It is a shame that some brilliant performances by our pitching staff have
been negated by our offense.

De La Torres may just have the White Sox' number. Last year with the Royals
he shut us down in an 11-1 KC victory. Every pitcher seems to have one team
that he masters (and one team that he is miserable against), so let's hope
that we can get to Cook early today to make up for it.

Regarding the stolen bases at will, let's hope the rest of the AL didn't see
last night's game. Taveras (sp?) owned us last night. On a related note,
it would be nice if Colorado would let Podsednik play today in some capacity
so the fans can give him a little appreciation for his 3 years here; there's
still a blue chair in right center field with his name on it for his World
Series heroics.

I saw this quote in the Cubune:

"The Sox could have used the bat of their fourth-leading RBI man after
leaving 11 runners stranded against four pitchers from the National
League's worst staff. They hit .215 against the Rockies."

The Sox hitting, aside from their consecutive games winning streak,
has been horrible. If the Sox are not leading baseball in LOB then
I'd be surprised.

Now Konerko is going to be hitting the DL, most likely. I understand
that Jerry Owens has been hitting better lately (he's hit .310 in his
last 3 games so, not anything to get that excited about).

If, as it seems, Konerko has to go on the DL that will mean a Sox line-
up without Thome or Konerko. Thome has played 3 games at first in '06
and only 1 last year. So, I don't think they'll put him at first. No
Thome or Konerko at Wrigley this weekend? Maybe that's not a bad
thing the way they've been hitting.

Make that 10 games.

Maybe Jerry Owens could give the Sox something they lack--speed. I
know he has to get on base but this
team is too one dimensional offensively. They need speed to spark the
offense to win these close games.
You just can't lay back and wait for the home run which the Sox are
too dependent on.

That should have read "De La Rosa", my fault. De La Torres is a nice
Spanish restaurant here in town.

Good to see Podsednik get the chance to play today, though he didn't have to
go and drive in two and score one. My fault guys.

I agree. If Konerko goes on the DL, call up Owens.
