[Peavy had rotator cuff tendinitis]

Even if they say it's nothing serious tomorrow, they have to shut him down now for a while.

 

It really is pointless to count on this guy at all.

[Peavy had rotator cuff tendinitis]

Be really nice if Sox call an audible and start the process of making Sale a starter.

 

I'd be all for that, but Sale would have to go down and start for a couple months, and earn his way into the rotation. It can't just be that his pitch count is at a certain level.

After CJ Retherford got a single off Jake, he said, "My arm! It's broken!".

[White Sox @ Rays, 04/18 THREAD]

Can't wait for that 38-13 stretch like last year. I'm sure that will be coming.

 

But seriously, this team f***ing blows. There, I said it.

[White Sox @ Rays, 04/18 THREAD]

Morel has been sub-par defensively so far this season, but I'm going to give him a little bit of a break considering this is probably the first time playing a lot of baseball in this kind of weather. Yes, it's an excuse, but I think he deserves a little bit of a break. He's also shown glimpses of a very good 3B, so I'll cut him slack for rookie miscues.

[White Sox @ Rays, 04/18 THREAD]

I don't think it's really comparable quite yet. In the minors, Morel walked almost twice as much as Viciedo.

 

Morel has had 49 plate appearances. Let's see where his OBP is at 150 PA's. I just hope he gets there, because I dread the thought of Mark Teahen playing 3B regularly.

[White Sox @ Rays, 04/18 THREAD]

Morel looking for his first walk this year still.

 

Please don't suck.

[New Comiskey Park, or US Cellular Field, turns 20 today]

I like it the way it is. I'm not against retractable roofs, but even when they're open, it still feels like you're inside--I'm speaking of Miller Park. I don't know how it is in the other retractable roof stadiums.

[2011 AL Central Catch-All Thread]

No.

 

I'll give them til June. They will have played enough sample to know if they're good.

 

Sometimes teams don't get respect until they're actually good.

 

[2011 AL Central Catch-All Thread]

Are the Indians for real? Masterson and Tomlin have been outstanding. Carmona is coming around. Sizemore is back. And don't forget...the power of Orlando Cabrera.

Thompson --2 hits and a walk.

 

Blanke-- ejection

[Angels @ White Sox, Sunday 1:10 PM, CSN]

You know what really concerns me about Beckham? He sucks at home.

 

Just .179 this season at home, and .231 career.

 

That really bugs me.

Some good things...Anthony Carter with another scoreless inning. Mitchell had a good game. Bayne, also good.

 

Griffith--5 walks. No.

[Angels @ White Sox, Sunday 1:10 PM, CSN]

So Buehrle can go 101 pitches when he's going to lose, but only 99 pitches when he's 10-15 pitches from an almost sure win?

 

Ok.

[Performing To Expectations]

I've decided not to freak out ever during this season. It's either win or Ozzie and Kenny have to go.

 

This team could still run away with this division. I have no idea yet.

 

I'll be watching and hoping they win, but there's a part of me that wants to see what will happen if they don't make the playoffs.

 

 

 

[4/16 GT: Sox vs Halos - 3:10pm CDT - FOX]

Um...yeah.

[4/15 Games]

Trout certainly would have been considered the more aggressive pick, considering that's what their new drafting philosophy is supposedly.

 

They were probably wanting a leadoff hitter that's closer to the big leagues than some high school player. Well, that high school player is now in AA, and Mitchell is at Winston-Salem. Yes, I know he missed a year, but still.

 

I'm just not feeling Mitchell will be anything. Hope I'm wrong, but it's still going to take a couple years to find out.

[White Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels 4/15, 7:10 PM CT. CSN]

April 18 - June 1 the Sox have three long road trips. 30 road/13 home.

 

They had their chance to get some padding, and now they've blown it.

 

If they come home from Boston on June 1st at 31-27, I'll take it.

[White Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels 4/15, 7:10 PM CT. CSN]

On the bright side, they got the game in and won't have to call up Jeff Marquez to start a game next week.

[White Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels 4/15, 7:10 PM CT. CSN]

With Pierre, you try to have him steal, then try to move him over by hitting to the right side.

 

I just don't understand giving up an out there.

[2011 Minor League Catch-All Thread]

Stefan Gartrell was outrighted to Charlotte, dropping him from the 40-man, which is now at 37.

[4/15 Games]

Could've had Trout. Instead, we take another college football player with a long swing.

[White Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels 4/15, 7:10 PM CT. CSN]

Oh great, tonight they all wear 42.

 

Not confusing at all.

[2011 White Sox Catch-All Thread]

If they get rained out tonight, they'll probably play a doubleheader on Sunday.

 

Then the question is---what will they do with the rotation? They might be forced to start Marquez, Harrell, or Dolsi the last game in Tampa.

 

Peavy ready for 5 innings?
