QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 01:37 PM) No reason to play secret squirrel about it since January. Why does it matter either way? If you knew about it, nothing would be different now

The way I look at it is this, the NFL has always been a league that withholds injury information. Belichek is famous for his injured list descriptions of players and whether they may or may not play. The Bears arent doing anything completely out of the ordinary. It sucks that Urlachers knee isnt healed, it really does, but the Bears could not force him to have a surgical procedure. Plus, from everything i have read it seems like what was done was pretty much par for the course, it was a sprained MCL, it wasnt like they had to go in and repair a MCL that was torn.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 01:08 PM) Poor Septimo, his bicep must be stressed out from the 1 inning of work he has to do every 2 weeks Those four pitch walks to his one batter faced are very stressful

@whitesox: Prior to tonight’s game, #WhiteSox placed @OrlandoHudson on the 15-day DL w/ a contusion of the first metatarsal joint in his left foot. @whitesox: #WhiteSox also placed LHP Leyson Septimo on the 15-day DL (retroactive to August 14) w/ left biceps inflammation. @whitesox: In a corresponding move, #WhiteSox reinstated 1B Paul Konerko from the 7-day DL & recalled LHP Hector Santiago from Class AAA Charlotte.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 12:43 PM) He hit in the .260s at Washington, and didn't always strike out at a 240 time a season clip. He has only hit in the .260s a few times in his career, it isn't reasonable to expect it from him. And the strikeouts may be high, but he is always in the top of the league in strikeouts

QUOTE (Lillian @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 11:10 AM) You raise a very interesting point. In the interest of clarity, are you suggesting that if Dunn could put the bat on the ball with the average consistency of most good power hitters, that his home run totals would necessarily decline? Konerko, Pujols, Cano and the youngster Trout are all guys who hit home runs, but don't strike out 1/3 of the time, which is exactly what Adam has done since donning a Sox uniform. I contend the opposite. I assert that because of his extraordinary size and natural strength, that a very high percentage of his fly balls are going to leave the yard. Logically, the more fly balls he can hit, the more homers he will have, and the more times he hits the ball, the greater the chance for him to hit one of those fly balls, which in turn might go over the fence. Moreover, no one is considering the relatively few number of doubles, and singles that he hits, also a direct result of the high strike outs. That means that he is not giving his team mates much of an opportunity to drive him in. Consider this: Dunn has scored an incredibly few 69 runs, for a guy with 34 HRs and 81 RBI's. Think about it this way; he has only scored 35 runs, which he didn't drive in himself with a homer. When you factor in the Sox' high team batting average with runners in scoring position, it becomes quite apparent that unless Dunn hits a homerun, he doesn't do much offensively to help his team. He is batting in front of Konerko, Rios and A. J., all of whom have had great years offensively, and yet Dunn has only scored 35 times when he didn't drive himself in with a homer!! As an aside, it's another good argument for moving him down from 3RD in the order. Look, I'm thrilled with his "comeback year", and the fact that he has hit a lot of very meaningful homers, but it seems a shame that he can't seem to do better than his .200 batting average, with all of those strike outs. Even his OBP is relatively low, when you consider all of the walks he takes. Just because he's having a good year, doesn't mean that it couldn't be significantly better. I think that he could be one of the best hitters in the game, if he could just figure out a way to make contact more often. Actually, the higher avg. and OBP, with fewer strike outs, which he produced in the N. L., would be fine with me. An average of .260 would look pretty good about now, wouldn't it? You could put a dress on a pig, but it is still a pig. This is what Dunn does, always has been, always will be. he isnt going to magically start hitting in the .260s and driving the ball the other way because he wants to.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 14, 2012 -> 10:48 AM) This should of happened in the spring someone on Bears dropped the ball. QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 11:07 PM) Bears have been doing alot of bulls***ting on this one. ok, So they dont come out and tell you that Urlacher has already had surgery and the Bears screwed up. Now they do come out and tell you he had surgery and the Bears screwed up.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 09:46 AM) The trajectory has a lot to do with that. Dunn's homers go straight up and down. There isn't a whole lot of "added distance" still be had. Homers that are line shots still have some distance left to travel when they hit a seat. Dunn's 3 run line shot two days ago had a long way to go when it hit the seat. That was a missile

Otherwise known as the inaugural Greg775 series

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 10:13 PM) Than why did he kick him out years ago. If hawk hates Stone, it's because Steve makes hawk look dumber. Hawk turned on wimpy when wimpy revealed a very personal story about being molested as a kid.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 03:30 PM) Not attempting to b****, just noting...this would be Beckham's 2nd day in a row not in the starting lineup. He is hitting .224 and looks totally lost at the plate, im not incredibly concerned about it

LOL cant wait for the sunday lineup b****ing

We are the Michigan Wolve......Notre Dame Fighting Irish!

QUOTE (Wagz @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 01:04 PM) Possible MVP season for him and Griffey was KILLING it also that year. Matt Williams was also en fuego, he wasnt hitting for average like Thomas was, but he had 43 homeruns and 96 RBI when they called it

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 02:53 PM) Soriano has played in 2 world series. And lost both. I don't know if that's more or less motivation. .240/.240/.360/.600 .227/.292/.364/.655 It wasnt pretty for him either time. Total playoff numbers .213/.263/.299/.562 44 games 37/174 9 BB, 3 Doubles, 4 Homeruns, 18 RBIs 10/13 SB 53 strikeouts(!!!!!) Doesnt seem like there ever was much motivation

Any news on Orlando Hudson? the way he acted last night, it looked like Jose Lopez had his ticket punched to join the white sox

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 10:51 AM) Nowhere near what a guy like Floyd throws. Danks and Mark featured curveballs. But that was never their bread and butter. It might be John's 4th best pitch, after his changeup, fastball, and cut fastball. Mark used his a bit more prominently maybe, but it certainly was not the pitch that often defined his performance like it is with a guy like Floyd or Humber. It isnt of Gavins level of course, but both pitchers started off with it as their second or third best pitch, only to have the cutter and change replace it the cutter certainly seems to ruin the curve

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 10:41 AM) Now that I think about it...it's probably a great pitch to teach guys like Mark or Danksy...that don't have good curveballs to begin with...but guys with a good yacker, you'd just as much not mess with that. Danks and Buehrle both used to feature curve balls. Good ones

Theo announced "there will be a few more changes in the front office side", but nobody has been announced. How nice to tell everyone that someone is about to get fired but they dont know it yet

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 08:57 AM) Funny how, just when this thread was resurrected, Dunn has gone on a mini-run. The "Bullpen has been lights out" thread had a similar reaction

Cooper is so damn grumpy. His morning interviews with M+H suck hard

QUOTE (farmteam @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 11:45 PM) Hawk's timing with that was absurd. +1

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 07:04 PM) Alomar spit on an ump. What did Frank do? He wouldn't do the shuttle drill. And he wanted Belle instead of Bonds

Holy s*** dweezy

@DanHayesCSN: Correction: That was Gavin Floyd's first 1-2-3 first inning since June 14 at St. Louis. He made eight starts in between. #WhiteSox
