Delmon back in time just to face the Sox

I remember hearing Singleton on Baseball Tonight for the first time, and I was shocked at how much better he was than when he was on the radio.

Something funny about Girardi saying "Mo's been shagging for a very long time"

Torn ACL for Rivera...I'm getting tired of seeing the words "Torn ACL"

Lots of great comments in this thread about Viciedo and his potential/history of similar guys

What happened?

Terrible game...tons of chances, just really bad decisions by too many guys.

You're not going to get a better pitch to hit than that.

SWING THE BAT!

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2012 -> 03:05 AM) Nope. We are the White Sox. Too little; too late I'm afraid. Stop

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 4, 2012 -> 04:02 AM) And you are still stuck playing one of them. Unless you can't get enough of the Eduardo Escobar Edventure I thought we were talking about who is the better 2b, Beckham or Getz

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2012 -> 04:03 AM) Also add the fact the Sox have a double power punch in the revitalized Dunn/Konerko. There are a lot of pieces on this team. Yet the puzzle adds up to .500 or a little below. Weird. The 2nd spot in the lineup has negated some of the dynamics of that big time 3/4 combo

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2012 -> 03:00 AM) Maybe not. But he's better than Gordo. Give me Lillibridge over both

Dunn looks dynamite against righties. Manto has done a really good job working on him with his balance.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2012 -> 02:58 AM) I just don't understand why we suck. We got a good leadoff hitter, good starting pitching except for Danks, good defense, adequate bullpen and yet we suck. Sox don't suck, they're just an average team. The defense has cost this team a lot of runs this year, and the ironic thing is a lot of the bad plays have not been called errors. When you have absolute holes in your lineup at the 2, 8 and 9 spots, and a bench who couldn't play worse if it tried....you start seeing why you lose some games.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2012 -> 02:53 AM) So a new coaching staff can't change the Sox dysfunction. There's no possible reason to be this bad at home when the team is good on the road. I still think a lot of damage was done when Ozzie and Kenny tried to construct a team that could win playing small ball. Playing 81 games at the Cell means you better be able to hit the ball out of the park.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 4, 2012 -> 02:50 AM) And that is why Morel is our starting 3B And it's why KW better start getting creative if he wants this team to contend. If he loses hope in this team competing, then by all means, keep playing Morel. I still think Lillibridge has been used horribly this year, and I'm already preparing myself to be disappointing if he's not facing the LHP tomorrow.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 4, 2012 -> 02:50 AM) Escobar=Wilson Betemit Great spring training results fooled the Sox twice into thinking they were going to be productive contributors once the season started. Wilson Betemit has so much more talent than Escobar, it's not even funny.

If Axelrod is going to start vs Cleveland next week, it's pretty dumb to let them see him tonight.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2012 -> 02:47 AM) Was that a hit and run? No need to pull that s*** down by four. WTF happened? I looked away. Nope, just someone losing track of the outs. The frustrating thing is it will overshadow Escobar with one of the dumbest swings of the season on 2-0.

I cannot believe Escobar chased that 2-0 pitch. Some terrible, terrible fundamentals for this team. Please, please send Escobar down so he can continue to be a mediocre minor leaguer.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 4, 2012 -> 03:31 AM) John Danks sure can be easily mistaken for Mike Hampton in a Colorado Rockies uniform, right after that 7/112 he signed way back when. His numbers sure are similar... Can Hampton play 3rd base?

Another great pitch to hit. Man do we suck with the bases loaded this year.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 4, 2012 -> 02:25 AM) yes. just drinking. sorry. Apology accepted, but it could have happened on 5/3/11

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 4, 2012 -> 02:20 AM) Did you mean to say Quentin?
