QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 11:46 PM) Has Blum helped us win any games? He could have won tonight's game at the plate and didn't. He just hasn't done anything. Util players aren't going to win you many games. There were 8 other guys with a chance to win the game tonight and failed. That's hardly a reason to dislike a player.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) It wasn't a bad game even. He was 1 for 5. He hit the ball hard 4 out of his 5 ABs.

I know they're not perfect but I made a few Smileys. Texas: Illinois: Chicago:

QUOTE(lord chas @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 10:55 PM) yep borchard should have pinch hit for dye. if ozzie wouldnt use him why even bring him up Why would you pinch hit a player like Borchard for one of your best hitters?

He really shouldn't even be off 1B on that play. Gooch is the winning run at second, Carl is pretty meaningless. If that ball is fielded on a hop it's an easy DP, if it gets through, Gooch scores and the game is over.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 10:02 PM) What's Jenks' nickname? Bad Bobby Jenks

Tad

This is gonna stick too. When Hawk gives you a nickname, it stays with you for your Baseball life.

Bobby Jenks now officially has a nickname.

From now on he shall be known as "Bad Bobby Jenks"

Pitcher: Garland/Hermanson Hitter: Konerko Overall: Konerko

People may hate him but the guy hits the ball hard and is not a horrible offensive player. I like Geoff Blum.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) If you are going to talk baseball intelligently, don't butcher the numbers. I love how you attack my credibility. It's not hard to massage numbers to make them fit your argument.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) He went 6 for 12 against Texas pitching. Since then, in 9 games, he's 7 for 31, with 1 HR, 2 runs, and 4 RBI in the middle of the lineup. You still think he's "hot"?? Uribe and Konerko. They are hot. If you are going to talk baseball intelligently, don't butcher the numbers. Or how about he was hot over an 11 game span but has cooled off the past 2 games. Aug. 28 - Sept. 6 (11 gms): 16-41 (.390 BA) HOT Aug. 28 - Aug. 31 (5 gms): 9-20 (.450 BA) HOT Sept. 1 - Sept. 6 (6 gms): 7-21 (.333 BA) HOT Sept. 7 - Sept. 8 (2 gms): 0-8 (.000 BA) COLD

QUOTE(VAfan @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) You missed the point, obviously. What is your measure of someone who's "hot"? .329 batting average over 13 games when he was previously hitting .270 before that stretch.

Rowand is 16 for his last 49 (.327 BA). He's walked 24 times all season, he hasn't shown great plate discipline this year, I don't expect him to start taking walks all of a sudden.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 08:53 PM) He's 7 for 29 with 2 walks in September. When did that become "hot"?? That is awful. Ross Gload went 45 for 107 in AAA in August with 7 HRs, 14 2Bs, 24 runs scored and 24 RBI. That's hot. That's AAA

QUOTE(VAfan @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) Maybe I should have put the "leg kick" in green. But "hot of late"??? Who are you watching. He's got a .266 OBP in the month of August, and its bumped all the way up to .290 in September. That sucks. Check his game log. He's hot.

Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow.

Actually the postseason rotation will not be a dilemma for Ozzie at all. He'll pitch the hottest guys at the moment in the playoffs and in an order that will set them up for the best chance to win.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 07:18 PM) We are Bears fans arent we? Are we really in position to trash talk We were good in '01 and we won the Super Bowl in '85. Yeah, you're right, we don't have much to hang our hats on.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 07:12 PM) Buehrle gettin hammered already, 2-0 Angels He's not getting hammered he's getting singled.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 07:10 PM) It's a double edged sword. Because of the HD, I'm forced to listen to Hawk and DJ. And during football season, I can't listen to Joniak/Thayer. Football in HD makes me tingely. It pisses me off that I can't listen to the radio during Bears games because of that damn delay.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 07:05 PM) I hate WCIU but i also love mlb.tv that is all. I f***ing hate WCIU, they're blatant lack of an HD channel pisses me off to no end.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 07:02 PM) Please fathom don't let one game cloud your thinking. Shingo sucked many many times this year. I did hope though that he might stay in Charlotte and try to work out his pitchinbg problems, but I am happy he caught on with the Mets. Of course at this writing he blew another game for the Mets. :banghead :banghead :banghead Add another to the list.
