QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 05:22 PM) Kotchman's OPS was .839 last year and he is at .775 this year. He is good but he isn't in the same stratosphere as Tex. Yes, but I was quoting the "he's never gotten on base his whole career" remark which was not correct.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 05:14 PM) I have no idea why anyone likes Kotchman. He doesn't get on base, he doesn't hit for power, through his career he hasn't even hit above .300, and he's 25. How much better is this guy going to get? With the picks you know you've got a shot at 2 guys with star potential who you can then trade if you have to for someone who actually doesn't suck. Brain-dead move for the Braves. HUh? This is his second full season, last season he had an OBP of .372 and almost a .900 OPS. He has gotten on base all through his career.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 04:09 PM) What? Are you implying he's been juicing since High School? Because he has been a top tier talent since then.

About 10 anchor steams and then some garlic fries.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 05:06 PM) What a terrible trade by the Braves last year to get Tex. I wonder how GPratt feels about it. Its ok, they raped the Tigers on the Jair deal.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 04:04 PM) I floated the steroid issue a few months ago. He looks like an obvious juicer to me. EDIT: Ex-juicer. Since HS?

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 04:03 PM) Not that big of a difference between the two of them so far this year. At least not enough for a rent a player. about 100 points OPS

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 05:01 PM) 1B is such an easy position to find talent at. This is a good deal for the Angels, as Kotchman was never going to be a 30 homer guy in that stadium. Man, I wish we could steal him from Atl.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 04:56 PM) needs to be greeeeeeeeeen lol They basically traded Kotch for Tex. The good news is that the Angels are going to need a 1B next year.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 12:14 PM) Always Sunny In Philadelphia. There's something about the actors (esp. Danny DeVito) in this show which makes viewing it a chore. I compare it to King of the Hill -- entertaining, but not hilarious. You officially have no sense of humor. Thats probably one of the best shows on TV.

We shoulda offered Swish plus more.

Snap. Did they trade Kotch?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 02:41 PM) Man you must like 'em bullemic if you have a problem with that. Not the hottest girl on the planet like state before. You gotta remember shes like 5'10". Shes a big girl. Im not a huge fan of big girls, and I dont find her to be in the top echelon of hot girls on this planet. She's cute, thats about it.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 03:45 PM) Yes, I think some people here would rather be right than have things turn out for the team. I see it in the Crede-Fields debates and the pitcher debates. The common thread that is supposed to link us all together is the desire to see the White Sox win, sometimes its doubtful with some folks around here.

The good news is that Swish has been "unlucky" this year on balls in play, and also SHOULD be entering his prime the next few years. So there is a reason to be optimistic.

24. Kiefer is just bad.

QUOTE (TCQ @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 10:53 AM) Stop posting videos of konerko in 05 or 06. It is now 08 and he sucks, we will all move on. Live on nostalgia for now, but when you turn the game on and theres a guy on base with konerko up its no longer an rbi oppurtunity its a GIDP oppurtunity. Read the thread title and move on if you dont want to contribute, its not that difficult of a concept.

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 09:30 AM) Agree to disagree. Ive seen him pitch a couple times this year in the minors. Hes got great stuff, and great head. He had decent stuff against texas (7 k's) and they are a great hitting team. Im seeing 6 innings 2 or 3 runs. He will keep us in the game. Thats all we need, offense needs to get going fast. I say bat Paulie 2nd.

Oh yeah, rally kong time.

I think the metrodome is exactly what Paulie needs to break out of it.
