Greg Hibbard

Anyway, going back to Frank, I'm willing to give him until 8/15 to straighten it out, but if he's at 2 months in and still hitting .230-.240 (or less!) I'm gonna be pretty damn concerned. I would basically platoon him with Everett at that point. I wonder how he would react to being dropped in the order.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 11:21 AM) Actually its disgusting how much people overate Paulie.... he could be hitting .220 but when he bats all the fans chant Paulie like he is a god...... He's not hitting .220, though. He's hitting nearly .260, and it keeps climbing. I dunno, even though he is slow as dirt if he gets that average up to .270-.275 with 35+ jacks I'll take that from my first baseman. No matter how it's compiled.

well, if there's 1st and 2nd and less than two outs for Paulie, it's an automatic GIDP, that's why he's hitting .244 with RISP

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) Frank makes everyone around him better. He takes pitches. I'm more concerned with Konerko at this point. Konerko hit .293 in June and is hitting .291 in July?

He looks pretty lost at the plate lately. Sure, he can muscle a ball out of the park with his strength a few times, but it seriously looks like he is swinging on one leg. I'm not sure how long we can afford to have a 3 hitter batting .218, or even .230, no matter how many jacks he has. His OBP is also inching down close to .300...not good. What do you think we should do if this continues through, say, the next two-three weeks?

I don't drink at the games....it's a waste of money

ERA means nothing. Look at his April outing against the Twins. The guy had a WHIP of 2+ but an ERA of something like 3.5

good thrower, bad pitcher bottom line

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) The Cubans are a problem. Why couldn't they be one pitcher name Jolando Contrandez. A guy with balls that knows how to pitch with talent. The talent coming from Contreras and the balls/knowledge coming from Duque. Unfortunately, we have two half pitchers. Tyson Curry?

Finally

Check out his WHIP. He should have an ERA about a run higher than it is. Flat out, Contreras is a mediocre pitcher with good stuff. He can't throw strikes consistently enough, and when he does, he occasionally gets really shelled.

If the date works, I'd love to come.

QUOTE(SouthSidePride05 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) How do you know it's a sellout? Ticketmaster stops selling tix 4 hrs from game time, and sometimes people mistake that as a sellout. Was it reported somewhere? On ESPN 1000 about 10 minutes ago.

very well, edited.

After I edit it, it will still be quoted three times in this thread.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:44 PM) You might want to edit that last word out. You're right. I might want to.

QUOTE(soxfan3530 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:14 PM) my response is one of the dumbest yet.

If you have extras please meet me out in front of comiskey at 6:45 I have a Sox jersey and Sox hat on.

thread is f***ing hilarious

I am listening to this s*** too, and I'm pretty f***ing enraged at his obviously ignorant dismissal of our team.

I can see where you're coming from Ribbie. I thought it would be fun to see if people could guess it, because I certainly could not have. I'm not trying to be cryptic...I thought people would assume I'm a White Sox fan from my username.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 01:40 PM) OK. Do that. Maybe on the Sports bar board. And, uh.. woah, yourself.. not me. You're the one who called me out.

Yes. With a username referencing the great Greg Hibbard, it's obvious that I'm not a White Sox fan. Come on people, read through my posts. I hate the Yankees. I would love for nothing more than to see them fail. They have compiled, with the White Sox, the best record in the AL over the last 70 days. That's surprising.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) Please.. don't. Since this is the Pale Hose Forum. Maybe you could list the Yanks transaction on the Sports Bar board.. or maybe a Yankee board. Whoa, Steff. I am a White Sox fan. Believe it or not, White Sox fans can occasionally point out that others teams are to be reckoned with while remaining White Sox fans.
