McBride was shaky I'm looking forward to the game today because I like what I'm hearing. little clues here and there like Robertson sdaying on pre-game "i'm trying to do too much" like attempting to keep the ball away from the hitter instead of attempting to get the guy to swing at something that has got a little movement to it at the plate. that is the Art of Pitching. now I heard last night Bondo sez he plans to do better in today's outing & I'm looking for ward to it cuz right now I have a good feeling about this and that is that hopefully our pitching staff is recognizing that attempting to keep the ball away from the hitter is gonna land you with a 3-0 count and then a home run inducing the hitter to swing is key and ya do that the pitch NEEDS tio have some LATE MOVEMENT on it unless ya wanna get pounded. It's a tall order I know buty hey -- we are playing MLB-- right? this is just modern baseball: you have to out-score your opponent. we didn’t do that and the credit goes to shields

He dropped a pop-up that allowed the go-ahead run to score before AJ tied it on the HR in the 12th. Kazmir very well could strike out 10 and be at 80 pitches through 6 innings. That's what scares me. Especially with a lineup that will probably have Infante and Monroe with Raburn scattered in there and Sheff probably taking the day game after a night game off.

This team is schizoid. Not much emotion. Very bothersome. One step forward, two steps back. It's as if they can't stand success. One run. This team is schizoid. Not much emotion. Very bothersome.

The White Sox were down 4-3 in the 12th and AJ hit a HR off Borowski to tie it, then Uribe hit a 2R HR to win it in the 13th to win 6-4...glad I stayed up to watch it now!

That was one economical BOO in my book. I’ll defend my boos, billfer.
