I Wish We Could Have That One Back

CHICAGO - AUGUST 10: It wasn't Freddy's night if you're just tuning in.(Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)


Will the first place team in the AL Central please step forward.

Not so fast, Chicago White Sox. Try again on Thursday. Please!

Games like this are exactly why the White Sox felt like they had to go out and get an Edwin Jackson. Freddy can not be trusted in a pennant race. His 80 mph junk just isnt getting it done, despite his grit and determination perspiration. Games like this are also the reason we pined for another bat. A waiver claim tomorrow can't be blocked by the Twins. So we've got that going for us.

Everything went right for the Twins in this one. Three sharply hit balls to lead the game off. A nice stab by Paul Konerko turned one of them into an out and helped limit the damage in the 1st to one run. In the second Jim the outcast Thome took the first pitch to the opposite field for a home run. JJ Hardy and Joe Mauer (9 HR between them all season coming into the game) each reached the seats as well, it was 5 zilch after 1 and a half.

For the Sox things were ugly. Losin' ugly. The top third of the batting order managed to reach base three times between them for the whole game, and ran into outs on two of those occassions. Alex Rios was caught stealing in the first. Juan Pierre picked off in the third. On base machine Omar Vizquel went 0 for 4. Carlos Quentin provided one of the only highlights with a three run bomb in the bottom of the second. It didn't make me forget Brent Lillibridge couldn't make a play in the top of the inning and Alexei Ramirez didnt cover second base when they had the shift on for Jim Thome, giving him a free bag. Freddy Garcia only made it through 2 1/3 innings and surrendered 6 earned runs. Pena inherited one of them that he let score, and allowed two more on his own dime in the 4th inning. The Sox went down in order in the bottom of the 4th inning. Then Tony Pena gave up another 2 run blast to Michael Cuddyer in the top of the 6th inning making it a 10-3 ball game.

Rios doubled with one out in the bottom of the 6th, and Konerko followed it with a RBI base hit off the wall advancing on the play because the Twins were too busy giggling about how quiet the Cell was. Base hit for Mark Kotsay. 1st and third. Che with a sac fly. At this point I want at least one more DSNB this inning but no, the inning ends with the score 10-5. At least the Sox meat of the order did a little damage in the 6th forcing the Twins bullpen into the game for some garbage time.

Scott Linebrink. With a 1-2-3  7th inning. I'm not joking. 2 strikeouts even.

Then he gave up a 2 run homer to Kubel in the top of 8.

Matt Guerrier pitched the 7th and 8th innings for Minnesota. He sat down every batter he faced.

Bobby Jenks came in for the 9th inning. He retired Thome, but gave up a base hit to Valencia which gave the entire Twins team a hit on the night. JJ Hardy reached on a slow ground ball to second base somehow. This game is infuriating sometimes. I would've preferred Bobby just plunk him with the heater. Its been that kind of night. He retired the side without incident. The Sox got one back in the 9th and that was it. With reserves Lillibridge and Castro forced into service they are turning back into pumpkins as opposed to the world beaters their small sample sized numbers reflect.

Jason Kubel was 2 for 2 with a HR, a base hit and 3 walks. He scored 4 runs and knocked in 2.

Final score: Twins 12 - White Sox 6

Star-divide

Dont Stop Now Boys: 3

John Danks and Gavin Floyd are more than capable of taking this series back from the Twins, but they are going to need a better effort behind them over the next two days.

im not sure but,
The Dodgers canceled Ramirez’s MRI on his sore calf on Saturday and later said that it might not be necessary, pending how his workouts go at the team’s Arizona facilities over the next week, the Dodgers’ official site reports.
Spin: Ramirez apparently has reservations about taking an MRI, feeling a little claustrophobic entering the machine. According to trainer Stan Conte, the MRI is not necessary, but just done to measure Manny’s progress. “We’re at the three-week marker,” Conte said. “We just wanted to see. We didn’t expect any changes one way or the other. It wasn’t supposed to be a big deal.”

for the doubters

thome can be considered one of the better free agent dh signings, go figure you know…

just to add more kerosene to the fire, thome’s WAR is 2.0 for the season thus far, and kotsay’s is -0.6…seriously for all the doubters to continue on with the denial is laughable

Thome, the elder statesman, has actually been the best of the bunch. His wOBA has been over .400 in each month of the season save for May. He doesn’t have a ton of PA, just 232, so he won’t have standout counting numbers, but given the context his 14 homers looks pretty impressive. So does his .404 season wOBA. The Twins can also afford to play him almost exclusively against righties, as he’s hitting them hard this season. Not only does he have a .336 ISO against righties, but he has also walked in 20.7 percent of his PA.

The only doubters are in the White Sox clubhouse

I get the concept. They wanted a DH who could also go first to third, or second to home. Right concept, way wrong execution.

Thome is two dimensional. He hits home runs and walks. Mandruw Kajones can’t do either.

This helps the team how?

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!

Also - holding on the Thome would have kept him from going to a division rival

There’s a lot to like about the White Sox this year. I hope the DH-go-round doesn’t come back to bite them in the ass.

The worst thing about THEM having Thome

is that it means the loss of Morneau hurts less than it would otherwise. He is gone but before there were only 3 spots for Cuddyer, Kubel, Young and Thome. So while the drop off from their best offensive player hurts, and it certainly hurts the defense as well, they are doing a hell of a lot better than replacement level.

I am not one of the sports radio call-in type who think a sports franchise personally owes me something

It is my choice. I can walk away if I don’t like the product. My demands should be treated with exactly the importance they are being treated with (none).

However, the one thing I want more than anything out of this franchise is to concede on the Thome issue. I don’t need an apology. They made a business decision. They had their reasons. But they should now be able to see clearly (and much more clearly than mistakes are usually shown in this game) that their reasons were faulty. And because of this, I just want to see someone, anyone involved in the decision, to eat some crow and admit they got this one wrong.

He already did concede.

KW said he should have done more in the offseason. I think it became obvious to him right away that the situation they had wasn’t enough.

They also traded for Lance Berkman. They wouldn’t have done that if they they had done a good job in filling the DH hole.

1. Can we send down Sale and bring up Threets again. I thought he did a decent job.
2. Since looking on this board it seems like this season is already cooked, can we please find a decent right fielder next year and move Q! to DH. Although I would like to find a more productive DH if available.

2 rebuttals

1. Threets is injured (technically), and Ozzie should just know better than to use Sale in big situations. It’s almost like he gets Sale and Thornton confused.
2. You know Q! will go crazy if he becomes a full-time DH.

one start

Not talking about the rest of the season, I’m just talking about rolling the dice with him (or Torres) for one game so we might be able to get a few more decent starts out of Freddy this year. If we keep throwing Freddy out there every five days, we might end up being stuck with Harrell or Torres for the rest of the year.

Ultimately, there’s a good chance we’ll limp to the finish with a four-man rotation ala 2008 though.
