Nice job Morel .

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 06:35 AM) Hear my train a-comin'. Maybe Reinsdorf shouldn't model the Sox after an organization referred to as " Dem Bums".

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 12:53 PM) Rios cf, Dunn dh, There's your 5-6 spots. 4-5-6 combined -3.5 WAR for the season . No one in MLB can match that middle of the lineup ! Go Sox !

As if we need any more indictments of this team but... in his short time with the team Alejandro De Aza has the 4th highest oWAR among position players behind only Konerko , Quentin and Ramirez .

1970 Luis Aparicio 1967 Joel Horlen 1968 Tommy John 1966 Gary Peters Any Hoyt Wilhelm from 1963 to 1968 ERA usually under 2.00 and whip 5 out of 6 years under 1.0 in relief. 1971 Wilbur Wood 10.0 WAR .yes you read that right. Frank deserves any 1st base spot but hard not to find a place for ... 1972 Dick Allen and his 1.023 OPS and 199 OPS+, 9.3 WAR. 1965 Eddie Fisher 4th in MVP votes and WHIP under 1.0.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:29 AM) Dude's put on a fair amount of weight. I saw that too and that sure isn't doing his back any favors.

Only 9 losses for the Sox when leading going into the 9th. Tigers ? 78-0.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:12 PM) His slow delivery or his celebrations to end games? End games ? He celebrated after K'ing Viciedo.

I want to smack Val Verde that hot dog !

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 01:44 PM) Walk these mutha f***ers off please... I agree but Leyland wants home field advantage in the playoffs.

Props to Leyland for not conceding anything.

Axlerod should have got a win. Odds of another HR ?

Oh Sergio

I'd have to say the wildest craziest time in franchise's history just might be the Black Sox scandal not Disco Demolition though I was at DD . But yea controversy always gets the headlines especially ongoing sagas like trials and feuds. Props to Paulie for another fine season.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 06:35 PM) Never thought I'd see the day this late in the season where an Alex Rios 2 for 2 still doesn't get him up to a 600 OPS. Did he actually hit 2 line drives or were they "accidental" hits? The 2nd hit he tatooed it off the wall but Young played it pretty well and held Rios to a single. Didn't see the 1st one.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 09:22 AM) I doubt we'll choose to add payroll at 3B next year with Morel's 2nd half improvement. He has what I would call a "reasonable shot" at becoming a solid everyday player and we should be able to give him the job next year. He has shown more patience of late. I still hope he can be a 2 hitter eventually, though he has to continue to show OBP improvement. Another 2 HR day . That's 2 in the last week. Both to CF so he's showing very good pop now.

I knew he would. He's got good power.

Morel again to center ! Another 2 HR game !

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 06:24 PM) Thanks for increasing your offseason trade value, Mr. Danks. Even fathom is bored with our current stretch of play against DET at this point...don't see him here. Maybe watching football or babysitting instead. I'd like to see one game without Pierre, Rios or Dunn in the lineup. Just one !

Juan Pierre to the bitter end ! Everyone sits but him .

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 06:09 PM) Wow, just saw that Viciedo throw. What a stud! It was such a strong throw it reached AJ maybe a little bit more than head high on the fly. It probably would have carried another 50-75 feet. I can't wait to see him uncork one from the warning track though no matter how strong your arm is you usually hit a cutoff man from that far.

Thought of starting a thread on this but did anyone see Viciedo gun down Crowe at the plate. ? Here it is http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/mlb/gameda...09&c_id=cws 1st chance I've seen for him to show off that arm. Top gun !

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 01:04 PM) Viciedo has a cannon for an arm. Holy s***. You don't run on that tank when it fires !

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 09:12 PM) Dunn didn't get the big pay day for hitting .037 against lefties.. did he? He got it for driving in Runs. Dunn is not in the situation if Rios, or Alexi gets hits earlier in the game. That wasn't the only time they had bases loaded and less than 2 outs. Ozzie doesn't need to show up Kenny.. Kenny's record is case enough for that. One of his smartest moves, was to start Dunn, who had success against Carmona, who is also struggling. Regardless of what he got the big payday for the fact is .037 against lefthanders . .037 !!! It's like putting a blind man to bat in a crucial situation. There is nothing more to say , nothing more to discuss.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 10, 2011 -> 08:20 PM) Ozzie said Dunn makes too much money to get PH for. The more I hear the worse it gets. He actually said that ? Please tell me he's already been fired and he's just a lame duck manager.
