QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 19, 2011 -> 02:20 PM) When I'm done with your mom! Boom! Hmm, well played sir, well played.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 19, 2011 -> 03:17 PM) Well, she is already the dumbest. When you gonna ask her out?

Sounds like a great idea.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 19, 2011 -> 02:04 PM) Well, not yet. Firing Hendry today really doesn't mean more than firing him after the season, unless they have waiver wire plans. But, they have the potential to be ahead of us now, and that is scary. I meant in their organization making progress. We're obviously still ahead of them as far as personnel goes.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 19, 2011 -> 01:28 PM) Why not Reed, Infante, or Lindsay? Well we're all in so why would we want to call up one of our better options? Wait..what?

Just happy Stewart get a bit of an extended look for next season. We're not winning the division so might as well see what we have in Zach.

Even the Cubs are a step ahead of us now.

I am at this moment, watching All That.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 08:38 AM) Humber has struggled lately and Stewart wasn't all that impressive . They both battle hard and that's a plus. I think it really is six of one and half a dozen of the other. Unless you are using a baker's dozen. I trust that Cooper and Ozzie know who is doing better and can perform as needed in the assigned role. Anyways, it's a tough spot here. Humber has been so damn good that he's earned the spot but at this point Stewart probably is the better option for the rest of the season. As much as Ozzie and the organization as a whole has pissed me off this year, I really can't fault them for this one.

Ozzie actually looking at stats and seeing that Quentin sucks against Masterson?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) The last thing we need is for this stupid hand injury to turn into one of those career-long ailments. He just needs to be shut down for the rest of the season at this point.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 09:12 PM) Lost to Barrett Sunday. In a great match btw. Both guys looked damn good.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 06:17 PM) I don't think I need to explain the significant difference there. For the record, that wasn't a shot at you, just making fun of my idiocy from January. I've pretty much agreed with you 100 percent this year on the organization, on this team, etc but I do totally disagree with you on cheering for them not to make the playoffs. Now, don't get me wrong, I understand the point you're trying to get across but I guess I'm of the opinion that even if we don't get into the playoffs that there's a decent chance that no changes will be made. I want this team to make the playoffs AND make changes next year but I truly believe that neither of those are going to happen. 2nd place finish and the same crap going into next year. Obviously I hope I'm wrong but I really have 0 faith in this organization to do anything correct.

The church lot is definitely the way to go.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) Sure is. This is why they play the games, right? 0 percent chance the Seahawks beat the Saints.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 02:25 PM) 18.3 million? That's pathetic. Good for the Pirates and as always, our organization is f***in fantastic.

Has there been a worse 6-9 lineup in baseball this season? That's literally 4 pitchers.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) He better be okay... The Phillie pitching is gonna be the only thing that keeps us from an ANOTHER unbearable Red Sox Championship As awesome at the Phillies are, even if they're healthy I wouldn't peg them as the NL champions just yet. I think they'd still be the favorite but assuming the Giants make the playoffs(yes I know they're 3.5 back but I still think they get in) then the NL is going to be really hard to navigate for anyone. Those should be some fun playoff series.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 11:32 AM) Ha, I literally thought about editing my post and putting that in there but I like when other people do my work for me.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 10:52 AM) I still love that Mac gained 50 lbs simply for a storyline. Can't wait.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:55 AM) This goddamn team is going to win the division. Hope you're right but they wont.

Seriously, this team is drawing me back in again and that scares the s*** out of me because I know it's just going to end in heart break.

Is this what the other 42 are like?

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 05:18 PM) I recognize that this team has grossly underperformed, and I'm often extremely angry about it. However, with that all said, the existing peripherals of this team suggest a turnaround is not only possible, but somewhat likely. When we had fifth starters like Danny "6.00 ERA" Wright and a rotating cast of AAA busts in 2003-4, I really didn't think they necessarily had it in them to definitely win, and when they didn't, I wasn't that surprised, honestly. In 2000, when the team simply ran out of gas in the second half, and the pitching stunk in August and September, frankly a playoff collapse was fairly predictable. However - the 2011 pitching is good, the bullpen in solid, and the hitting appears to be somewhat fixable/addressable if we wake up and just take our collective heads out of our asses, which is not really unlike 2005. If this team puts together a lineup at some point that can generate 4-5 runs a game, we're easily capable of going on something like a 15-6 tear. Which is an indictment on the organization, doesn't make it resilient. As you've said, there have been areas in this lineup that could have easily been addressed but we refused to do so.
