QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 14, 2007 -> 10:54 PM) Oh, and I hope you're OK with me changing around your words... I got a PM today from somebody who didn't appreciate the same treatment. I'll leave you all to guess who it was. With so many members, I couldn't possibly gueff who it was.

I love when we give the run right back

Count has thrown several innings out of the pen so Danks isn't skipped this time

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 12, 2007 -> 01:32 PM) Got back in town today, just in time to see Danks continue to struggle. I hadn't noticed this in a few weeks, but McCarthy's ERA is now well below that of Danks. That's because he just got it lower than Danks after his Friday start

We'll get a glimpse of Adam Jones today

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 12, 2007 -> 12:51 AM) Gavin Floyd doesn't have it. I don't understand the need to "see him" quote as many times as possible end quote so that we can get a "good idea" of what we have in him. How many more outings like this is he allowed? Did you watch the start in Detroit? He dominated a good-hitting Tigers club and showed stuff that you would expect from a number four overall pick, Floyd indeed 'had it'. Hawk considers it the best stuff we've seen from any of our starters this season, and Steve Stone has mentioned multiple times this past week how impressed he was. I think those of us who back Gavin realize what a coup this could be for the Sox, if he can work things out and be a just semblance of the pitcher we saw in Detroit. It would give us a solid back-of-the-rotation starter for the next two seasons at a total of no more than $800k. That adds a lot of flexibility to our team. From my perspective it feels like you have an axe to grind. Are you just rooting against him just to back up something you posted on a message board before the season started? I don't know how you feel about these guys, but there are other young players who have gotten a chance recently to prove themselves (Anderson, Masset, Owens) more than Floyd has and haven't been great, and I do not know that had they worked out it would bring the same upside to our team. Floyd at this point hasn't had more than two consecutive starts still. So my thinking is, we're clearly out of contention, put Gavin in the rotation the rest of the year which will be about 6 or 7 starts. That way we'll know for certain if he can work with Coop and make strides to actually harness his talent with some sort of consistency, or if he is just mentally/physically incapable of being a successful pitcher at the major league level.

I LOVE JOSH FIELDS

I saw a hilarious video this week linked from another board, but I don't think linking it here would be allowed. Maybe some of you have seen it. Let's just say it involves a young blond woman and two pterodactyls.

Man I've been so into these games lately, fun to watch

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 06:12 PM) As well as Dan Wright, Brandon McCarthy, Rocky Biddle, Kip Wells, Aaron Myette, Matt Ginter, Neal Cotts, Carlos Castillo (called up from high A ball) and Jesus Pena. That's since 1999 How could you forget your boy Boone QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 07:03 PM) Didn't Danksy also skip AAA? In the Sox org yes, Rangers org no

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 05:25 PM) The bullpen is the key. Rip Uribe all you want. The only 2 SS in the AL with more RBI than him since the beginning of 2004 are Tejada and Jeter Did the Texas Rangers move to the NL from 2004 to present? If not, Michael Young has almost 100 more RBI than Uribe in that time period. Oh, and even though Carlos Guillen missed like half a season in 2005, he still has more RBI than Uribe since the start of 2004.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxFan1 @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 08:15 PM) Whats the point of her asking me whats up, if shes not gonna follow up after I answer? Hint: she doesn't really care what's up. Stop texting her back so soon and keep it to a sentence or less. Start ignoring this girl even to the point of being a dick if you're looking to get with her.

It has to be outfield, doesn't it? Mainly because it consists of three positional players and we cannot say with any certainty who will be starting in any of those spots. Our in-house options outside of Fields (who may be required to play 3B or never moved to LF, who knows) are not attractive.

Coop changed his windup before this start, so he doesn't bring his hands behind his head anymore he just keeps them in front of his body the whole time. I assume this will now be a permanent change.

So will it be Hawk and Steve Stone together starting Tuesday?

That is why Gavin should at least be in consideration for 5th starter next season. But he still needs to show us consecutive positive outings, as I'm sure Dick Allen and Pratt will remind us of.

Haha I take that back

Makes up for the error

Is Polanco taking HGH? What is up with his head

Maybe as Josh hits more home runs he will stop sprinting out of the box. I love his hustle but that just looks funny.
