QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) Just getting caught up with the game. I assume Zach sucked. I assume as we all feared we just conceded the Cubs a game tonight by pitching him. Lots of bombs, particularly when his pitch count got out of reliever territory

Come on Dunnski, hit something fair

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 08:45 PM) Stewart is on team only for KW ego because trade of EJ now looking 100% worthless! 40 man roster is irrelavant who cares how many spots Sox have. No. It would benefit KW more to have him in the minor leagues where he can either get better and help us later or be forgotten.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 08:41 PM) He's the Greek God of Walks. Something tells me he'll be looking at a ton of pitches. No reason to look at Youkilis unless you're fond of first baseman caliber defense at third base

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 08:38 PM) Great. He's never even been at AAA before. So put him there and give him a year or two. He has plenty of options. It's abundantly obvious to me that he has potential as an MLB pitcher. A sinking fastball north of 90 is a big weapon. Let him try to find it as a starting pitcher consistently, for the Charlotte Knights. He does our organization far more good than just about anyone else in that rotation down there.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 07:59 PM) I concur. I feel like the delay means it is bad news. One thing to think about is that about 75% of MLB pitchers have some degree of labral tearing. There may be an issue in determining its significance if something like that is present.

Stewart going back out or did they warm someone up?

Garza's Zambrano imitation in progress

Can Soriano play third base?

Got us some innings, gonna have to go to Charlotte and not throw every third or fourth sinker dead straight

Man it looked like he barely hit it, take notes White Sox

Campana is fast

Stewart's outing is already better than anything we've gotten from Humber-Floyd in the past month or two

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 07:50 PM) Apparently Axelrod is being called up tomorrow according so someone on the FutureSox board. I'd imagine Stewart will be Charlotte bound after tonight then. Yeah I don't think it mattered if this was a perfect game or what, had to go for bullpen depth

Well I've said this a million times in Floyd-Humber outings, but a 2-run shot does not a bad outing make. Just keep pitching and show that you've got more sack than the two aforementioned pitchers.

Sinkerballers as starters = sexy sinkerballers as relievers = no bueno

Zach's sinker looks nasty tonight, but I'm not sure if those 4 seamer looking ones are intentional or not. AJ sure can't catch them but they are working well

The fan that goes to 10 games before the halfway mark is not the attendance problem

Does anyone actually know when to expect Rose back? I remember when they were saying a January return. If we destroy the team and he comes back with 30-40 games remaining, the fans will revolt

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 04:03 PM) Well its more to the point of, ultimately you aren't going to stick Floyd into the pen. He's getting paid a lot of money and you aren't pulling him. So what are you asking, that the Sox move Humber/Q and add another starter (one who probably gets paid) to what is an already expensive rotation (Danks/Peavy/Floyd all make good money..adding a 4th to a cash strapped club doesn't make much sense to me). Yes. And IMO it is worth however many bad starts to get Gavin Floyd going again so you can keep him around next year without the deal looking like a waste.

I have a feeling some guys went out and got s***ty in LA and RV wanted them to be fresh for this Cubs series

Why trade Deng to get Harrison Barnes, whose ceiling seems to be that of Luol Deng?

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 02:57 PM) around the house as im presently unemployed...as I stated before I have a bench, one 45 pound dumbbell, resistance cords(that I have recently added to the bench), a tractor tire, and a sledgehammer. Basically I was wondering if i should do tire work on a day by its self or if I should do it on a lift day... http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/1...8_4534260_n.jpg this is me. My brain is too fried to come up with something specific to do workout-wise with your parameters, but I suggest you start tracking your foods. Sign up for something like myfitnesspal and I bet eating something like 3500 calories/day with a high-ish protein amount (200 grams or more, I know this may be hard on your budget -- chicken breast is your friend) will allow you to progress in your workouts while cutting some fat. I agree after looking at your pictures that you are leaner than your height and weight made me think. You've certainly been around a weight room before it looks like

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 10:50 AM) A lot of that depends on genetics, but it also has to do with diet, as in not taking in much fat while performing your workouts and doing your cardio consistently. I find cutting fat and building muscle very easy, and I'm not untrained, I don't have a considerable body fat percentage and I'm not on the sauce. It has never been hard for me. I'll agree that some people are genetically gifted with the ability to gain lean or add on small amounts of muscle while in caloric deficit, but honestly you'd be hard pressed to find any research that documents this phenomenon
