South Side Fireworks Man

Josh Fields may be a "powerful man", but at this point in his career he's a pretty bad third baseman. I hope he plays a lot in winter ball this offseason because he needs to learn how to play baseball. He's got the potential, but he needs the experience and coaching.

Yes.

QUOTE(vandy125 @ Aug 5, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) 10.0 games now... Not gonna happen, but it is fun seeing them play well. Oh, it's gonna happen!

I'm 2-0 on starting Gamethreads.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 5, 2007 -> 01:02 PM) Could be a lack of baseball experience. When you play football in college, even if you are on the baseball team, you do miss out on a lot of playing. Yep.

Fields is talented but he is not a fundamentally sound baseball player, at least not yet.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Aug 4, 2007 -> 09:40 PM) There are 50 or 60 some odd games left. You never know... It's going to happen.

Second game of the three game sweep.

It's going to happen.

Hey, I'm 1-0 in starting Gamethreads!

Sox have the best record in AL Central over the past ten games. Tonight they begin their sweep of the three game series against the Tigers on their way to a historic comeback for the Central Title.

Don't look now, but over the past ten games the White Sox have the best record in the AL Central.

Floyd can hold down that spot until next year when KW signs Zambrano

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 08:06 PM) I don't have a problem with Danks going through growing pains in his first full year with us....because, in theory, we had 4 other guys that were dependable. What we actually have is 3 guys who are very dependable, sometimes even dominant, 1 guy who is going through growing pains that should be expected, and one s***storm of an excuse for a starting pitcher, who could be 40+ years old easy, AND is signed for 2 more years. We need a Carlos Zambrano to shore up our starting staff.

Sox win tonight, 8-2 and go on to play .800 ball for the rest of the season. Will it be enough to matter? Who knows--but it will be fun.

I like his arm.

I'm weary of watching Podsednik's miscues in LF. Just bring up Sweeney and stick him out there for the rest of the season.

Ozzie's got Fields batting second tonight. Hmmmmmm...... Richar batting ninth.

Anyone know if Konerko tweaked something or is this a scheduled night off? I figured he'd get Sunday afternoon off to give him two days in a row after this long stretch of games.

Any word on why Konerko has the night off?

Iguchi traded for a single A player per ESPN1000. That's disappointing.
