Hello Win Column, Win #16: Dirty Harry: Harrison Shuts Out Potent Chi-Sox Offense

Wow.

Game Boxscore, Recap

Now let's hear from the losing locker room:

Matt Harrison is a Left-Handed Sonnanstine from South Side Sox

Jose Contreras is broken from Sox Machine

"I can pinpoint the exact moment where I threw in the towel for Jose Contreras' near future -- and nothing even happened on the play.

In the second inning of Friday night's 6-0 loss to the Texas Rangers, two outs, Omar Vizquel at the plate, and runners on first and third, Contreras screamed:

"I AM AFRAID OF PITCHING!"

...by trying one of those fake-to-third, throw-to-first deals.

Then, add in these two factors:

Two outs!

Two outs and Omar Vizquel!

He stalled despite that hitter being Vizquel, the one guy on the field who might be older than Contreras, and the guy who slugged .267 last year. He was trying to figure out another way to get out of the inning besides pitching his way out of it."
