Besides that, what do you have? Indian reservations?

If you spend anytime in the South Bend area, you learn ND is like a cult. You are either indoctrinated, or you hate it. I hate it. They are like Yankees fans.

Nice to see JD back in there. Maybe he can get back to driving the ball.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 12:10 AM) This is great. Dye's face was hilarious. The players are really having fun and letting loose it seems. Gavin Floyd.. the tale of two years. 2008:17-8 3.84 ERA 33 GS 206.1 IP 190 H 107 R 88 ER 30 HR 9 HBP 70 BB 145 SO 1.26 WHIP .309 OBA 2.07 K/BB 3.05 BB/9 6.32 K/9 8.29 H9 2009:11-9 3.84 ERA 28 GS 185.0 IP 168 H 85 R 79 ER 21 HR 2 HBP 56 BB 160 SO 1.21 WHIP .297 OBA 2.86 K/BB 2.72 BB/9 7.78 K/9 8.17 H9 I love how he had fun with it, instead of the hit and run.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 12:52 AM) i'm disgusted that no one has even brought up the name of Bartolo Colon. He could well lead the staff next year, once he gets over this hurdle girdle.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 12:36 AM) Good find, thanks buddy. If Gonzo is right on that, and Freddy continues to post quality starts, it's a no-brainer. For three million dollars even, if he can put up an era of 5.00, he will have value to someone.

QUOTE (CSF @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 09:34 PM) Poreda's line yesterday: 5.1 IP, 1 hit, 3 ER, 8 BB, 8 K's. Good Lord. I know an adjustment period is to be expected, but 37 BB in 32 innings? That's Marmol-esque, without the wipeout slider. At least Dexter's on the DL, so maybe he wasn't 100%, but Poreda is all over the place. How did the Sox coaches get through to him where San Diego's aren't? I'm guessing that is a product of the Sox pitching philosophy of taking a little off of the top to get repeatability in the motion. I'd be willing to bet he is back to throwing 96+ again.

Xanadu is the closest location to me.

So who is winning it this year?

Garcia will start there, but won't finish there.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 07:09 PM) There is no way Torres should be sent down to get work while Hudson stays on the big league club in the bullpen. That was pretty much the exact same way that McCarthy fell out of favor within the organization, and Torres looks much more capable of becoming a reliever, especially considering he only throws out of the stretch. Hudson is also much more highly regarded and has a place in the rotation within the upcoming years, and as such, the team should look to increase his workload a bit going into next year in AAA to help build up that arm strength. If he can throw 175 or so innings next year in the minors, he's looking great, and at that point, he can also become the 6th starter should someone go down for an extended amount of time. He will be what Brandon McCarthy was to the 2005 White Sox. Hudson was at 161 last year, and is at 147 in the minors, plus the 2 in the majors this year. He is ready for 180 innings now.

Really is there any difference?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 05:28 PM) Dye for the Win. Heh. Poses for the camera too. That was classic... Most try and hide. JD wanted Gavin to know who it was.

[Pukes twice]

Great outing by Gavin today. Nice day by Paulie as well.

DOINK!
