Whomever decided to impose the early attack model against Slowley needs to be hired by the Twinks. Slowley is not a strikeout pitcher, you dont need to get to him early for fear of getting 2 strikes.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 09:10 PM) Not many are arguing that a move would be nice. Creating a realistic scenario is much harder to accomplish. With some of the bloated salaries on the payroll, along with a thin minor league system, Williams is pretty hamstrung with anything to do. It's pretty much sink or swim from here on out with the club we have. Lets hope they swim.They have all season. I am at the point where I would rather have Anderson out in CF everyday with Swish playing first, understanding that Anderson wont hit but will provide great defense for us instead of waiting for konerko to come out of it.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 08:27 PM) you have to laugh. it's been like this since 2000. A house of f***ing horrors. And this is why they usually pass us in August, and we sit home. We are just behind Texas for most errors committed. s***ty defense + homer only offense + pitching starting to get into a funk = usual PASB Whitesox Baseball Catch the fever.

It might be nice if our team would man up, and play well coming towards august in the Twinkie dome. We seem to have this habit of going up there, and completely s***ting the bed. And on the way out, breaking our arms tipping our caps to some band of no namers who just detroyed us. Man the f*** up.

Slowely is a pud and can be hit. Lets stop swinging for the tarp, and lets put something together.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 06:38 PM) Watching the 1.2M feed I'm like 30 seconds behind. Listening to these two boobs from Motown radio is enough to make me puke. Oh and Fields is good at defense according to the Mensa members on the radio.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 06:30 PM) Fields has no chance. Just look at his swing. He's bringing his hands forward and than back. There is no f***ing way he's going to consistently hit with that start to a swing. It makes it completely impossible for him to get a good fastball without completely cheating. Good to see that our minor league instruction allows these large flaws in the swing to get through without any change.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 02:13 PM) The Indians have reportedly acquired Anthony Reyes from the Cardinals for Luis Perdomo. And the day just keeps getting better for Cleveland. Stealing Reyes away for a relief prospect is a great trade for the Indians. Perdomo is promising and has a chance of developing into a setup man, but Reyes still has what it takes to become a reliable starter and should be helped by the change of scenery. Reyes would of been a nice guy to get under Coops watch. The makeup is there, the tools are there.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 11:00 PM) I want to tip my cap to Floyd. He had piss poor defense behind him and didn't have much command of his curve ball and still battled through 6 innings giving up just 4 runs (3 earned). And you could honestly say at least one other should have not scored. This team defense is a serious issue though, Sox can't just continue to give away outs and runs. Farmer and Stone were talking about how the Sox are second in the AL in committing errors. Lots of free outs.

Why Alexei Ramirez isnt a star. Have fun guys, this guy allows comments.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 06:58 PM) Well, to be fair, that's not exactly the Josh Fields selling point. I was more talking about Cabrera and Crede this year. How many errors this year. he should of got to that ball.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 06:54 PM) That was the definition of a seeing eye single. The gold glove defense that we have been told about on the left side of this infield this year has left a lot to be desired.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 02:04 AM) She's blonde, she was a cheerleader (or dancer? either one is fantastic), she's gorgeous, and she loves sports. You find me a more attractive woman than that, and I'll call you a filthy liar. Megan Fox waves to the crowd.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 11:12 PM) I'm going to state this once and only once and if it happens again I'm going to freak the f*** out - just a warning. The Braves will not trade Chipper Jones. There, I'm done, I've said my bit, and don't you dare bring it up again. But if I press X, Y, X, X ,A , X, B, RT, LT, left, left, right, up, down and LT and RT at the same time while hitting the X button, crazy and illogical trade option is unlocked.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 09:48 AM) In what world does trading OC in a walk year translate to another team's young starting 3B, a star in the making OF'er or a top prospect? Oh that right, xbox world. The bonus feature with Cabrera is his Class A free agent status. Those pics are worth something as well. I am not sure its as big as people think, but it does add to his value.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 05:46 PM) Nope, wasn't me. It might have been SSI71 or someone from WSI? It wasn't me. I am working too many hours these days to have time to watch the games religiously. That pic originated over at Cheats blog. If you remember, I brought it here. You turned it into an avatar. And now only the coolest of the cool have it.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 12:44 AM) The coverage I've seen on Obama has been mainly positive. I have heard him compared to JFK and Lincoln numerous times. The Rev Wright thing got a lot of attention, but the MSM pretty much defended him and would put on an expert after the news story that would explain away any possible issues with Obama being so close to the guy. FOX news went crazy, of course, and played it 24/7 and trashed Obama; but we aren't arguing if FOX is blatently pro-GOP, as they clearly are. The media also likes to focus attention on stories that will help Obama, such as having a big story about nuclear waste accidents immediately after McCain argues there should be more nuclear power plants. Another example is showing a video of some poor woman dying on a hospital room floor to coincide with why we need Obama's health care plan. That story would not have been national news if it wasn't an election year and they didn't feel it would help the Democrats. Selection of news stories is very interesting, especially when you map it with what Obama is saying in his speeches. There seems to be a direct relation to what the media focuses on as to correlate with a boost for Obama. Of course, there is the argument of "well, Obama is merely speaking to important issues, and the news media is covering these issues." Well, these exact same issues have been around for years, yet they only now decide to go with them. They basically seem to be taking their walking orders form the DNC, even though I doubt they do; they merely are mostly Democrats and think that everyone else should be convinced to see things the same way they do. That is a major problem with having an echo chamber of a newsroom, everyone has the same world view and it is often different than the experiences of the majority of Americans, thus the lack of trust from large portions of the populace. The MSM has treated Obama as the next great president, and he may well be, but currently he is largely a creation of the media (as McCain was). Unfortunately for McCain, the media has found someone new to gravitate towards and has already begun the hero worship. McCain was a favorite as he was challenging G.W Bush; your enemies enemy is your fried, I suppose, in the MSM. It's another election year and the MSM swings into full American Idol mode, and Obama is their new favorite crooner. Another example of balanced media being objective. You can read about the rock stars world tour and get up to the minute information from O-Bama one. The suntimes I am sure is going to have McCain one with his rockstar tour as well. Sure they are.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 10:15 PM) Konerko hit the ball pretty well tonight. He had a hit and his rbi force out was ripped. Ramirez hit the ball hard just about everytime as well. My man Uribe with 2 doubles. I'm sure if he's in the line-up tomorrow scores will be b****ing. Your man as the super sub is fine. Thats the position he excelled at before, and can excel at again. He is one of these guys who needs motivation to play well. Resting Crede and giving his back time to heal is not a bad thing. I wouldnt mind seeing Uribe out at 3rd tomorrow. Rest Crede up for the Tigers and Twins. When Crede's back gets messed up, his swing gets long.

Konerko with a golden opportunity, 2 men on no outs against a pitcher who is bad.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 06:50 PM) OC is pulling everything! What the hell happened to his use all field approach? He became a sox player.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 06:43 PM) Crede had a stiff back. 19 errors, 250 batting average, stiff back after major surgery. Well I am sold, 5 years 55 million sounds good to me.

Ozzie on postgame interview: We swung the bat good. We hit the ball real good.

Jamey Wright just struck out the side. LMAO
