End of a Quick Homestand

I need to view the Mark/heater encounter. Where???

Maybe that is what Uribe's bat needed - CONTACT!

That's the most use Uribe's bat has had since the season started.

That's the most use Uribe's bat has had since the season began.

Sorry, the website geeked out and I thought my comments didn't post.

Well, at least Uribe's bat is NOW smoking hot?? :)

Swisher in center field the whole year would be brutal. It does not always show up in a couple of games but then games occur that show that the arm, the range is at the bottom of center fielders and that costs games. Truth is the sox are not fitting up real well with their players, and the positions they play, ex the sox have 3 guys that play a better center field then Swisher but cannot get them in the lineup. Yet Swish is hitting below 200 , yet no way he sits with what the sox gave up that would not happen be too much like oh I might have made a mistake. And I think energy wise Swish is a great addition he will hit , I think. But he should not be in center field, again the sox are somewhat confusing as a team with the players that they have available and who plays.

And of course, Carlos was a huge pick up, so I am not saying everything is bad about moves, Just pointing out all is not good either.

THe frustration level with the ball club is getting to the boiling point... But it would help tremendously if the bats could be used on the opposing pitches, instead of inanimate objects...
What I'm saying is a blowout game, kind of like the one the North Siders had against the Brewers, would be, perhaps, the tonic that ails the boys... especially since they are going to their least favorite locations to play the last few years...
Seattle, Anaheim and the other end of the Bay Bridge, San Francisco...
There is nothing wrong that good, solid, consistent play won't cure...
By the way, Mark...What is with the formality all of a sudden?... If I wrote anything that upset you, I apologize...maybe MY priorities should be re-analyzed...But I haven't been called "Thomas" that much since my days with the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, back in grammar school...

And a thank you to Mike Downey, whose work I have always enjoyed, and to Kevin Hench at foxsports.com, for putting things into the proper perspective...

If only Robert Feder's radio/TV column would move over to Michigan Avenue... I might become a steady reader of the broadsheet(that's a NEWSPAPER term for a form of style, NOT a comment on what occured in Toronto...)...

Buehrle did put some life into Juan's bat.

amazing! the twins looked like.... well.. us in the eighth.... amazing. we took a series.... yeah. let's don't stop now... on to seattle..... tomorrow folks... j.k.

Nice to get a win today after that disaster yesterday. 99% of the time I can not stand Juan Uribe, but he gave the Sox a big lift today. Not just the 2 run homer (our first non solo shot in over 2 weeks), but taking a walk on 4 pitches and breaking up that double play in the bottom of the eight was effort we have not seen lately. Absolutely gotta love that! The Twins 3rd baseman made a soft throw that gave him the opportunity to break it up, and he took advantage. Maybe Buerhle beat some life into Uribe last night?

A nice 2 innings also from Dotel, but he needs to keep that up. He seems to follow up every good outing with a bad outing.

BREAKING NEWS: Toby Hall threw out a baserunner today!

In the top of the 5th Wasserman was up in the bullpen with us down 2-0. I thought maybe Ozzie was giving up already. I mean would you put a guy with a 32.40 ERA in during a 2 run game? For a guy who did a pretty good job up here last year, Wasserman sure has stunk so far this year. In 5 appearances he has given up more earned runs (6) than he has gotten outs (5). I sure hope he gets this turned around.

Pay not attention to Wasserman's ERA. ERA's after just a few short relief appearances mean nothing. Give him some time before judging his 2008 season.

Uribe had the game of his career , he did it all. Good for him not that I respect his game over the course of 160 games, it would be great if uribe did it all, all year. If Thome really worked on hitting to left , ground balls, he could maybe get a lot of hits, make the clubs not put on the switch as it stands the switch is running him out of baseball along with the strike outs. Just by bunting you bring the corners in and get a lot of extra hits by drawn in corners so thome should hit to left then if the teams abandoned the switch, his pulled balls would go for hits a lot more, it is that time in his career to make that adjustment, my opinion.

Since I am often critical on the team when they are lousy (which has been a ton since July 2006) it is only fair to point out some positive things and there were two this afternoon.

Both were huge in my opinion and neither one involved trying to hit an eight run, 800 foot home run.

In the last of the 8th of a 4-2 game, still winnable by the Twins, the Sox had the bases loaded, one out, Tody Hall at the plate. Hall hits a taylor made DP but Juan Uribe takes out the pivot guy enabling the slowest man on Earth to get to first base, run scores, inning continues.

Then Alexi Ramirez runs hard all the way to first and when Justin Morneau drops the ball, he is safe, another run scores and the inning continues.

Two small, little things that basically put the game away. Kudos to both players....now if only the Sox could steal some bases, pressure the opposition, hit to the opposite field and bunt, then maybe we'd have something.

Notice however that this does not in any way excuse still another blown chance to break the game open with a hit. Bases loaded, one out and Hall does EXACTLY what the Twins want him to do, pound a sinker into the ground for what should have been an inning ending DP. Hall was ahead in the count as well, if memory serves, against a pitcher who had already walked a few guys in the frame.

Sometimes I honestly wonder about the baseball intelligence of the White Sox. Either they simply are "dumb" (by baseball standards mind you), or these coaches simply are doing a poor job of teaching the game and fundamentals (despite what Ozzie says every year he's going to stress in spring training.)

We'll see what happens over the weekend in a park that's difficult to hit home runs in.

Mark Liptak

Tom:

I'll tell you what, if you'll start calling me Mark or Lip instead of Brother Liptak, I'll stop calling you Thomas.

Deal?

Mark Liptak

Hey Mark, weren't there 3 stolen bases today? Even Thome got one. First time since 2002!

Marie

It was very nice to see some glances of fundamental baseball in today's game. Wouldn't it be amazing to see what this team could do if they start firing on all cylinders? The stolen bases where nice to see, as was Uribe's breakup, but once again we failed miserably with runners in scoring position. Second and third with no outs and we scored zero runs. Bases loaded one out, and we would have had zero runs again had the Twins not given us the last two runs.

Pitching was once again great. That's the best stuff I've seen from Dotel so far. Bobby's pitching actually looked a little off to me. That curve is still not biting like it should. Hopefully he gets better as he goes along, just like he does every season.

-Scam

Lip: You have a deal, sir... and I agree with your assessment concerning the lack of intelligence that some of these players display for the simplest of tasks... it's as if you have to keep drilling them, even though you thought that they had it the first few hundred times you ran through it...
I stand corrected with something I thought I saw in yesterday's game... concerning the double steal... I thought it was Konerko and Thome on the bases, forgetting that Paulie was at bat, and it was Quentin and Thome on the bases... Now, if Konerko and Thome were the duo doing the thefts, I wouldn't have blamed Scott Ullger(managing because Gardenhire had been ejected earlier)if he walked out of the dugout and took all the Twins back to the clubhouse, out of sheer embarrassment...
As to what Uribe did... THAT was baseball the way I saw it played growing up... hard, but clean...
Doggone it, Joe Cowley...You had to go and write the sidebar column that you did today in the S-T that made me think you're not such a bad sort anyway... (Inside Pitch/Perspective, please... Page 73...)and my best to the better half on the upcoming blessed event...
And finally, to Maria, Dawn, Mommy Mac, Pat Klein, Amy Reifert, Lisa and all the other mothers in White Sox Universe... My wish for you is for a peaceful, serene and Happy Mother's Day... all of you deserve it...

i just watched the archived game from last night and wanted to compliment BA for the excellant catch in the fourth inning. i think only Rowand is able to make that play, so give the kid another start Ozzie, he is busting his butt out there and his bat isn't a liability... thanks TQ for the Mother's day wishes for Pat,,,,, let's make it two in a row in seattle.. j.k.

Hooray! We came away with a W.

I'll take em any way I can get em.

Thanks TQ for the Mother's Day wish.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms in White Sox Universe.

A big thank you from out here on the left coast to TQ for the Mother's Day wishes, and to the Sox for the Mother's Day pink goatees.

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Moms in White Sox Universe!
Cheers, Peggy

The recipe for success?
Easy... Quality pitching, solid defense and juuuuussssttt enough offense to get you over the hump...

Mix it all up in one big mish-mosh, and what have you got?

A good start to a long road trip...and a streak of three wins in the last four games...

That's hard to beat... even with a stick...(old joke there, but then again... the teller is pretty old hisself...)

I'm almost certain that Mark will agree with that assessment...
Almost, that is...

Thanks for the wishes TQ and all the rest! Right back at all of you on the Mother's Day wishes!! A White Sox sweep--on the west coast even-would be a great MD gift! Ok, I'll settle for a series win. You all know I've always been a BA fan--what a catch by my boy!! Nice to see Ozzie shaking things up a little. Very nice!

thankfully the Mariners are hitting worse than the sox are at the moment.

hey mommy mac, looks like BA gave you another mothers day gift tonight! Hope you liked it! Have a great day all you moms - I know I will be enjoying it with my two kids!

Marie

I award the bone head of the year award to the Mariners. Getting picked off on a 3-1 count to a guy who has hit as many as 48 homers in a season and has one already today is the most ridiculous plays i have ever seen. Usually those are reserved for the white sox to make. I can't believe Ichiro tried to score even though Bloomquist was safe at second. nice throw by Uribe.

Another nice win tonight, now let's get the sweep tomorrow!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's in White Sox Universe! Enjoy your day!

Hey I got my mother's day wish!! And how about BA, Marie. He is going to make it hard on Ozzie to keep him out of the lineup. Thanks again everyone for the wishes and enjoy the day--rainy or not. And especially to Mrs Jim D happy first mother's day, congrats to you guys on the little girl!

If memory serves this was Floyd's first really poor outing of the season. It will be interesting to see how he reacts to it with his next start.

Mark Liptakl

Someone named Nick Adenhart goes for the Angels Monday night. He's pitched in two games with an 11 and a half ERA. Anyone know anything about him?

Mark LIptak

Sox take two of three on the road in seattle. not bad...hopefully we can split with the angels and take 2-3 from san fran. i think it is possible. At least against the giants we will have the pitcher hitting instead of our "dh" thome who is absolutely brutal. someone needs to kick this guy to the curb.

anyway, liptak whats the deal the sox win 2 games and you don't have anything to say now that they lost one you leave multiple messages. i am starting to think youre a cubs fan!

Nice to get 2 of 3 in any series, but we were set up to go sweep them in the first 2 innings and just could not get the hits to open the game up early.

Mark - as for Nick Adenhart, he has only had two starts, longest being 4.1 innings. Here is the kicker though - he has a 3.00 WHIP. So my guess is we will load the bases every inning, and not score any runs.

If Adenhart is as bad as his numbers and the Sox haven't seen him yet, well, we all know what that means.

Come on guys...Have a lil' faith!!!!!

Not EVERY no namer has beaten us!!! I think we can ger to Adenhart early and send him packing by the 4th....(fingers crossed).

Lisa

I hope I'm wrong, but the Sox have proven time and time again that they do not handle no-namers well. Lip has repeatedly given us the numbers.

I just hope I can stay up long enough to watch.
A 9 p.m. start............Brutal!

Lisa

It seems that every day we read posts on this board complaining about Thome. Today, it is Kenwo that wants to "kick him to the curb."

Interestingly enough, if you project Thome's current numbers (7 HR, 22 RBI) over a full season, he would finish with 31 homers and 99 RBI.

Now, at the end of the year, if the Sox "kicked to the curb" a player who produced those numbers you would all be screaming for Kenny's head.

Obviously Thome is the type of player that draws very high expectations from fans. And, since he undoubtedly will be a first ballot Hall of Famer, that may be understandable.

But I would never discount what he could do for a team if he gets hot.

TC - Don't forget the projected 175 strikeouts, 236 total bases (lowest since 1994 of a non-injury shortened season) and the 0 sac flies that he is on pace for. Also he is headed towards the lowest slugging percentage, lowest OBP, and lowest OPS in a non-injury shortened seasson since 1992.

Don't get me wrong I like Jim Thome, but he should be a part time player. Use Konerko at DH against lefties, or even use AJ on days when Hall is catching if AJ is hitting well.

Sometimes what you hit is not as important as when you hit it. Maybe that is what is bothering some people about Thome. I know he single handedly won 1 game this season, but sometimes that is not enough.

Kenwo:

By the time the Friday and Saturday night games were over I had better things to do then go on a message board. Sleeping for one thing.

Mark Liptak

The problem is for a guy hitting in the 3 hole he should be performing so much better. The 3 spot in the order is traditionally the guy who hits the highest average as well as produces runs. If he were not in the 3 spot I think that would make people more willing to accept his faults. I know personally, I would be more willing to see him in the lineup if he were hitting 6th or 7th. It's hard to say who should be #3 because of the funk everyone is in, but I would give JD or Quentin a shot.

Kenwo,

Of course Thome's numbers are going down. He is getting older and is at the tail end of a great career. I agree with Jim, I would rather have someone hitting in the 3-spot that hits for a better average.

As far as platooning at the DH with Konerko, the question remains who will play first if Paulie is DH'ing. Whoever it is will be a huge step down in defense. Swisher is nowhere near the first baseman that Konerko is.

And when AJ doesn't catch is when AJ is supposed to be resting. DH'ing him, while not nearly as strenuous as catching, does defeat the purpose a little bit.

lisa and kenwo... It could be a lot worse... I can remember when games on the left coast started at 8 PM...PACIFIC TIME... Kick in two hours coming back here and that made it...(gulp!) 10 PM Central time... and a game which would normally run two to two and a half hours... would make the ending time close to 1 AM...(yawn!!!)... and I also vividly recall some of the classic Sox-Oakland matchups which seemed to go on and on AND ON AND ON... Back then, the American League only had a curfew...which meant that no inning could start after 1 AM, local time...If the boys were on the Coast, that meant (son of YAWN!!!)3 AM Central time...and a couple of times, the Sox and A's hit that time limit and had to be suspended...
However, I was there at my radio, keeping track of everything... somehow...

TC - Those were my stats. I don't support Kenwo in saying kick him to the curb, but I would sure want to kick him down in the order. Who knows, maybe it lights fire under his butt, and he ends up having a good year instead of continuing to free fall.

As for AJ, he has the second best batting average on the team, and is hitting .280 against lefties. I know a day off for a catcher is valuable, but I don't think AJ would turn down the at bats.

Thome's numbers may be going down but I would consider it a long way from a "freefall."

With regards to AJ, I would be extremely careful with him. He is the only legitimate "everyday" catcher on the club and he has to be prepared to go the whole season. I am usually not overcautious with anyone as my belief is that big leaguers should be prepared to play at all times, but in AJ's case I would lean to the more cautious side.

I have nothing against moving him down in the order but the Sox are limited when it comes to LH bats and Ozzie hates to send a string of four or five straight RH bats to the plate in the middle of the order.

Did I read correct that Thome hit an RBI single to LEFT?! I also see it was a broken bat single, does that mean he tried to yank it to right and it went off the end of the bat/or was he jammed trying to hit it out? Or was this an actual honest to God attempt to hit it to Left?

I agree, he should NOT be hitting 3rd, simply switch him and Dye...or put Swisher in 5 with Thome 6...maybe that'll get Swisher some better pitches and kick Thome into gear?? Who knows, all I believe is something needs to happen...order change, trade, firing, another blow-up (either Ozzie or dolls! haha) anything to light a fire in this offense. How about so-called Ozzie ball again? Force the hitters to stop thinking long ball and concentrate on moving the runners. Ozzie's job is to try, try and try again. Who cares if Thome has 514, he can lay a bunt down the 3B line and get an RBI double these days!

Interesting stat regarding Jim... I recently saw this and I hope I've remembered it correctly. Apparently Jim is now 3-29 against relief pitchers so far this season with 19 strikeouts.

Mark Liptak

Mark, that stat sounds about right. I know that whenever Jim comes up late I EXPECT him to strike out. I agree with Peggy that we won't have to see Thome in San Fran, who knows maybe one of our pitchers won't strike out and it will be a minor blow for our side. I watch a lot of the D-Backs and they pinch hit with one of their pitchers! Micah Owings is good. Reminds me of watching Gary Peters hit...

And that's another Great thing about being out here. Games in Chicago start at 5:11 and ones on the coast start at the proper hour of 7. Leaves time for other endeavors after the game. Plus it doesn't rain every other day, plus no hurricaines or snow storms or twisters or floods.... Paridise!!!!! Did i mention i was selling my house? see you all later tonight folks..... j.k. (tucson, no daylight savings so we're on anaheim time).....

Couple of quick things:

1. I think it was too cold for Floyd. He was lacking a curveball.

2. Buehrle lives and dies on location. When he doesn't hit his spots, it is easy to hit off of him. Hopefully his funk ends tonight.

3. Is Cabrera back? He boosted his average 21 points yesterday.

OK back to studying now.

Are any major league " managers" actually managing anymore in the American League? Is it even possible with the multi millionare ball players and the tiny roosters? I think managing should be part of a baseball game, that appears to be not the case as baseball stands right now. The manager is just a cheerleader and P.R. guy. Because if for instance Ozzie was managing the game for sure Thome would not have hit when seattle brought rhodes into the game. Ozzie was done and the sox were done, thome K, walk Paul K. face another lefty A. J. and good by sox. What a missed opportunity 5-3 with runners in scoring position , heart of the order up late in the game. It was as if we, being the Sox just said, we do not care about this particular game. I do not tolerate that approach , sorry no excuses , everyone could see the hand writing on the wall, and I am sure Ozzie saw it but no action that tells me that Ozzie is afraid to make moves, not good. Players need to be told up front, that moves will be made and not take it personal or if they do take it personal move them on to young guys that will not complain. I about blew a gasket when thome was not removed in that spot. Yet I waited to post not wanting to over react.

If he is on pace for 31 and 99 it will be the softest 31 and 99 of all time history. If it wasn't for Quentin, Dye , Crede and AJ (mostly Quentin as of late)......this team would be the worst offense in the league. It seems like any time 3 and 4 are due up you aren't going to score. We are better off with 7-8-9 coming up.

It is official....hawk is a ****** bag. How can he blame Uribe, who made a nice play up the middle but lost his footing resulting in men on 1st and 2nd keep saying that Uribe should have made the play blah blah blah...the previous batter hit a simple ground ball to short, a play that was 10 times easier than Uribe's and he didn't say anything about it.

Meanwhile this Buehrle cat is brutal. I knew it wasn't a good idea to give him a contract last year. This guy can't pitch over a mistake to save his soul, plus, the thing that really irks me is the sox score 3 runs in the 2nd and he gives 2 of them right back in the bottom of the second. This is why I hated david wells when he came to us. everytime we scored he gave the runs right back. This has to stop. He is the worst pitcher on the staff and is getting paid the most money. I would have rather kept Garland

Watching two major league teams but it is not baseball that I am watching , its a home run hitting contest or who can hit into the most double plays and strike out the most, who can not make any moves that are obvious managing like why let vlad beat you? Not fun,

no need to continue watching (even though it's only 9:18). I don't think Wassermann is the answer. And unfortunatelly, whenever there is an error from our vaunted defense, a couple of runs score. Buehrle will be OK later this year, but it sure ticks me off to have a lead and give it up...... As kenwo (i think it was him) said, the pitchers will try to toss shut outs due to the lack of offense.... let's turn it around after two losses in a row and take it to the angels tomorrow.... j.k.

Oh geez. hawk is talking about the sox finding their rhythm...... he has been talking about that since the summer of 2006. "someone is going to pay when we get into a rhythm." In the year 2015 we will unleash hell on the AL, until then we will suck.

then i read this article about the sox being "fiscally responsible with their first round pick". that means they are going to take a guy that should be picked later than where he will be and we will let a few future hall of famers slide by. great news.

I am getting like Liptak with all of my posts...but for god sakes would AJ swing in the 9th? The jerk is the tying run at the plate and he takes all 3 strikes? Why bring a bat you bum! My god at least swing the fricking bat and give it an effort. To take three in a row he should be heavily fined in kangaroo court. Awful.

What, the catcher didn't drop the third strike? That's what I was hoping for :-)

Better luck tomorrow night!

Konerko and Thome are brutal, they need to try to hang onto Crede. And yes, Hawk is a *********, grade A. I will give the team this, they don't totally fold up when they're getting blown out like last year, yet we're still finding ways to drop the games we need to win. Hope these guys prove me wrong with this series against the Angels. And with AJ standing there and taking three, saw a lot of that crap last year. it got old.

I didn't hear the Hawk comment, but i get the gist of it from what you all are saying. But, the angels announcers were talking about Buehrle and his lack of run support and the penchant for our defense to dissapear whenever he pitches, and they said that Juan should have made that play and turned two. Before that Cabrera should have made his play and Joe should have thrown out Matthews. By the Angels announcers own account, we were cost three runs by our defense. I know that Hawk can be "edgy" at times, but the opposition people were saying the same thing too. ...... This just for whatever it's worth..... j.k. We need to win tonight.

Well, at least we all know that Kenwo will not have to visit his eye doctor soon. Since he has such perfect "20-20" hindsight vision. This was his post last July after Buerhle agreed to his contract extension . . . . . .

like i said on the last posting- its about time and shouldnt even have been an issue. why do we have to thank them? it is a no brainer. NOW SIGN GARLAND BEFORE ALL THIS B.S. HAPPENS AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

I must admit, though, he has more than just good hindsight vision. He has some great "Uribe" vision.

I think these thoughts today, hours after another Anaheim headache...

1) There is something REALLY wrong with Buehrle(NO KIDDING???)... but I can't seem to figure out exactly what it is? Is it physical? Is it mental? Is it a combination?...Or has he just run out of gas after providing the White Sox with all those innings in all those starts in the past few seasons, when he was the ace of the staff?

2)Before anyone starts their Mariotti-like criticism of Ken Harrelson,they should have the opportunity, like jk, to pick up the broadcasts and/or the telecasts from the OTHER perspective... that is, the other team's broadcasters and telecasters... here what THEY have to say, and how they may describe a/o "slant" their coverage...or would you rather have the old style like Harry Caray... who swung one of the largest hatchets in the history of broadcasting, and who didn't care who he ripped...or, when things were going well, whom he praised... He was a "real fan",alright...
My foot...
3) There must have been some sort of gremlin afoot yesterday in the keyboards of both jk and d leun... Otherwise, we'd have never found out where jk's "paridise" was... or how d leun feels about "... multi-millionaire ballplayers and tiny ROOSTERS..."
But , the again, how can I "capon" knocking their feelings?
(Get it?, "capon", little rooster?... Don't be chicken, folks...Let me know...)

TQ..... UGH!!! j.k.

JK - Thanks for the input from the Angles announcers. It's always nice to get the commentary and judgements from the non-hometown view.

As for Buehrle we have seen this before. He goes through funks where he gets hit hard and often. It's the kind of pitcher he is. He pitches to the bat. He invites contact to make outs. The problem is when he does not locate his pitches those outs turn into hits. He will get it turned around as he always does when he goes into one of these funks. We just have to hope it happens sooner rather than later.

I just hope he is not gonna be that guy that the defense does not support. It seems like no matter the team or the year there is always one pitcher who is snakebitten by either no run support or a lack of defense behind him. Mark can not afford to be that guy because of the way he pitches for contact.

AJ striking out looking last night to end the game was pitiful. He saw the same pitch 5 straight times, and took 3 of them for strikes. Going into that at bat he was 2 - 6 against Rodriguez. With Swisher behind him at a solid 0 - 9 lifetime against K-Rod with 6 K's we need a hit from AJ not a walk to set up a bases loaded strikeout from Swisher.

yea I made a typo, roster not rooster, but I did not do it on a national stage, Ozzie is in a hugh manager's slump and that is on a national stage. Also Mark B. should have had enough experience to walk vlad even if ozzie did not make the decision that with first base open. Ozzie brags about his and all the latins growing up playing baseball and knowing baseball inside and out yet this team does not bunt, does not move runners up, does not pinch hit when it is obvious. The sox need two more additions to the lineup to intersperse contact hitters with the rest of the lineup, that know how to move runners up, bunt and put he ball in play. and no I do not call this blog a national stage. and tomquaid be careful knocking other people's posts unless you want some well leveled critiques of your own so called posts.

My posts are not for everyone to understand , thanks for trying.

SIGH............

dleeun is harder to understand than ozzie is.

What a great sentence , keno.

that was scarry, but we still have a chance.. too bad Danks won't win it. he pitched well... good job by O Do-tel... j.k.

I think it is safe to say Jered Weaver OWNS the Sox. After his 7 shutout innings tonight he has allowed 1 run and 11 hits in 18.2 innings pitched against the Sox over 3 games so far in his young career. That comes out to a 0.48 ERA.
