Swish is too streaky for 1 spot, too K prone for the 2 spot

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:50 PM) Papelbon shows what a relief pitcher is supposed to. Actually not the case at all. He's a unique relief pitcher.

As far as this game: belief stopped.

Slow death is so bad

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:27 PM) FOX had baseball, FOX had the Bernie Mac Show. Cross-promotion. Bernie went where they told him to go. Exactly the reason Carlos Bernard was at the 05 postseason games and on camera. But in reverse.

with barack and kanye we're making a sudden run at the celeb fan list. too bad we lost one in Bernie recently, however.

QUOTE (Karko's Throat Skin @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 07:15 PM) ***Hip-Hop Alert*** Jay-Z's Kanye produced track "Dope Boy Fresh/Jockin' Jay-Z" just leaked in CD quality. Anyone else a hip-hop fan? wondering - is kanye an avowed sox fan? or anything chicago fan?

Why am I drawing a blank on what bet Hawk lost?

Their fans have been so spoiled by those payrolls and,well, rings

From sonsofsamhorn: and...how many wins do they have again? wow.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 07:01 PM) I wish we would have gave Fields more of a shot. It's that 2005 part of me I'm sure, but it's Uribe's time. Cant believe it but playing Juan is the proper 'win now' move.

run manufacture, good.

Had volume down and I shrieked when WCIU mistakenly put up 1 out just then

Wow Wilson didnt seem to care too much about no hitters

Longoria has been too good. even with this time missed for the wrist, it's not going to even up the numbers enough Even with Alexei having been on the bench for a similar chunk of time himself.

QUOTE (rcpweiner @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 05:20 PM) I agree about moving A.J. out of the 2-hole. It was a good idea earlier on in the season when there were no other options, but at this point, I'd rather have Swisher up there for his OBP or Alexei for his general speedsmanship. Stick A.J. at 6 or 7. Swish with the 98 Ks though

QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 03:43 PM) I am pretty sure the discussion was about Orlando Hudson, not Tim... oops, deal doesnt end til another year

Hudson really does fit the profile of what the Sox would pursue. At 33, he's going to have to settle for the shorter years deal which is our ,um, specialty regarding pitchers

QUOTE (Drew @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:52 PM) "Here I go Again" is Whitesnake. The Great White tune you're thinking of could likely be "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" or maybe "The Angel Song." All these bands are the same thing basically. Hence the confusion.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 11:55 AM) Quentin was never behind Anderson. Actually, you're right, and the reason is b/c Ozzie favored CQ from the start, saw his work ethic. With Anderson's spring, most other managers would have given BA the reins. Good thing Ozzie dislikes BA enough.

So unbelievable that we're seeing this thread for a guy who originally was slated to not make the team. In a sense was behind Owens, Anderson and Alexei for outfield time.

Pitching dies there. Our guys would go there to die.

is Milton Bradley done playing OF? is his DHing out of necessity, or because he is simply the worst of four outfielders? i know he had an injury going into this year...

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...1,7585963.story While we're all waiting for the real Carrasco to come around and screw things up, this article makes me think he's feeling actually less pressure at this point in his career, since he's seen it all in ten years Makes me hopeful that, if he hasnt figured something out about pitching, he just has a good mindset for it right now since he has been jostled around every pitching environment possible

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 12:08 PM) I am sold now. He said he wasn't ready, in the first week of May, when he wasnt in AA yet. Yup. Broadway and his home runs is a much better solution. Broadway's not the starter. Better than all options is the acquisition of a vet.
