I wish he'd get suspended. It would hurt the Twins. And I'm with Kalapse on this.

Paul Konerko likes to steal bases. FOUR AT A TIME!!!

Le sigh. Le White Sox!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 08:21 PM) Miserable attempt at humor? Guess you're not done. Who can't read now?

Bullpen, I mean.

Ah! Let's get to that vaunted defense of theirs.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 08:19 PM) What about me? i got him as my avatar and everything. i love his dreamy golden locks. I hate you.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 08:17 PM) No, you're full of it because you can't read. Spare me that bulls***. I've conceded that I misread. Like it's never happened to you. Seems to me like you misread BA's uniform all the time, thinking it says, "Good ballplayer." But srlsly, man, chillz.

QUOTE(beautox @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 08:16 PM) You're my favorite BA supporter. Except maybe DA.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 08:10 PM) All of you who think Anderson belongs in AAA... join my club? :-) No.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 08:05 PM) You know that's a joke. Brian will never improve unless he gets playing time. He's still a better option than Erstad right now, because he can ground out three times a game just as easy. But since that won't happen, he needs to be in AAA getting at bats. Every manager in baseball, faced with suddenly-healthy-Erstad versus Brian-Anderson-coming-off-2006 would choose Erstad at this point. The approach is better, the attitude is better and so's the presence. Anderson belongs in the minors right now. Maybe forever. QUOTE(beautox @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 08:07 PM) +1, is it because hes a cool surfer dude? He's cool if lazy and egocentric are cool. If mediocre is cool, then I guess he's cool. /Guillen

I misread what Balta was specifically referring to. I wasn't trying to twist anything,.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 07:59 PM) I, and many others would say there are two gregs in this thread full of it. Only a matter of time before greg775 comes in here and in typical fashion kissing up the Royals making it a grand total of 3. I'm full of it because I think BA's terrible? Give me a break.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 07:56 PM) I'm just wondering, but do you hate Anderson because other people like him, or did he like kick your mother in the nuts or something? I don't hate Brian Anderson. I just think he's a great example of ego when it isn't called for, poor hitting and poor approach to hitting. It is obnoxious to see people gush about him. Just watching him at the plate makes it clear he has no clue what he's doing. It was clear last year, all year, and it's continued. But that's Ozzie's fault!!!!!111111111111111 I do like the cute attempt to insinuate that my mother has nuts. Your clever lulz!!111

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 07:52 PM) Brian Anderson in: AVG OBP SLG OPS July .313 .328 .469 .797 August .296 .367 .437 .804 What a crock. Post September, April, May and June. LET'S GO WHITE SOX

Joe Morgan doesn't watch baseball.

I've heard that Hillbilly Jim was a prick before.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 12:50 PM) I just dont want to here the Cy Youngification of any of the Royals pitchers. Wow, look at the break on that. Thats 1000 mph on the black, you just need to tip your cap. I know the ERA says 12.34, but that isnt what we are seeing tonight. This guy has at least 9 pitches with the different arm angles, and he throws strikes with all of them. Ooh Pauly just missed one, mercy. The 2nd baseman comes in near the pitchers mound to catch the 3rd out. I really do love you.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 10:56 AM) Ozzie had an club option for $2-3 million IIRC. Schueler was the GM and let it be known that the Ozzeroo was history. Ozzie had a lot of bad things to say about the White Sox. Pretty much the same things that triggered him to say awful things about Magglio. I thought Magglio calling Ozzie his "enemy" was what triggered Ozzie to go nuts? Why didn't Schueler want Ozzie around? Caruso? And what'd he say -- "the team is cheap," "they don't treat people right"?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 07:51 AM) Interesting fact: As bad of offensive player Brian Anderson was last year, his OBP matched the career OBP of his manager. In fact it was a little higher than the OBP his manager posted in 1997 when at the end of the season he was replaced and things got a little ugly. Can you tell me a little about the situation when Guillen was replaced? Was it a contract year? Was he traded? How'd he take it? What'd he say? What'd management say?

Papelbon has an intense face on the mound.

He's had some very hard hit balls. Especially today.

I got Cole Hamels, Scott Kazmir and Felix Hernandez off of drops. They all picked up Pettitte, Rich Hill and, I believe, K-Rod.

So are the overhead things like on airplane where anyone can open them or do they have locks? Is it just one big long one like on planes or different?
