If I had to guess, Sale will be starting 2011 in AAA or AA, while they try to work on his wildness. He hasn't even gotten a major league batter out yet; why rush the kid?

Both cities were specifically chosen because of their high importance in war weapon production for the Japanese.

You know until the US dropped the bomb, the Japanese Emperor was considered to be a literal god. Infallible and undefeatable. I don't think that surrender would have happened without the proof that the emperor was fallible by not being able to stop the bombs; and thus, not a god.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 12:44 AM) Exactly! When has Walker ever taken in a batter that had a bad track record and transformed them like Coop does to pitchers? If Walker was any good, guys like Brian Anderson would've been better. Maybe it was Anderson's own fault.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 12:58 PM) I think he deserves some credit for the change in approach we've seen from the team is a hole. Anyone who still says Walk is a "lift and pull" coach hasn't watched this season at all. That said, he probably didn't have much to do with our struggles or are successes, which is why I was never on the Fire Walk bandwagon. At the very least, good for him for getting the fans off his back. Did you mean, "on the whole", perhaps?

If Teahen can wait until Aug 16, then they can 15 day-DL Kotsay with "back problems."

EDIT: Oh.. and that white guy tryin to be gangsta is goofy as hell. That f***ing song has been stuck in my head for the last 5 days.

QUOTE (Bizness @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:47 AM) On Saturday night the Chicago White Sox defeated the Oakland Athletics 4-2. Gavin Floyd had another great outing and JJ Putz closed out the game. Wait JJ Putz closed out the game? Manager Ozzie Guillen chose to go with Putz in the 9th over resident closer Bobby Jenks. Guillen stated that Jenks was held out of the game due to back stiffness. http://www.jonathanhoodshow.com/?p=2452 JHood forgets that they played the Orioles.

It's hard for me to say. I've never been into the WAR or UZR or that stuff, but I have a long memory of baseball history and know a lot about Sox trivia. I guess I'm knowledgable, but I'm not really a B-R disciple other than looking at it as a historical tool.

It says in that article that he does have a NTC.

Rios has been scuffling lately. I think that teams are figuring out ways to get him out. Low and outside usually does it.

Pete Incaviglia and Jim Abbott went right from the draft to the majors. Neither spent any time in the minors.

Boston never "gives up" on a season. They have too much money and fan following to give up and give away their popular players.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 04:14 AM) So then a player is just given to a team, right? Since the team who placed him on waivers has NO leverage in the deal at all, he is just given to the team then yes? Unless the team receiving him wants to throw the other team a crappy prospect just in good faith, right? If the waivers aren't irrevocable, the player can be pulled back if if the waiving team wants to pull them back. If they are irrevocable, the player can be had by whatever team has first priority.
