QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 03:59 AM) And who bats leadoff the rest of this year and next year? Pods has been one of our better f***ing hitters this year. The only reason we are even f***ing sniffing first place. To just throw him out would be the dumbest thing this organization could do after lookin for a leadoff hitter. I totally agree with this. I like the idea of having a 4 person rotation in the outfield with some time to take at DH as well. However, I still think this could have a really negative impact on the clubhouse THIS YEAR. As for 2010 and forward, I'm all for it.

We face a pitcher with a sensational sinker tomorrow. Better hope our "grinders" carry the load tomorrow. Dye should get the game off for Kotsay as well.

Benching Pods for Rios would very possibly have a very bad impact on the clubhouse, in my opinion.

So Wise is considered a better option to get on base than Getz? Interesting

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 03:40 AM) Where will he play? (In my best Hawk voice) It better be CF

This is misleading, as Olney said it was only a guess as of right now.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 02:33 AM) Unless Toronto is going to take $30 million of the $62 million in salary. Then you probably can give up an Infante + Shelby + Retherford, something like that. Maybe even you give up Torres. If Rios costs only $32-$40 million over the next 6 years, it's an OK pick up. But the $62 million sucks up a lot of money that you could be using to, say, lock up Beckham long term. Yep, between that and the Peavy deal, that's a ton of money we would be tying up. If you do that, better hope they live up to their expecations.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 03:32 AM) The middle of our line up sucks c*ck. It's home run or nothing for the 3-4-5 now it seems. What was the count when Thome K'd?

So Rios has about 6 years and 62 million remaining on his contract? If KW wants him, you don't even think of trading prospects for him.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 02:15 AM) When Jordan Danks slumps, he really slumps. The more I see Danks season progress, the more I think 2011 should be his estimated time for making the majors.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:50 AM) DWise just guaranteed himself 100 more ABs this year. When the replacement would be Kotsay, does it even matter?

Haha DWise!! Very nice

D. Wise leads the world in pitches down the plate taken for strike.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:48 AM) Seriously. If ever we were due a f***ing bloop. OMIT vs Angels in 2005!!

How about an OMIT flare

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:47 AM) He is the starting RF on the best team in baseball....while the Sox are trying to replace him with Pods, Wise and Kotsay...that is a nice f*** you to the White Sox if I have ever seen one and on top of that may have taking what little heart the Sox had left out of them. agreed, considering the pathetic return we got for him, it's an even bigger kick in the balls

QUOTE (rudylaw @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:46 AM) Why? As I recall he is bad. It was a joke. I do have no confidence at all in AJP here.

Times like this I wish we had Lillibridge on the bench to hit.

Konerko's best swing in a while.

Anyone else thinking in their head "how many batters until Beckham bats?"

Keep swinging for the fences Jermaine.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:38 AM) How many walkoff wins do we have? Only one I can think of with Beckham vs Cubs.

We have no walkoff homers this year.

Why do the Cardinals keep pitching Wellemeyer? Just DFA him already. He's been one of the Cubs best players this year.
