Talking Gibberish


Does White Sox starter James Shields listen to himself talk?  After getting hammered by the Phillies Tuesday night (5-1/3 innings pitched, 9 hits, 3 walks, 7 runs, 6 earned) to fall to 5-18 on the year with a 5.98 ERA (but 7.11 with the Sox), this is what Shields told reporters: “I made some pretty good pitches that I thought actually were going to hit the dirt, and they just strung together some hits when they needed to.  We ended up with the infield in, and they found some holes.”  Note to Shields: Philadelphia ranks 29th, next to last, in MLB with a .238 team batting average and last in runs scored.

In this morning’s Tribune, Sox manager Robin Ventura said the Philadelphia hitters were “cueing them off the end” of their bats.  Robin, please read the above stats.
