Brian Anderson just tripled off Casey Fossum.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2009 -> 07:16 PM) STOP IT JOSE. 74 pitches through 4, only 39 strikes.

Through 4 innings in Scranton: Brian Anderson: 1 for 2 w/ 1B Jose Contreras: 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K | 74 pitches: 39 strikes, 35 balls

I'm curious as to how much it cost them to change all their signage from a warthog to a penis.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2009 -> 05:25 PM) In 2006 Anderson had roughly the same number of PA's and had a similar average...the only difference is Anderson had a couple home runs. .161/.264/.290/.554 through 72 PA for Brian .141/.235/.254/.488 through 81 PA for Brian at his lowest point .154/.247/.185/.431 through 74 PA for Brent At least Brian had a little pop. Lucky for him he turned it around right after he dipped into the sub .500's; 16 plate appearances later and his OPS was up over .600. Pretty damn good comparison though.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ May 13, 2009 -> 05:15 PM) He crapped his pants in the playoffs ala Javy Vazquez, not John Danks. Aren't those the "intangibles?" It also helps that he was near the top in run support last season. Gavin got THE best run support in the game last year. Last season in the AL 28 pitchers logged 180+ IP, Gavin Floyd got significantly more run support than the rest. Per 9 IP Gavin Floyd got 8.51 runs of support while the pitcher of record, #2 Mike Mussina got 7.82 and #16 John Danks got 6.51, two full runs less than Gavin. 1.) Floyd 8.51 2.) Mussina 7.82 3.) Garland 7.78 - 9.) Buehrle 7.00 10.) Vazquez 6.96 - 16.) Danks 6.51 - 24.) Byrd 6.00 - 28.) G. Smith 4.73

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 13, 2009 -> 04:29 PM) Do you think Lillibridge is the worst hitter in modern Sox history? Honestly, given the amount of PA's he's already accumulated I'd say yes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2009 -> 01:26 PM) Fields is 8/41 in May, hitting under .200. 3 for 23 since switching numbers.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ May 13, 2009 -> 01:02 PM) By all means, correct me. Statistically speaking, who is the worst AL starter of 2009? Carlos Silva

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2009 -> 01:07 PM) Why can't Lillibridge learn some of that? Pods is hitting .273 on complete crap hits. I'm totally going to take that from anyone. Lillibridge used up all his luck on injuries to teammates to keep himself in the lineup.

My god, Podsednik.

Hawk isn't used to having a right fielder with a little range out there.

This will be the 6th time in 33 games that the White Sox have been shutout by an opponent.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2009 -> 12:50 PM) I hope his heel really isn't that bad, I'm not sure I like risking this for a game we're down 4-0. Ozzie said before the game that he'd be eligible to pinch hit, I'm sure he was healthy enough to start today, that's Ozzie's thing.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 13, 2009 -> 12:49 PM) PINCH HIT! YES! Carlos to the rescue!

PINCH HIT!

Nix RF Podsednik LF Getz 2B Konerko 1B Pierzynski C Feilds 3B Betemit DH Ramirez SS Lillibridge CF All it's missing is a little Corky Miller.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2009 -> 12:35 PM) On the bench right now, we have: Quentin (hurt) Thome (hurt, only useful as DH) Corky Miller ©. If anyone else gets hurt or tossed, what pitcher comes in to play the field? Quentin. He's eligible to pinch hit and should be in the lineup Friday, it wouldn't be optimal but he'd play the field for the final 2 innings.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 13, 2009 -> 12:32 PM) Who do we have on the bench who can actually play OF if he does? The Podsednik, Nix, Lillibridge OF? This has to be one of the worst outfields in White Sox history.

EJECTION #1 for Ozzie this year

JD's getting suspended.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ May 13, 2009 -> 12:29 PM) I dont remember him- what team was he on? '92 .191/.211/.236/.447, 26 OPS+ which actually makes him a better hitter than Lillibridge

Haha, Podsednik has a horse shoe planted firmly up his ass. 8 hits this year and not a one was impressive.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ May 13, 2009 -> 12:16 PM) Lillibridge is the worst player we've had since Andy Gonzalez Lillibridge has been significantly worse than Andy Gonzalez. He's our worst player since Esteban Beltre.

3 hits!
