QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 06:21 AM) You don't prove yourself in one night, and Jones may be nothing more than a viable bench option on most teams. But on our team, he should be playing the vast majority of the time, because the other option is Mark Kotsay. At least with Andruw, there is hope he might overachieve and be useful. I'm with you, with one other thing, Jones in the lineup I imagine helps our D out a lot more. I'm anxious to see what the data would read, but when Jones takes out one of either Quentin or Pierre in LF/RF he adds at least an arm upgrade. And an OF of PIerre/Rios/Jones is our most optimal in terms of getting to the ball. Quentin took an absolutely horrid route to a double today. Kotsay really doesn't provide that benefit. Nor does he have the upside, as you said.

so the vatican II reforms aren't a part of that? Interesting.

yes with a cherry on top. One of the greatest series ever.

I'm really enjoying how Jones makes our outfield look defensively, but i do worry about his health playing full time. He's playing hard though.

I'll gladly take 2 HRs a game from Andruw Jones. Did you notice that Pierre stole on a lefthander today? Shocking. That's unpossible.

what a misleading title. In the chat we were all talking about whether he's injured and I assumed this was them saying he was fine, instead it's just another "whaa stop being mean" thread.

Great game by Teahan and Jones. But my favorite today was Santos. I forgot who he was facing when he gave them three straight sliders that just looked vicious. Couldn't lay off, but couldn't come close to hitting it. I can't quite put my finger on Jones. For about 3 swings in the Ab, he looks awful...actually it seems he doesn't take it seriously until he gets to 2 strikes, and then he puts some good swings on the ball. And, yeah, I think we all see that our situational hitting is a lot better when there are a lot of opportunities. When you only have 2-3 a game and you don't convert, it sure looks worse than when you have 4-5 and convert 1-2 times. As far as Peavy...for 2 starts now his location has been something awful. When he AJ sets him up outside, about 40% of the time I'd say it would be on the other side of the plate. He's also only hitting 89 consistently and had absolutely no offspeed stuff to speak of. I'm shocked he's not injured, but glad. I just hope it's mechanics or something he can fix.

mark me down for people who think he's hurt.

damn i'm the only one tonight? COME ON

new broken social scene sucks.sigh.

I don't like gas grills at all. Plus, balta you live in Cali, you don't need the convenience of gas in the winter.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) And when will they learn that most of America doesn't want to watch one 'reality' garbage show or crappy game show after another? probably when this is actually true. It's not now.

I like how you just dismissed him as a player because he didn't hit last year, then said who cares about our backup catcher hitting as long as they call a good game.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 07:23 PM) He's right though, being a good mayor doesn't really mean anything, legal qualifications do, but that doesn't. does being a governor of a big state like california count?

I'm 50k less angry about him.

I think that's a pretty good precaution.

I enjoyed that JPS was old school and not giving lectures all across the country.

jones is getting 550k for the year. It's not enough resources allocated towards him to care.
