They know that they're spinning their wheels this year. Why not call up the youngsters.

Have good ones!

About 45 minutes from now.

BMAC out 6 weeks + with a stress fracture in his throwing shoulder blade. Not good.

Contreras - a 1 hitter. Now what?

Thanks for all the birthday wishes folks!

Perhaps it's because someone made the s***ty lineup.

Who didn't see this one coming...

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 02:46 PM) Some kid from Downers Grove died in Ames from falling down a 7-story elevator shaft. Are you certain that it wasn't a silo?

They aren't bad. Just inconsistent. You want bad? Look at the 1970 team overall. You want bad? Look at the batting averages of the 1967 team. You want bad? Look at the pitching staff of the 1989 team. The leading power hitter in '89 had 14 hr 87 rbi.

The reason the Sox got so much out of their 1987-1990 drafts was that they sucked soooo bad from '86 to '89 in order to get those picks. Comiskey averaged under 4,000 people some nights while their best pitcher of 1989 won 11 games and finished under .500. 1986 - 72-90 got Jack McDowell #5 1987 - 77-85 got Robin Ventura #10 1988 - 71-90 got Frank Thomas #7 1989 - 69-92 got Alex Fernandez #4

Have you checked this thread for party suggestions?

Just think of the great draft pick the Sox might get in 2010 and the salary relief after the season.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 01:04 AM) Wow, you're pretty excited for this one, huh? Why not? Go Beckham! Go Sox! Let's Kick Some Ass! Heck yeah. It's a special day.

Let's do this!

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 12:47 AM) Tim Kurkjian recently made a comment of what Thome said to him at spring training when Beckham was in the batters box, saying "Look at this kid, he's going to be something special!" He also said that he reminded him of Manny Ramierez when he first got called up. (Not sure if he was talking about his swing, his poise , or whatever) Maybe someone else saw this on a recent baseball tonight episode and can more accurately quote it His ability to grow dreadlocks.

Peavy sick with respiratory viral infection that's flu related. Out for at least his next start.

Is a marble statue of a torso a bust? Are a pair of breasts a bust? If you stick a pin in a balloon is it a bust?

Each hitter should have a laptop and White Sox scouting should email them DVD video of probable upcoming starting pitchers. Then Walker should hold a meeting prior to batting practice where he goes over the plan of attack. Does anyone know if he does anything but suggest hitting styles?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 09:21 PM) People weren't scared when they faced Glavine. I meant that Glavine was a good left handed pitcher as well. Pedro and Clemens and Carlton were all intimidating.

QUOTE (CWSOX45 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) Also do the White Sox have a minor league video program, or a minor league video coordinator? How do all these young starters continue to dominate us? It seems to be an organizational problem that has lingered for quite some time. I've wondered this as well. Can it take that much work in the You Tube age to find videos of these guys for the hitters to watch?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 08:33 PM) not much the guy hasn't accomplished...300 wins ....outside shot at 5000 Ks....Perfect game, no hitter in both leagues, Multiple Cy Youngs, World Series champ + MVP, 20 Ks (19 twice) 20 game winner 3 times...easily the best lefthander I've ever seen....quite arguably the best pitcher of this generation...clemens and maddux the only others in the conversation Carlton was a better lhp. Glavine was up there too. Don't forget about Pedro Martinez when it comes to dominance too.

So, you're going to let this personal attack stay here and not delete it before Balta sees it?
