QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 06:47 PM) FYI, Dunn on the waiver wire. Thread on it in the trade winds. This could not mean less for the Sox.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 06:44 PM) Fangraphs, along with the MLB network, are the two greatest things to happen to baseball fans EVER! Quick Pitch on Sunday nights might be my favorite show of the week. I love the series recaps, and I especially love it when the Sox have a good weekend.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 06:41 PM) I had never really looked that deeply into the fangraphs website for some crazy reason, but this is great stuff. I'm trying to avoid going to that site, cause I feel once I start, I won't stop and that will be my bible.

Even in a 7 run outing, I still get a kick out of seeing Beckham ground out to the pitcher.

I leave for lunch, at Juan goes deep? WTF! Pitchers without a good offspeed pitch have little chance against our hitters right now.

Great job by Buehrle limiting the damage.

Way to go Juan...I love the ability to start innings our 7-8-9 has shown lately.

BTW, Ozzie should have mixed the lineups up a little bit tonight. Assuming he benches Kotsay, Viciedo, and AJP in the 2nd game, we'll have a lineup full of righties (against a pitcher who's slider is much tougher on righty hitters).

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) Offense not looking very alive. Our hitters just don't seem confident at all on the road, as opposed to extreme confidence at the Cell. Also, the recent struggles of Rios and Quentin since the ASB don't help.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) Yup, career ERA of 4.26 in August, April is the only other month over 4, with a 4.01. (Not counting his two awful March starts) I was waiting for someone to sarcastically point out his March starts. Thanks for doing it in a classy way

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 06:15 PM) Isn't August a historically bad month for Mark? Yes, it's his worst month by far. I also didn't know historically, his ERA is almost .5 runs higher during the 2nd half.

Big fan of Delirium at King's Island.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:19 PM) I don't believe anyone has seen enough of him to actually give a valid opinion. Keith Law has, and he said he sucks

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:25 PM) I think that Kenny just refuses to allow Ozzie to send Viciedo down. Good! You know what might make it an even bigger issue is Mike Rizzo going on all the Chicago sports radio shows yesterday to basically say Viciedo was the reason the Dunn trade wasn't completed. It would look bad for Sox to demote him now. BTW, did anyone else hear Rizzo say that Sox finished 3rd in the Dunn race?

Maybe Threets actually is hurt, as I'm fairly confident that KW and Ozzie wanted 3 lefty relievers in the pen.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:53 PM) Yeah, I think even fathom would finally admit they're dead now, although really they have been for months. Oh yeah, they're completely done. Interesting that Terry Boers' guy said that Zambrano will be released this offseason if they can't trade him while eating all of his salary. Boers also said that Carlos Silva is a terrible human being that no one in the clubhouse can stand.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:50 AM) Matt Joyce has been killing the Twins and just about everybody who plays the Rays. Dude's got an OPS near .900. His AB where he eventually had a 2 RBI single might have been the best AB I've seen all season.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 2, 2010 -> 04:40 AM) Great. Now I can sleep tonight. Fathom, I dunno what you want out of this show...I am watching it right now and think the episodes are pretty good. I liked the draft episode a lot. However, last night's episodes featured like 5 minutes of stuff behind the scenes, and 18 minutes of game highlights, etc. I thought it would have been interesting if they showed the meeting when it was discussed who would be called up for Peavy, etc.

Those episodes tonight were awful. Best part was KW's "hell no" response when asked if he thought the turnaround would be so sudden.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2010 -> 12:36 AM) Quite obviously he didn't win this one. I don't think his comments have anything at all to do with Viciedo, and I would say that your opinion is not accurate in this case from what we've heard.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2010 -> 01:34 AM) Sounds like he found out Dayan is going down soon. Why would Ozzie be upset when he's the one making personnel decisions?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) (you're not in the game thread). Ugh, I do that once every 60k posts

See, Ozzie just wanted to improve Thornton's inherited runners stats.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 08:54 PM) Gavin's going out there again. I guess they want Thornton to get some work with someone on base. It was pretty obvious to everyone that Gavin was done after the 7th.

Wow...ironically, Gavin might have had his worst stuff in 2 months, and he still went 7-1.
