Why were you in jail Tex?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 10:38 PM) We got one hit against Fister, and it was an infield hit. That's disgusting. Sometimes most times you got to tip your cap.

Tigers are begging us to walk away with this division.

At least we have some of our best hitters up in the 7th in AJ, Q, and Ramirez.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 10:32 PM) Am I allowed to say I would be thrilled to see Greg Walker leave when the veterans leave the organization also? It's so frustrating seeing the offense go to sleep after the ASB every season. It's like clockwork. You can't even factor weather in the equation. How many 90 degree games have they played in this summer? Two?

Rios might ask to be released before the night is over.

With the way Fister is shutting down our anemic offense one run is all they'll need.

1 hitter through 3 for Price Pfister.

I'd like to see JD, Thome, and Konerko hit 7th - 9th right now.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 08:43 PM) The wheels really appear to be coming off for them. Question is does anyone want to win this division? At this rate maybe Cleveland will.

Wow the Twins pitching is atrocious.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 07:00 PM) Cabrera has to leave the game after his next AB because he just can't swing the bat This could make a huge impact on our playoff chances depending on severity,

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 04:55 PM) Holy s***, imagine that scenario? I thought just getting Rios would be perfect, but Crawford would make it the most perfect offense we could believably get. He'd take over LF (so he wouldn't have to convert to CF), and he'd lead off. That offense would be incredible. Indeed

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 02:51 PM) Dye *WAS* a good fielder. He isn't anymore. Please understand that. How many times have we seen him catching a lazy fly ball flat-footed when someone is tagging at 3rd? That's little league fundamentals that he's not exhibiting.

QUOTE (suicidesqueeze @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 02:32 PM) I really don't see him hitting for more than around a .290 average, 20-25 hr's and 80-90 rbi's in the future If he averaged those numbers each year I'd be very happy.

QUOTE (GordoTheGreat @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 12:51 PM) Maybe the big fellas are saving all their power for that final "push". I sure hope that's the case. Somehow I doubt players are purposefully not giving it their all so that they can reserve energy for the last 3 weeks or so of the season. By doing so you put the team at risk of being too far out in the standings to make up ground.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 12:42 PM) Again. Ass. I'm just wondering if he's been watching Jermaine Dupree in celebrity soft ball tournaments or something because Jermaine Dye right now is not a "very good fielder".

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 12:30 PM) Dye is a very good fielder with a good strong arm Can you define "very good fielder"?

I sat in my conversion van for several weeks before pouncing.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 10:04 AM) That's not going to do anything for his confidence, and we need him full-strength as we make a playoff push. What we need to do is keep him in the lineup to reassure him that we have plans for him, too. Benching him more often may give him the impression that he is indeed on the way out, and that may impact his play even more. I also don't want to see 2006 relived. You know where Dye, Thome and others decided to stop hitting in August and September.

QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 09:59 AM) physical? The team is doing so well right now? the latter

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 09:51 AM) He's supposed to be in Seattle today. I assume they will start him. I thought I read somewhere that he wouldn't play until tomorrow. Why that is I don't know.

If he continues to hit like he has been since the ASB then I'm fine with him sitting more often.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 09:41 AM) Wise is going to retire a White Sox. They couldn't cut him while they were putting the finishing touches on his "the catch" statue.

With the addition of Rios we have an excellent team on paper. Too bad that doesn't seem to be translating to wins this year.
