    ARE YOU F****ING KIDDING ME!

    I guess giving up grand slams on the first pitch is becoming Qualls' MO... I'm never trusting him in that situation again (at least not against the White Sox).

    Qualls is a f-ing chump! We're going to lose this game as well I guess.

    Garner I think was a little too quick to pull the plug on Buchholz there. I would have like to see him battle through that. It couldn't have been any worse than what Qualls did jeez.

    Meatball Qualls sucks. He needs to go down on the depth chart. Borkowski needs to move up.

    If you haven't noticed by now, Qualls is severely lacking when it comes to the "clutch" factor. He's got good stuff but if you bring him into to a crucial situation at least half the time he seems to blow it.

    I agree 100%. He only pitched 77 pitches. He dominated the whole game. That bloop hit was a joke. Someone should have caught that.

    They have to score off of Riske...this guy sucks bad.
    The fact that Riske is in this game shows how bad the WSox pen has gotten.

    This team can never have the starters, bats and bullpen working at the same time it seems.

    This game is over. We might as well start looking to the next series. No matter how hard we try...we are not going to win a game against the Sox. It's just pre-ordained that way. Even if Oswalt pitches well next game and we have a lead...the bullpen will find a way to "F" it up.

    By the way, I would love to eat crow on this.

    Although I agree that he had dominated and that the bloop was a joke, his pitch count was already in the 90s.


    Still. You leave Buchholz in.

    That was some range out of Burke I've never seen before.

    All this game/series needs now is for Lidge to come and cough up a game winning homer.

    I've realized that ever since they finished the post-season 11-1. It seems like EVERYTHING goes to the White Sox favor. Mind you we have a lot of problems with our club, but still it's not just us... :(

    Can someone please tell me where Wheeler has gone? I haven't seen him in forever.

    -- Well here comes Wheeler then. That was some nice use of Miller there, walk the leadoff guy.

    I can't stand the fact that we use Miller in 9th inning tie game situations ... I hate the way Garner uses the pen

    Another lead off walk to start the inning by the bullpen in a tie situation ... This **** is really pissing me off now

    I agree, every time Miller pitches we lose. He isn't a left specialist and walks too many damn batters. Garner cost us this game. No way Astros win this game. Why not pinch hit for Munson in the 9th when you have Wilson?

    Well, atleast there's some offense now in these games. No more 1-0 wins like in the WS.
