Any metric that has Jackson higher than Humber this year is bogus to me

If we are gonna lose I really wish Lillibridge could be involved. Be nice to see if he can start hitting again

Jackson will be moved to the bullpen next week is my guess. Guy is costing himself a lot of money

He's been good with no one on but him and Rios have been a disaster with RISP and 2 outs. Maybe he should be our leadoff hitter.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 09:04 PM) This ump is terrible, for and against Marmol. For three years, I've suggested Marmol gets a bigger plate than anyone. You usually don't see guys so wild get the benefit from the umps as much as he does.

Johnson dive to catch the ball?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) Reed Johnson just saved Marmol an XBH given up. Quade smart to not have Soriano out there right now in LF. It's unreal the seasons that Johnson and Baker are having. I'm happy we're only pitching one lefty against them.

Yankees fans having a meltdown over getting shut down by Doug Davis.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 07:34 PM) You gettin' some info, or just a gut? No info, I just think a bad weekend by Pierre and it will be Viciedo time.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) I assume Doug Davis would be facing the Sox on Wednesday. We all know how well the Sox usually fare against "crafty" lefties. Be nice if Viciedo will be in the lineup, and I think he just might be.

The Wendy's Caramel Apple Vanilla Frosty's are top notch

Jeff Marquez sighting!

Seriously Yankees, getting no hit thru 3 by Doug Davis? Thanks Ron Roenicke for waking up the Cubs. They win this series, and they'll come into the Cell with a lot more confidence than they had a week ago.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 08:07 PM) You're seriously using a nickname as a reason? And now you're changing from "decent" to "good". With Dayan's offensive potential, if he provides decent defense with a cannon arm that will be sufficient Heck, for as bad as Soriano's defense was for the Cubs a few years ago, teams were still scared to run on him on a single to left.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 08:04 PM) I am guessing, but can you envision a guy named "Tank" being a good defender? I'm still all for bringing him up now. Can you imagine a speedy outfielder having no range and not knowing how to catch a ball?

Lillibridge would be a good match-up against Hudson, as he's mostly a fastball/change-up pitcher. Lillibridge seems to struggle more with the pitchers that can throw offspeed pitches in the dirt.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 07:47 PM) Be careful here. We may be seeing Dunn in LF sometime in the next few days. Should be fun! Oh darn, is he going to have a weak arm and drop fly balls and be scared of the wall?

Since the A's series, seems like we're going to be facing a lot of teams playing some of their best ball of the year. Twins/Dbacks/Cubs/Nats. Hey Ozzie, do not pitch to Upton in a walkoff situation.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 07:40 PM) Who has been riding Edwin's dick? Scott Kazmir

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 06:38 PM) Yeah but also get ready for some butcher work in the outfield, similar to Juan, maybe even worse. You can't convince me the Tank is going to be a decent defender. You cannot be worse defensively than Pierre has been this year.

Gotta love the big budget battle between Cubs and Yankees with a pitching match-up of Garcia vs Doug Davis.

Hunter Pence is a fun player to watch as well

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 06:13 PM) It's actually hilarious Viciedo hasn't been on there this year. I do agree with this. Too often this year, it's been a resource to promote Royals/Rays prospects. I know their farm systems are great, but they seem to favor those guys more.

It seems like we haven't had anyone make the Hot Sheet this year, but finally Eduardo Escobar showed up this week. Problem is, it was in the "not hot" section.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 06:59 PM) Someone needs to be bound for the Bullpen. That will work itself out tonight
