It's difficult for me to give Walker credit. We see Coop take on pitchers that have failed elsewhere and succeed here. We don't really see that with our hitters. And at the end of the day our offense is around middle of the pack.

To our ace!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) picked this up from motownsports.com ....who knows if its true...."Dickerson on radio with the claim the Dunn has cleared waivers...." shaddup!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) I love how Mark Kotsay is a member of the Impeach Mark Kotsay Movement. He might want to get his priorities in order. Even he knows he shouldn't be playing.

I like our trade dead line pickup more than Minnesota's.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 04:57 PM) Chris Sale is coming to the park with the right mindset. "I'm going to show up at the park, be there for pregame, go out there for BP (batting practice), throw a little bit, and if my name gets called, hey, go out there and give 'em hell." http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2010/aug/04...-sale-nervous-/ Balta just sported a woody.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 04:38 PM) The important thing is that Manny gets on-base. He has some of the best at-bats of anyone in baseball. I just don't think it's feasable [sic] that we acquire him since his DL stint has been extended.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 03:38 PM) I seriously never remembered him being that bad. Blasted memory. Didn't they eventually cut him that season? My memory is drawing a blank.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 03:35 PM) http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/qWvkE Hey at least he's no George Bell!

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 03:27 PM) Its funny, we all think this and know that he is going to play but we still feel compelled to repeat ourselves over and over again and comment on how much we wish he wasn't playing. I think that is a testament to how bad the situation is. It's definitely reaching a tipping point with a portion of the fan base.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 03:24 PM) Difference is Jones has some decent power and a pretty good glove in the OF. I really dont mind him on this team, especially his current role. Although he should NEVER face a RHP the rest of the way.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) I like the "hit now or forever hold your peace" theory that was brought up in another thread. It makes watching him hit in 3 games over the last 2 days easier to handle. Too bad it's just a theory at this point. Id like some reassurance that he'll be gone soon.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) His WAR is -1 right now, which suggests that, with a replacement level bat at DH instead of Kotsay (say, a .725 OPS, or something along those lines), the White Sox would have won 1 more game. So, just isolating for Kotsay, if he were to maintain this level of putrid play, he might cost the Sox another game, but that's probably stretching it, and he literally will not add or subtract any wins from the team. If you are to assume that he was replaced by even Adam LaRoche, the difference is probably two games between LaRoche and Kotsay. With Dunn, it's probably a difference of three to four games. Had the White Sox added Jim Thome in January and DFA'ed Kotsay, and everything else had remained constant, the Sox would have 2-3 more wins right now than they did with Kotsay. To add on to that, the Twins would probably be looking at being 1 game worse, because they probably would have found an adequate DH but not one who could be worth 1.5 WAR in 225 plate appearances, but probably one who would have been worth 0.5-1 WAR in the same time frame. Thus, in this scenario, the Sox are still in first place - as they are now - but instead of being 60-46 and 1.5 games up on Minnesota could instead be 63-43 and 5.5 games up on Minnesota with the Tigers 10 games back. Shoot that over to the Ranger.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) And if he's playing...why isn't Konerko DHing? Or Quentin? That's sorta supposed to be the point. Not to put Kotsay at DH, but to put Kotsay in the field and rotate the DH. It's awful managing plain and simple. There really is no excuse to botch the lineup like this on a regular basis.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 03:09 PM) Come back soon Espy. I just don't get it. He can't hit righties or lefties so why have him as a DH? Just plug in Frodo or the Tank. Hmm...that could be a good sitcom, Frodo and The Tank. Or Stealth Elf and The Tank Law and Order Elven Tank Tank the Elf Slayer

f***ing Kotsay again. Unreal. *shakes head*

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) I literally laughed once the entire movie, and when it comes to comedies, I'm usually easy to please. It's hard to describe how bad this movie is, except for the fact that I almost walked out of it. Was Jermaine Clement at least funny?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 02:50 PM) However, I think Gherig is dramatically ahead of him on the "grand slams/needles" metric. And he can always learn from his teammate Alexei who's hit quite a few GSs in his short career.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 02:19 PM) Dinner for Shmucks just about the worst movie I've ever seen at the theater. Without spoilers can you tell us why?

Welcome aboard Logan!

Rotoworld saying Inge may play tonight.
