Jose Contreras was very upset when he heard the news about Ozuna, and he’s pitching like a guy whose mind is somewhere else.http://twitter.com/cst_sox/statuses/853300166
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Why not both?
gonna out-energy a lot of guys, simply by over-attituding them

maybe they were roommates.
at family parties, jose did always introduce pablo to the kids as his friend…
Like Felix and Oscar
Pablo was the neat freak, Jose was the slob.
However, Jose caught, Pablo pitched. Interesting relational dynamic.

I used to actually enjoy Cowley
but I’m starting to like him a little bit less every time he twitters something. Was Cowley Ozuna’s personal driver or what? I think he is the one who’s mind is elsewhere.

I liked Cowley when he was with the Southtown
Ever since he’s moved to the Sun Times it has been downhill.

I know he’s been a good one….but just done with him.
You are truly off your game this eve
Were you intertwined with Pablo/JC? Menage?

no kidding.
i mean, it should have been pretty obvious from a quick look at the numbers that he was the only guy on the roster with any strikeouts, popouts, and errant throws.

I've heard the same from anyone who's been there

I'm heading back there in September
Two Sox-Royals games and one Mizzou football game. Make a stop at Arthur Bryant’s, the Negro Leagues Museum and a burger joint in Columbia, and I’ll have seen everything I miss about Missouri in three days.

So if we offer him arbitration and he jets we get a high compensation pick?
type B

probably yes...

but does the all-star selection have any effect on this
even though that would make no sense
it certainly could, but it doesn't.

this just in from the mouth of big bobby: sox to make a big push in september, we can take it easy for now
"There is no reason for me to go out and try to push it. Especially where we are sitting right now, I can rest the first half and that way I’m healthy for the second half and that September push. That’s more important.’’http://blogs.suntimes.com/whitesox/2008/07/jenks_headed_to_dl.html

i think it's reasonable to think he can learn to become more selective
that walk rate is pretty bad but i don’t think he’s stuck like that.

AS selection has gone to Qs head.

you can’t use the number of guys who are left on base when the inning ends; that prevents double counting and isn’t nearly chicken little enough for this crowd.

Shit....I guess a small positive looming ahead is that
Soria threw 36 pitches yesterday.

I don’t think they are dead.
Just tired from listening to ssh.
Coffee is for closers.
they looks somewhat dead.
still pretty fucking cute though

In an effort to ignore the Sox game...
Aardsma is putting up good numbers for the BoSox….2.84 ERA with like a .217 BAA.
30% of inherited runners score on him
I was looking at his stats and noticed that.
Coffee is for closers.
Ehhh...it's not a big deal
I’d rather have him than Masset, but I mostly just thought it was interesting to see how Aardsma was doing.

THIS TEAM FUCKING SUCKS
Can’t beat the Royals on the road. Contreras is horrible, DFA him. We need Pablo back to get a spark, that was a mistake to let go of our best bunter.
no doubt

’’We have the horses. Everyone has to stay positive and keep grinding." -Kenny
"Its almost gotten to be obscene that we cant get a man in from third base." -Hawk
He's not as cute in blue?
And to think, I just invested in Jergen’s.
His most recent E5, botching a sure double play, was classic, as was his recent Dybzynski moment – pinch-running, then quickly getting picked off.
Pablo taketh away, and he giveth, usually with the same hand. Pablo, we barely knew ye. - WU

More so when it’s every pitch.

Jose should be out of the game at this point
Or at least a coach should bring a cell phone out to the mound so he can talk to pablo.
Am I the only one who doesn't think Jose's been awful today?
