I'm really beginning to think Pods is our MVP this year.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 10, 2009 -> 03:38 AM) Think we'll see Beckham if we go into extras? No way. If he's not healthy enough to start, then you don't use him as a PH in a worthless game.

QUOTE (CQMVP @ Sep 10, 2009 -> 03:34 AM) I realize these games really don't matter, as we're all but eliminated, but why would Ozzie use Pena? The guy SUCKS SO f***ING HARD. Might as well see if he can be an 8th inning guy for this team next year. Listening to Cooper talk about Pena over the weekend, the White Sox are definitely disappointed in the stuff he's shown.

Tony Pena...yuck. He's the king of the hanging slider.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 9, 2009 -> 01:22 AM) Really? Yes, even Colon in that one Indians start made it through the first inning.

Well, at least he beat the Cubs.

Haha, someone didn't show up tonight. This might be the worst start we've seen all year.

Wow, Torres looks absolutely awful out there. Let's hope he's nowhere near the plans for the #5 spot next year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 9, 2009 -> 01:13 AM) Leadoff walk from Torres = very bad sign to me. Maybe it's just the camera, but it looks like Torres is throwing 60 mph fastballs.

Getz, Beckham, and Dye were just on screen for a good 20 seconds.

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Sep 8, 2009 -> 02:36 AM) I hope we someday get to see a slayer and mr perfect tag team. Wow, I hope we don't more than you would ever know.

Rios is just terrible!! It's amazing how bad the trades we've made since last season ended have translated to on the field production for the 2009 White Sox.

Anyone hear the guy in the stands yell at Ozzie in the top of the inning? That was the highlight of the game so far.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 07:27 PM) I am sure no one has an answer to why, but any guesses why?? Do you think its the hand? I cannot get over how a guy could dominate like he did last year and now looks so pathetic... He's trying to pull everything! It's been that way since day 1 of this season. He's hit probably 5 balls hard to the right side all season.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 07:22 PM) No doubt - next year determines if he's a building block or not. At this point, I'm not so sure Chris Carter won't have a better career than Quentin.

Quentin really looks awful at the plate. Next year is so huge for him.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 07:00 PM) You have no idea how money is going to be spent this off-season. Well if we can afford Chone and also bring back Dye as our DH, then I will be impressed with Reinsdorf.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 06:59 PM) You really have to wonder if those rumors of him being a complete ass hole are true. It seems pretty notable that Dye does not like him from their body language in the outfield on plays where one has to call another off. Of course they're true, they've been around for a few years. He's lazy also.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 07:57 PM) Way to waste a 3-0 count Rios... I really hope he figures it out by next year. Because this isn't going to cut it. To think that we could have just used that money to go after Figgins this offseason and finally solve our leadoff issue.

Something that was extremely noticeable at the game on Friday night was how Rios doesn't talk to anyone in the dugout. As soon as the inning was over, he'd go to his own section in the dugout and no one would come near him. It really seems like a match made in hell so far.

Worst base runner I've ever seen. Please don't overpay for him!

Sam Bradford looks like he just separated his shoulder.

I don't think it would have been possible for Rios to have less of an impact on the team this year. Got to love Quentin not playing tonight due to his acquisition. Oh well, get this game over and pray.

Want to talk about a team that just doesn't care? How about Ozzie not putting Nix in motion on the 3-1 pitch to Pods in the 3rd?

If you're going to quit, at least go down swinging.
