QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 11:07 AM) Night game for a getaway game for a 4 game series? Lame. Until I saw this thread I was just assuming it would be a 1 o'clock start.

I think they're waiting until they are back home with Teahen. And nice to see the Stealth Elf with a start.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 11:59 AM) http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...ar=2010&t=p Sorry if these have been posted, I scanned back about 3 pages and didn't seem them, they're about 2/3 down the link, Bobby's Day/Night splits... Day: Games: 19, with 16.2 innings; ERA of 9.18; WHIP of 1.92; OPS against of .882; tOPS against of 146 with a sOPS against of 141 and 9 saves Night: Games: 25, with 23.2 innings; ERA of 2.28; WHIP of 1.14; OPS against of .572; tOPS against of 60 with a sOPS against of 57 and 14 saves. I don't see the blown save stats on the table, but I could just be missing it, but I know yesterdays and the Sunday Twins game were day games. So he is an effective closer during the night and terrible during the days, these stats are so vastly different it is a little amazing. Well at least he's not alone with his daytime struggles

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 04:29 PM) For one day and one day only, I will adore Mark Kotsay (and his wife). I would think you'd adore her for more than one day only...

Had to make it interesting but got the job done. Well done Sergio.

Uh oh

Oh Lexi...that would have been a big run

Hahaha As long as it puts us ahead. Good game today, Mark

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) Took out Konerko for a baserunner and somehow made our offense more potent... Because it was done stealthily

Stealth Elf strikes again

Cabrera gets to lead off next inning too.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 11:41 AM) This team certainly can still play well and make the playoffs, and I actually tend to think they'll do both. But when you're playing an inferior player when they're are superior options, people are going to get pissed. Particularly in a close pennant race where every game is so big. And they have the right. But it just seems futile to me since it serves no purpose, especially when it gets brought up incessantly. I'd love for Kotsay to be DFA'd or at least play no more than once a week, but constantly moaning about it in every thread for the past weeks is just something I've realized serves no purpose except to get one's self riled up. I'm over it, we're winning and I've had a great summer watching White Sox baseball. I'd just rather spend my time doing something other than getting upset about the same thing over, and over, and over...

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 10:43 AM) Haha that's always the hard part. You can know she's interested, you can even have a good plan for how to handle it properly. But at the end of the day, an awesome girl with interest can make you really nervous, so it can still all go to hell somehow. Hopefully, you don't have that happen to you. HA. Yup. Funny i was just in that situation. Girl would flat out tell me how much she liked me, that I was nicer than any guy she'd ever met and how I always put her in the best mood and all that stuff. Then, out of nowhere, she starts hanging out with the ex who was I had been told was controlling and cheated on her multiple times. So I guess now we're just going to be friends, although I have really no interest in that. Apparently it's through no fault of my own but I dunno. But it's funny you mentioned that cuz while I was talking to her there was another girl I had met through a friend who liked me too. But I didn't pursue anything there cuz I don't like doing the multiple girls at one time thing. A friend of mine was saying how it was funny I had two girls all about me and my response was "yeah now watch me somehow f*** this up". Well, I somehow managed it cuz the second one is gone now too since I waited too long haha. Just sucks cuz I've never met a girl with whom I had so much in common with (the first one). Sometimes I really don't get what goes in their heads.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 11:33 AM) Im not saying that Kotsay isnt worth complaining about, because he certainly is IMO, but hey look the Sox are 15 games over .500 and still playing quality ball. This. Plus the fact that it's become obvious Ozzie isn't going to change anything. And as frustrating as that may be, I'd personally find it frustrating to allow myself to get all up in arms over and over when you basically know in advance what to expect.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:45 AM) I think it's pretty clear to say PK is the whitesox player of this decade (2000-2010). He truly has done everything for this organization. He is a class act on and off the field, has produced almost every year with a few exceptions, was a hero in the playoffs and our first world series in decades. Frankly I love the guy for his professionalism, offense, defense, clutchness, and most of all for representing our city and fans proudly. I hope Jerry and KW understand this and reward him with a fair extension this offseason. He has before and will again take a hometown discount. We owe it to him to let him walk away a Sox. Thankyou Paulie, Youre a class act. If you argued for Mark Buehrle you wouldn't be wrong either.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:29 AM) So, you're saying that the Constitution should be viewed as flexible, that when we try to apply it to a modern society distinct from that in which it was written, we should go into it with an open mind rather than rigidly focusing on the text? Isn't that the point of amendments? I've never argued that shouldn't be the case.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 09:39 PM) Yeah, on my list of things that shouldn't go anywhere...overturning the 14th amendment or pretending that it says nothing about birthright citizenship is pretty far up there. To be fair, the citizenship clause in the 14th amendment was implemented for a completely different purpose than what it is used for today.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:11 AM) Yeah but if he no longer plays baseball maybe his wife leaves him? I'd think the odds are better she'd be embarrassed he does play baseball and leave him...

Obviously Alexei is not the best all around SS in baseball. The better question would have been who is having the best all around season, because even with his horrendous April/May there could at least be an argument for him made there.
