3E8

Someone on the whitesox.com board said Carlos Lee is not going to be in the lineup tonight due to his crashing into the wall yesterday. Can anyone veryify this?

Maybe since Hudson is on the DL Oakland will want us to take him off their hands.

Dammit I was just going to say that!

Look at all those strikeouts!

As for professional hitters, when they sit on a certain pitch they adjust their timing. They don't physically look at the ball and guess what the pitch is when they see it traveling through the air. If you sit on a changeup, you adjust your timing to swing a fraction later than you would fastball. So it doesn't matter what the ball looks like coming out of Santana's hand, they just have to follow it and swing based on their best estimate of the changeup's time of flight. In other words, they know what they are swinging for before the pitch is thrown. There should be no guessing like your post implies. Last outing, he was beating everyone on changeups low and away. I just think we can be successful if we look for it late in counts.

Shouldn't that have a green tint?

Although Frank played each day when we swept Minnesota at their place, he may as well have not been in the lineup. He went 2-11 in that series. We didn't have Everett at that time either. We can win without Frank and Maggs. Timo went 6-12 in that series, I hope he's starting every day.

If we look for Santana's change up, he will be unsuccessful.

You can't hypothesize like that.

Package Garland and prospects for Randy. Please?

Gload's baserunning on Rowand's double was atrocious. Big turning point in the game. Timo should always play over him.

Well I'm being overly optomistic, but I think he has a shot at top five.

At the end of the year he will.

He'll be about 10th after tonight.

If he keeps this up he could be in the hunt for the batting title.

I just made a new sig dedicated to a big key for the Sox down the stretch, Aaron Rowand. Keep up the great playing!

I agree with you that a change of scenery did Carl good, but I don't think that was a factor in the success of the other two. Delgado gets paid $20 million a year, and his numbers now are pathetic. I'm not saying we don't need to go out and get another bat, but the organization should be wise in any deals. We've given up a lot of talent already this year. There are guys out there who can help us that won't cost an arm and a leg.

What do you like about him? His .209 BA? His 38 RBI's? His 11 HR's? :banghead

I'd like to add also that picking up Delgado would be a terrible move.

Didn't Herm say just yesterday that it was nothing to worry about?

I misspoke. What teams would not only be interested in him as a rent-a-player but also willing to give him a new contract starting in 2005 with those large figures he is looking for?

What teams would be willing to take on Magglio's contract next year if we were to trade him?

4-1 with Sox.

Don't forget MLB-worst Arizona.

Does anybody have the lineup yet?
