QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:02 AM) for those that want AJ gone, there are no better options out there he should be batting 9th and platooning with a RHH You actually trust Ozzie to handle a platoon correctly? Especially one with a veteran and a likely young player?

Why is Danks still in this game? Everything is up in the zone, and Hardy's had good swings vs him all night.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:00 AM) Unbelievable. And Rios' defense has been s*** of late. He sucks so much at coming in on the ball.

Rios and his pathetic 2nd half continues. Just a terrible player the last 3 months.

Pull him Ozzie. Delmon also needs a pitch in his f***ing back.

Feel like we lucked out that Hudson didn't get Konerko out at home.

Whew, found a hole. Give us a thrill AJP

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 02:36 AM) Check in on this trade after 6 years, because that's how long the Sox would have had him under team control. And no it still doesnt negate the value if they both suck, because we atleast dont have another $8 million on our payroll next year. That is a huge hit considering our limitations and the big salaries we have on the team right now. Proud of you russ for this response!!

I normally would never say this, but I'd have Lillibridge bat and ask him to bunt here.

Hell of a play by Konerko there

Caught a break there, as Beckham never really caught the ball.

Way to give us life Alexei!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 01:33 AM) I know, I know...I should give them more credit but when I watch them pitch they are very underwhelming. But maybe that's their strength, the fact that they throw a ton of strikes and turn it over to a terrific defense behind them. And they don't leave a lot over the plate. Trust me, there's no one more frustrated than I am when Duensing goes 8 innings, 1 run with mediocre stuff. Slowey and Baker seem to just throw 92 mph fastballs down the plate, and they have strong outings as well. Good post Ginger

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 01:21 AM) It's bad when you've got to go back to the Danks/Floyd trades to find the last good one KW's made. Yep, KW has been TERRIBLE at his job ever since the 2008 season ended. I don't really know how anyone could do worse. The returns on the Swisher and Vazquez trade really couldn't have been more mediocre, and has killed the depth in this franchise.

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 01:19 AM) What exactly has Edwin Jackson done beside make more money to make this trade seem lopsided in Hudson's way? Was it pitching in (sort of, at least for a little bit) a pennant race while Hudson pitches (very well of course) for the dead last place D'backs? Jackson was great for a month, but he's seemed to have faded down the stretch as well. All I know is we're about 3 months away from all wishing that KW would have never made that trade to use the extra money to fill the huge holes on this team that are going to open up.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 02:22 AM) You can't take away credit from minny -- they're now closing in on home field advantage in the AL. They've made a great push and are just playing extremely well with what i think is a very average rotation after Liriano. No offense, but when are people going to give their pitching credit? Duensing has been absolutely amazing this season. Pavano's been stellar all season, and he really stepped up when Liriano was struggling. Blackburn's actually throwing the ball very well since he returned as well. I'm just so sick of people saying we have a better staff than they do.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 02:18 AM) This team looks dead, Hawk sounds dead. Cmon guys, have some life in your game. This team died last Wednesday. As soon as that 7 game winning streak ended, everything went down with this team. You could see it in their body language on the field and in their remarks off the field. Hopefully we can start shutting down some of our starting pitchers that ONCE AGAIN tanked down the stretch.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 02:09 AM) i can't blame manny, that was a nasty pitch Problem with Manny is he absolutely cannot catch up to a high fastball anymore. He's been absolutely dominated by any fastball 94 mph+ above the belt. He finally hit one good before, but he had to cheat so much because of the lack of bat speed. I really, really hope KW doesn't bring him back next season with thoughts of him being a run producer.

I still give kudos to Delmon for absolutely destroying the White Sox during his career. Over a .350 hitter now vs the Sox since he started. I guess Ozzie trying to act like the moral compass for MLB and hitting him in his MLB debut was uncalled for?

Another quality AB by Quentin against a LHP. I'd rather Lillibridge play against LHP, but it's a joke that Jones isn't facing these lefties.

Nice AB Manny...please retire

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 02:06 AM) I'd guess 25k. Wow, that's absolutely terrible. Needless to say, the Manny acquisition has been an absolute disaster so far.

Rios has now struck out as many times in the 2nd half of the season as he did in the 1st half, and that's in 97 less ABs.

Well, another dominate start for Hudson. UGH! Why can't he just be awful to make the trade look a little better?

What's the attendance like tonight?
