QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) If Contreras was pitching, Texas would have 8 by now. Give the Kid time and he will equal that

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) Ugh, ugly baseball right there. happening more and more. I wonder what the problem is here with the "d"

Had to wonder when Kinsler was going to make his presence felt. He did with 2 outs in the 2nd

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 07:35 PM) he also has 45 pitches already. There is always a drawback to being a rookie in your first game

The Kid had 4 K's of the first 5 outs

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 07:23 PM) Jim Thome, on Soxtalk, it wasn't so long ago he was talked about like Paulie is now. You are right and I stil think PK can turn this around too. When he does look out AL!

Thome with a 3 run jack

Dye K's with a runner on 3rd base and 1 out. I think he forgot we needed at least a fly ball

CQ hit by the pitch. Isn't this what made Ozzie mad in the TX series? I think these teams are head hunting and getting away with it

Excerpted from Fox Sports and Ken Rosenthal Article from 072308 What is Kenny doing? Earlier this month, the White Sox contacted the Dodgers to gauge their interest in Cabrera, explaining that their desire to move him hinged on whether they could complete a separate deal. That deal, from all indications, was a trade for Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts. The White Sox then would have moved Alexei Ramirez from second base to shortstop, his original position. The Sox's plan went nowhere, but their general manager, Ken Williams, is always concocting new, grandiose ways to improve the club. Chances are, Williams will be quiet at the non-waiver deadline. But it's hardly certain. The White Sox could use a leadoff man and perhaps some pitching help, but their biggest chip, Class AAA third baseman Josh Fields, is the long-term replacement for Joe Crede, who is a free agent at the end of the season. If the White Sox traded Fields, they effectively would need to replace two infielders — Crede and Cabrera, who also is a free agent. Lots of luck: The free-agent market for third basemen is even weaker than the one for shortstops.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 04:27 AM) So missing the first 2 games of the Dodgers series (20 days after the wrist injury) with a lower back tightness (same thing he has now) followed by a 20 game stretch where he managed a .186/.234/.314/.548 line doesn't count? No

I must say that I admire Mark Buerhle tremendously. He wanted to pitch on 3 days rest to help the team thus it is correct to call him an ultimate team player. But, most importantly he did it for his grandfather and that makes him a real person. We sometimes forget that when we talk about ball players I think.

Buerhle picks up his team mate. That is good pitching

Swish needs to take lessons from BA

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 12:55 AM) Can we just trade Crede now and maybe get some good value? However, I'd rather see Uribe at the plate and in the field than Crede right now. Please don't excited or get me started about the Crede issue

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 11:31 PM) He didn't balk. He whiffed. And I was pissed about it at the time but now I'm kind of glad. Isn't that the truth though. Sometimes things just work out right.

Buerhle is suposed to be our ace. Aces break losing streaks. We need a win tonight and Mark should deliver IMO. I hope to catch part of the game over XM radio tonight.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 01:03 AM) Hamilton goes deep 3-0. Our pitchers are giving up the bomb with runners on, or at the most critical point in the ame, while our hitters continue to squander the RBI chances with runners in scoring position, or hit the solo shots. This is troubling

Alexei likes the SS position better than CF or 2B, but he does look good at 2B for sure.

It seems Ozie was not happy with Contreras being less than up front with staff about his arm problem

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 03:33 PM) I wouldn't consider 92-93 his consistent velocity. He tops out around there but pitches more in the 87-90 MPH range. Relies on changing speeds, locations, and good command. Has good sinking action on most everything he throws. Not the type of guy that will impress you over a one game span, rather the type of guy that starts to impress the more you see him throw. Based on your analysis I am hoping to see him pitch. That's what we need at USCell - sinkerball action. You don't think the Sox will put him in as a releiver do you?

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 04:32 AM) Why's that? What do ya wanna talk about? Winning baseball games my friend, winning baseball games

Congrats to Ozuna

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 01:46 AM) I believe Masset is still expected to start. They might have been thinking about it, but I don't think he could go more than 3 effectively at this time. Now that Carrasco is impressing me through his two appearances as along relief man.
