Yay! Can we please get some runs now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 29, 2008 -> 07:52 PM) Good work by Danks getting through those 2...I wouldn't give upton anything close to the plate here. Agreed.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 29, 2008 -> 06:42 PM) FWIW, Edwin Jackson has a WHIP tonight of 1.8. If only that equaled runs.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox15 @ May 29, 2008 -> 06:41 PM) Didn't he used to be a big proponent of taking the first pitch? He's just trying to force things. Just a sign that he's not comfortable up there.

Well back to work Danks.

Or not... DAMN IT

Lets get at least one in.

My gameday messed up, it says CQ got out.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 29, 2008 -> 06:35 PM) I really believe the success of these picthers, youngsters especially, is when they can thrown first pitch strikes and get ahead. You just described every pitcher, ever.

There ya go, John.

Well that sucks.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 29, 2008 -> 07:26 PM) Does it seem to anyone else like our opponents are piling up the errors lately? Definitely does. When we're actually good we seem to get some of these breaks. Lets make 'em pay!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 29, 2008 -> 06:22 PM) Whats the score, inning etc. Thanks 2-1 good guys, top 4.

HUGE. That a way Danksy! Lets get some more runs.

QUOTE (north side chi sox fan @ May 29, 2008 -> 01:45 PM) Ryan Sweeney has that nice lookings .293 average and .353 on base percentage. I wonder if he will develope any power..... Slugging just barely over .400 I kind of doubt it at this point. We've been waiting for him to develop power for a while and it just hasn't happened(and yes I know he's still very young). He'll be a solid player but nothing special imo.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 29, 2008 -> 11:18 AM) IIRC, there was a period in 2005 when Uribe was actually leading the league in sac flies. And he was definitely at his best in the super utility role in 04.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 29, 2008 -> 08:45 AM) Don't read too much into a rehab assignment. My guess is Uribe is our 2B and Ramirez is the utilityman again. Uribe has more power than Alexei and hits for about the same average. Alexei has my vote to stay with the big team though. Well, Ramirez has been playing very well since he's had regular at bats not to mention he just struggled adjusting to the major league game. Not saying Ramirez is the answer but he has an upside at this point which Uribe just doesn't.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 28, 2008 -> 09:13 PM) The White Sox do NOT have an aging lineup, nor do they have no young talent and no end in sight in their lineup. Look at our roster next year. There are, by my count, 3 positions out of nine where we don't have a young guy that we could put in to the lineup if we chose not to upgrade. Catcher, 1b, and DH. We have 3+ young outfielders in SuperQ, Anderson, Swisher, and Owens if you want to count him. We have a young 3rd baseman in Fields. In the middle infield, we have Ramirez, Richar, and Getz who can all fill holes. On top of that, our starting rotation right now has 2 young guys, a 3rd pretty close to ready in Broadway, we've got a young closer, and we keep developing decent young relief pitchers in addition to the couple guys we signed. It's amazing how much the future of this organization looks completely different than it did last year. We have pieces and a few very good ones to build around now.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 28, 2008 -> 09:43 PM) It's weird how this team has a reputation for being old when really they are just slow as hell. I don't think any major change should happen at all this season unless the team completely blows up. Adding a 2B should be the biggest thought that's even considered at this point in time. There's absolutely no reason for this team to have a major change. We're a tweak or two away imo...

The kid is good. That's the extent of my hockey knowledge.

A few weeks ago I would say a 2b is definite. At this point, I think we have to let Alexei play a little bit and see what we have there. If not a 2b then it couldn't hurt to find a lefty bat for the bench. Besides that I really think you just have to wait and hope that Thome, PK and Swish start to play like themselves.

Gotta love this bullpen!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

This isn't going to end well, is it?

Well that's not a good start.
