QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 08:41 AM) Yeah, WHIP is probably as good as an indicator of mainstream stats. Especially in Bruney's case as he has not been used in high leverage situations at all.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 07:13 AM) obligatory lame attempt at humor from bigsqwert post

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 08:37 AM) The sad thing is though...upgrading the bullpen right now most likely means replacing a guy with a 2.30 ERA. Yeah, he can't keep that up with his 1.56 WHIP, but Bruney would be the guy to swap out, and he hasn't been bad. (Unless we sell off a starter) ERA is a terrible way to rate guys out of the bullpen.

Lasers could be used to fry cotton.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 08:14 AM) He didn't look good last time out. That would be one appearance. As of now the larger trend is fine.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 07:37 AM) I can't believe the prevailing opinion on this board doesn't hold Kenny Hollywood accountable for this mess. So who do you think the Steelers will sign when the lockout ends?

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) Hanoi Jane Fonda whines about QVC cancelation, claims she "loves her country" and has "never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us". I don't care if you oppose foreign wars like the ones in Iraq or Vietnam. Feel free to protest as much as you want. Doesn't bother me one bit. But when you go to the house of the enemy and pose with the very weapons that he uses to kill fine American men, and you come home and call American Soldiers liars for claiming they were tortured and having the physical problems to prove it...well, that makes you a traitor. Jane Fonda thinks it's ridiculous that, even forty years later, many Americans have yet to forgive her (and it's not just extreme right wingers either). Personally, I think she should be grateful she wasn't put on trial and then shoved in front of a firing squad. Commie rat. Yeah, I can't believe she doesn't get it after 40 years. It isn't like she gave them a bad review or anything that is fairly easy to get over. How disconnected from reality is she?

QUOTE (since56 @ Jul 22, 2011 -> 07:41 AM) Coopers' ok but over rated. If he fixed Thornton as he is given credit for shouldn't he give him a little repair this season. Matt has been fine since the first of the season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 11:30 PM) Why would they waste any of their limited resources in bringing in someone to play that position when they have one of the highest ranked prospects at the position ready to contribute? From the sound of it, they're going to get another outfielder in next week and possibly another starter. Because the odds of those prospects all making it is nil, and they might not see first place again for years.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 10:52 PM) I will try to get some Indians fan insight this weekend. Totally opposite range tix for the two days, upper deck row Q vs. behind Sox dugout row J for Sat. & Sunday. In my road trip experiences the past few years (Cleveland, Boston, New York and Toronto) NY had the douchiest fans, Boston the most knowledgeable, Toronto the kindest and Cleveland the most opinionated. The last time I was there it was a Cliff Lee complete game shut out for his 20th win the year he won the CY Young and the game Quentin punched his bat and ended his season. Hopefully I find some intelligent Cleveland fans this trip! I loved the stadium and location in Cleveland, didn't much care for the fans.

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) Don't the White Sox get complete say over who does the pre and post game shows? Doesn't really matter. The logic in this thread is that they are pulling paychecks from the same group, so therefore they should be the go to guy for all things WSCR.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 11:24 PM) FWIW, 13 of the 17 threads I see on the main page were created by extremely optimistic Soxtalk posters (ss2k, jpn, greg hibbard, and a few others) The funny part is all of mine are news articles, and very few of them are optimistic.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 10:08 PM) Put your ipod touch in a box filled with silicon dioxide or rice. And do not turn it on if it is at all wet!

Just a cotton pickin minute here!

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 09:44 PM) I think Reinsdorf would welcome any investigation - then pick up the phone to Bud. If Adam Dunn said he wasn't hurt, it wouldn't matter.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) The White Sox are not going to get fined for DL'ing Dunn. We all know that. If Dunn told the MLBPA that he wasn't injured, they sure as hell would.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) I get a kick out of it and have no doubt there is truth behind the dig. It should be more well known. the truth being you are Joe Cowley?

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 08:55 PM) http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,3714301.story This is what Detroit is doing with Inge. It would be nice if Adam followed suit. If he didn't suck this bad I doubt he would talk about quitting. IF Vic is going to play outfield, you still need a DH. Out of curiousity, what is the most money a team has ever ate in a contract where they released someone?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) Why, because he wasn't called up sooner? Because they are in first place and getting a triple A call up instead of anything at the deadline.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) Chris Rongey does nothing but toe the company line. It's actually kind of insulting that you would bring his name up as though anyone would consider him a source of any information other than EXACTLY what the organization wants you to hear. Next. He is an employee of the same station that these dopes are. By that logic there is no difference between the two.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 08:16 PM) I wonder if Guillen isn't being unfairly painted as the bad guy in all this. I believe if it were up to him Dunn and Rios would be benched right now. Problem is that makes Kenny Hollywood look like a damn fool. Every time you post I am more convinced you are either a Guillen, or Joe Cowley.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 07:44 PM) I think Sharpton will be better than that other tool He'll last two months before the cancel him.

God, WTF is wrong with you?
