    Considering that Rizzo is 4 for his last 18, does it make more sense to bring him up while he's in the middle of another tear at Iowa, assuming it doesnt occur the next two nights before the weekend? With his struggles last year at SD, I would rather bring him up when he's hitting well to maximize his chance of success. It's not like the Cubs need to be in a hurry to bring him up.

    Looks like we used up most of our allotment of runs on Monday night...suddenly the White Sox are tough to hit?

    When will the Cubs consider Believeau instead of Maine?
  4. dfnowak
    Sad to say that Volstad is probably a better option.
  5. dfnowak
    Yikes! Peavy with 125 pitches tonight! How long until he's the next Sox starting pitcher on the DL?
  6. dfnowak
    Didn't see what happened. Did Reed make a nice play?
  7. dfnowak
    Is it me or does it seem a little early to be taking LaHair out of the game, especially when he's due up 2nd in the top of the ninth?
  8. dfnowak
    Hopefully, we saved some for tomorrow night.

    I suppose every player has their one insane hater. How is comparing his .551 OPS to a black hole in the lineup considered insane?
  10. dfnowak
    Good to see the Black Hole, otherwise known as Geo Soto, is back in the lineup tonight.

    But, the thing is, Svuem brought in Russell to face the next batter, Kalish - a lefty, anyways. So why not have him ready earlier to face Saltalamacchia? So, Sveum was doing exactly what you said he shouldnt be worried about.

    I understand the bullpen is [expletive]. But, I feel like he doesn't put the team in the best chance to succeed sometimes, with regards to his handling of the bullpen. Case in point, last night Svuem leaves Camp in the game to face Saltalamacchia, who struggles against lefties in his career, instead of bringing in Russell, who wasnt even warmed up yet. And low and behold, Camp serves up the game winning hit. Sveum has done this numerous other times this year, whether that is leaving Russell in to face a lefty-killer or a righty in to face a righty-killer instead of not having the appropriate reliever warmed up and ready. Its like he cant think ahead with the bullpen. I dont know, these are just my observations. Edit - I was wrong about about Saltalamacchia having the game winning hit, but he did single off of Camp to put two runners on with no outs and Kalish drove in the go ahead run next off of Russell.

    Nor does he do a good job of managing the bullpen, IMO.
  14. dfnowak
    You know, he is a lefty killer
  15. dfnowak
    Is it me or does it look like Ron Cey wears a toupee?
  16. dfnowak
    Anyone else here think Chris Sale will blow his arm out at some point, given how the Sox are pitching him, violent delivery and thin frame?
  17. dfnowak
    Nnice to see that great right handed duo of Baker "the lefty killer" and Koyie Hill go a ccombined 0-6 today. Both have been almost automatic outs lately and LaHair and Clevenger couldnt have done worse. So tired of the "right handed" lineup.
  18. dfnowak
    And to add insult to injury, apparently Hawk applauded Wegner earlier in the series for not automatically calling the Sox player out on a potential force out at second since the Rays' ss didnt actually touch the bag while trying to turn a double play. So, according to Hawk, the umpire makes the right call when it benefits the Sox, but makes the wrong call when it goes against them.
  19. dfnowak
    Would have been nice if Wegner also ejected Hawk from the booth
  20. dfnowak
    Hawk might just be the worst broadcaster in the history of baseball
  21. dfnowak
    too bad Moreland is on the call. Why does Pat take the inning off?
  22. dfnowak
    He must be doing it for the White Sox fans
  23. dfnowak
    2 in a row! Can we petition to only play the Padres the rest of this year?
  24. dfnowak
    I'd imagine so. Or keep Camp in the game?
  25. dfnowak
    Who pitches the 9th? Russell?
