in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintI'll make it a quick one, because I really am writing something about last Tuesday, which I'm probably just making up at this point since I'm going on memory.
- The White Sox offense scored 17 runs on Monday. They had scored 17 in the previous 5 games, including the brutal 20-1 loss to Minnesota.
- It was the Sox first 20+ hit performance since the 22-hit loss to the Rangers, which I've already referenced once this season. The 17 runs were the most since this game during the Cardinals series in '06, which also happens to be the last time they had 24 hits. The last time the Sox had more than 24 hits in a game was 1981.
- It shouldn't be a surprise that Paul Konerko was the only Sox starter who didn't get two hits, as he's been something of a reverse bellwether recently.
- Alexei Ramirez had 4 hits... by the 4th inning.
- Following in Mark Buehrle's footsteps, John Danks was not good. Though Danks was struggling with control rather than getting smoked by throwing pitches over the heart of the plate. He might have been able to take away something from the game thanks to the big cushion, as he seemed to regain some feel for his change and curve in the last three innings.
- Carlos Quentin pulled up lame on an RBI double in the first. KW and the Sox training staff seem to be downplaying the severity of the injury, which puts me in the awkward position of having to agree with Bill Melton, WU and Larry all at the same time.

recap!!!
takes some real stones for the one certifiable cocksucker on here to jump into this convo.-mm
the previous 6 games:
runs scored: 23
runs allowed: 30
record: 4-2
that was too screwy looking.
tonight had to happen.
last 9 games:
runs scored: 44
runs allowed: 44
record: 5-4
I deleted it because of the misspselling. -the Cheat
from the link i posted below
Jim Thome is hitting .371 with four home runs, 12 RBIs and eight runs scored over his last 12 games. He has 18 walks in his last 17 games. … Alexei Ramirez is hitting .392 over his last eight games. … Scott Podsednik tied a career-high with his four hits on Monday. … Jermaine Dye’s 149 home runs since 2005 are most by an outfielder during that stretch

Ah, the blowout win afterglow
When you can let all of the question marks and concerns about a team wait for some other day.
White Sox: looks like we rolled snake eyes.
AFTERGLOW
The afterglow only lasted for me until I thought of Colon’s chances against Saunders tonight. How are we ever going to put together a decent winning streak?
by craftylefthander on May 26, 2009 9:27 AM CDT up reply actions
maybe the fact that Saunders is due for a bad game

by NBA Observer on Apr 8, 2009 12:23 PM CDT
i dont think what i saw tonight was real
reasons: che 4 hits, bad pitcher (normally good) not do well but gets wins, fields got a hit, fields didnt error, there werent any sox errors, sox won a game (on the west coast mind you).
now reasons FOR believing what i was was real: fields sucked, bettermit blew, corky sucked, dj pitched well, gobble was hit hard * , BA enrgized the offense again, Q! is kinda fucked (but not really – but actually kinda not, but is hurt sorta)
- could go up to reasons for disbelief due to the 0 hits he allowed but the first two batters had some really good contact on him
so, i have reasons FOR believing what i saw was real, and reasons for NOT believing it. i do, however, have an overwhelming reason to believe that that game was, in fact, as real as can be: i definitely got a boner at the 12 run mark….
i suck - the sox dont - SSH2005
It's officially the morning after, i hope i'm not being too critical.
I don’t think I’m surprising anyone here but, Fields footwork is either horrible or slow. Maybe Hunter caught him off guard. Maybe he was just napping a bit. When Hunter stole third he made the catch from aj, stutter stepped, and tried feebly to apply the tag. If his feet were in proper position that play was a lot closer… Not an out but, a lot closer.
If our pitchers don’t hold runners very well, our catchers don’t throw very well, and our (Field)ers can’t apply a decent tag, then we are a free pass against all good running teams.
I know i am just breaking down one play but, i’ve coached little leaguers with better footwork.

Remember when "Cuban Pride" meant something...
Richard givnig management a tough decision
“I don’t see Clayton going anywhere, any time soon,” said Cora, serving as manager in place of Guillen for a third straight game. "The way he’s pitching, he deserves a chance.
“Honestly, he deserved a chance out of Spring Training, but it was what it was. Jose deserved it, too. He’s a veteran and Bartolo [Colon] has the resume. But Clayton pitched pretty decent when he started and he did a very good job during Spring Training.
“Any other situation, and he would have been starting for us from the beginning. The way he’s pitching, that decision will come when it comes, but for now, I don’t see Clayton going anywhere.”

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Who is this Anderson guy?
Batting .307 with a obp of like .380 – who did we give up and why isn’t he starting every game right now?
Remember when "Cuban Pride" meant something...
He can't leadoff, so if Q plays BA has to sit...

Sox record with Anderson on the Roster Vs. Anderson on DL
Discuss. The Anderson Mojo is giving good vibes to the team.
Others might say the reason he is batting the way he is right now is because he isn’t starting everyday. The coaching staff is giving him a chance to succeed by giving him at bats against those he matches up well against…
"Jenks, who was never afraid to say "no" to a hamburger..."
by BobbySouthSide on May 26, 2009 8:09 AM CDT up reply actions
i'd go with the latter
this guy would be a fourth outfielder on any team with three competent outfielders, and would succeed if platooned appropriately. i see him OPS’n in the 670s by the end of the season if playing everyday…
Always bet on black!
by onlysoxfaninboston on May 26, 2009 8:49 AM CDT up reply actions
Im on record (with the old one WU)
that Anderson OPS’s .720 this year. I don’t think he’d be a fourth OF on any other team (have you checked outfields lately?) Now in all fairness his BABIP is .407 right now, hardly sustainable, but he will hit for more power bringing up his slugging percentage. Teams are trying to throw more fastballs at him, which I don’t think is the greatest strategy in the world. Another thing, his out of zone strike swinging% is down significantly. Im sure having his overall swinging down has something to do with that, but his contact rates are up. 670? Not this BA.
"I'm just here to provide street cred"
i haven't followed average stats this season
it sounds like you’re making the argument that BA’s evolved, i guess i’m banking he’ll fall on old habits…i hope you’re right though
Always bet on black!
by onlysoxfaninboston on May 26, 2009 9:19 AM CDT up reply actions
In a minor sense.
Certainly not arguing he is somehow all star material. But as someone wrote a little while back (cheat I think) he does have a “plan” at the plate which says something.
"I'm just here to provide street cred"
no no,
never saying were…anyway, i think you’re prediction is plausible, and i appreciate the data you used to back it up…
Always bet on black!

This Santana quote from the AP recap made me chuckle
"Everything was OK but they just hit everything," Santana said. "I located my fastball, my breaking ball, but they hit it. Every time they saw a white thing, they just hit it. I’m not the only pitcher that’s happened to. That happens to everybody. Next time, I’ll come out and try to do my job better."
White Sox: looks like we rolled snake eyes.
"I’m not the only pitcher that’s happened to. "
WRONG.

And how 'bout the Scotty Shuffle?
Instead of bailing out a la Ichiro or Fuk u do me,he comes straight at the pitcher.And he’s hittin’ ropes.
I know that the general concensus at SSS is that he blows, he’s a butcher in the outfield, and DFA him,but he’s the best lead-off guy we’ve had since,er,Scott Podsednik.
Ridin' high in April,shot down in May.
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
when I'm back on top ,back on top in June...
you know, when I went to the game on may 19th and saw Scotty hop hop
I thought I was drunk or something, did he really start galloping in the box? I knew I wasn’t drunk, so I thought maybe it was a fluke. But I guess it wasn’t, he kept that approach going. Has anyone else done this before?
Lupe, release the balloons!

Did a search on google, check this quote from “The great baseball players from McGraw to Mantle” By Bert Randolph Sugar:
And Williams, timing not only his swing, but also moving up in the batter’s box a stutter step, all the better to hit it, thumped it over the center-field fence.

They were all squinting because the light from outside was coming inside through the open door…it was a scary sight that I tried to push out of my memory and did for almost 20 years…until looking at e-gus’s post.

How many times has this happened to you?
You have a bass, and you’re trying to find an exciting new way to prepare it for the dinner table. You could scale the bass, remove the bass’ tail, head and bones, and serve the fish as you would any other fish dinner. But why bother, now that you can use Rovco’s amazing new kitchen tool, the Super Bass-o-Matic ’76. Yes, fish-eaters, the days of troublesome scaling, cutting and gutting are over, because Super Bass-o-Matic ’76 is the tool that lets you use the bass with no fish waste, and without scaling, cutting or gutting.

Salient point:
With none of their rivals truly playing well the Tigers have an opportunity to distance themselves in the Central. You know what’s funny about this division, you can almost perfectly order the teams inversely by how many games they’ve played against the AL East: Detroit-7, KC-11, Minnesota-16, CWS-14, Cleveland-18.
Until you've looked at an ant through a magnifying glass on a sunny day, you don't realize how often they go up in flames...
Yeah
Detroit is surprising me big time so far. Clearly playing better then anyone else.

Damn Brewers blowing it
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
my favorite part was
At 22-23, the Royals merely seem like part of the huge pack of mediocre teams around baseball this season. Twelve teams currently have between 20 and 23 wins (inclusive). It’s like one day we woke up and the entire game was one big version of the NL Central. I don’t like this world.

Yep
Of course our beating came at the hands of Toronto who don’t know the meaning of win since they began their AL East quest. Detroit had a nice long home stand. The White Sox get theirs in a week. We will know more than.

They have pretty much just kicked the crap out of Cleveland, Oakland and (perhaps a bit more impressively) Texas.
They’re 14-1 vs. those 3, well under .500 vs. everyone else. Not saying they’re not legit … ok, maybe I am.

Think he likes Neal Cotts?
I simply cannot fathom
Ring_tiny by grathanial on May 26, 2009 2:10 AM CDT Comment 54 comments, 54 new
Why in the f@#k Cotts is still on this team. He is simply god awful. Its pretty bad when you are seen warming up in the bullpen is everyone’s first reaction is ‘Oh god, here comes some runs’. If he is not DFA’ed, or taken somewhere and shot, in the next few days than the cubs organization is clueless. He is supposed to be a loogy, and he has given up 4 homers, ALL 4 TO LEFTIES. Our bullpen would be better made up of all righties instead of having him. After scoring 5 runs total in 6 games, our team finally hits and scores runs, only to have Cotts blow it. It is just utterly disgusting that he is still here.
But do you like Neal Cotts?

you sign him

sign Walker to a multiyear extension.
One positive take away from the loss to the Pirates...
It served as a catalyst to continue the Cubs major skid…bwaaa ha haaaa!
But seriously…
Was it me or did Danks seem to be falling off the mound yesterday? He just never looked comfortable.
And…I think they should send Q! to the DL. That foot injury is like a hamstring that needs lots of time to heal…and even then there are no guarantees. I’d rather have a healthy Q! in mid-June, rather than a hobbled Q! down the stretch. The AL Central is such a crapshoot, I think the Sox should be able to keep their heads above water if they can show even a hint of consistency.

they should have sent him to the DL a week ago.

The thing about the Tigers is that they are getting great performances from scrubs on their staff
Edwin Jackson has turned into a great pitcher after posting a 100/80 K/BB ratio the previous year. He is posting a whip .4 lower than his career average! Willis has been better than league average. Porcello the same.
I have a feeling these guys will fall back to the same crap they have been most of their careers.
both of those guys were considered elite prospects
Edwin was the next big thing for the Dodgers for forever, and Porcello went late in the first round to Detroit because 26 or so other teams(the Sox included) didnt want to pony up and pay the man.
Im kind of hoping for Willis to have continued success, just not against us. I always liked his enthusiasm. I think he had to do some growing up. I remember an interview with him when he first came on the scene at his house and all he ate was candy, ice cream, just junk. Im sure he realizes he has to maintain his body now for continued success.
I deleted it because of the misspselling. -the Cheat
It'll be interesting to see what Willis does over the course of the season
and you’re right, Jackson and Porcello are far from scrubs. Jackson may just have figured things out. I remember back when he was close to untouchable, or at least that the dodgers wanted the moon for him.

Formerly Crede's Crew
I had a soft spot for Jackson when he was with the Rays.
Thought he’d be a good addition for us. Porcello is coming along faster than we thought. Willis is a wild card (can anyone say Gavin with a higher upside and lower downside – at least in terms of his career numbers/history?).

i've seen willis pitch twice now since he's been back
once on tv and once live. he is not league average. guy cannot throw strikes.
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
So, got stuck at home today watching the kid because the nanny
called in sick (was she hanging with you drunks this weekend?).
Anyways, watching ESPN this afternoon and probably have come across the most annoying jack ass on TV. I thought Billy Mays the informercial guy was bad, or the Shamwow douche’ – but Jim Rome takes the cake. Can he just get hit by a bus or something…why is this “I am cooler than everyone on TV” idiot still have a show? What shit does he have on the executives of ESPN? Even my 8 month old daughter is yelling at the TV….
"Jenks, who was never afraid to say "no" to a hamburger..."

the only good thing about the network now is their commercials.
oh, and Tony Kornheiser, but I realize 95% of people hate him, too.

I like Tony too.
Nothing better than having the balls to call someone a moron (which he does frequently). He and Wilboun.

Rome is a jackass
but I have to admit sometimes I find him pretty funny. I like him better in tv format. Too much dead air pauses on the radio.

You are a member of GG I?
Yes, the work ethic hasn’t changed much with the recession. Just more people whining, if you ask me. Got friends who are working the trades and since the recession hit and the housing market has sunk new construction, they have been out of work. Instead of looking for work or doing side jobs etc., they just complain about everything, sit at home and collect unemployment and wait for the unions to get them a job. Then they complain about the non-union immigrants (mainly eastern europeans) getting any jobs that are opening because they are cheaper.
It is a joke.

Thanks, DB - not GG I, that would be my parents.
I do see those talented, educated, experienced folks who are actively seeking work not finding a damn thing (of course, our economy down here ain’t too scintillating right now). But effin’ kids blaming my generation for the world’s ills (I’m looking at you, Ginger) and not talking about what they are willing to do to change it.
Scary, though. My sister was pointing out the multi-generation families on her street in Mundelein. Unfortunately the reason the 22-25 year-olds have moved back into their folks’ places is because they can’t find work. And lots of ‘em on anti-depressants, according to her. I think folks have to temper expectations and get creative. Someone invent the next Google or Apple in someone’s (Wiz’?) basement, already. We don’t need another effin’ Twitter, FaceBook, or MySpace.

The mentality of a majority of kids these days is what can you do for me
not what can I do for you. Was down in your neck of the woods (or your state, didn’t get too close to your trailer park) and the inlaws had a party on Sunday with a bunch of family and friends. They have that new Nintendo whateveryoucall it and all the kids sat on the couch and played that all friggin day. None of them went outside or even socialized. It was scary to watch. Half of these kids could have used a little exercise…if this is the effort they put forth everyday, well our future looks quite bleak.

Guy I work with was talking with Clay Zavada this weekend..
I mentioned before that they played college ball together… He’s from Streator IL and ESPN is running a little segment on his mustache. He was laughing the whole time telling us about it….
It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
