Wow wow...comically bad. Thornton's going to have to start throwing an offspeed pitch to keep hitters honest. The Bust Brothers combine for that defensive blunder.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:12 AM) I never said it was. I think Richard's a good pitcher. I thought that while y'all were ripping him last year before he got in that groove that raised his trade value. I was a fan of his also, and I also said at the time Richard would be a better pitcher than Buehrle over the next 3 seasons. Hopefully Buerhle can prove me wrong.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:10 AM) Really, the idea that Peavy can't pitch in the AL still isn't right. You don't win the pitching triple crown on a weak team because of ballpark factor. But why does that park not factor into his success among people on here, but Richard's success is all cause of the park?

Fun fact: to this day, Ga Tech/Paul Hewitt apologists blame Austin Jackson for the downfall of the basketball program.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:07 AM) Location, location, location. Richard's pitching in the most extreme pitcher friendly park in a vastly inferior league. Swisher's in a lineup that sports multiple HOFs, all-stars and MVP candidates. Oh believe me, I understand the league differential/location factor...I just wish KW did.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:07 AM) Glad they took Gavin out. He was wearing down. Not sure Thornton isn't wearing down. For real, I'm proud of Ozzie. Also keeps him in a positive frame of mind.

Tony Pena and Matt Thornton need some PFP

Wow, ominous start to this inning.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:03 AM) Happy for Clayton, F Swisher. I'm willing to bet he ends the season around .250 Agreed, happy for Clayton also. He's going to be a very good pitcher in the majors and he's going to make himself a lot of money.

Clayton Richard and Nick Swisher's numbers this year make me vomit.

Why can Milwaukee not hit the Cubs in Milwaukee this season?

Sweet, keeps us in the lead!

He might as well pitch from the wind-up.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:56 AM) Looks like he stands further away from the plate than he did last year. Oh yes, and what makes it worse is his first movement is to open up even more.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 01:55 AM) Because the way to fix a problem caused by a former White Sox reliever is to acquire another! Really?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:54 AM) Why is that "amazing"? First, he's on base more than he has been in recent years. Second, he's got a manger who not only is giving him the green light, but is telling him to get running, as opposed to being conservative. If you're shooting for an 80% stolen base clip, you're going to steal a lot more bases than you will if you shoot for a 95% stolen base clip. He's easily safe more than anyone on our team. He's not the fastest guy, he just has a great feel for it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:53 AM) I'm in no way giving up on Beckham. It's just really deflating when a franchise that's been as inept as the White Sox have been as far as developing their own legitimate minor league talent that a seemingly "sure thing" completely and utterly falls on his face. In a season of extreme disappointment, nobody has signified that more than Gordon. He's gone from someone who some thought could be an MVP contender (that was just silly though) to one of the worst everyday starters in baseball.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 01:51 AM) Yeah, that was a monster season he had in 98'. However, I always forget it because so much of the damage that year came after we were out of contention. I'm amazed at Rios stolen base numbers more than anything.

Can Gavin keep us in the lead in the 6th?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:48 AM) Rios is on pace for one of the most complete offensive seasons ever by a White Sox player not named Frank Thomas. How about Albert Belle's huge year?

Masset got bombed again for the Reds today. I'll be surprised if they don't acquire Jenks or Putz.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 01:46 AM) How much would the Braves/Mets/Phillies pay for Peavy? They wouldn't want him, I honestly believe. Scouts aren't dumb.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 01:42 AM) If he eventually becomes a bust on the level of Brian Anderson, I'll agree with your statement. I'm not ready to rule him out as a very good player -someday. Agreed, but this season has made Josh Fields' season last year look dominate.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 01:42 AM) I'm so pumped to watch it live! That's great, you have to imagine his jerseys are flying off the shelves.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 01:41 AM) Only made it more sweet, my brotha. Exactly...Hawk was too busy getting sandbagged by Yaz to watch the broadcast anyways.
