Got home from work at 9:30. As it turned out i got to see a ton of baseball, based on where my hopes for that were

Can't hit homers, can't run from base to base. Killer combo we are.

the successful '15 predictions assumed a normal chris sale season. hmm

guillen lobbied strongly for kotsay to get that seat instead of thome fyi

why does hawk have to be part of all these

they play The Smiths at the Cell?

"THE MAN ON DECK DID IT!" Hawk can never help himself. Has to make himself the story if he can.

i am little behind on the times...how is Michalczewski glove-wise

2 suicide jokes, 1 syphilis joke - strong series for Rowand

It's funny that Rowand and Hawk are complimenting each other on a well-announced series, as in truth...it was unconscionably horrible that is why that is funny

Are we the A's now?

We took a shot by going with the one guy with a sliver of star potential. Now we go to the well-rounded guy to save the season (at 2b, that is, not as a whole). Micah can be the CF when Eaton invariably gets injured at some point. Love how MJ works at-bats.

maybe benevolent leftwing god is punishing us late for Carl Everett's metric ton of homophobia

So unfair of Hawk to say "We lost it on a wild pitch" We lost it from having no bats

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 1, 2015 -> 12:40 PM) As special as he made it, he also unraveled it. That guy was truly his own worst enemy Perhaps true but that bat-slap-of-the-wrist was so damn innocuous. Yeah, he was wound kind of tight. But players have inflicted less on themselves with more tightly-wound moments than that one. Bad luck.

Man. 2008 was such a special year. Crazy that he has walked away from it all at 32.

it's so quiet you can hear Gordon Beckham call Chris Getz 'gay'

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 12:30 PM) Somebody needs to rip Abreu for his bonehead move to open the floodgates, but I am sure RV will say nothing to rock the country club atmosphere under his watch! The manager ripping his player sounds like a genius idea.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 12:28 PM) When worthless De Aza walks and singles in the same inning just wrap it up for the day. De Aza - always above replacement and as a White Sox cost very little

Mercy-flee

oh man Eaton's reaction there. loooool

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 01:18 PM) Yes but that is limited. He isn't going to bat for Eaton, Cabrera, Abreu, Garcia, Ramirez. And not a lot of teams have more than 1 or 2 LH relievers. Alright, well my whole thing is lets not write the story on this til it actually happens. I'll determine waste of $3M this year once the year is over. If you have a win now year then the non Conor ABs and the non Micah ABs are a concern for a depth less team with so-so ready now farm talent that can step in. Sanchez & Micah are something you hope will pan out but for a win-now roster with FAs, they were not at any point going to be the only answer.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 12:48 PM) If Bonifacio can only or should only play against LHP, approximately 80% of pitchers are RH, so he should start, if used properly by the experts here, 32 or 33 games a season. If being used properly means you can only bat against 1 or 2 or 3 pitchers on a staff, what a waste of $4 million. Do not forget situational late game PH ABs and situational postseason PH ABs And 3M this year, factoring in the positional flexibility-- is fine. The extra 1M is just the 2016 fully guaranteed portion. When you have rookies and question marks in the IF, your best bench IF is a real role.

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 11:29 AM) The lack of walks is, to me, a sure sign that guys are pressing, not being patient. Eaton and Melky will have to rebound before this looks better. It is a little disturbing to me how little we know about Eaton. the contract is fine but his propensity to hit his way on foremost (plus injury history) is a little worrisome. Well, currently....only slight amounts of worrisome.
