Jake

Here's hoping he leaves something up to Dayan

lol, long ass single

Wow, a hit and run with ADAM DUNN woohoo!

Don't f*** with Jake Peavy

Dunn this year is actually better than the Dunn I thought we signed. I knew what he was based on stats, but the threat is REALLY there to go yard every single at bat and swing. He's a fearsome dude. I don't think pitchers are thinking about those big K numbers when they pitch to him anymore.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2012 -> 02:45 PM) He could be a really interesting name to throw around next year. He would come cheap for sure, and has a lot to prove. article was a bit tl;dr, is he expected to be healthy(ish) next year?

I'd rather win this series and later get pummeled than lose in the first round.

lol, Robin put it as eloquently as he could. Basically, "if we could start four guys in the outfield, Kosuke would definitely start!"

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2012 -> 02:53 PM) Matt Thornton should by no means be a "Buy low" candidate in a trade right now. Someone wants him, they have to pay the normal Matt Thornton high price. Well it's hard to imagine that anyone that looks at Matt Thornton right now isn't going to say "he's in his upper 30's, his fastball has lost an mph or two, his control looks iffy, he gets hammered in save situations" etc. I think both teams would be pleased in the long run with the proposed deal

I think Thornton for Youkilis is fair. Both are buy low right now, Youk even moreso than MT

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ May 9, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) Are there any sites that show monthly attendance numbers? I'd be interested in seeing how the early numbers relate to past years. ^ this

JFP vs this asshole No lineups yet, but who gives a s*** because Peavy shuts 'em out EVERYTIME. KEEP THE STREAK (of 1) ALIVE

My dad called me (I don't get CSN) and said that somebody on Tribune Live was talking about the unbelievable amount of attention the training staff had to give Sale's arm between starts. They said the amount of work he needed done to get ready was what you might expect for a guy at the very end of the season, or perhaps not at all. Said the only comparable White Sox was Mark Buehrle at the end of last year, who apparently was hanging by a thread.

Thank you for bringing the facts secondary posters. I don't understand this Dan Johnson business. Sure he hits, but doesn't that cripple our bench to have yet another non-defensive player? Or am I wrong about this guy's defensive abilities?

Well...do we have a chance at this series?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:04 PM) I wish I could watch this game. Damnit NBATV. vipbox.tv QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:05 PM) Is there any other way to describe Watson this series other than an abject failure? I mean this is just ridiculous. Mostly, I'll give him credit tonight for at least allowing the offense to run occasionally

This team needs Rip playing in the final minutes. He needs to be willing to defend, I'm not buying that he isn't athletic enough. He's still very fast so I have to believe there is some lateral movement remaining as well. I'll take what I can get as far as these wins go, though.

We're getting it done for now, but why no Hamilton? Props to Taj for toughing it out.

This thread died. Well, we're looking okay. Taj giving it his all. Boozer and Deng showed up today. Only thing killing us right now is Ronnie Brewer

I like Reed getting into these "easy" save opps starting his own inning with Sale being the main guy for now. We'll figure out the plan for the future when we get there. For now, Sale-Reed-Crain-Thornton-Jones is a nice top 5 in the bullpen.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 8, 2012 -> 09:12 PM) what? lol, joking

QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2012 -> 09:11 PM) Hector should be closing games after that scoreless performance in the ninth interesting

Go Rios, Go Reed, Go SANTIAGO OUR NEW CLOSER

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 8, 2012 -> 09:09 PM) Reed has got to be the closer. Sale just another setup guy. 2 outs. uh huh
