Man Konerko nearly cost us the game, then redeemed himself nicely. Baseball... I love this game.

Meant to post this last Monday, but I can't believe that guy from I Love New York (aka Jennifer Hudson's fiancee) is a wrestler now. I think his name was Punk. Might still be as a wrestler name, but found that hilarious.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 11:34 AM) But wow! I just saw the highlights. That was pure dominance. Scherzer's 14 K game in 5 2/3 innings against the A's, Strasburg's first game against the Pirates and Morrow's gem yesterday are pretty much the 3 best single-game pitching performances in baseball this year. Morrow's performance was the 5th best single game performance since 1920. 9 innings, 17 SO?! That was amazing. QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 01:20 PM) It's not. There were 6 in 1990. Also 5 in '91. So the most no-nos in a season in almost 20 years. If this continues for the next couple of years, then it's dead. Until then, I don't see how it is. Agreed.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 03:28 AM) If I had to guess, Sale will be starting 2011 in AAA or AA, while they try to work on his wildness. Kid walked 14(!!!) people in 103 innings in college (1.2 BB per 9) just this year. He pitched only 10.1 innings in the minors with a ridiculous 19:6 SO/BB rate pitching as a reliever which he is not used to, not to mention going straight from A+ to AAA (which is understandable of a bit of 'wildness'). He might have some flaws, but wild isn't one of them. I agree however there is no chance he sniffs the rotation before the 2011 season, if at all (unless there is alot of injuries in the rotation or if he is just dominating people that forces the sox hand) I think he starts in A+ or AA in the rotation next season. If he starts in AA, that'll further help my prediction to JPN about the Barons being good again in 2011.

I keep f***ing missing this show. Last two I've missed cause I always forget it is on every Sundays. God dammit!

Gartrell flexing his muscles in AAA. Hit his 24th homer. Has a .965 OPS versus lefties. Escobar last 10 games: .325/.357/.475 /.832. Already has 2 homers in 95 ABs in AA (3 in 368 Abs in A+) Fathom's boy was 4-4 tonight. Stephen McCray pitched a perfect 6 innings, but was replaced... Bristol was awful against Boyce tonight.

Badge, you are one of the last posters here I want gone (especially to one of the original guys). But at the same time, I'm not gonna beg you. Just do what you want to do. That said, we need those posters on this site that add solid arguments. As much as people rip Greg, I think he is actually a poster who keeps arguments/discussion (usually not smart, but 'discussion' nonetheless) key.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) FWIW, our own general manager thought we were done and was ready to trade off all pieces earlier in the season. I don't think you can take not expecting a historic run out on our fan base. Great post.

Konerko.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) ^ Probably the only time that I'll ever laugh at a case of attempted rape. I usually hate people trying to do stuff with auto-tune.. but that was one of the most catchiest songs on auto-tune (as far as a regular guy) I've seen in quite some time on youtube. EDIT: Oh.. and that white guy tryin to be gangsta is goofy as hell.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 10:38 PM) No Clayton Richard mentions tonight? My favorite part was when he threw a 3-0 intentional walk pitch to the screen. I'm sure someone will back that and say look at Gio's very good outing tonight. It's a never ending circle good or bad for former prospects.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 11:32 PM) Watch him the next time he grounds out or something. In this game, I think in his first at-bat he chopped a weak grounder between the pitcher and the shortstop and didn't even attempt to run it out, he just jogged to first base at half speed as if to say "oh well, it wasn't a line drive, f*** it." He's done that for years. This year however.. he's taken it to a whole new level, cause he's been brutal at the plate. Like I said before, if he wasn't putting the numbers down and helping our pitchers, he would get a much hate as Kotsay/Jenks.. maybe more.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 10:03 PM) and Saladino continues to impress. Saladino has really killed the ball in low-A. Definitely a good thing to see. Real impressed with him as well. I've said long ago he is one to watch and one I like keeping tabs on.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) And I just have to say that Ozzie needs to limit Rios in trying to steal bases, he's been so inefficient. Don't get me started on Ozzie's base running efficiency for Sox SB threats. I don't even think Rios has been this bad in his career in % when he was with Toronto. QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 08:43 PM) Head to Head w the Twins next week! The intensity will be high! Should be a fun last 50 games! Enjoy White Sox fans.....the Cubs fans are stuck following Bears training camp! Yep. Tigers are done IMO. Gonna be interesting if two teams (sox and twins most likely) from get another game 163 again in the central.

Justin Edwards actually pitched well vs. Teheran. (who was a miss match going into that game... just a stud pitcher) Barons came back against their bullpen. Escobar is starting to adjust well against AA pitching. And Brandon Short has not struck out yet in the month of August.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 05:15 PM) I give The Other Guys 8/10. Eva Mendes looked GREAT. She always does..

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 03:42 PM) What you probably need to start looking at in terms of Fernandez is whether or not contracts like this one match up with his come trading deadline time. He makes 1.25 million so it'll depend if whomever the Bulls trade (most likely draft picks) can work under the CBA. Right now the Bulls can't trade JJ for him, cause JJ makes too much. (unless Portland gives up some scrub like Pendergraph) That is why Rudy is very valuable. He's making pocket change (in NBA standards) for two years. Portland's organization unfortunately are douches. They want to rip teams off in every trade (ask for much more than a player is worth/overrating their talent), or they'll back off even when said player does not want to be there and would just keep him to rot.

Second start... 7.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB's, 4 K's. 96 pitches, 63 strikes. He and Garland had a nice little pitchers duel. Hudson lowered his ERA overall to 3.73

That Teahen guy is a nice looking prospect.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 10:44 PM) That's why I was asking and not stating. I wonder if he's worth the money or just an average guy. Maybe he's a one-inning guy. What is he? Well... he would be Bobby Jenks.
