Jake

Viciedo is one of the higher upside players out there.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 10, 2012 -> 09:20 PM) That's exactly what everyone spent years asking for the Sox to do. What they meant was, "draft a perennial all-star"

I still don't buy Taj being better than Boozer. MAYBE if money is factored in. There are teams that would really involve him better and wouldn't bench him for entire games when he starts slow. I am not saying that we should change, but he's not a bad player. Unfortunately our offense never moves the ball and that's bad for post scorers.

I feel let down by the coaching. How can the same mistake be made over and over and over? Do it junior high style and tell them they have to make x amount of passes before shooting if you have to. But CJ is probably at the top of my to blame list...I just wish the coaching didn't allow a backup player to cost us SO much.

WHAT A PLAY OMER

No reason for us to run away from Hawes there that was f***ing terrible

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 10, 2012 -> 08:27 PM) Watson is killing the bulls. That possession is unacceptable

I've seen enough of Omer. Getting lazy on defense/rebounding and he just can't get his shot off or catch the ball on O

76ers offense is just brutal right now

Luol and Rip playing well that quarter, and we needed it. Philadelphia offense looking like ours has been there at the end. Come on guys, get to that Game 7!!!

TV news is like the White Sox. You say, "I'm sick of all this doom and gloom!" and you get on Soxtalk and you complain about people complaining. You debate and tell them how everything is going to be alright, etc. Then we win and no one says much of anything. I've worked at a few different levels of TV news and everyone claims to be sick of doom and gloom. Several TV stations have dedicated themselves to an "all good news" sort of format and have flopped completely. No one wants to watch that s***. You can b**** all you want, but you only turn the TV on when you know something terrible has happened. It is YOUR fault. Just like the government...no one wants to pay taxes but everyone wants a nicer country/well-run government and you wonder why we can't fix our budget???

You can rule out Stasburg, Heyward, and Posey. They had minimal track record when they got hurt, wouldn't be fair to call it a comeback. It's more or less Dunn v Peavy at this point in the AL.

Is anyone going to give Peavy an expensive long-term deal with all the uncertainty about his health? I know his production has been great but people still have to feel a bit iffy about the one of a kind procedure holding his arm together.

woohoo!

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ May 9, 2012 -> 09:56 PM) I think we have been pretty good at developing bullpen arms the last few seasons. With that 97 mph heat, Nate Jones is starting to look eerily similar to Sergio Santos. He is much more talented than Sergio Santos.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 9, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) I am of the belief that the CPOTY award should reward a great player recovering from injury season, not a great player coming back from a season of complete suck. I would lean strongly the opposite way I don't know which would win it at this point, though

I like it when "Peavy looking shaky" = shutout through 6

Pretty impressive that Gomez has made something of this outing and given them some innings.

This game has a "Peavy n Reed" kinda feel

Waiting for Jake to beat the hell out of a cooler for that hard out

lol, the grunting and yelling is very bizarre

Is Jake the one grunting every pitch?

The best part is we had other scoring chances that we haven't capitalized on and we're STILL up 8-0

weather status?

WHITE SOX BASEBALL!
