QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 03:00 PM) I don't necessarily know about carrying, but I never was particuarly concerned about Swish. And all the hand-wringing about how such a horrible acquisition he was had started getting on my nerves, so I'd skip over threads and whatnot. He'll be fine. I'm with you, he's 27 and in the last two years has proved to be a good hitter. Someone posted a statistical article showing how a lot of his peripheral numbers were consistent and his BABIP was ridiculously low.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) Swisher is heating up. awesome!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 02:51 PM) come on JD first and third em Looks like Crain is in

well, that's probably it for Danks this game, 6 IP, 5Rs (CBS has it as 4 ER). Obviously not one of his greatest efforts, but hey, he's been great this year and hopefully he'll bounce back against the Rockies

damn, didn't need that GIDP!

well, start chipping away here guys, only down 3. Perkins hasn't been lights out

2 two out singles, runners on 1st and 3rd 2 out

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 02:23 PM) I hope we can get 3 or 4 on him next inning before they take him out. Although, their 'pen is pretty bad. well, that Nathan guy is OK

OK, not a huge inning, but Swish gets them to one run down.

awesome, shocking that a 27 year old with OPS+ the last two years of 125 and 127 wasn't done (last part in green)

OK, what the hell happened?

OK, bad inning but he pulled his head out of his ass and kept the team in it. That shows some maturity on Danks part

OK, nice K by John, get this guy and this isa bad inning, but not a disaster

yeah, Perkins hasn't looked like Joe Mays or anything, just need to keep in in hand and give the offense a chance.

OK, got the pop out, one out, runner still at 2nd... hold them down Danks, let the offense get another crack at it

double, 3-1 twins nobody out

damn, the leadoff walk and the throwing error

ah, double, runners on 2nd and 3rd, nobody out

is the strikezone tight today? Only watching on computer, but a few balls in their strikezone being called balls

don't need that leadoff walk!

damn, that's a flashback, hopefully just a blip... Thome and PK strike out

darnit PK, a K, and looking!

battle by Quentin ends in a walk, bases loaded for Paulie

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 01:53 PM) Which pisses me off. A W-L record tells you NOTHING about a pitcher's individual performance during a season. Personally the first thing I look at is ERA, it doesn't tell you everything but as a stat it probably tells you the most by itself. When I'm judging who I pick for the All-Star game I don't even look at W-L record. ERA+ is also good since it's league and ballpark adjusted

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 01:48 PM) One of them is Contreras, I know... but the reason I ask that is because I'm a little surprised there's not been more All-Star buzz about him. It's not like he came otu of nowhere - he was a first round pick, after all. unfortunately people tend to look at w-l when it comes to all-star
