QUOTE (balfanman @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 08:47 AM) Ozzie is quoted in the Tribune today saying that he's going to keep playing the same guys. He can't leave soon enough in my book. "Guillen said he would continue to play most of his starters instead of the younger players for the final 13 games." Of course, they need that second place finish for the coaches to get their 10K bonus for X-mas. What a great guy Ozzie is!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 07:16 AM) That he had been so consistent coming into this month was pretty astounding considering his peripherals, which were never impressive in the first place, had declined over the last few years. Somebody should bump that "Continuing decline of Mark Buehrle" thread back up.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 07:10 AM) Mark with a cool 11.74 ERA and 2.54 WHIP this month. 33 hits in 15.1 IP. Ouch. That's second half 2006 bad. All part of the plan to resign him with that hometown discount!

I hope to god someone in that org. steps in and lets Ozzie know they better be seeing Flowers, De Aza, maybe even Escobar playing more consistently now to go along with Beckham, Morel, Viciedo and the young arms.

Morel.

Just outstanding for the org and for those kids. Congrats to them! Went from last to first (some of those players were on last year's losing team as well).

Will probably be the deepest team the Brew Crew has to throw out there for the playoffs for who knows how long. The time to win the damn thing is now with some solid players (and damn good in Fielder's case) leaving after this year one way (FA) or another (trade). Kind of similar to the Blackhawks in that aspect. Definitely a team to root for. It's a shame too that Prince is saying this now, and might potentially leave. He and Braun are just a joy to watch hit back to back. Reminds me of the Ramirez/Ortiz years in Boston.

Mine is obvious to those posters who have been here a while. (for those posters who don't know, it was my favorite prospect ever, Jeremy Reed) I don't know if you mean flopped as in got to the bigs and sucked or flopped as in was on the cusp in the system and got injured, but I was a big fan of Kris Honel back in the day. Shame what happened to him. Still think he would've been a damn good pitcher for us. I liked BA alot too, though more as in following him in an AAP, not as in actual man crush. So other than Reed, it was Honel.

Tank.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 15, 2011 -> 12:00 AM) I know. Not much of a revelation. But I'm talkin' 09 Mauer type s***. He won't hit .350. Other than that, he's on the cusp. And with his defense being where it's at now? You''re talkin' one potentially special player. I would hope so. Dude was a top 5 pick just 4 years ago (should of been top 3), was very highly touted comming out of Georgia Tech (scouts compared him to Joe Mauer with power) destroyed minor league pitching, and so far, hasn't been that great in the bigs like he is capable of. He still has time though and yes.. I still follow up on him since I was a big fan of his.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:26 AM) I hate working night shift. Off to bed I go then.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:10 AM) I definitely have to disagree. He just seems like a child, grabbing all of the attention that he can. I certainly don't think he's made anybody look like a fool. Hmmm... perhaps my "slang" of fool wasn't caught on in this case. (though I'm shocked not by Milk and Sqwert who are pretty cool dudes here) Word to yo momma. Ah well, thank god for J4L and Row I guess.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 09:56 AM) But that one was oh, so sweet. Does anyone else think it would be cool if Rivera got just one more save this season and retired so that he and Hoffman would be tied? I respect both highly and it would just be the coolest ending to me. Personally, I want Mariano to not only break it, but destroy it. Love Hoffman, but Mariano is the best and will permanently put an end to those homer Padre fans who was really the best closer to ever do it. (since the saves record is their only argument they got left and also no disrespect to Eck who is another one) I can still see Mariano pitching for another 2-3 years (possibly more) IF he wanted to. 41 years old and still putting up a 0.93 WHIP.. amazing. (then again.. Hoffman put up a 0.90 WHIP at the same age which was his lowest since like 1998 which is even more ridiculous)

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) What? You heard me fool. I'm actually pretty shocked a guy with only 22 posts has this much of a history with what was said about him.

Add 2 more walks from last nights game for Morel. September numbers in 49 PA: .316/.447/.763/1.210 (5 HRs, 10 RBIs, 9 BBs.. all the highest of any month already)

Konerko.

QUOTE (MAX @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 01:57 AM) I remember this guy from the old bears board . . . called himself brophy. He's a gem. Absolutely. Straight owning some of these fools. Good entertaining read. I hope Bozzie post more in the off-season. (where I have a feeling it's gonna be alot of disappointment)

Toews gettin some jokes/partial hate for this.

Geez.. bringing the game thread (how it used to be with some posters) back to 2004 with the pics huh Quinarvy?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 06:33 AM) Does the phrase "emergency appendectomy" scare people a lot more over the last 5 months or so than it ever did before? My god.. and we just signed him to an extension. I guess the saving grace is it is a different sport. I also find it odd his is gonna take 3-4 weeks whereas Dunns took what... a few days?

Justin f***ing Verlander. Konerko.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 05:47 AM) CBPOTY is easily within grasp. In fact, if he is still on a mlb roster next September, he should be a lock. I've already got him penciled in..

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 01:44 AM) Another 2 HR day . That's 2 in the last week. Both to CF so he's showing very good pop now. And he is walking a ton as well. Already 7 walks this month alone. (had 7 the entire season prior)

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 11:12 PM) I would buy that if it was like...well Derrick Rose or someone of that ilk but Jason Frasor? Not buying it there. It doesn't matter if it was f***ing Jason Grilli, it is still a ton of pressure for anyone. Hell, I remember when I was nervous as all hell to play in downtown Chicago in tournaments against other midwest states... in freaking high school ball. Not trying to make excuses for the guy though, he is a professional.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 09:21 PM) For Logan Morrison. QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 09:41 PM) +1 He hit a bomb the other night. (off a lefty no less) http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/video/play....ogan%20Morrison
