QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 8, 2011 -> 11:20 PM) And still would have a better OBP than A.J. Picture a 2nd adam dunn in the lineup right now. Not the good Adam Dunn, the post-appendix-removal Adam Dunn. that's effectively what Tyler Flowers would be.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2011 -> 09:07 AM) I was just going to say, Pauly needs to hurt his hand more often or something. I believe I read yesterday that PK14 says that there's a bone chip or something weird in his wrist that on occasion pops and causes some pain/weirdness, but then it goes away shortly thereafter and he's back to normal.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 8, 2011 -> 08:05 PM) I love those Paulie singles where he's right on the ball and smokes it to center or left center. Didn't see today's game to see where they all landed. Neither fathom nor I could believe that Safeco held his double. That ball was annihilated.

If Pk14 gets there, all that will tell you is that this is a different era of baseball.

Although, last year's one died, so the probability can't really be zero.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 8, 2011 -> 07:47 PM) The sacrifice part made me lol, well smile at least. Hey a Sox win on a Sunday. Nice. I remember last year we hardly ever won on Sundays. You know how to guarantee wins on sundays? Appease an angry deity. Perhaps with a sacrifice.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 8, 2011 -> 07:59 PM) Are you sure Flowers can't hit at least as well as any average MLB catcher? He this year is hitting .221 but does have 11 walks and fpur home runs. Is his arm great? If he can throw people out, I'd say there's a chance he can play in the big leagues. why the anti-Flowers sentiment? At 25 years old and 6-4, 245 doesn't he deserve a chance in the bigs, especially with AJP looking bad? Tyler Flowers would be hitting .150/.175 in the bigs and be on pace for 250 k's.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 8, 2011 -> 07:50 PM) The sad part of our slump/skid is the starting pitching has been pretty damn good all year, wouldn't u say? Oh well, no negativity. Baby steps, White Sox as you hopefully win games in bunches like the Bulls. The starters have an ERA of ~1.5 over their last 6 outings.

Yay

Well i never.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 8, 2011 -> 07:14 PM) Could've had Tanner Scheppers in '09 or Austin Wilson last year. But too cheap. Too busy handing out extensions to Mark Teahen and 3-4 year deals to relievers. And I don't care that other teams passed on them. This is the White Sox I'm talking about. How dare they not identify every player's future trajectory with perfection!

Useless.

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ May 8, 2011 -> 07:11 PM) Thanks, guys. How can we miss on so many guys? I know they couldn't foresee Mitchell getting hurt, but it always seems like we pick the "busts" Because getting a star after pick 20 is a roll of the dice even in a great draft?

This inning is on the verge of becoming pleasant.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 8, 2011 -> 07:08 PM) Konerko has 5 hits in the pink shoes. He's never takin' those off.

Recommendations?

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ May 8, 2011 -> 07:05 PM) I might be mistaking, but wasn't Trout available when we drafted Mitchell? I remembering wanting Trout, but I can't remember if he was already picked or not. FYI, I would look on baseball-reference.com but my internet is acting up. It's taken me 4 mins to finally get this post submitted. Yes, Trout went a couple picks after Mitchell. The only response on this board was "man, the Angels sure do love OF's".

QUOTE (That funky motion @ May 8, 2011 -> 07:03 PM) Why do managers leave closers in for more then an inning? Thank you!!! Who do you want in other than Santos to close it out?

I like how Hawk and stone are already setting themselves up for Santos struggling next inning.

ADAM DUNN DID SOMETHING!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 8, 2011 -> 06:59 PM) This offense isn't good enough to give up outs. If you're playing for 1 run and the guy giving up the out is Juan Pierre, then the bunt isn't a bad move there.

Lexi finally helps us out.

Another good swing by Brent.

Perhaps I should buy a calendar.
