vs. White Sox 4th of July

[Ori-Al]

Funny how we get screwed by the umps again though. Ramirez was out. And in that last at bat to Dunn, the called strike to Davis was called a ball to Dunn.

But whatever, we deserved to be swept as we scored 8 runs against a terrible team. We aren't going anywhere if we continue to lose to terrible teams.

Also, that's the 2nd time this series Dunn has hit a homer as Buck left in a righty with Matusz warm in the pen. Great job Buck. Make the same mistake 2x in the same series.

True. Hammel was tired and getting the ball up, and should have been lifted. Hunter had just had a nine pitch AB, with several pitches up. We have Matusz for the dangerous lefties - use him!

[Chavez Ravine]

No. We played like the worst team in the AL. Our performance was down right pathetic. They should really be embarrassed. They play like **** game after game against bad teams. Even their win in the series was undeserving and not a well played game. They played like crap against Houston all 3 games. They are 3-3 vs. Minnesota. They are 0-2 vs. SD.

It's not just a coincidence that they seem to play bad against bad teams, something's legitimately wrong.

Are the Yankees a bad team or a good team?

Are the Yankees a bad team or a good team?

They are above .500. They're a good team. Our record against teams under .500 is probably .500 at best. That's pathetic.

Another terrible loss to another terrible team. Nothing new here. We can't beat bad teams and can't score off of bad pitchers.

We are lucky we didn't get swept. We didn't deserve to win a game let alone the series. You don't deserve to win a game when you score a measly 8 runs in a series, and don't deserve to win a game you only score 2 runs in.

Except that we're ten over and crap....

Buck and DD always thinkinthinkinthinkinthinkinthinkinthinkin Chen pitching in Harrisburg tonight. Easy 2 1/2 hour drive to NYC from there.

[FlipCup]

Did not mean to put message.

Except that we're ten over and crap....

We should be at least 15 games over IMO. Way too many bad losses against bad teams and bad pitchers. We have no problem with good teams, but loads of trouble vs. bad teams. That's good news for the playoffs, but if you can't beat bad teams you're probably not making the playoffs.

[scOtt]

Well why does Buck get a pass? 2nd time this happened.

Because you don't throw blame around!!! You protect your teammates and pick them up tomorrow!

Haterz gotta hate.

Completely agree. It's a team game folks. We will come back and bring it back this weekend.

Poor pitch selection. Hanging curve, ballgame. 4.5 back, to Yankee Stadium and you know they want payback.

BRING IT ON Skanks! :angryfire:

Yes, but they want payback, Scott.

When a team wants payback, there is very little chance of beating them.

[scOtt]

In Bucks defense Hunter is the best pitcher in our bullpen right now not a situational dude. People would be complaining if Buck went Tony Larussa this inning and things did not work out.

Bring in JJ for the ninth and the exact thing happened. The board would be a nuclear explosion. Wouldn't THAT be fun! :rolleyestf:

I watched the entire series and the bottom line for me is that Chicago pitched great. They really did. The O's didn't forget how to hit. Sometimes you just have to give credit to the other team. On the bright side, our pitchers did some good things too.

Just move on to New York and take that series. This series ain't the end of the world. Good grief.

We want payback for 14 years of.... 14 years.

I'm AWESOME psyched about Zach right now! Pitching freaking great! Chen doing well almost becomes a problem.
