Al Lopez's Ghost

Obviously I approve, but around here, popularity is an elevator ride. Even for World champion GMs

The White Sox greatest player gets MLB's greatest honor. Congratulations, and thanks, Hurt.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 7, 2013 -> 07:22 PM) Also worth noting that Nate Jones has been better against LH hitters than he is against RH hitters so he might as well be considered a LH reliever. If this has already been posted, sorry, but doesn't signing Belisario make trading Nate Jones (in some package) more likely?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 27, 2013 -> 11:53 AM) I was fine with Ozzie until he put himself ahead of his team in a pennant race. That was it for me. Amen x 1000.

Am I reading this right? An infielder/pitcher?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 09:39 AM) Chet Lemon for the wins. Seasons of 16, 15, 12, 12, and 11. Caruso's max was 6. So De Aza is Chet Lemon without the talent.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 14, 2013 -> 09:22 AM) Just for reference sake, I have been picking through current and former Sox players to see if I can find someone who managed to match or beat De Aza's season of stupidity. So far I have run through Pods, Rios, Alexei, Guillen, Rudy Law, and Claudell Washington. Only one guy has hit 11 times making outs on the basepaths like De Aza did this year. I'll let you guess as to who it was. I know that Chet Lemon ran into a lot of outs, but I'm gonna go with Mike Caruso. BTW I'm in the camp of "If De Aza is one of your regulars, you're real bad."

So Hawk is amusing himself by watching Tiger games.

Wow.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 10:37 AM) I still find it comical that with how bad the Sox have been this year, they still almost have a better record than the Cubs Thank God they beat us four times this year.

I think it was a bad call by the ump, but a horse manure slide by Keppinger.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 2, 2013 -> 03:44 PM) After hearing Hahn state on Hit and Run that the Sox have to get better with their fundamentals and defense, it's hard to imagine De Aza being brought back next year. Just like with Stone bashing Rios for a few weeks prior to him getting dealt, it seems like Hawk and Stone are openly bashing De Aza at every chance they get. And De Aza keeps giving plenty of chances.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 07:09 AM) My favorite Ozzie moment was at the end of Aug'11, when we were heading into a big series with the Tigers (only 5 games back at the time), Ozzie felt that was the correct time to publicly demand an extension, despite having a year left on his contract. The reason? He didn't want to enter the following season as a lame-duck manager, obviously a pressing concern. Anyways, Sox end up getting swept by Detroit and go 11-17 in September to close out the year. He proved in that moment that he cared more about himself than the fans, team, or organization. How anyone could defend this douche blows my mind. This, right here, is the Truth.

Horrible decision by DeAza

He's represented by Praver Shapiro Sports Management, twitter reports (Jeff Passan). Googol search shows they also rep Carlos Marmol, Zambrano and Wandy Rodriguez. based in Miami

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Aug 16, 2013 -> 02:59 PM) I would love it if Troncoso pitched in every close game the rest of the season. When he needs a rest, bring in Axelrod.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 15, 2013 -> 08:48 AM) Does that mean he's an overpaid bum? Overpaid? Yes. Bum? Never.

He'd be a better fit if his name was Garcia.

Pojols? We just dumped Rios and Jake, and many here want to lose Dunn. Look, if you escape a burning building, don't run back in.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 10, 2013 -> 12:59 PM) Only hitters I would consider would be Butler, Hanley and Sandoval. Hanley?
