QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 02:36 PM) Cowley calling Peavy 50-50 Cowley wishes he was right 50% of the time. I dont think he's had a useful Sox nugget all year, and why he still has a job as a "beat reporter" is beyond me. Levine is so much better and he doesnt even exclusively follow the Sox, hell Chuck Garfiend is better.

Wow, just yesterday Levine was pointing at the Labor Day weekend series at home against Boston for the earliest possible scenrio in which they would bring Peavy up to start, and now after the brutal game yesterday, they move it up a whole week. Not sure I like the last resort efforts we are going through just to stay competitive within the AL Central race.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 04:02 PM) Alex Rios career vs Gil Meche.. (18 abs) .611/.650/.944/1.594 I've been trying to look for his numbers since moving to us? Of course I realize it has not even been an entire week yet... looking forward to seeing Rios play a full week in a humid U.S. Cellular

Screw the lineup.... Can Bacon pitch?

Levine said he was fine to play yesterday, but wouldn't be able to with Ozzie's rule that if any player takes themselves out of a game on their own will, you automatically sit the next. We'll probably see him back in the line-up tonight.

The last thing I would want to do in the middle of a pennant race is change guys roles in the bullpen. Carassco has had a real nice year up to this point being our long relief guy, somebody to rely on to piece the game back together after a SP disaster.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 02:20 PM) White Sox home attendance has been on a steady decline since the World Series excitement has worn off. 2006= 36,511 (avg.) 2007= 33,140 2008= 30,877 2009= 27,803 It just goes to figure. Attendance has returned to normal. As for road attendance it doesn't surprise me but certainly is disappointing that the Orioles, Indians, Twins, and A's in particular outdraw the White Sox. Maybe our road oppenents consider us a "premier game" lol I'd think we draw better now than we did in 2003 and 2004.

Freddy Garcia: Everything Javy Vasquez is not.

The flying Elvis' fly in on parachutes during the national anthem and afterwards right before the firwork display (fully equipped with roman candles coming out their arses), at least they used to jump before and after games, not sure anymore. They also have an Elvis look-alike parade along the warning track, and a bunch of cover Elvis acts. Looking forward to our annual patio party!

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 02:34 PM) The Score just said on their 2:30 PM update that Rios will make his debut with the team today. I am assuming this means that he will be in the lineup. If that's true, that's one helluva early line-up card. Is Ozzie making the batting order from his hotel room?

Somewhere in the Chinatown Bay Area, Juan Uribe sheds a single tear for all this talk about White Sox shortstops without any mention of his name. We will always remember Senor Juan.

Gonna keep a close monitor on the good ole Dopplar all afternoon here at the office, but hopefully we'll be good to go by gametime.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 09:25 PM) LOL, because there's no seats in that area...he hit it that far... That ball did not land where the plaque hangs, but I guess close enough probably 20-30 yards away

...and to think I was laughed at even on this board after selling high on Torii Hunter to get Beckham straight up a couple months back. Forget Hunter, he's outscored Ryan Braun and Manny over the past couple weeks. From cbssports: PS- Nice article, Cowley. Youre a clown and a sorry excuse for a beat writer.

QUOTE (Shamrock4Life @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 03:22 PM) if they weren't playing slayer every day, then yes it would have been a mistake. but he is playing everyday and raking, so it wasn't a mistake. that's the point.. Beckham has sat out what 2-3 games? Black Jack's rant was after a double-hearder and they sat Bacon for 1 of the games within a week of his call-up.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 10:31 AM) It's funny how the Slayer thing was all primed to take off and then Bacon swooped in out of nowhere to dominate Wiki had his nickname as "Bacon" before Ozzie even mentioned him in a press-conference. He was heralded as Saint Gordon from the second he arrived, and eveyone thought Ozzie couldnt pronounce Beckham, I think he was just feeding or mocking all the the the surrounded his calling up. I wonder if Black Jack still thinks it was a mistake to bring him up this early if he wasnt gonna play everyday. idiot

intrigued to see what these special give-aways will be.

Every guy in the New England area should fear his gf going out on a ladies night from here on out... BA is roaming the streets and is always looking for something to naw on! While maybe not much of a threat on paper, or in person for that matter, do not take party-time BA for granted, he is one resiliant creature of the night.

Boy, I'm sure glad this little riff provided a spark for the rest of the team tonight. Stink.

Wise admitted he got close to zero sleep last night with his phone ringing off the hook...hopefully he likes energy drinks, cause we are gonna need some productive AB's from him today.

There are traditions, and then there are White Sox traditions.

any pictures out yet?

TELL ME WISE, TELL ME SWEET LITT'L WISE!!!!! Way to work son!
