to Mr. Dunn. Bruney has been surprisingly effectively...between him and Humber, two of the best "zero cost" acquisitions of the off-season. Ozzie, please, never ever make Beckham bunt again in those late inning situations. Just let him hit away. Acknowlege what your players are capable of doing and what they're not. Finally, let's also start executing to get those late inning runs on the board from third base and less than 2 outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) They always reel us back in. LOL this is so perfectly put. Beating the Cubs, keeping that stupid trophy, and closing in on .500 is nice though. If we can get to and above .500, it'll at least feel like we belong in a race that we've somehow been in despite being below treading water point. Nice to see Juan Pierre actualy contributing lately. It's clear that Ozzie, for some crazy reason, refuses to not play him, so we'd might as well hope he continues to somehow not suck. Maybe some of the other black holes can follow Pierre's lead and playing well for a few days, too! Great job by the bullpen today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (earthshiner @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 04:56 AM) seems like maybe that loss in Colorado was a big wake up for the team 1. Great caufield post. Agree on all those points. I think you have pretty much summarized some points about our team. 2.) If the Sox truly have gained a ton of confidence and are a changed team ... I'd like to see a blowout Saturday or one of these days. At some point, are we going to win in a rout over somebody? If we truly have momentum, we need to somehow do what the Rockies did to the Royals today, have a nice, calm, 9-0 victory. Otherwise we're still the White Sox ... plodding along trying to win close games amid trying our best to avoid getting shut out for the 10th time.

lostfan Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 What's gotten into Juan Pierre? Did he swallow Adam Dunn's appendix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he figured out the magical service time formula for Dayan and figured that while he has the undying love from Guillen, Kenny might not be so enthralled.

Greg Hibbard Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 With Juan, it might just be that a .296 career hitter is reverting to norm. It will be interesting to see if anyone bothers to give guillen any credit for sticking with him should he continue to climb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a couple of nice games in a row wash away the 3 months of garbage and multiple games lost because of his poor play? Ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt forgiving Juan because he had a good 4 games in a row And if he were to revert to a .296 hitter, then hit second half will be amazing. Im not counting on it, but it would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're playing 2 teams he's hit well against...and against whom its personal, since he played for/was traded by both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I think .275-.280 is a likely season for Pierre at this point, given his start. He's never been below .275. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
