Is this happening tonight guys?

I'm sorry. The correct answer is Carlos Quentin.

It really wasn't called by the term "change-up" until at least the 1950s. Before that, it was likely known as an off-speed or "slow-ball" pitch. It was also known as a veteran's pitch. One used by guys trying to hang on in the majors that were losing their fast-ball. It didn't become devastating until the late '80s to early '90s, when Leo Mazzone started to teach it to guys. Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz and the successful Atlanta Braves pitching staff made it popular. Santana, Hoffman, Gagne and others - made it a standard pitch. A well-located 89-92 mph fastball and a devastating change-up are the two deadliest things in a pitcher's arsenal. Forget heat - If you have location and accuracy, that batter is dead to rights.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 15, 2008 -> 12:44 PM) If the draft was moved to any night outside of Thurs and Fri, I'll join. Real men can preset rankings.

Brad Johnson's going to be the fall guy in this scenario.

Will Roy Williams be covering Roy Williams in practice?

Stopgaps aren't what the Sox need. They are still in competing mode. As a OF option, I want nothing to do with Rocco Baldelli.

Gonna be confusing jersey-wise in Dallas now.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 13, 2008 -> 08:45 PM) The possibility of the Sox acquiring a new SS and 2B this off-season is... remote.

We need more guys! The draft is Thursday. Please join!

QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 14, 2008 -> 07:21 AM) I heard that Jerry Reinsdorf said that as long as Derrick Rose is in a Chicago Bulls Uniform, no player on the White Sox will wear #1. Why? That makes no sense. That would be like retiring #1 because Barrack Obama wore it.

Why not retire 05 then?

Not even the best thing involving head.

You sig needs to be updated Joey.

Cubs fan aside, I always thought of Murph as if your grandpa did sports radio. Kind of homey and comforting.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 12, 2008 -> 01:59 PM) The poor part of this logic is that you think the only purpose of these findings was to sway voters minds, or sway approval ratings. Oh, people don't care so it doesn't matter if she abused her office. That's pathetic. The American voting public is so polarized that, a Vice Presidential candidate getting an ex-brother-in-law fired on technicalities is hardly scandal-worthy. Any boss has to show just cause for firing someone at any job. If it involves nit-picking their work in order to fire them, then it happens. What she did may have been bad, it may have been ruled to be excessive/abusive, but it is legal and it happens everywhere.

What about 23? Ventura/Dye day.

A poor segue I know but, don't you just hate it when you throw up and it goes into your sinuses? That is pain, man.

QUOTE (StatManDu @ Oct 9, 2008 -> 10:53 AM) Were the 2008 White Sox the slowest Sox team ever? Consider ... *The 13 triples were an all-time franchise low *The 67 steals were the fewest by a Sox team since the 1977 team swiped 42 Actually, it was the 1877 Chicago White Stumps of the old Legless League that were slower.
