Why was Danks pulled?
Only 89 pitches and 5 innings of 2-run ball. 5:2 K/BB… Why go to our terrible pen when Danks is doing just fine?

i defer to the management
in such situations. they know how the players are feeling better than we do.
Jesus H. Larry! I said the first half!
True.
Hopefully someone comments on it after the game, because right now (despite the back to back Ks from Dotel) it seems like an absolutely horrible managing decision.

Sarcasm?
"P.S. if Cintron gets traded or released I will buy drinks for the whole board" - tubesox 6/24/07
I can't imagine divulging why they pulled Danks
would give another team any kind of advantage
"P.S. if Cintron gets traded or released I will buy drinks for the whole board" - tubesox 6/24/07
He left with a lead
He needs the confidence. And Dotel is oh-so rested! And (not) earning a lot of money sitting on the bench. So WTF? Let the vets play!
I took the "under".
Recapping
Cudduyer averages a SB every 100 PA’s… He has 2 in the first 5+ innings of this game

I'm baffled by the organizations allegiance to Hall and Ozuna
I mean, on a team that is “going for it”, why keep those guys on the roster. It can’t be the money—it’s so small relative to the payroll.

Over-under on how long it'll take Ramirez to get to 100lbs

"P.S. if Cintron gets traded or released I will buy drinks for the whole board" - tubesox 6/24/07
At this point
I might actually rather have Nick Masset pitching.
by Grinder in Training on May 8, 2008 2:51 PM CDT up reply actions
I would too...
Masset is a fire-starter when he starts an inning and he also fans the flames with men on base.
they pulled danks?!?
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
so
not that cuddyer’s on second with no outs, will dotel get our hopes up with two Ks and then give up a homer on an 0-2 pitch to harris?
That would be too predictable
"P.S. if Cintron gets traded or released I will buy drinks for the whole board" - tubesox 6/24/07
Wow, not swinging for the fences on a 3-2 pitch!
How strange!

he does hit the ball to left in the air, you know
that’s why the leftfielder doesn’t shift?

Not if the catcher threw to a different base.
Both runners are credited with a stolen base.

just want to take it away from the old man, huh
have you no shame?
Jesus H. Larry! I said the first half!
yeah, they indifferently gave up a steal of 3rd and 2nd in a one-run game with no outs.

by onlysoxfaninboston on May 8, 2008 3:07 PM CDT up reply actions
For those unable to watch
Konerko failed to check his swing on a 3-1 inside FB… Doug Eddings was slow to anything, Pualie took off his shin guard and started for first, at which point the runners went (as if it was a walk) and Mauer asked the first base ump for help… He said pauly went around, which he did, but by that time Q and Thome were steps from 2nd and third, and Mauer still had the ball—so it was a double steal

thank you
"I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game though, right? "

Yep...
Gardenhire was pissed that Eddings didn’t make it known that it was a swinging strike and not ball 4.
Doug Eddings screw up a call like that?
That’s unpossible!
by The Jerry Royster Experience on May 8, 2008 3:09 PM CDT up reply actions
The Sox should definitely...
put up a Doug Eddings statue.
It could be automated, with him making the fist pump motion.

i'd rather it was like those things at disneyworld and had him doing the press conference.

see, he didn't ring him up
he just indicated that it was a strike but not an out.
Jesus H. Larry! I said the first half!
konerko
correct me if i’m wrong (and i’m sure the data are out there) but it seems like konerko never even thinks about swinging 3-0 and ends up taking a lot of fastballs down the middle. while i wouldn’t want him up there hacking indiscriminately, it seems like occasionally he might want to pick a specific pitch and location and take a crack at it if it comes. maybe he does and never gets the cookie he’s looking for, but most of the time he’s just standing there with the bat on his shoulder.
crap.
poor swish. his mojo has been sapped.
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Are you implying he was obtaining mojo illegally while in the Bay area?
by hitlesswonder on May 8, 2008 3:14 PM CDT up reply actions
basically.

Juan Uribe...
is carrying the team.
by The Jerry Royster Experience on May 8, 2008 3:13 PM CDT up reply actions
Just like he did last year in May
IIRC. Beginning of the year and end of the year are his specialties. It’s mostly the middle. How ironic,since his physical middle is huge.
I took the "under".
LOL!
I love Uribe jokes!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
You are clearly the poster with the moster
when it comes to forecasting declines, SSH.
Except where players with the name Wilson are concerned.
I took the "under".
yea swisher has been pathetic
i think its time to start BA in center… one because swisher cant hit but he also is NOT a centerfielder
Swisher love?
Where has it all gone? I would be more upset with Konerko, fellas.

I'm sure.
I’ve been won over – Paul Konerko is awesome.

I heard my name being called.
Thome earned that stolen base though. First since 2002!

If you'd seen Guerrier running around

This was Thome’s first stolen base since Sept. 25, 2002, also against Minnesota, and his 19th career steal.

going back to hall
did it ever occur to KW to sign a decent backup like a molina brother or a ramon hernandez or bring up one of the guys from triple A?
um who was in AAA
it was a good signing at the time, just turned rotten, the topic of the hall signing should not be brought up again

I took the "under".
Well aware of my weight problems, WU
After all, spending all this time sitting in my parent’s basement eating cheetos and reading the internets was certain to add a bit to my waistline.
If only I had real, live friends, who I could go outside with and maybe meet in person. Maybe we could ride bikes, go for a run, or I could join a gym. But the light, oh the awful sunlight! I just can’t bring myself to go outside.
I’m going to go drink another 2-liter of pop and eat some more potato chips now.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
just for future ball-busting reference
alexei ramirez and i bear a striking resemblance in this category. skinny jokes are far more punchy.
Jesus H. Larry! I said the first half!
larry = wraithlike waistline
Swizzlestick, pipe-cleaner pins. Reedy neckline. Barney Fife-like concave chest. (Or am I looking in the mirror?)

Now, if that is the case, it is time to shoot yourself.

I'll be going to one or two of the SF games
Things are too busy for me to travel to other venues.
I’ll try to remember to bless you with my reports from the games, but I think you’re overestimating my memory and ability to string together more than 6 coherent sentences.
