Buehrle>Wood

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 03:25 PM) Reason there is little information being leaked about this trade could be because it involves more than just two teams Or they're just waiting for Konerko to accept his NTC. We can pray.

I have learned to like my third baseman without back problems. That said, I believe the Marlins have asked for a ton for him.

The Ghostbusters game as well as a few other high profile games look like they will canceled.

After being a b**** for ditching out on us for two years, the man, the myth, the legend whitesoxjr has returned to soxtalk.

The pitch was flat out hung out there.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 05:50 AM) isn't really all that attractive Go home and rethink your life. But yeah, that song is brutal.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 04:04 AM) Brian Anderson has a terrible defensive inning in the 5th. And has been good otherwise in the field. Konerko has been terrible otherwise, in all facets of the game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:56 AM) After his last two swings, I think he should be playing. His should be replacements had some nice swings too. Paulie still killed us with his defense tonight, and shouldn't keep playing based on a single and a hard out.

"Ozzie is leaving Konerko in the line-up" Oh f***.

Carlos hates pitches.

That was a bomb.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:38 AM) Hawk probably wonders every night before he goes to bed how the hell the Twins aren't undefeated. Why is he so pissed when the Twins take the lead? Every game he talks them up like they are the greatest team of all time. Because they are when we play them in the dome. We're the only team he watches, it's all he knows.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:25 AM) No, Swisher PH for him because a righty was on the mound. Playing match-ups so early with your number 2 hitter is certainly odd. Someone make an Ozzie crack.

Why did Hawk say no chance right away when DJ could have had him if he took a straight line to the ball?

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 12:48 AM) oh yeah that will get you far in life being the chat "warrior" you are Read above. Chat take precedent over life's petty obligations.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 11:46 PM) I've heard the call to arms and will be there. No pathetic excuses like work or family obligations will be tolerated. I have finals tomorrow and I'll still be there when I should be studying. It shows the true chat warrior that I am.

I expect a huge crowd tonight.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 08:38 PM) Technically he's right. You go back 10 years and right now Swisher would be thought of as one of the bigger busts of the off-season (in terms of acquisitions). But he's wrong in his analysis. Those stats are monitored for a reason now; they are important. Batting average isn't the most important statistic. We've grown smarter since that line of thought was the popular one.

QUOTE (Maxwell @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 08:21 PM) He isn't basically Juan Uribe. If he was, you'd love him for buying you dinner. Come one, that's gold right there.

Since he committed today, and as of the now the Illini would be out of scholis, would it be safe to assume Jamar is off the team?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) Honestly, I think it is more than just being stupid when it comes to Jamar and drinking. I think he has a real substance abuse problem which it appears he has not overcome. I don't think you could possibly know that. College kids drink. A lot. Doesn't make him different from the norm.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 07:14 PM) Always Sunny In Philadelphia. There's something about the actors (esp. Danny DeVito) in this show which makes viewing it a chore. Die. The correct answers are South Park and definitly Scrubs. Anyone who says Entourage isn't a guy. Don't get me wrong, I usually hate even slightly campy shows. But it's like trying to hate on the movie 300; if you do so, you better hand over you man-card.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 04:51 PM) Not really. Its some walks. Swisher has 6 career steals and bats 7th. Walks with your 8th and 9th batters coming up aren't as valuable as walks with the best hitters coming up, plus he plays an offensive position. His slugging pct. is virtually identical to Uribe's last year. His average is about the same. He strikes out even more. The board wanted Uribe released. The board obviously loves walks and wants Swisher to play 1B. Why do you keep acting like the walks only mean something if you have speed? Swish is hardly ideal, but he's still 1000 times better than Konerko, and the difference is we only have a replacement for one of them. That's why all the hate is going towards Paulie now. Swish still does at least one thing well, unlike Paulie. That one thing is getting on base, which does mean a lot whether you like it or not. His walks have at least led him to score a pretty good 13 runs so far this month. And I believe he is borderline top 20 in the AL in runs scored. Simply getting on base will do wonders for you. That said he still needs to pick up his play elsewhere.
