If I'm the White Sox, Bears, and Bulls, once they find this dude I would make a statement and ban him from life from my sporting events.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 11:03 AM) And if that projects out for the rest of their careers, Beckham's OBP will be .000 for the rest of his career, your right. Yeap, you totally hit the heart of my point there.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 08:00 AM) The 2004 and 2005 version yes, not the 2006 and 2007 s***ty version. This.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 09:29 AM) Hit and run with a faster guy on base is the way to go winner

QUOTE (retro1983hat @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:20 PM) The is Safe for Work to watch. Or not.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 09:17 AM) Beckham Pods got two hits last night. Beckham went 0-6.

Sorry, Kyle, but my post in the other thread that we're winning the World Series is better than your little "going on a run" post. With that said, I agree.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 09:18 AM) I hope we don't make the playoffs this year, only so we don't get embarrassed by a team with some real talent. Go away. This is the worst post in the history of this forum. The Yankees and Angels really kicked our ass didn't they?

Ozzie Ball.

The White Sox are going to win the World Series. One bad series on the West Coast won't change my mind.

I find it funny that 5/8 are the top to attend. Why not go all the way and just rank all the home games?

QUOTE (WCSox @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 08:48 AM) Not to mention the no-name relievers that they couldn't score on. Last night was the worst offensive effort I've ever seen from the Sox. I went to bed after they were 0-11 with RISP. They were pretty damn unlucky last night. I'm unsure if I've ever seen more luck/blown calls. Pods had a damn double taken away that kicked up chalk that would have scored at least a run, about 15 balls kicked off the mound or pitcher directly to a defensive player... it was just one of those really frustrating nights.

QUOTE (T R U @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 02:48 AM) THE OFFENSE TONIGHT MAKES ME ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, Pena gets a pass tonight.. score a f***ing run when there is a man on 3rd and no outs and the game wont need to go longer than 9. When you're right, you're right.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:37 AM) How about Q and G, who were a combined 0-12 tonight? Nope, they aren't the reasno we lost. Sure Bacon can't even lay down a bunt, but PODSEDNIK is the only reason the Sox lost tonight. I'm going to bed before I get suspended defending him. This is unbelievable.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:36 AM) He has been picked off 7 times already, and that doesn't count the times he has been picked off but got lucky and was safe at 2nd. It isn't a brain fart, he is absolutely horrendous on the base paths. And a .350 OBP is the absolute minimum you should accept from your leadoff man, especially when they don't hit for power, are horrendous on the base paths, and are bad defensively. He has helped us this year because he replaced Wise and Anderson who are truly terrible baseball players. But lets not pretend Pods is actually a good player. Whom would you prefer lead off??????????? There is no better option. The hate in this thread makes no sense.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:36 AM) Well, to steer this thread back to the topic title. Pena makes Marcus angry too. (I'm Marcus.) I heart Marcus.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:34 AM) Right. The only one with blinders may be you when talking about Patrick Kane. Huh? I've made two posts in that thread, one of which was a picture. I'm still waiting for facts unlike the judgmental folks out there.

Why is it that when I'm awake I never want to go to bed and when I'm asleep I never want to get up? This world is CRAZY.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:28 AM) Dotel? Shhh, stop repeating what people have already stated as teh point to this entire thread. We're arguing with blinders on tonight!

I hate this thread. Let's not pick on Beckham or Quentin who went 0-fers. Let's pick on teh guy who managed to get on third and had a brain fart. Sure, he was on base twice tonight, with two hits, which is two more than Beckham or Quentin, or 1 more than Rios, Thome, AJ, or Alexei, but let's get pissed at Scott Podsednik. His OBP is only the THIRD HIGHEST ON OUR ENTIRE TEAM of those who played tonight. But screw him. You're right, he's worthless...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:22 AM) GO SOX

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:18 AM) He has a 94 mph fastball that rarely gets a swing and miss. His slider gets a few misses, but he also throws it from an angle that causes him to hang it far too often. Unless he develops another pitch, he's going to get crushed by lefties. You're arguing with the ultimate homer who quotes deals made in a non-pay public fantasy league as reasoning to discount someone's opinion. Don't bother!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:18 AM) There's been more than one screwup. For a supposed leadoff hitter, base stealer, and igniter, he runs awfully cold at times. You run awfully cold at time.

Pods is the man. He's a dumb man, but he is still THE man. One screwup does not discount a season of pleasant surprises.
