Gavin Works, Kubel Goes Deep, While Sox Offense Leaves 'em Loaded

in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintThe focus after tonight's game will probably be on Ozzie's decision to stick with Gavin Floyd deep into the 7th inning even though he was well over his previous career high of 116 pitches. In truth, it's hard to blame Guillen as Floyd was looking pretty strong even as his pitch count reached new heights, striking out the last two batters he retired and getting ahead of Jason Kubel 0-2 on a particularly nasty curveball on pitch #124.
But pitch #125 was one too many. There's no arguing with that. An 0-2 rolling backdoor curve that didn't do a whole lot, that Kubel pushed just far enough to get over the left field wall.
It's easy to sit back and say Ozzie should have handed the ball to Chris Sale; the young lefthander was loose in the pen. But Sale has had the not-ready-for-primetime feel about him in most of his outings. My own thought was that I'd rather take my shot with Floyd, who had pitched very well since he was briefly rattled, balking in a run in the 3rd, than with the unpredictable young lefty.
Sale eventually relieved Floyd and retired all 4 batters he faced. I think he'll be called upon next time a Sox pitcher cracks 115 and it's time for the Second Lefty™. And I'm sure I'll be fine with it by then, but it felt right for Floyd to take ownership of the game. In the end, it didn't matter.
But the real story of the night wasn't about the Sox pitching but their performance with the bases loaded. All told, they went 1-7 with the bases loaded, with only 2 balls leaving the infield. Some credit has to be given to Francisco Liriano, who seemed to find his slider anytime the bases were juiced. But the Sox have to come through with more than one hit there -- even a walk, a hbp, a sac fly, a balk would do. The 5th inning was especially painful, as the Sox loaded the bases with nobody out, had their 3-4-5 hitters coming to the plate, then proceed to go groundout (1-3), K, K.
If not for the well groomed infield that keeps balls close to the line fair, the Sox might have been shutout completely. Their only run came on an A.J. Pierzynski swinging bunt that queued back into fair territory and onto the infield grass up the thirdbase line after it had already touched the line.
The Sox now sit as losers of their last two series and 5 of their last 7 games, while the Twins haven't lost a series since July 19-21 against the Cleveland Indians. Game on. Will the Sox right the ship against the equally struggling Detroit Tigers?
edit by larry: Viciedo sent down, Teahen up tomorrow.

Sat in right field, got so frustrated with bases-loaded madness
Thought leaving Floyd in could go either way, looked good for 2 pitches, the 3rd pitch well whatever.
Just do work against Detroit this weekend. May go again Sunday afternoon.
I see it's "no criminal record" night at the ballpark -- billyok before a game against the A's
I have witnessed the 2005 World Series championship, Mark Buehrle's perfect game, and the 2010 Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup championship in my lifetime.

Beltran Thoughts
He did clear waivers, and getting him means paulie is gone after this year, but don’t we need a spot for Tank and Flowers at 1b?
next year we still have rios, beltran, pierre in of with quentin as DH.
We need another hitter and this guy is one of the best all around when healthy.
I just don’t like the fact we have a shot at the playoffs and honestly we stand no chance of beating 3 good starters with a lineup this weak.

if they were gunna let floyd face kubel
they shoulda just let him face mauer. kubel kills us worse than mauer does. I called the kubel dinger though. floyd deserved it thoguh with his terrible 3rd inning. wild pitch and a balk. get the head out of your rear gavin.
the offense was terrible. Liriano wasn’t very good tonight but we couldn’t knock him out. the closest was the viciedo shot to center… and now we sent him down for teahen. good lord. the ozzie august swoon of dump is upon us.

It was Kong's 1-2-3 strikeout that hurt the worst though.
Come on, even Viciedo took a few pitches when the bags were loaded.

This team
had August swoons against the Twins before Ozzie though.
I’m not saying the White Sox do well in August under Ozzie by any means, but they also went 17-11 in ’08.
They were 67-53 at this point two years ago and tied with Minny for the division lead. Look, they can’t pitch. We can’t hit. It’s a dog fight for sure, but it would have been nice if we’d gotten fucking crowds there with some energy.

I don't mean it like I'm giving up
But at this point I don’t think we are 1 waiver wire deal from becoming better a “better” team than the Twins. But we all know the better team doesn’t always win. We need something above and beyond to happen again. Happened once, hopefully it will again. Possible solutions
1) Q hits on the road like at home
2) Unreal starting pitching run again
3) Twin slump
4) 4 or 5 of 6 from the Twins h2h
5) Jackson runs the table on his feeble opponents (Already saw how losing one to Baltimore hurts)
6) Texas pummels Minn- & Boston doesn’t pummel us (preferably the Red Sox fall out of the wild card hunt)
7) Rios reawakes.
8) Beckham goes to another level
9) Morneau remains out or performs poorly the rest of the year.
A couple of these together could help do the trick.

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

1 game out is no big deal
just can’t help to think that the Sox need to win 4 out of last 6 vs. Minny. Maybe it is not necessary if you mop up on other teams, but I’m just getting this 2003 White Sox feeling.

Related to drunk driving.. and how it became my gig around here
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=lc-stallworthsecondchance081210
For those who are new.. my defense of Stallworth’s punishment being fair is what led to my reputation as a supporter of drunk driving.
Over and over, members of Stallworth’s elite team of attorneys shouted at him to fight the charges. They said there was no way to prove who was at fault. Reyes, after all, dashed across a busy freeway to catch a bus near a green light that rarely turns red. There was other evidence, never released to the public, Boucher said, that the lawyers wanted to give that would aid Stallworth’s case. Still he said no.
"The irony," said one of Stallworth’s attorneys, David Cornwell, "is that a lot of the media and public was angry with the deal that he took. And the thing they wanted, for him to go to trial, was the thing he was trying to avoid for the family."

A frustrating loss, to be sure
But….the Sox have to keep it close. Stay within a game and a half through the end. Gardy’s teams tend to Pucker big time if they haven’t put the division away in the final week.

Next 11 games we play the Twins 3x, and Tigers/Royals 8×. Go 7-4 in those games and you’re at 16 games over at the highwater mark for the season. Crisis averted.

Funny story
So it’s “welcome to school” night at our daughter’s pre-K last night. I meet the wife and our 14 kids (OK, just 3, but until a couple of days ago, they were all under 4 years old) at the school. Our daughter is playing with this similarly-aged girl who is going to be in her class. Her mother is there — very attractive, very nice, and very well-dressed (my wife specifically admired her “cuff” [whatever that is]). We say hello and chat for a second, and then mosey on to a more secluded spot so the boys can eat. I see the presumable dad join the mom and kid at some point. He’s reasonably tall and kind of not-fat-big and dressed very casually like he just came off the golf course, but they are halfway across the schoolyard, so I don’t really notice anything.
After the event, we go to the only edible Mexican place in the area (note, however: I grew up in Texas and lived in Chicago for ten years, so my opinion of what constitutes decent Mexican food may be a bit skewed). As we’re waiting for a table, the girl and her mother walk in behind us. We start chatting — her daughter is shy; let’s just say that strangers don’t really need candy with our daughter. A minute or two later, the dad walks in. He smiles and introduces himself as “Brian.” I introduce myself, and then blurt out: “Hey, aren’t you Brian Griese?” He gets this (I think) annoyed smile and says that he is.
So we chat for 5 minutes or so until the tables are ready. He says that he’s doing college games and radio for the local pro team, and they start talking about my wife’s job (much more interesting than mine, though I am somewhat offended that no one even asked what I did). He seems really enthusiastic about his charity, which I suspect is why they picked here to live. They got a kick out of the fact that our daughter was so gung-ho about football (by far her favorite sport). I’m about to say that it’s a shame because we can (and do) take her to baseball and basketball games, but can’t afford to go to a ticket broker for the always-sold-out football games, but I realize that he’ll think I’m trying to hit him up for tickets, so I bite my tongue.
In any event, I did some e-stalking when I got home. This uncovered a few things: First, their house is approximately 10x more valuable than ours. Second, his wife is very impressive (professionally and educationally speaking). Third, he actually had a pretty decent NFL career — I mostly just remember him being an ineffective back-up in Chicago.

You apparently don't have children.
I think my daughter did the exact same thing the last time we were at a pool. That may even be her for all I know.
My favorite was at her birthday party last weekend. The kids were swimming in a big inflatable pool (I’m talking 12’ in diameter, and close to 3 feet deep). This one kid asked me to throw him into the pool. I cleared it with his mother and did. I underestimated how shallow 3’ really is. He stood up moaning about how his tailbone hurt. Then he immediately asked me to do it again. I wasn’t sure whether my homeowners’ policy would cover 70+ years of care for a paraplegic, so I declined.

In my case it doesn't seem to get any safer once they are out of the house
About a year ago, my daughter was taking the bus home from her K class and must have been sitting on the edge of the seat. The bus hit a bump or made a quick turn and she flew backwards and hit the back of her head on one of those bolts that attaches the seat to the floor of the bus. It gashed her head and the bus drivers seeing all the blood told dispatch to call an ambulance. I met my wife at the ER where I saw my daughter head all bandaged and her uniform was covered in blood…I hope I never have to go through that again

The homer was just icing on the cake. Its not like there was much air left to suck out of the balloon after all those bases loaded outs. It was a really sucky night at the old ball park.
When Oz left Gavin in I was currently subtracting 8 from his pitch count. If Thorton is up and not Sale he may have made the move IMO.

I tip my hat to bullpen coach Juan Nieves, who was nice enough to have Santos and Pena sign a ball for a kid.
That was probably the highlight of my evening, considering the quality of play last night.
Oh, and Linestink did peak his head out once to observe a couple of costumed bobble-head guys up in the Pontiac deck. What a douche…along with the douche of a fat security guard who’s job is to wave fans away from the railing so as not to disturb the pitchers while they warm up.

In the Middle Ages it was believed that when a person was writing with their left hand they were possessed by the Devil. (This was uncommon, particularly as there were fewer literate people). Left-handed people were therefore considered to be evil. Hence, the most common present-day meanings of the word Sinister….

but I wanted to thank all you at SSS for making these past 4 months more bearable while I was sucking on the gov’t teat…since I was 15 I have never gone more than a month without employment and to be rejected over and over during this time was soul-murdering for me…this place has been my escape from the troubles even during that shit rooster called May

Your head is re-entering your ass.
No thanks needed. You gave as good as you got. Now STFU and go earn a living.

Its sort of a chess match right now but some upgrades are still possible with very little cost except money.

eventually, Yes
Excellent career batting average, plus nearly 450hr’s and no steroid accusations. The fact that he spent his entire career with the Braves organization doesn’t hurt his cause either.

because he is.
look at his production. compare it to every other position player to ever play. he’s one of the top 50 most productive.
I thought so too
but I figured I might be tainted from living in Ga. for almost a decade.
maybe the question should have been 1st ballot?
