QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 08:41 PM) AJ's OPS since he joined the sox, starting in 05 .728 .769 .712 .728 .755 Kotsay hasn't played regularly because of injury for a couple seasons, so it's hard to give numbers on what we might get from him, especially if we're careful enough to keep him healthy. But he put up a .732 in 2008, and a .783 with the Sox last year. I'll be the first to admit "Sample size!", but if Kotsay hits like a .300 hitter, we're talkign ab out 10-20 points of OPS difference at the worst. AJ and Kotsay seem like pretty similar hitters when it comes to OPS. You can't get me mad about that one right now, the numbers just don't back it up. In your scenario, all a manager has to do is see that Kotsay doesn't hit RHP well, and realize it's worth the risk to minimize the effects of CQ and Konerko. We knew the lack of good LH hitter was going to be a problem this year, but putting an awful LH hitter in a good spot doesn't help much either in any other way than that it theoretically makes sense to split up our righties.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) The biggest misconception about Kotsay that I can't stand is that he's fast. He almost got doubled up yesterday with the bases loaded on a slow chopper to 2nd base that wasn't turned quickly at all. hey, as hawk told us that was a great at bat

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 07:45 PM) *sticks with his trusted VAIO* it'd be silly to torrent on something with such low memory. Your ratios would be EFFED

in addition, it seems to be that these reporters were working independent and had not alerted the military where they would be.

was anyone else disgusted when kevin love was a big deal and they kept slurpin on mike love even though mike love's the biggest douchebag that has sued brian wilson at every turn.

no. Dude is washed up. I'd rather try and develop some talent behind cutler.

to be honest i don't think i've ever worn any other color besides black at a sox game anyways. Still rockin the black sox jersey i got in seventh grade with three missing buttons.

today was really great, i was at home and on opening day you can see way more games on basic cable than normal. But yeah, it really is exciting to get to see the players you hear all the time about. Seeing Heyward's home run was awesome, the guy just looks so comfortable at the plate already. Atlanta's gonna have a monster, in the good way.

Yeah, i wish the game with peavy was tomorrow...i'm gonna be so bored.

i want to also talk about how much fun it was to watch thornton those first 8 pitches.

Quentin is going to get hit like 500 times this year with that elbow pad.

but we have to face the HITTING carlos santana soon.

turns out it's opening day? WEIRD

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 02:27 PM) Last year I skipped a quiz that was 10% of my semester grade for the 1st game of the playoffs. That game was then rain-delayed, and I missed my quiz for nothing. The following week when the prof handed back the quizzes, he was like "I didn't give your quiz back, did you take it?" I just shook my head, shrugged, and said "playoffs." He dropped that quiz for me. we were in the playoffs last year?

it's for top gun.
