Dayan is really something.

Teahen 2/3 with an RBI playing DH at Charlotte .

Buch's been looking real good since he got back to Kannapolis.

1st Sox pitcher since Kip Wells in 1999 to win debut.

So much for conceding the game.

Season high 14 over .500. Harrell with the beer shower on air.

Great job Lucas . Viciedo .322 now.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 03:37 PM) Who's a power hitter with a shaky future contract situation that nobody has brought up in trade talks? Josh Hamilton .

QUOTE (Soxman72 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:32 AM) Does anyone else find it odd that the Sox are not getting any money in return from Arizona? Usually the Sox get money back in a trade and IMO this is a tell that Jackson is going to be move for another player(s). Thoughts? That's why everyone doesn't like the deal. I think we're going to get an outfielder .

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:17 AM) Damn I just found it, Viciedo changed his agents from Torres to Boras. Completely missed it. Which is why he'll be gone in the next trade. A bat is coming it will be a very good one.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 04:11 PM) This seems like an entirely different situation. Thome was let go because Ozzie didn't want him clogging the bases the times he didn't strike out or homer. I think the poster is simply stating that Luke Scott mashing Twins' pitching can only be seen as a positive. In no way can it be a bad thing. Nobody advocates signing Scott purely based on this either. It is a positive. There will always be people who argue anything you say. If he was 0-22 and you didn't recommended him . There would be those who say " Get him he's due. " Just like limited sample sizes with how you hit with the bases loaded or 2 outs RISP , you just feel better about it when it's really good as opposed to really bad. Confidence in those situations means a lot.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 12:41 PM) I dunno, it works if you only consider earned runs. I was just looking at Threets game log out of curiousity and happened to notice. Didn't really pay much attention to the original post Well I kind of fudged it. I knew Thornton, Putz , Santos and Jenks were right. Threets has a 0.00 ERA in 7 appearances so I threw it in there . Impressive even if you take out Threets .

Putz 27, Thornton 17, Threets 7, Santos 6, Jenks 2 = 59 scoreless appearances currently going.

Sept 2 2006 was the last time Jenks pitched a perfect save inning with 3 'K. Sergio Santos recorded his sixth consecutive scoreless appearance, Matt Thornton made his 17th consecutive scoreless appearance and J.J. Putz extended his White Sox record to 27 scoreless appearances.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 09:13 AM) This is a perfect analogy of what Jenks has been doing. Jenks was awesome last night. When he had the last hitter at two strikes, I said to my wife, "He's gotta throw the hook." And he did, and that hook was like watching a video of 2005. Sept. 2nd 2006 was the last time Jenks had a 1-2-3 inning with 3 K's.

I am Bobby Jenks Call me a fat ass mofo Watch me K the side

10 in a row and 17 out of 18 at home.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 09:05 PM) SportingNews Don't know if you all saw this. If they want Hudson and Flowers for Dunn, fine with me. Could be KW is ready to pull the trigger on that move if he can find a replacement for Hudson. If he can it's a Dunn deal.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 06:18 PM) nice to see Brennan Boesch coming back to earth. Now if Pavano would re-discover his Yankeeness... Or get caught doctoring the ball.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 12:45 PM) .350 BABIP, unsustainable line drive rate of 29%, lots of fly balls. He's due for a regression and I don't want him on this team when it happens. He would make sense for this team, but I sure wouldn't consider him somebody you'd really like to have. You're a good knowledgeable poster but sometimes I just laugh. At least 75% of you posts have a sabremetric stat in it. I guess I just laugh because there's such a difference in anything you see with the mainstream media ( newspapers and TV) and what you see online from young baseball fans. Tell me something don't most guys with high BA and high OPS usually also have high line drive rates and high BABIP ? And if most do wouldn't they all be due for a regression at some point ? It's as if you rely on these things as some sort of crystal ball.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 06:03 PM) The double-machine is back??? Ryan Rowland-Smith.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 06:05 PM) Why did Beckham go past 2nd base with 2 out? the score i guess Anticipating a play at the plate perhaps but once they missed the 1st cutoff man it wasn't happening.

Donkey Kong !

Alexei is some kind of wonderful these days !
