patience is for doctors

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 10, 2014 -> 10:23 PM) With Viciedo? absolutely. Steverson may be giving them a different approach, however viciedo's pitches per plate has been consistent. 2012: 3.76 2013: 3.82 2014: 3.72

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ May 10, 2014 -> 08:02 PM) We have to give credit to Coach Steversen. The hitters are being patient this year and the results are evident. Are there any stats showing that we are being more patient?

Fun game to watch. Tflow keepin up that babip, alexei killin it still, and Jose continues to roll. Also, how about those 3-0 greenlights! I'd like to see that continue. Always have.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 9, 2014 -> 02:49 AM) So I'm sure we'll delay it as much as possible but Keppinger is slated to start rehab soon. So, uh, what do we do with him? There's Sierra, Semien, Garcia. 2 of those guys got to go. Unless you cut Keppinger of course. Thoughts, Comments, Concerns? f*** Keppinger.

Hawk is the man. One of the last few who will give an opinion without factoring in what popular opinion is. Right or wrong.

This is a good thread, can't wait to read it all during lunch. After reading the article, I particularly liked the part where he dismissed the failure of Theo & Jed's campaign, solely based on the fact that anthony rizzo is good.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 7, 2014 -> 04:57 AM) I was going to ask if they did anything for Kerry Wood. Obviously nowhere near as good but similarly revered. I'm not sure we knew that Wood was going to retire.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 7, 2014 -> 04:55 AM) The original rotation of Sale, Paulino, Quintana, Johnson, and Danks. The team records are interesting considering the two worst slots are the ones that have made all of their starts: Sale/Leesman/Carroll 4-3 Paulino/Rienzo 4-3 Quintana 3-4 Johnson/Noesi 4-3 Danks 2-4 thats cool. Anyway we can get an ERA look?

Would sox fans ever honor a cubs player with the equivalent merit level of Konerko?

yah Baby!!!! gotta love that douchebag cubs beat writer predicting cubs sweep on 670!!

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 7, 2014 -> 03:03 AM) WTF? I dont want to speak for him, but I believe he is stating that that there are not a lot of black cubs fans.

Gordo!! Great call by ventura to bat him second. Jk everyone

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 6, 2014 -> 03:42 PM) Nice Gif! I was so pissed when de aza was thrown out, but I still laughed for a good 5 minutes because of that slide.

Yah but typically boers and bernstein hate everybody don't they?

QUOTE (flavum @ May 6, 2014 -> 07:37 PM) So, Dan Bernstein pretty much just called Hawk a racist. That is awesome, what did he say?

A la Mighty Ducks movie, It will not be worth winning this game unless it is by more than 6 runs.

yes! what happened!?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 5, 2014 -> 06:50 PM) Chris De Luca ‏@ChrisDeLuca 1m #Cubs and #WhiteSox stat: Paul Konerko has played in 71 of the 94 Crosstown Classic games. Good fact drop! is he playing tonight?

I think the cubs sox series is also a great oppurunity to gain white sox fans. Its a shame the drunkeness may ruin it for some people, but these games will play a large part in converting current cubs fans and also help influence younger fans who are on the fence.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 5, 2014 -> 02:13 PM) I hate it because it brings out the stupid. Random people make comments about who won each game and it's just pointless. If the Sox could pound on their own division, I'd be fine with losing to the Cubs every year. They aren't a rival. They are in the NL. They're a rival to me. I see 40,000 people pack the stands every night to watch a consistent product of minor league baseball, meanwhile the White Sox scrath and claw to hold onto a measley 15,000. It is bulls***, and I will not stand for it. Cubs need to be taken down.

I think the Cubs Sox series is one of best parts of the season. I can't remember why there is such a large hatred/indifference for the series. Someone please remind me so I can get back to my normal state of anger.
