Durham was one of my favorite White Sox of all time. I really do miss him. I remember one of my 1st games where he was signing autographs above the dugout and he was having a conversation with all the fans. It was really great to see.
I've always thought he'd end up back on the Sox. Great play by OC....thank you Ramirez!

Remember when he would at least get a walk here and there.
We also were facing some pitchers with control issues, like Dontrelle Willis

Paulie is jerking his head incredibly bad up there. There is no way he is saying the ball to the bat.
It's cause he's cheating so much in order to avoid being jammed. He put some good passes on those outside fastballs. If we're not placing him on the DL, we just have to hope he finds a way to adjust.

If you were to guess it based off Soxtalk gameday posts you'd think it was in the low 6's and that he was a complete waste of money that we're stuck with now. He's generally been pretty damn effective. Of course he's had a couple bad outings but what pitcher doesn't?
I haven't seen many bad things posted about Linebrink at all since the season started.
I'd be interested in knowing what the batting average from our leadoff spot has been this season, as well as the batting average from the clean-up spot.

I honestly don't remember the last time Cabrera hit one hard.
He's hit a couple of balls hard to the outfielders, but nothing that made them run for it. I was more surprised there by how slow he was.

I seem to remember one game where Buehrle was the 'closer'.
Exactly, it doesn't get more perfect that PK trying to steal this season.
QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 17, 2008 -> 05:15 AM)
He was definitely safe. It seemed like it took him forever to get there when the camera zoomed out. Even PK could have been safe there.
PK is to base stealing as Mark Buehrle is to closing games.

The Sox have 4 guys in the lineup who I will be shocked if they get a hit today: OC, PK, Ramirez, and Floyd. Hopefully CQ or Crede can have a big night.
Ok, maybe one hit
