Possibly his last game in a sox uni... Konerko.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Oct 2, 2010 -> 10:50 PM) Flowers is batting .000. I wouldn't start trying to compare him with AJ just yet. And yet has a .308 OBP to A.J.'s .301 OBP. I wasn't really comparing them (Flowers will never have A.J.'s average, but he will probably have the better OBP even if he hits .200 and OPS though won't nearly have the contact rate as A.J.) but it's good to see a young guy that patient. (I've watched the games he's played. These aren't 3-0, 3-1 counts either with easy misses for walks, he's earning them)

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Oct 2, 2010 -> 08:23 PM) Viciedo 2/3 double and HR now batting .310. Morel 1/3 double, DeAza 1/3 rbi double, Lillibridge 1/2 2 rbi single, Flowers 0/1, 2 walks, 2 runs scored , still batting .000. Pierre, Vizuel, Konerko and Teahan combined 0/11. Sox win rain shortened game 6-2. I don't know what is sadder. That Viciedo is making Ozzie look stupid again, or Flowers already having 4 walks in 10 ABs to A.J.'s 15 walks in 472 at-bats.

Only reason I'm starting a Game Thread is cause Oz is playing the kids again, and I will watch the game again. Though it looks like there's a chance we won't get this one in tonight. Pierre LF Vizquel SS Konerko DH Viciedo 1B Teahen RF Flowers C Morel 3B De Aza CF Lillibridge 2B Buehrle LHP

Well... so far not a good start to the season. Brian Campbell is out 4-5 weeks with a sprained knee.

De Aza.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) Really? Cuz their outfield of Gardner-Granderson-Swisher is already pretty good. I don't think the Yankees would hesitate moving the 4.0 WAR Granderson this winter for the 7.0 WAR Crawford. Gardner has a been a + defender at CF in the past as well (he's much better in LF, but Crawford is so good there you can move Brent at CF and still be as good, maybe even better defensively) not to mention they get the better OBP player in Crawford the last two years. It's the Yankee way.

Wow... Morel with 2 web gems in one inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 06:31 PM) Does Tyler Flowers ever swing the bat? He's going to shatter Pods strike out looking record if he ever plays half a season. He will strikeout alot, but one thing he does do that is much superior than A.J. is he will take a walk. No doubt he will have the higher OBP next season even if he's hitting .200.

Flowers, De Aza, Morel, Viciedo all playing. I will be watching this game. First game in 2 1/2 weeks.

Congrats to LittleHurt05! Nice going on the PTC. Might as well play for pride here.. De Aza.

I guess people who hate Brett Favre and Ben Roethlisberger so much is because their white. The world makes sense! Hell, ESPN tried to destroy Tiger Woods cause of his cheating, but people still love him. (I still love Tiger personally) Obviously this means Magic, Barkley and Jordan are all racist.

You better be doing something tomorrow or Saturday then Bolt. Otherwise, you have failed us all as a poster.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 30, 2010 -> 10:58 PM) lol, culprit, corporate, same thing Thanks Kyyle. Figured someone would let it slide without missing the point (Spelling police). Didn't feel like editing it, but I'll do it anyway. (ya I know you were pulling my leg a bit there 3E8 )

My god.. you hear the sound of the bat when he hit that? Crazy. And you gotta love the crowd's noise on that one.

The culprit? Sarah's own father. I honestly didn't know where to put this.. On the Catch-All thread or what, but figured it deserved it's own thread. Prayers go out to Sarah and her family. If anyone outside Chicago doesn't know who she is, she is a reporter on Comcast Sportsnet Chicago. Covers most of the Chicago teams (Sox, Bears, Bulls, etc.)

THE FUSE IS LATE!!!

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 30, 2010 -> 07:10 PM) I'm going to do my best to update the standings tonight before I go to bed. That way, the drama will be more for the last three games. LittleHurt05 has pretty much sealed the deal. Doubt there will be any drama at all.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 30, 2010 -> 09:27 PM) Admins aren't allowed to fall asleep on the job. Could it be he's trying to reach 70000000000 post on this board taking it easy?

Like I said before.. I hope he gets as much money and as many years as possible with another team in FA. He more than deserves it. I've only got emotional once with a sox player leaving and that was Big Frank (for obvious reasons, and for childhood reasons). Buehrle is probably the only other player that I could see me getting somewhat upset about. (though not at the same level as Frank) Good luck Konerko on whatever you do. I would love to see how KW does with the team and the resources however (whether thats going younger/cheaper, trading prime talent for other pieces, etc..) should be an interesting winter once again.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 30, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) Thank goodness he's been rotting away on the bench this month for no apparent reason. Dude don't you know how good Ozzie is at evaluating young talent? Clearly he isn't ready.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 30, 2010 -> 03:09 PM) Leaving comments like that just bait me back in. Most people would call that a sucker.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Sep 30, 2010 -> 03:59 PM) Are the Sox actually in the Wild Card hunt??? I thought they were dead? They are. Rays and Yankees clinched when we beat the Red Sox either yesterday or the day before that.

Happy B-Day fellas. Bolt, 21... go nuts.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Sep 30, 2010 -> 06:15 AM) I don't get the heavy dislike that Pierre gets by some. I think he's an okay lead-off guy, has got good speed, and has shown some pretty good defense this year. However, I agree that he is way overpaid. And if that's the only source of the dislike, I can understand that. I can care less about the money he is making. Overpaid or underpaid, I just hate his game. I'm sure he is a fantastic person, and his work ethic is second to none, but him as a baseball player.. terrible. I'm not speaking for anybody else though. Other than Kalapse, I hate him the most on this board.
