QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 03:24 PM) Alexei just absolutely flies down the line now a days. It's ridiculous. I just wish he was a better base stealer. He has the speed for sure

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) Viciedo's hitting .322 with a 1.088 OPS against LHP since his callup. He's only 21.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:55 PM) Viciedo to 3b, Stealth Elf in CF. I can't get over how awesome that nickname is. Oz really should have thrown Jones out in RF this inning too.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:44 PM) Fangraphs, along with the MLB network, are the two greatest things to happen to baseball fans EVER! Now if MLB.tv gets an app for the Droid that will be the third (just got an email saying it was available for the iPhone so that's why I bring it up)

Does fangraphs have a career pickoffs stat? Whenever MB picks someone off I always wonder where he ranks all time and can never find the stat.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:22 PM) It's the 2010's though now...are you calling the full "Millennium"? And you're forgetting some of the guys from the early part of the decade. David Wells, Royce Clayton have to be up there. Clayton used to just get absolutely destroyed over on the ESPN boards

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:22 PM) The one positive I can say about him is he's dependable. When he's at the plate, you know exactly what you're going to get. Grindiness with a chance of an infield pop up

Ya the offense can't let up at all here. Try and make them use as much of their pen right now as possible. And about Pierre, he has actually been pretty good since his terrible start to the year.

So is Threets on the DL already or are they going to wait until after Game 1?

People keep talking about his lack of plate discipline. Is it really the case though or do people just like throwing around the term because nothing is more fun than finding something criticize and/or nitpick at? The guy isn't a strikeout machine and makes contact; often solid contact. I haven't seen him chase too many pitches or look foolish too often yet up there. Just because he likes to swing at often one of the first good pitches he gets, that doesn't necessarily mean he lacks plate discipline. He's the kind of hitter we want swinging, trying to drive in runs. We don't need him up there trying to get on base ala a lead off hitter or waiting up there to give the guys in front of him a chance to swipe a bag. He doesn't walk, but he hasn't exactly looked like a guy who doesn't know where the strike zone is either.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) Jordan4life, why are you pissed? It's not like Kenny ever makes any bad trades right? Just be like the other half of this board and have blind faith in KW for no reason! Yawn

JimBowdenXMFOX White Sox still discussing Dunn and Berkman but a scout told Mark Gonzalez Chisox chasing a reliever as well....DC next w/Bill Ladson 5 minutes ago via web JimBowdenXMFOX Bill Ladson reports that the Nats will take the draft picks for Dunn if they can't get what they want because it worked w/Soriano (JZim) 1 minute ago via web JimBowdenXMFOX Bill Ladson reports that if Adam Dunn is traded that he thinks it will be to the Chicago White Sox less than 10 seconds ago via web

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 03:46 PM) Guzman was traded to the rangers IMO to make room for morel. I doubt that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) I really don't even want to watch this game. I do. I like seeing Sox prospetcs debut. I'm worried, but if Harrell/Pena can give us 6 innings and 4 or less runs we should be in this game.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:27 PM) I dont really have time to get into this argument again, but I find it strange that pretty much everywhere around the world, independently of one another, sightings of a similar large primate/man have happened throughout history. Not just in the last 100 years. I am probably wrong, but hey, until 4 years ago nobody believed that there truly was a 100 foot squid in the ocean And before the internets too. I would not be shocked at all if that proved true.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:08 PM) I would give the entire farm system for Dunn if we don't have to include Jackson. I think most would. Most would not.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:33 PM) I like this Jackson trade. He's got great stuff and he's 26. He's not as bad as his ERA indicates. 4.27 FIP, .318 BABIP. His fly ball rate is only 30%. People overrated Hudson on this board, he was a no. 3 starter-at best. Ok and what is Jackson? a number 4 starter? and he costs about $8M more per year.

Initial impression is that this trade is full of suck.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) @cst_sox - Don't get too excited about B. Myers talk. GOOD!

FakeJoeCowley My sources say the Sox are close to acquiring Roethlisberger and a woman to be named later for Hudson and Quentin. Ben would start tonight. 5 minutes ago via web LOL

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:06 PM) Cowley twats that Marquez is an option as well. He'd be pitching on 3 days rest. Heh

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:25 AM) It's official. I will get no more work done today. This.

I wonder how much of this we're going to eventually see on The Club?
