If Floyd would just throw strikes...

This ump’s zone is pretty large and Floyd could dominate them if he keeps hitting the inside corner.

I love how D.J. thinks that fouling off pitches with two strikes is a totally new thing...

that no one ever did when he was playing.

D.J., you never fouled off pitches with two strikes because you sucked.

Just sayin'.

Considering how long it took Vazquez, Contreras and Floyd to make noticeable improvements, I’m not sure why anybody’s looking at him as a this-year option.

Nope.

KC announcers mentioned it, didn’t look it up . Only noted the Tigers score because people here had been talking about Cabrera as an option.

Way too early for scoreboard watching.

I always like reading articles about the physics/science of baseball

I found this one interesting

About the time the batter starts to swing—when the ball is about nineteen feet from home—the batter’s eyes suddenly jump to where he anticipates the bat–ball meeting will take place. Why? Because it’s the only way the eye can move fast enough to keep up with the incoming ball. Now that mental model comes into play. Across that brief gap, the ball’s arc is computed by the brain without further reference to the real world. By the time the batter’s eyes pick up the actual ball again, it’s too late in the swing to reposition the bat.

Beware of Psalm 78

When he struck the rock, water gushed out,
and streams flowed abundantly.
But can he also give us food?
Can he supply meat for his people?”

When the Lord heard them, he was very angry;
his fire broke out against Jacob,
and his wrath rose against Israel,

for they did not believe in God
or trust in his deliverance.

good one.

other teams are going to score and some of those runs will come via the long ball. pitchers can control that to some extent. but the failure to hold guys on and to a lesser extent the wild pitches seem to me more mental errors than failures to execute, and therefore are less excusable.

personally, i see that as somewhat good news

livan holding down the rangers hopefully tricks the twins a little longer that it’s better to save liriano.

Did Cabrera need to dive for that?

KC had the reverse angle, so I couldn’t see where he started.

I don't know about the dive

but that ball shouldn’t have left the infield

They are the best team evar

That pace is completely sustainable. They are going to win 104 games.

They are already inducting the entire 2008 Twins into Cooperstown

Don’t you know?

Clearly this season is ova.

Twins is more likely going to the playoff than

the Sox. But they will get pounded by the powerhouse like Red Sox or Angels. What is the point of making the playoff if you have no way to win the world series.

Thanks. Just need a way to forget

this terrible game and lower my expectation for the Sox.

The fine line of a playoff team

Is apparently somewhere between winning six in a row vs winning seven in a row against the Royals at home.

I’m glad we’ve made this discovery.

your expectations for the sox have not been high judging by your past comments.

you promised us in april you wouldn’t be back until 2009. liar.

Just check in to see if Sox follows my

prediction. I am sad that I’ll probably be right again

How long can Cadet SSH hold out???

How can he possibly resist the diabolical urge to push the button that could erase his very existence?!?

Can he withstand the temptation to push the button that even now beckons him ever closer?!? Will he succumb to the maddening urge to eradicate history?!? At the mere push of a single button?!?

The beautiful, shiny button! The jolly, candy-like button! WILL he hold out, folks?!? CAN he hold out?!?

I CAN'T STAND IT.

uh-oh, avilas up

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

It wasn't the hardest hit ball

but it looked like Nessie hung that pitch to me.

Why I like Ozzie as a manager

Terrible game, Sox got trounced, and yet he pulls this and manages to put a smile on my face at the end of it.

sox loss = no smiling allowed.

don’t even think about anything other than frowning until the next sox win. baseball = only thing in life.

Good line from the KC guys

“How many times do you think he’s been called upon as a pinch runner?”
“Well, at 6-2, 255 pounds, I’m guessing this is his maiden voyage.”

For the chicken littles

Not that it will matter

Sox record against KC in 2008: 6-2
Twins record against KC in 2008: 7-2

Wait even the vaunted Twins lose to KC sometimes?

by vince_ on Jul 19, 2008 9:04 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

so what?!?!? the sox lost by 8 today and the twins beat a better team by 12 runs. that's all that matters.

and, of course, the lessons we learned today, including but not limited to the following:
sox offense = terrible = turns gil meche into cy meche
rangers offense = terrible = turns livan hernandez into cy hernandez
cubs offense = terrible = turns wandy rodriguez (lifetime 4.93 era) into cy rodriguez

Beginning Wednesday, street light banners commemorating a series of special events in Chicago are going on the auction block for charity. Some of the banners were shown off Tuesday, including those featuring Pres. Barack Obama both before and after his election. A White Sox World Series Championship banner, signed by pitcher Mark Buehrle, is also being sold, as is a Blackhawks playoff banner signed by Denis Savard and Stan Mikita. The bidding starts at 12 p.m. Wednesday at Daley Center. Money raised goes to help the Chicago Anti-hunger Federation and the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
