6 up, 6 down.

but I barely noticed. Because I’m so busy being patient.

(here’s where someone can chime in with reasons to be optimistic).

Starting pitchers are good!

i wonder if the yankees or red sox or tigers broadcasters...

talk about how “this is the type of pitcher that causes problems for our team”. i can imagine that they might mention that such-and-such pitcher has a great career record against their team, but it seems pretty weak to categorically determine ‘these pitchers’ own us. some of these guys have never even previously faced the sox. i’m not even sure what’s scarier: that our broadcasters have just decided that the sox should not even be expected to hit soft-tossing breaking ball pitchers or that the sox CANNOT hit the vast majority of these guys.

i wish someone had told me that sss had replaced rationality with caps lock.

you're right, it is weak.

And an organizational disease. At least we dont have to listen to anyone bow to Johan this year.

the sox just have a built-in excuse for mediocre pitching

‘the sox struggle with these guys who don’t throw too hard and don’t have great stuff and rely on their off-speed pitches to get guys out’

No reason too panic!

Got no hit for 3 innings yesterday too! Oh wait! That’s right we lost!

So I show up late...

and see that the game is already over.

The great Jesse Litsch? The Sox don’t stand a chance against such a quality pitcher.

i believe the word is "suck", as in ozuna is a suck cost.

He’s hit .236/.269/.312 since June of ‘06. He can’t play defense. Anywhere. He’s coming off a broken leg, and is hardly the speedster that he once was. He doesn’t pound the ball into the ground and run fast to first base anymore. There’s no use for this loser.

he blows

his defense is atrocious anywhere. oh, but his bat! he’s a leadoff hitter cheat. i’m surprised you didn’t know that. that .269 obp belongs at the top of the lineup.

i wish someone had told me that sss had replaced rationality with caps lock.

by MarketMaker on May 3, 2008 1:11 PM CDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

He's stolen 4 bases in the last 22 months.

can’t be a leadoff hitter… Now he’s just the pixie we throw at problems.

I don't know what other changes they can make...

They can’t sit carlos for jerry, or JD and Swisher for that matter. The only thing they can do now is make a blockbuster trade for a lead off hitter.

by Los Soxos on May 3, 2008 1:12 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs

can we trade future draft picks?

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

based on Danks 5 starts this season.

Never mind they run completely opposite to the same numbers last season

I really have to question Ozzie's sanity here

Putting in Wassermann with the bases loaded 2 out? He’s a contact pitcher. All you need is a strikeout. I’d like to see Thornton or Logan.

by southsidejeff on May 3, 2008 1:29 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs

So you want Ozzie to bring in two lefthanders

instead of a guy who allowed righties to bat something like .125? Who cares how he gets there? He’s effective.

It’s absolutely the right call

by The Cheat on May 3, 2008 1:32 PM CDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Probably wants Wasserman to face the bottom of the order for a couple innings. Get his confidence.

An extra base hit even...

I’d forgotten what those look like when not in solo home run form.

by vince_ on May 3, 2008 1:33 PM CDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

well at least the sox gave away an out in their effort

to score one run. of course they are down 2, so it is retarded, but bunting! fuck you ozuna! fuck you ozzie for playing ozuna!!

That's Ozuna's 8th first-pitch out of the season.

He’s only been to the plate 22 times

You’ve made some very valid points about Ozuna.

by SoxfaninAZ on May 3, 2008 1:36 PM CDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

For those counting at home

That’s a leadoff double literally the top of the wall that missed a HR by an inch, maybe two.

5 pitches later the inning is over.
