1-2-3 for Jose
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
2 Flies, 1 line drive.
Jose needs to get the ball down.
Pitching, defense and health.
we're in trouble...joe morgan just reminded me that john lackey is "one of the toughest competitors in the game"
"For those that don't understand stats... that ops is horrifying."
that pitch was too much a strike to be worthy of an aj swing.
"For those that don't understand stats... that ops is horrifying."
it was close, and i think a lot closer than the previous 5 pitches swung at and fouled off.

that's it. if he's not even going to put forth an effort, he has to be released. immediately.

The baseball equivalent of
“Look up and sing into the mic, you sad bastard!”
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Thome now a whopping 1-22
with runners on and two out.
that's a nice stat
but i’m not that concerned with how he does when he comes up with a runner on first and two outs. before the 1st inning ab, he was hitting .310/.420/.548/.948 with risp.

i think joe morgan is rubbing off on jon miller.
"For those that don't understand stats... that ops is horrifying."
i was worried for a second based on the arm angle on the first two pitches to hunter. he rebounded very nicely.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
joakim goes home
“With nothing else to do, Joakim Noah goes back to Gainesville, carries around an open container and some marijuana, and attempts to do so without the police knowing. That last part didn’t happen successfully.”

Lackey's facial expression
Seems to say, “I got stones in my shoe,” or he’s trying to read store hours without getting out of his car.

So what are we predicting based on 3 inn played?

Carlos Quinlan (3 times).
Pitching, defense and health.
aj didn't mean to hit that one in play...that was supposed to be a foul ball, dammit!
"For those that don't understand stats... that ops is horrifying."
This is indeed very frustrating....
but I guess shouldn’t be all that surprising.
You have a team with a some really cold bats going against a trio of solid pitchers.
This is what you get.
Q!

Q! -PERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you even imagine if he hadn't been hurt?
Pitching, defense and health.
Make 'em pay, Jim.
Bust out of it!
Pitching, defense and health.
In addition to a Sox win tonight....
I want to hear after the game (or tomorrow AM is fine too) that Fields is on his way up and either Konerko is headed to DL or Wise is sent down.
I know Josh has only had 4 days worth of Abs since returning from injury….but he’s got 3HRS (another tonight) and can’t be any worse than what Thome/Konerko are currently contributing.
PLEASE KW!
Quentin can hit down and away?
Then he’s not a true White Sox.
I guess Jose didn’t like the lead.

maybe somebody served him with some legal papers during the bottom half.

Well, I know one thing.
2 – 2 tie is better than 2 – 0 Angels.
The 2-spot is double our production in the first 2 games.
We’re heating up. Look out.
Pitching, defense and health.
grounder to short...happy, daniel?

Back Carlos Quinlan, after a short pause.
Betcha they didn’t say Jacoby Ellsberry.

respect the field fucking general! ;-)

Had the bums coming up,
so no big deal.

and it lets lackey get out of the inning with 6 pitches and without facing quentin. oc, you eeeeeeeeed-e-ooooooooot.

what a fuckin idiot

Goint to 4rd doesn't improve the BA.
Pitching, defense and health.
Oops, Going to 3rd doesn't improve the BA.
Pitching, defense and health.
same BA whether he stops at 2nd or is thrown out at 3rd...

I've got it on good authority
You’ll like the way this kid handles the bat and plays the game
Larry is big on his base running prowess.
Pitching, defense and health.
the ball was at the 2nd base area
how long would it take them to get it and throw it to 3rd?
what an effin’ idiot!

joe morgan explain why jose drops down
the batter might flinch?
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
I think (hope) the comment was in jest.
Pitching, defense and health.
what would happen if we had 2 more Q!'s ?
162-0

and a whole lot of missed cutoff men.

That much Q! in one place would cause an uncontrollable chain reaction of awesomeness...
...that would swallow the entire earth.
Heh.
White Sox designated hitter Jim Thome, who primarily uses maple bats, acknowledges “breaking a lot, I mean a lot” of bats this season, maybe an average of one every two or three games.
Two today.
Never trust a big butt and a smile.
Sox Machine
nothing
they formed a committee to look into the issue
I think a sweep here is likely...
but we pitched well and of course didn’t hit….but at least we lost to some good pitchers and didn’t get Sonnanstined.
Best post all day.
Pitching, defense and health.
You know what it takes to get 3 outs in the majors?
It takes brass balls to get 3 outs in the majors.
For a couple reasons, John
One is to make the batter flinch. Another one is because he has an armpit rash, and throwing overhand stretches the skin and irritates it.

Hat would be 69 + 4 =
Pitching, defense and health.
Chicago, what a town!
Did anyone hear John refer to the Mag Mile as the “so-called Magnificent Mile” early in the game?
Alexei has hit the ball hard twice.
Pitching, defense and health.
LOL!

Great minds............................. : )

Double Plays
Sometimes I think I’d be willing to take another type of DP to prevent all these double plays.
Jon Lester threw 130 pitches...
...AND he had cancer. Cancer > Divorce.
Thanks for avoiding the leadoff walk, Scott.

Except I like Madden.
He doesn’t have the arrogance.

I wont argue that one with you
But I still cant stand him
madden wasn't the most complete (it's right there on paper) player or coach in the nfl though. arrogance not warranted.

Pitching, defense and health.
q not sure whether the game-winner was on a fastball or changeup. priceless.
"For those that don't understand stats... that ops is horrifying."
That was hilarious.
gonna out-energy a lot of guys, simply by over-attituding them

KW pull a Mark Shapiro please.....
and lock up Quentin.
This is the most fun
I’ve had watching a Sox player hit since Big Frank in the mid and late 90’s. He is locked in, and other than a few games, he’s been locked in all season.
Really big win.
Can’t have 3 game loss streak.
Pitching, defense and health.
Well, that was a great game.
From Contreras and Q! at least. :P
I had a weird feeling about the game ending that way.

anyone catch the slo-mo replay?
...barrel of the bat met the ball perfectly. Joe Morgan blabs a lot but his analysis of Q’s forward momentum and locked in knees and head are textbook. wow.
Indeed it was
I like to bash him, but when he was spot-on.

No
But the mobbing at homeplate does. I always think that someone will land on another’s ankle and twist it or sprain it or do something when they all start jumping together.

Q-uperman!!!
This kid is unreal. Sign him to a 25 year deal, right now!!! 15 as a player, 10 as our hitting coach. NOW!!
OK Kenny.....
now make that call to Josh Fields…he’s close….in Pennsylvania right now….cheap ticket to Cleveland!!!!!!!!!!
Like I said re the above,
best post of the game.
Pitching, defense and health.
you know what to do
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
even if our voting is for naught
he can still be picked by the manager, yes?
by thatshortkid on May 25, 2008 9:38 PM CDT up reply actions
can and will.

by Toonderstrook on May 25, 2008 9:41 PM CDT up reply actions
Yes
Fans vote starters, managers select backups. Q, Linebrink, Contreras, Danks, Crede, AJ all have a shot. Unfortunately, because of the stupid “all teams have to have a rep”, we will probably only see 2 of those.
by JoeCoolMan24 on May 25, 2008 9:42 PM CDT up reply actions
Two perfect batflips, too
Pitching, defense and health.
Let's be serious.
Everything that Q! does is perfect.

recap
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
but if theyre elected
the sox wont win another game
Oddly enough, most walk-off wins today since May of 2004
Also, Q!’s game-winner for those that may have missed it.
