I may not love Rongey's point of view on this, but he always structures his comments in a well-thought out way and engages in debate even when faced with the wall of idiot-onslaught in the postgame. I'm hoping there's nothing in this thread that would cause him to stop coming here. Lets disagree but not target specific people.

Sergio really serving up some tattooable s*** here

Wikipedia indicates Juan Pierre was given his first name in honor of Juan Marichal

Hitting coaches have about the same impact as one might expect from all those free-throw shooting coaches Shaq had.

Seems like there's this template for EJax starts Awful early, settles in nicely

Lot of pressure being put on DV here. Hope people are stopping to take a breath and realize that. He could easily come in and struggle, and provide questionable defense in LF. There no guarantees against any of this.

so if you defect from Cuba, you spend a fair amount of time being a citizen of Nowhere spooky sounding

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 11:35 PM) I got to talk to Minnie Minoso, was told me and my parents are "his family" and told to call him next time were at a game. And Lillibridge is a badass. He used to bring his grandkids to Sluggers some 10+ years ago -- where I hung out with them one time. Perhaps it's why he's the only Sox on their wall mural.

The game tonight is not indicative of anything on its own. Even the best teams in baseball have nights like these. We controlled the game throughout and then got done in by some hit batsmen and two hits in the 9th. Don't let the 9th be indicative of the whole night. Our weak point has been offense this year, and today we provided some.

Sergio has been really solid all year. Just because it hurts right now doesn't mean you start thinking of him as the worst pitcher in baseball.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:07 PM) This will be a devastating loss. I just need to shut up. I was giving Sergio his due and he molests me. don't be so hard on yourself. youve said plenty of other wrong things besides this one.

Cold ends and we start hitting. I hope next April/May we can get it together to be at least passable. For stretches even.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 07:34 PM) Beckham is only guy who doesn't match up well against Godfrey. Not that I doubt it, but can you elaborate? Also - this is pretty pathetic to ask, but why do Gordon Ks seem worse than most other Ks?

He's no Derrek Lee

That 32nd of a second will get ya every time.

This is a little off topic, since he's in the majors now.... ...but going into this year, how highly regarded has Wilson Ramos been?

We're going to be OK if we have the usual Alex defense, and offensively if the current Gordon and Morel stay around for a bit. That'll be enough for the bottom of the lineup. Of course working in Lillibridge - no problem at all with that. But Rios' sense of entitlement and track record for pouting is going to prevent a benching, I think we all sense that.

So is it basically the case that if you dont have 3 yrs service time in, you are always going to have Arb years to go through. Even if you've signed a 1 yr 500K with a new team.

Is this wrong, then? He's actually under team control for four years? http://www.spotrac.com/mlb/chicago-white-sox/philip-humber/

season has made me feel like the horse from Pt 1

People make the mistake of saying Floyd has a deer-in-headlights look when in reality he just kind of looks like a deer, period

Wins mean nothing. Phil is the s***

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ May 26, 2011 -> 08:46 PM) Slappy fast guys do have a major league role. Juan Pierre's career, hate it all we want, has kind of been an amazing thing I'll correct this. Slappy fast guys who have good enough defense to up their WAR each year (besides this one)
