QUOTE (kane0730 @ Sep 8, 2009 -> 10:26 AM) AJ/Tomko match-up should be fun. indeed

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 7, 2009 -> 01:30 PM) The Sox haven't shown a run like 17-7 (or close to it) against AL competition this entire season, and there is no way in hell we will sweep Detroit in Detroit. Even if we play well against them, 4-2 is more likely, and that won't do a whole hell of a lot of good. don't underestimate hell

payback is a mother f***er - nice job, boys

great job by pena - that's a welcome change

great outing by Mark - lets see Thor and Jenks, call it a day.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 7, 2009 -> 12:40 PM) Of course.....If we don't play really well over this stretch, there's no chance of postseason. i'm on your side

It's definitely an indictment on the team's inability to fill the 3B position with a competent everyday player. Playing for the Sox from 1965 to 2009, played 70% of games at 3B, requiring at least 100 G, sorted by greatest OPS+: (100 = league average) OPS+ GAMES 1. 117 1254 Robin Ventura 2. 115 976 Bill Melton 3. 114 329 Eric Solderholm 4. 101 201 Herbert Perry 5. 93 798 Joe Crede 6. 90 410 Vance Law 7. 85 196 Josh Fields hence the book, "Who's On Third?" a history of the White Sox by looking at who played third (first Sox book I ever read) link

since the thread is titled random pointless thought, i'll add one: on this date in 2005 the sox climbed to 9.5 games up on CLE, only to watch it dwindle to 1.5... anything can happen - play it out until the math says it doesn't matter.

win tomorrow, take 3 of 4

dotel. see ya!

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 01:49 PM) If Quentin is hurt he should not be playing and Flowers or AJ should be the DH. If he is anything over 90%, the Sox need to really be concerned about him. I also think the Sox need to extend AJ as to avoid any clubhouse BS that seems to follow this team and really have an impact on it. Guys almost seem to like it here so much they get pissed when they leave. The Sox rotation could be awesome next year. if kenny fixes the pen, the Sox will be fine next year

Bard is wicked nasty

like I said, I love the Ramon Castro era

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 01:15 PM) So it goes. not much you can do

inge with the slam

tigers doing it again. Can't help but tip your cap. I'm stunned that they let Mags vest.

QS for danksy

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 12:50 PM) I think we sacrificed all of our "Backup catcher" luck in 2005. Widger came here and got better. Ever since, everyone who has come to Chicago to backup AJ has gotten worse. is he really any better than Corky?

the sooner the ramon castro era comes to a close, the better

bench that f***ing guy already

ortiz is dick w/o roids

lucky that ball didn't get past Q

danks falls behind too much

whatyagonnado...lester's good

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 12:21 PM) Quentin really looks awful at the plate. Next year is so huge for him. he needs a mental high colonic
