And Alexei Ramirez...
at second base.
And against a lefty they’ve never seen before.
This team is going to score two runs today, max.

Meh.
It would only be a problem if Orlando Cabrera ever reached base.

I'm going to keep beating the drum...
Chris Getz went 1-for-4 with a double tonight.
Wes Whisler pitched 6 strong, but Mike MacDougal and Oneli Perez combined to allow six runs in the last two innings and blow the game.

LOL!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Looks like regression to the mean...
And if Jonathan Sanchez for Crede (straight-up) was on the table this offseason, do you think that Kenny was stupid for not making the deal?
I take it back, haha...
That curveball was fucking nastay. But these stupid walks and getting behind in the count early has to stop. Otherwise, Gavin will get hammered.
all right

Well then make it work both ways
John Danks is juicing because he’s having an awesome season, and so is Carlos Quentin

Swisher...
He hit 21 homers in 2005, 35 in 2006, 22 last season, and he is on pace for 16 this season.
I think it’s funny how you guys act like a ton of these guys weren’t juicing.
Roid rage would explain a lot of your posts.
Sherm Lollar hit 22 homers in 1959, and 7 in 1960.

Sherm was an avowed user of the "linament"
rubbed into his biceps. Ted “Big Klu” Kluzewski turned him on to it.
Never was the same after ‘59 and geting tagged out at the plate by John Roseboro. I believe the 3rd base coach for the Sox was named FN Fox.
I took the "under".

What about Ken Henderson?
Went from 6 homers to 20 to 9 over three seasons. He must’ve been on some crazy stuff in ‘74.

I like how all of a sudden...
...everybody who has a different year from a previous season is all of a sudden on or off juice, even though baseball history is littered with guys who had one big year.
But you do like playing McCarthy around here (Go back to WSI, homer).

I think it's funny that you equate
the juice with success… There are far more guys on the margins of baseball who have been caught using. Did they just get the bad stuff, and the good stuff is reserved for the one’s you reference?

You know who on the A's was an obvious juicer?

we want him to remain type-A

It’s like watching an f’in spring training game. They keep going away from the center field camera for pitches.

But he had to face the pitcher to do it.
Screwed himself out of retiring his 2nd leadoff man this week.
The Giants have two hits...
...and yet they’ve stranded six.

This lineup actually looks better...
It used to have Eugenio Velez and Brian Bobcock up the middle…
But still, when your “better” lineup features Benji Molina in the cleanup spot, [insert humorous hyperbole here]

Wonder what it would have taken for KW to get Josh Hamilton before Cincy traded him...
5-5 tonight with two more HRs
Molina is doing better than the Sox
He’s 0-3 w/ RISP in the first 5 innings…
The Sox went 0-2 w/RISP the other night… in 9 innings.

Floyd took 5 pitches to K
so you’ve got that going for you….

Josh Hamilton 5 - 5 today.
2 HRs, 5 RBI.

Pitching and defense.
Well, HE does have a bit of a checkered history....

and then promptly traded him to the Reds for cash.

Is pinch-hitting for Gavin an upgrade?

With the lead and Paulie's sore hand
Don’t see why he wouldn’t double switch. Though its not like SF has shown any ability to score either way.
I feel my dismissive comment comparing Ramirez to Gavin played a role in motivating him
He was checking his iphone between pitches, I’m sure
It was nice that the "Cuban Missile" finally got a big hit...
Our offense is still frustrating to watch.
Why doesn’t every team just call up a pitcher from the minors to face us that we have never seen before?
Wait until we lose the lead to bemoan how much we suck, willya?

Stolen bases rules...

I wonder when Ozzie will realize that we win games with homeruns.
