At least PK can foul enough pitches off to work a tough BB

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 09:33 PM) It never is. You should all feel ashamed. LOL I meant in terms of the ball going out of the park

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 09:31 PM) Not bad. Any way he'd sign 2-3 years at 6 mill a year? I would think about 2 years at 6 per but I really don't know if he wants to sign on as a 3Bman.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 09:29 PM) Well they obviously wouldn't hire Stone to be his replacement PBP guy. I did have to listen to the first two innings of the game on the radio tonight, and that was two innings too long. It just feels like no one cares about what's going on

Ballpark not super lively tonight

Youk 8 for his last 23

I'm glad Hawk isn't gone for good, this broadcast is a yawnfest

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 09:22 PM) Exactly. I'm not saying dump him and experiment with minor league options, but I am saying if we can get an upgrade, take it. The past few years, I was hopeful for a turn around, and didn't want to block him. But now, I think he's reached the end of his leash. Upgrade if you can, but don't abandon him at 2B if you can't get one. There just aren't any clear upgrades that I know to be on the market.

KW was given the reins to our rebuild. As Lincoln said, "don't swap horses midstream."

Work your magic, Herm!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 09:15 PM) I am officially done with Beckham. In his past 3 underperforming seasons, I have always given him the benefit of the doubt. Coming in to this season I said I would give him a year with Manto to see how he does. But still, not much improvement. Slight, but not much. I'm officially ready for an upgrade. I don't think he is a black hole, because his glove is very good, but if we can find an upgrade at 2B, I say we take it. This means you'll see him next year! If he struggles out of the gate there is some chance that Carlos Sanchez could push him a bit, but I'm not sure how realistic that really is. Carlos could probably benefit from another year or more in the MiLB

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 05:38 PM) In that case, I apologize if I came across like a 'dick' as he previously stated...it wasn't my intent. But it also gives me insight as to why all these college grads are in debt beyond their tuitions...it's no wonder. These sorts of requirements are out of hand, and I would have told teachers I couldn't afford it, but I wouldn't have put myself into further debt in order to take a class simply because they wanted me too. I would have sooner inconvenienced myself and went to the lab. But this is absurd. These schools need to go f*** themselves. In my non-technical fields I've had no such issues with having to pay ludicrous amounts of money for course materials, though at this point a laptop seems like a must. Most of my professors ban laptops and phones in the classroom, though, so you could easily do all your work on a library computer if you were into that kind of thing. I'm double majoring in Film Studies (BA, not BFA) and Political Science (BA, not BS) so you can take that into consideration as well. I will be taking a filmmaking course in which I'll be furnished filmmaking equipment from the school, for an example of a time in which I had a potentially costly course. In my political statistics course, I was given a free copy of our statistics program. In another course I was given a free copy of Wolfram Mathematica for some analyses. Might vary from school to school or major to major. I've also found having a Mac to be more cumbersome with file types, etc. but not a huge problem. I'm now running Windows because my Mac crashed and burned

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 08:44 PM) I stepped out in the kitchen and I see we gave the run back. How did that happen? Last I heard the team was called the White Sox not the BLackhawks. Scott HR

QUOTE (daggins @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) I'm not going to argue with a guy who thinks RBI's are an important stat. If you can't see that Alexei's bat is busted then I don't know man. Maybe he will bounce back but he stunk this year. You know why we look at stats, right? It's to predict the amount of runs a player will contribute. Look, he scores runs and drives runs in. You might not like that he's been excellent with RISP because that's "lucky" but it is what it is. He's been a remarkably productive SS that adds huge value defensively as well.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 08:37 PM) lol what??? he's a shortstop 70+ RBI's from your god damned 8 hitter! 3rd in RBIs among shortstops, 6 behind the leader 4th since 2009 (including Hanley Ramirez, no longer a SS) He's been a top 5 SS in all of baseball since he entered the league by most measures. I'm happy to have him around

QUOTE (daggins @ Sep 27, 2012 -> 08:35 PM) He's been very lucky with men in scoring position, which has of course dried up lately (like everyone else on the team) and nobody's defense is good enough to make up for a .266/.289/.369 right on cue, Peavy. Can't wait til you're gone, chump. lol what??? he's a shortstop 70+ RBI's from your god damned 8 hitter!

Peavs losing some velo

I'm happy getting 71 RBIs (so far) from my gold-glove caliber shortstop. I don't know how you could see his season as disastrous.

Tough luck.

Whatcha got for us Gordon?

Alexei not taking his token swings at pure bulls*** early in this AB

Tank looks tiny next to Dunn
