QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:30 AM) So I misspelled "must" as "msut" in a pretty long email to someone in a different department that's working on a project with me. This was her reply to a lenghty email: Felt like a cheapshot a bit, especially considering there is a grammer mistake in her email. Oh well, I got a good laugh out of it, and she was correct in that I needed to turn that auto spell check on. Ah yes, the vast feeling of inadequacy felt around the office manifesting itself as the grammar nazi.

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 12:24 AM) Is anybody else enjoying the mainstream media panic about Joba possibly needing Tommy John? He's an above average at best middle reliever...possibly the most replaceable piece of any team's puzzle, nevermind a team with the Yankees resources. This guy is so stupidly overrated. The Yankees just claimed Jeff Marquez and put him in their pen. They are indeed panicking.

Well now the Mavs have to figure out a way to win in Miami 8 on 5.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 11:08 PM) Yeah, you can win in spite of bad management. You can also lose in spite of good management. Just sayin.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 03:40 PM) Do they keep track of "Bunts for base hits" as a stat somewhere? It seems like 2003 Pierre pretty much won a world series by doing that. Bunt hits are tracked. Add one more from last night.

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 11:44 PM) It will. His HR tonight would have been a routine flyball off almost anybody else's bat. In most stadiums you are right. He really did hit the ball well tonight. I thought he hit that ball in his last AB out too. Maybe something as little as the HBP in his first AB is what gets him going again.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 06:54 PM) With you suspended, the same person who comes up with them now.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) Unless Juan Pierre was positioned against the wall on the warning track there is NO EXCUSE for him not getting to that ball. He got a bad jump, and then proceeded to miss the ball primarily because he was concerned that he was going to collide with Morel. Of course, if JP was a real player Morel wouldn't have to think about covering LF as well as 3B, and get in the way to begin with. The ball was in the air for an eternity and JP, ONCE AGAIN, was running scared looking around for help when he is the ONLY guy that can make that play. It's so embarrassing to see Ozzie march him out there everyday. We have a joke of a manager and a gutless GM who HAS to know that JP sucks but doesn't want to rock the boat by DFA'ing him. Period. You do know what a 'no doubles' set looks like?

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) According to the MLB Network crawl, White Sox outfielder Magglio Ordonez has asked the team for more time with AAA Charlotte. Nicely done

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 04:53 AM) What about his arm? Does J4L get good reads off the bat in the of? These are answers I must have. I know his speed with a 40 is pretty impressive. It is just his speed in the 40 that I worry about.

I know most people remember the games we give away, but this game we pretty much had no business winning. Somehow we turned into the old Metrodome Twins with all of the dink hits, timely errors, bases loaded walks, and other flukes of the night. I'll take it. Hopefully this is the night that gets Dunn and Rios going though. Very optimistic to see Dunn go Oppo and Rios back through the middle. Those approaches will help them both out A LOT!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 09:16 PM) Volume though.... Are piles of s*** really any better than just a little bit of s***?

TCQ

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 03:24 PM) I have faith. Dunn can't suck this bad for that much longer. He has to break out of it sooner or later. I'm going to be pissed if he waits until it's too late and starts smashing everything in sight. Well I think you are down for $20 so far

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 02:40 PM) 5 bucks says Dunn hits 2 bombs tonight... I'll take that!

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) No one is saying he is the greatest, can you please try to keep things in perspective and not always go to extremes and absolutes. ^ Its like talking to a menstrual teenage girl.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 02:28 PM) I do realize the at bat discrepancy, but I would counter to say if he played as much as Beckham he would hit about .150. He'd run out of gas. Except that over the last two years the more Omar has played the better his numbers have been, not worse.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) Oh please. Gordon has some pop in his bat and is a threat at the plate. Omar has 7 RBI this year, 30 last year, hits .275-280 which is fabulous for a guy that old. But you don't think he's a black hole? He strikes fear in any pitcher alive?? Omar has 86 AB this year and 391 last year. Keep those numbers in perspective.

Winston-Salem Dash This just in: three Winston-Salem Dash were named to the Carolina League All-Star Team when rosters were announced earlier today. RHP Andre Rienzo, OF Jose Martinez, and DH Ian Gac will represent the Carolina League when it takes on the California League All-Stars on Tuesday, June 21, in Modesto, CA.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 01:50 PM) Zing He said something pretty similar to that recently.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) Like usual. I really hate how conservative the Bulls FO is sometimes. Until the CBA comes up, they would be stupid to do something big.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) How many Mexican places are open at 2 in the morning? I'd take Chipotle or Qdoba over JJ everyday, but they're not options most of the time. In Chicago? Enough, that is for sure.
