QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:08 PM) He's hitting .243 in July. Legitimately could benefit from a few days off.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:07 PM) GMAFB, Humber hasnt pitched this many innings EVER Doesn't matter. If a starter can't go 230 innings he should be in the bullpen.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:05 PM) So the Rockies top arms are now Maztek, Pomeranz and White. Damn. Yup.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:05 PM) I hope to god Ozzie starts warming the pen up in the 6th, but he'll f*** it up and leave Humber in too long Starters should be able to go 7 innings. No excuses if they can't.

So, 13 innings against Boston, 1 run.

Well.

Like in 2010 where we had the 2nd best average with RISP in baseball? 2009 when we were 13th? 2008 when we were 8th?

Entertaining 5th inning in this Cubs/Cardinals game.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 05:53 PM) It is also hard to ignore that there is a pattern under Walker of poor plate discipline. How so? White sox: 29th out of 30 teams in strikeouts in 2011 29th out of 30 teams in strikeouts in 2010 25th out of 30 teams in 2009 22nd out of 30 teams in 2008 Hasn't been since 2007 that the Sox were in the top 10 in the league in strikeouts.

Sucker!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) Beers are now 10 bucks? Tickets a lot? Do college kids still go to games a bunch at these prices? God no, if I were still in college I'd consider a game a year, probably against the Cubs, and that was it.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) Milk kills me. Even Soy Milk. Milk and Ice Cream. Cheese, I am fine with. That doesn't sound like an intolerance to lactose.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 05:37 PM) His .304 average vs lefties in AAA...not good enough. Have a seat, De Aza. Left handers cannot hit left handers. You act like some silly statistics change that rule.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 05:29 PM) How much of this is neglected in the minors? Executing fundamentals should exist before coming to the majors. I think it's evident that this was never a priority to Kenny. The minors could use some overhaul. That is Kenny's responsibility. Problem is...how many of the guys who are our problem bunters came up through our minors? The guys I hate seeing bunt are guys like Alexei, Beckham, Rios, AJ. Out of those, there's what, 4 months of White Sox minor league time there?

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 05:21 PM) Lol I knew this rios benching wad bulls***! What time is the game Chicago time? 6:10 CST game start time.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) What's wrong with DeAza? He hits left handed. Left handed pitcher on the mound. Left handed batters are not allowed to face left handed pitchers. Rules are rules. What do you expect, a manager to use his own judgment?

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 05:32 PM) Isn't Jackson a Boras client? I wouldn't get too attached to Viciedo knowing the Sox history with a Boras client. Yes, both are Boras clients. Viciedo at least has a good 6 years before FA.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 05:02 PM) I'm not even talking about getting rid of CQ anymore. I'm talking about doing nothing to address the needs of the team going forward. De Aza is a start but KW benching of Rios "for a long time" lasted all of 2 games.... It's a platoon. Any time you give this manager a LH and RH batter that play the same position, it automatically becomes a platoon.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 04:35 PM) I ate Fruity Pebbles and chocolate milk for dinner last night. High metabolism, for the win! I can't wait until you come back and complain that you're fat.

Phil her up!

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 03:53 PM) Red Sox acquire Mike Aviles Well that's it, the AL is decided.

QUOTE (mataipaepae @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) i don't get why prado has to be a starter over carlos or chipper. his stats are rather pedestrian. http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/6513/martin-prado Larry and Carlos would both have to stay healthy.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 03:42 PM) You know if he just makes 14 of these Trillion dollar coins, we won't have to deal with this for a decade! Think about what happens next though...we go from the Monty Burns theft to the Die Hard with a Vengeance hit on the NY Federal Reserve bank.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 03:05 PM) Why do soxfans like British petroleum?
