QUOTE (scenario @ May 27, 2010 -> 07:11 PM) I'm in Florida listening to the Rays TV broadcast team announce the game. They were talking about the difference between how the Red Sox (the series they just finished) and White Sox hitters approach the game. They said the Red Sox hitters were much more patient and worked deeper into counts... and that the White Sox were much more notorious first ball hitters who went up to the plate swinging and didn't walk much. Sounds about right. Funny thing is, aren't we like 10th in the league in BBs and 1st in the league in the least amount of SOs or something like that? Hell the sox got 3 BBs in this game to TB's 1 though I know what TB is saying. I would think it applied more-so in other years than this one.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 27, 2010 -> 06:16 PM) Tyler's K-rate is becoming rather scary. I feel really sorry for most of the knights hitters that have Gary Ward as their hitting coach. What is crazy is that Brent Lillibridge is hitting like he deserves another shot at the bigs. Brandon Short last 2 games.. 0-8, 6 Ks.

Ha, and just like that my PTC gets a homer.

I missed a chunk of the game here, other than reading the thread here, now seeing pitchfx as a joke if that pitch was a strike, (thanks kalapse) and seeing we still have 0 runs, I'm glad Gavin had a pretty good outing for himself again.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 27, 2010 -> 07:07 PM) in Kotsay's defense, that pitch was way outside. I consider that a make-up call to that horrible called third strike on Jaso when Gavin's curve was way low (pretty much hit the ground).

Rios with his 15th SB already.

Really late on this, but that called third strike on Jaso from Gavin was just really really bad, and I'm a sox fan saying this.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 27, 2010 -> 05:16 PM) People that are great human beings usually are outstanding judges of character. Meh.. that can go either way in either case. I personally think guys who are just good human beings/people more or less have a good heart. Hell I consider myself a good person, but one of my closest friends is the nicest, good hearted dude I've ever met and he has some friends who are pretty much assholes (alot of times to him). But he just has a good heart to look past some of that scrutiny, and his friends love him even if they mess with him.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 27, 2010 -> 04:09 PM) I see guys like Mark and Jim Thome adoring Ozzie, and it makes it a hell of a lot more difficult for me to believe what guys like Nick Swisher have to say about him. I don't think there's a single manager those two guys wouldn't like. They are both just outstanding human beings and better teammates.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 27, 2010 -> 04:47 PM) I can't agree with you about Jermaine and Jenks. I agree with Jason 100% from what he said actually, and really it shouldn't be surprising.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) Greg, to be honest, no one in Chicago gives a s*** about the Sox right now. Between the Blackhawks and LeBron, those are the two main stories. Heck, Ozzie's kid ripping on Peavy got absolutely no press. To be fair... Ozzie vs Joe West actually got alot of press here and on sports networks FYI.

QUOTE (Real @ May 27, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) Quentin is a bust Ya your already wrong. You are considered a bust when you haven't done s*** at the MLB level at all, especially when you are/were considered a top prospect. Now... you can call him a one year wonder, a guy with a fluke season, injury prone player who was amazing for a season, etc.. but bust players don't go .288/.394/.571/.965 148 OPS+ (5th in MVP voting, though would had won if he didn't get injured) in any year.

Happy B-Day fellow drinking buddy.

I had Hawks in 5 against Nashville (they won in 6) Hawks in 6 against Vancouver (correct) and I had Hawks in 5 against San Jose cause of the great match-up style (they obviously said f*** it and won in 4) I'm gonna say Hawks in 5 against the Flyers.

Great news.

Teahen.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2010 -> 01:45 PM) They're not, don't worry. I'll be stunned if they don't take a college pitcher with their first pick. Ditto. I'd bet a ton it will be, as me you and DirtySox have been on that bandwagon for a while here. I'll say pitcher first, position player (toolsy OF or perhaps a stud SS that happened to drop who they like) with our next pick.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ May 26, 2010 -> 09:59 AM) lol, but Gary has one of the best casinos (Majestic Star) in the Chicago area. A "little" crime in Gary aint gonna stop me from going there. One of my closest friends is a security guard at that place. I still have not went to Gary to go there, though it isn't just cause of the area. (hell I grew up in South Chicago)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 26, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) Mark might end up getting some time off as well... Unless it's a 5 game suspension, Buehrle won't even miss his next start.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 26, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) It could be just me. Yes it is.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:49 PM) Ozzie's going to enjoy his 2 game suspension for those comments. Good for him! Usually I would be ecstatic, but Joey Cora gives me much more stomach pains. He is just terrible.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 26, 2010 -> 11:27 AM) Happy Birthday, D-bags! This, though I actually like Juddling. Happy B-Day guys.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 26, 2010 -> 11:53 AM) But...only an .812 OPS in May. 1.085 in April. You still just proved wite's point. A .812 OPS in a month is a great month for alot of players.

QUOTE (hogan873 @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:39 PM) Wow. This thread has degraded fast. I blame Jenks. Everyone was getting along fine until his ample duff came in and nearly blew it. Now there's arguing and fighting and people nailing each other's moms. What the hell? No idea myself.. and I didn't even catch the game. As for the whole clubhouse argument, maybe I need to pull the whole article on Don Cooper 1 on 1 to end this discussion, as I just put the thing that stuck out to me I've had on the top of my sig (the sigs change, that quote doesn't) for like 4 years now.
