I thought...

Ozzie was gonna start playing other people at short?

Greetings from the other side...

Hey guys...um, what's up with White Sox pitching?

by B Cap on Jul 22, 2007 1:42 PM CDT reply actions

the starters

have been good enough, we have the worst bullpen in the league, plus ozzie seems okay with using all the starters until they drop.

by SouthpawsLaundry on Jul 22, 2007 1:43 PM CDT up reply actions

I had noticed that. 8th inning? I guess Ozzie just gave up. Well, I shouldn't gloat just yet. Wakefield, while a sentimental favorite in Boston, seems to have two settings: Unhittable and "I can't watch". Not sure which one we ordered up today.

by B Cap on Jul 22, 2007 1:45 PM CDT up reply actions

lowest

BA in the AL, plus our sunday lineup

unhittable.

Sure

<snark>What's his on-base percentage? We need offence. </snark>

Actually, this series has been an anomally. Normally we leave, like, 11 guys a game stranded on base and lose by 1.

by B Cap on Jul 22, 2007 1:48 PM CDT up reply actions

no you win, we insist

especially our bullpen. and non-Vazquez starters. and hitters. everyone, really.

VERY, VERY SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

Consulting with Ed Farmer.

by ballyb on Jul 22, 2007 2:09 PM CDT up reply actions

the sadder part is

whitesox.com says the team has a 'hitting coach'

uribe!!!

wow! did anybody else see that?! he didn't swing like a complete asshole

jerry owens is not a baseball player. that's all you can say about him.

such a move will also speed the departure of jerry owens.

If nothing else

At least watching 2 knuckleball pitchers go at it is interesting. Can't recall ever seeing 2 in at the same time

If not for the two 3 run homers,

it would be a 1 run game.

Watch Alex's Let's get within1 swing.

by ballyb on Jul 22, 2007 3:26 PM CDT reply actions

Why not a controlled swing all the time,

instead of the wild ass swing for the fences.

by larry on Jul 22, 2007 3:39 PM CDT up reply actions

Not bad at all....

With the Sox 2nd half schedule and hopefully the trade of Dye and Garland I think the Sox could cruis to the number one pick. Pull the trigger KW!

by hitlesswonder on Jul 22, 2007 3:49 PM CDT up reply actions

In less than 2 years

From champions to basement - fastest way to replenish the farm system. If only we could evaluate and train talent.

So frustrating to watch..

Seems like we can't get any breaks. We are destined to lose in 2007.

so many missed opportunities

by ckimcircles on Jul 22, 2007 4:37 PM CDT up reply actions

Oh, you're so right Hawk

Just when you think they've hit bottom they plummet even further.

This definitely is up their as the worst season ever for a fan - although '84 was really bad too.

Greg Walker, funny guy

I like how they sort of act like Greg had anything to do with our hitters going elsewhere and becoming better. Maybe he should worry about helping our hitters get better.
