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 (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.

Hopefully they send him back out there soon. Really hard to make your major league debut in a tie game going into the late innings.

If he wasnt for him putting down the numbers and helpin our pitching staff, A.J. would be right up there with the hate. BECKHAM!!!!

Bulls sign Keith Bogans to a two year, 2.5 million dollar deal. (second year partial guarantee, pretty much the vet minimum) http://twitter.com/daldridgetnt/status/20502247505 http://twitter.com/SamSmithHoops/status/20502627785 This better not be no Rudy. I'm assuming this is likely more depth, which is solid.. though I'm not a big fan of his.

Most of my family knows cause I'm on here all the time, and they have seen an increase amount of computer time over the years thanks to this site. A few friends know about it as well. (not alot at all, just the close peeps) No past girlfriends or current however... they will never know about my precious.... (until my future wife perhaps if I get married.. )

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) Am I borderline retarded? You are in the middle.. perhaps approaching the borderline retarded stage thanks to more advanced saber knowing. Those dudes are just on another planet of stupidity however.

Obviously guys like Tmar, flippedoutpunk, jhonnydanks, etc.. are extremely intelligent people of Baseball knowledge. Guys like qwerty, Kalapse, etc.. are borderline retarded.

John Madden to the Wild. 1 year, 1 million. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=329729 Thanks for helping us win the cup Mad-dog. EDIT: Oh... and Chris Chelios officially retires finally.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 01:24 PM) I'd also trade Danks for Votto, but it would probably take Danks + Viciedo. I'd still do it. I'm usually not a fan of trading pitching for 1B (usually the easiest position to fill) but Votto is one of those different cases. I would do it as well thinking long and hard about it, but as wite said, the Reds probably wouldn't. They have a great future as far as pitchers already. I'd bet money though they would love to have Beckham much more-so than Danks.

Becks.

Viciedo is "suppose" to play 2/3 games in this series. We'll see Ozzie.

Hawks might be looking at Tim Kennedy as well. Solid LW (and can play some center), very young (24 yrs), and Patrick Kane's BFF (same hometown). I've seen comparisons to Versteeg. (small guy, but hits) May not have as much offensive upside as Kris, but is better defensively supposedly. Might be a nice pickup for the third 'grit' line. Brouwer-Toews-Kane Stalberg-Sharp-Hossa Kennedy-Bolland-Skille Bickell-Dowell-Kopecky Though Q shuffles people around anyways.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 10:09 PM) If anyone cares, tomorrow will be the day stuff does or doesn't happen. So there ya go. Is that when your softball game is?
