QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) Don't do it. It's not worth it. People always think they can handle this s*** and they never can. Agreed. If you're doing a threesome, do it while you're single and with people you aren't really interested in dating. Otherwise, disaster waiting to happen.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:41 PM) Fantastic point. Yeah that actually is a really good point, I never thought of it that way.

QUOTE (jhonnydanks @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:41 PM) don't stop Get it, get it?

Yeah threesomes are cool if it's just two people of the opposite sex you aren't serious with and are looking for some fun, but if you're in a serious relationship/married, that can be a bit messy. So I'd agree with those that suggested you proceed with caution.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:31 PM) Carlos is just not hitting lefties lately. If you want to let him play against lefties he has a good history against, fine, but he should never be playing in the field from what we have seen this year. If anything, I would be inclined to break the platoon more for Viciedo to play against righties than for Carlos to play against lefties. I cannot argue that point. He's epically bad out there.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:34 PM) Vlad had a great career while rarely walking. Even he draws walks here and there though (although some of those are due to fear factor, and you hope eventually that sets in for pitchers with Dayan as well).

Tigers below .500 and in free fall mode as of now. Keep both of those trends up in about 3 and a half hours.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) It's really simple, as fun as Dayan is to watch and as great as he's been so far, he's going to have to learn how to draw a walk at some point. Indeed. If he learns to even draw a modest amount of walks, he could be a really good offensive player with that zone coverage and power. But he has to walk every once in a while, you can't just not walk.

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) Is it official yet? I want some Sale Not until after Torres pitches tonight. since that'll be the roster spot Sale takes it appears.

QUOTE (Allsox @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:24 PM) I agree with everything except the platoon at DH, CQ is a guy you ride when he's on fire. Think you meant platoon Tank with Vizquel at 3B, right? Yeah I'd probably put Carlos in RF and DH Dayan vs. lefties, DH Carlos and put Teahen in RF vs. righties, and have Omar at 3rd as much as possible. I didn't read his post close enough to notice Carlos and platoon together.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:22 PM) Seriously, this dh thing is going to drive me nuts until I know that Dayan is still on the major league team. We can not f*** this one up, can we? Just root for Dayan to keep raking. At some point, even Ozzie Guillen must look past man crushes.

Nice of Scott to make sure Mark's ERA stays just above 4. Sigh.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) We should platoon Carlos and Dayan at DH, let Jones and Teahen platoon in RF, keep Lilli on the bench, and tell Kotsay to catch Threets' turf toe for a few weeks til the rosters expand... Correct, and Teahen can also be the backup 1B.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) Brent Morel has rocketed upwards this year and, if his shoulder is OK, might be a legitimate mid-2011 arrival. We can only hope you're right.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:15 PM) So I guess we are stuck with Teahen and his putrid D at 3rd. *sigh* Yeah, the D is the part that sucks. I could live with his bat over there overall if he didn't have a garbage can lid for a glove.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) Is there any way that Omar can actually help Dayan be a serviceable 3B? He seems to have been a positive influence for Alexei. Maybe we can sign him to be a player/coach next year and spend extra time working with the Tank. Dayan is a future 1B/DH as far as I'm concerned.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:12 PM) I think Teahen is actually a really good option for our needs...Vizquel for defense and lineup balance, Viciedo beats up LHP, Teahen hits RHP better than Viciedo, Teahen can be useful in corner OF as well as 3b/DH. It's really the perfect setup for a rotating DH...several old guys, several guys who fit a platoon well. Yep, it's the exact setup Ozzie wants once Teahen returns if he just DFA's Kotsay. Of course, we're the White Sox though, so it probably won't work out that simply.

Even an appearance from therapist that inning! QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) Or get rid of the worst player on the team and DFA Kotsay. I'm actually to the point of hoping he gets an injury that keeps him out for the rest of the year. It's really hard to not feel that way right now.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) I'm not suggesting carrying 3 lefties in the pen for the playoffs, rather pointing out keeping Threets on the DL for the rest of the month gives the team all of September to decide who the better option is for the postseason. Otherwise, you got to make the call by the end of the month. True. Threets had been pitching pretty well too, so he's an option if Sale struggles.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:05 PM) Dayan and Lilli are the best 1-2 combo in baseball. I really don't see how either of them can be sent down when Teahen is ready. Even with our manager being who he is.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:03 PM) I'm so happy we didn't give up Viciedo for a 2-month rental Yeah, his ceiling is just incredibly high. Stealth Elf's turn!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:01 PM) What's worse? Save big money at Menards, or don't stop now boooyysss? Don't stop now boys is worse since you hear it so much, at least the Menards thing is only once a game. Keep raking, Dayan. Don't let them keep Kotsay.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:00 PM) If Threets is somehow able to stay on the DL until rosters expand in September (I know that's a long time and unlikely), he and Sale would both be eligible for the playoff roster correct? Yes, although I don't think we'd carry 3 lefties in the pen.

QUOTE (TomPickle @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 01:59 PM) Lillibridge doesn't look too comfortable out there in CF. That's exactly what the Stealth Elf wants you think. Then, next thing you know, he makes a diving catch and doubles a guy off.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 01:52 PM) Unfortunately. In games like this I would much rather see him get out. He brings nothing to the table and this just encourages Ozzie to give him for abs. I agree, although I'm convinced Kotsay is here for the rest of the year unless he gets hurt no matter what.
