Chicago Teams Demonstrate Ineptitude Equal to that of Cup Sponsor

in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
Print
Ted Lilly added another accomplishment to Greg Walker's resume, as both teams combined for 15 innings of listless, hitless baseball. No-hitters are supposed to be exciting demonstrations of domination, but this just had the feel of two clubs who knew the exact number of days until the All-Star Break and were counting the days to their 5 month vacations.
Still, little Juan Pierre fought hard, and vanquished the precious attempts of Ted Lilly to hold the White Sox hitless. Pierre's 9th inning slap single would be the Sox only tally. But baseball is about wins, not accomplishments, and as I had been tweeting since the 7th, for the Sox to have any chance in the game, Alex Rios and Paul Konerko had to come to the plate in the 9th. Pierre's at-bat had seemingly guaranteed Rios' at-bat. But when Carlos Marmol walked Andruw Jones he flinched when seeing a major league hitter and balked. This opened first base, and allowed for the correct decision to walk the only competent bat in the White Sox lineup.
Konerko ground into a game-ending double play, but the Cubs being the Cubs, chose not to accept that gift horse and drew things out further in the form of a Carlos Quentin at-bat. You know, allowing you just enough hope that this would be the day he comes through and finally realizes he's not a 1-year wonder.
Alas, twas not the day. Greg Walker is still employed. Q! is more figment than Qperman! And the Sox are just the Sox, sorry as ever.

"Just as sorry as ever?" The Sox scored 41 runs last week and have 6 straight quality starts
Yeah, Gavin’s “Ineptitude” was evident only carrying a no-hitter into the seventh.
And the offensive ineptitude was evident by the one hit off Ted Fucking Lilly.

but are you implying Lilly is bad? I mean his record is a function of zero run support.

Ton of fly ball outs. Some longer than others. Looking it up, he did throw 72 out of 108 for strikes, but it seemed like he was having a tough time getting the ball in the zone.

~125 ERA+ the last three years
dude is almost certainly not “getting lucky.” Lots of fly-balls, sure, but not particularly hard contact.
Lilly has been very much above average.
And has produced way above his contract, even though none of us expected him to. I know I didnt.

If this team stays exactly the same, we’ll be getting more of the same. A few moments of brilliance, but mostly a lot of bad baseball.
As I’ve posted before, to keep pace with the Twins, assuming the Twins don’t have a complete collapse, the Sox have to play .660 ball the rest of the way…which ain’t gonna happen with the team in its current player configuration.

it's probably better to consider what the teams are projected to do going forward.
are the twins a “real” 93 win team? i wouldn’t say that but others may differ.
of course, the white sox probably are a “real” .500ish team. even with an offense that’s usually subpar, as was evident in the last week, the pitching is likely to be a whole lot better than it was for the first two months. and the team should be able to win more games than they did for the first two months.
of course, as you point out, they’ve dug themselves a huge hole that will require a near-miracle for them to dig themselves out of that hole.
I remember when Snake Plissken got the US Hockey team to beat the Russians
It happened in the movies, it can happen here.

The problem might be, sorry… the additional problems besides the hole, is that they have the resources to do something about that this trade season.

If you assume the Twins true talent is around 86-wins and that they play like it from here out,
With their good start to the season they are on pace to win about 90 games.

Whatever happened to Carlos Quentin? I can’t recall anyone ever having a career like this. Abandoned by the team that drafted him #1 after a dismal showing during his first call up to the majors. Then a spectacular MVP quality season, followed by another dismal season and then a complete and unmitigated disaster that has sunk him into sub-replacement level status.
Physically he looks fine, but mentally he’s a goner. You’d think that after the success he had in 08 he could draw on that experience for strength and confidence, but it’s not to be. This is really sad, he seems like a decent guy too, it’s really painful to witness.

that's what I'm getting at
If they can’t hack it mentally you don’t see that kind of career arc. There’s been plenty who’ve had early success who fell apart when they couldn’t deal with failure. But he and Ankiel both overcame failure, and in the case of Q he reached the summit – and then fell right back on his face again.
What would be even more astounding is if he bounces back from this. He seems to be a real mess, that last AB was pathetic.

charboneau was a rookie of the year and then cratered
Q experienced failure first, but then came back and performed at the highest level in the game, but then failed again. The big down, huge up, followed by an even deeper down is the anomaly. He’s so bad this year his career might be over.

I stopped watching it halfway into Season 2
It was getting too absurb and Jesse was like chalk on a blackboard. But I started watching again the last six episodes this season and it’s been excellent. I caught most of last night’s but’ll have to rewatch it, missed some of it switching back to the 9th inning during the commercial break. The Gus character is awesome.

yes, I loved Jesse Season 1
Season 2 he was a whiny bitch, I couldn’t stand him. This season he’s great again.

The season moved pretty slowly, but I was shocked at how much Skylar and Jesse transformed this season.
I really disliked both characters for the majority of seasons 1-2, but both actors were simply amazing this year. If Aaron Paul loses an Emmy to some assclown from Lost I will write many strongly worded comments. My only gripe was I wish the cousins were a little more involved with the end of the season.

I was a little pissed they tricked my tivo into thinking it was 2 hours long but really gave me a sneak peek at some show I didnt watch. I settled in for two hours only to get one. Other than that though, yeah, holee shit.

Nice to see Floyd rounding into shape
He’s now just a tick less than 8ks/ per 9. Buerhle is up to about 6 ks/9 for the last month, which is where he really needs to be. Pittsburgh and Washington is what the doctor ordered for the starting staff to now kick it into overdrive.
Alas though, change has still not come, so I remain on the outside. Day Six.

Sunshine aside
I don’t get the tone of the story. It was a pitchers duel among 2 decent pitchers. I enjoy these type of games from time to time. Nothing to hang your head at if Lilly was on. Im sure the ninth played more into it….

I agree with this
yesterday’s game actually had my attention. In fact, it pulled me away from the Celtics/Lakers game, and normally there’s no way I’d turn off a Finals game for a regular season baseball game. Both pitchers had it going on, even if it was against two shitty offenses.
One question — was it just me, or was Floyd throwing the fastball/slider combo almost exclusively last night? I can’t recall him throwing too many 12-to-6 curves. That strikes me as way different from how he usually attacks hitters.
Accept for Qs last at bat, and having to endure Joe Morgan
I also thought last night’s game was great. It was a legitimate pitcher’s duel and it was nice to see Floyd pitch well two games in a row.

F*ck Dave and Marty
“And Dave and Marty, they got enough problems doing what the do in the classrom.,” Piniella said in the home dugout, his voice raising. "What job have they had in baseball besides talking in the break room between classes? What have they done? Why aren’t they farm directors and bring some kids around? Why aren’t they a general manager? Why haven’t they ever put the uniform on and be a pitching coach? Why haven’t they been a field manager? There are 30 teams out there that could use a guy’s expertise like that.

man.
you’ve got some cheek for a country who’s 3 major sports consist of:
baseball – next to no physical contact.
basketball – netball.
american football – pussified rugby.
in fairness to baseball, this aversion to physical contact may be a staunch attempt at warding off the gayness.
I don't think tsk was agreeing with The Onion's bit, as much as he was slam-dunking the opportunity to post that in response to resident homophobe, OznC.
Although, now that I consider it…. soccer men are disgustingly good-looking…….
hmmmmm……..
In seriousness, I strongly believe that American football has the highest concentration of gays.

Plan A is stand pat. Plan B is fire sale. Let me introduce you to Plan C
Carlos Quentin is killing the White Sox. The team would have a much better record even if he was hitting slightly better.
If anything is an upgrade. Why not upgrade? Replace one number with a slightly higher number.
So here goes – what would it take to Nick Markakis on the White Sox? Young guy, great bat, left handed, extremely agreeable contract…
I’m not kidding. This is your Blue Book question. What would it take for the Baltimore Orioles, 17 wins and all, to trade Nick Markakis to Chicago White Sox baseball club.
Theain is the guy I Just can’t stand! pierre is almost as bad,he dose get on base more. If Quntin gets any worse trade him. WE NEED HELP!
a lot
he’s one of the cornerstones to their future. they’re banking on him, jones, riemold, and weiters to lead them into a new golden age.
