6/28 Cubs (Gallagher) @ WhiteSox (Vasquez) 2:55 CT Fox

[UMFan83]

I know I shouldn't blame this entire debacle on Lou's decision to give Gallagher a 9 day break in between starters, but the man was dealing before this start. He doesn't look nearly as crisp or even as confident as he was in previous starts.

He has to keep Sean in, the pen is shot. We need 6 out of SG today.

A really ugly six.

[BigSlick]

I was dreading the blowout, but the heartbreaking back and fourth loss this is almost inevitably going to be is going to suck even worse.

I'm not saying its going to happen, but a masochist inside of me is imagining a walk off vs. Wood after a HBP

[Roast]

"my message to him was you've got to throw teh breaking ball in the dirt"

 

Haha, that's not quite what he said

If he stops giving up runs, sure, but the W is the most important thing. If we have to go to the pen again (unfortunately), we have to do it if we can get the win.

It's inevitable, and Alexei Ramirez will hit it. The spirit of Rob Mackowiack lives on.

There were some points in that conversation where he momentarily paused where he would normally slip in some choice words. That was amusing.

I just vomited a little thinking of that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierzynski walked

[UMFan83]

It feels like every hitter in the White Sox lineup can nail a HR at any point.

[Schwarber Fan]

Uh oh...

[Roast]

Ah hell.

 

Okay, how about some more runs? plz?

[inari]

Oh man, I really thought Fontenot didn't have a beat on that.

[BCVM22]

Runs please.

[Outshined_One]

God hates us with these commercials.

[JoshiQ]

Anybody else getting annoyed with our outfield not calling off the infielders on deep pop-ups? This has happened like 3-4 times in the last couple of games. The outfielder can easily make the catch coming forward, but the infielder ends up having to turn his whole body around and just barely makes the catch.

 

It's something that is taught in little league. The outfielder calls off the infielder! It's an easier catch that way!

[Little Slide Rooter]

How to give up a home run to a guy who looks like hes been dead for 8 months?

[TMan92]

We are about a foot from having a 7-5 lead on Soto's line drive. If Vasquez is still in we score some more this inning.

[hawkeyecub]

Alright this should be Vazquez last inning and the we're seeing him really well.

[rickrolled]

this game is pissing me off
