QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 01:50 PM) Any reason gas-can Vazquez still out there? he's just out there to save our bullpen strength

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 01:49 PM) Steve Stone calling out the Sox for having Swish in CF. Says "Nick Swisher is not a center fielder". It's not as bad as when we had Everett out there, but it's the same type of danger - that at some point it's going to hurt you in a real bad way, and you'll know you could have stopped it very easily.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 12:30 PM) Agree. Swisher has always been over-rated in my eyes. I loathe the trade that brought him and his sub .250 career BA to Chicago. Swisher - 4th best OBP on the team, no? Also the value of that trade is getting that much OBP for the money you pay him each year. Making that move instead of Torii allows you to spend a lot more in the next year to improve other positions.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 12:15 PM) Throw out his huge June and he's hitting .196 on the season. Yet Paulie needs to be benched or released and this guy needs to be at first base. Ridiculous. we have relied on Nick's power a lot, however plus improved defense at multiple positions, and increased speed with Wise, etc even if though i see your logic and havent totally given up on PK myself, i wouldnt call those who have completely ridiculous. we're kind of caught between letting PK get it together and putting our most productive team out there.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 12:13 PM) Swisher hitting .191 this month. Oakland fans said they were going to miss him, but noted that he's the streakiest hitter ever. Correct assessment.

Great AB pk hopefully he can stop beating himself up mentally from this point forward. and....non super atbat Swish.

it would be a really nice sight to see PK get a walk here. a Walk, for once

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 12:06 PM) Did Hawk just say boner? DJ shoulda just let that one go unnoticed, but it ended up being really weird for the family audience i'm sure

whitesoxfan99, who are the younger type illini b-ballers i should get to know about in the coming year(s)

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 11:59 AM) Good thing we have him signed through 2010. sure would be nice to get him in the #5 spot in the rotation next yr, somehow. we should make it happen since we're going to be spending that Cabrera/Crede money somewhere. JD still unreal

QUOTE (NorthSideSox15 @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) I love how at the end of this video Joe Morgan calls CQ "Carlos Quintana." What a moron. What if we see Quintana in the semis? He's a pederast. yea, but that creep can f***in' roll.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 08:06 AM) and SF101 is right, Duchscherer isnt worth moving Floyd, despite his league leading ERA at this point. We'd all have traded for another '05 Contreras during '05. Meanwhile, Duchscherer's career points to being a lot better overall pitcher than, say jose, even in all those non sensational years before.

j.d's status as team MVP prevents c.q from being league MVP. discuss

crap, the two outs. yea who am i kidding, i'm gonna get 'landslid.'

Obviously, the bigger opponent is Detroit... yet i'm going to take the Rangers game, in the sense that we perhaps deserved it a little more (goes a long way with me) and also there was a revenge angle with Wilson. I suppose some will always delight in revenge against Maggs, but I never really saw his break from the team as an insult to us.

PK K

You dont mess with what's working, but man if it isnt weird having a guy like this batting so low in the order.' Best batting avg league wide since, what, early May? he isnt getting enough ABs

Man, Carlos stuttered through the last part of that cause he cant wait to go and beat Toby Hall's ass

Haaa, CQ is shifting around looking over his shoulder during the postgame interview Small beer clink for Clayton, at least in that he did far better than a lot of debuts go, and kept us in the game

Au Au Au, one of those rare games, and for once i'm glad i was unemployed enough to watch it right now

Security guard looking hilarious trying to field one

That's looking like a pretty genius HBP to Bradley right about now

Wilson just showed EMOTION again after throwing potentially his last pitch of the game

what did Hawk say after he collected himself? That he spilled his beer or something?

To whoever asked it -- OC's shot wouldve gone off the yellow line at the top of the wall, maybe a few inches below it
