QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) Hopefully Morel can end the season with at least 30 RBI's. Wonder if there's ever been a player at that position to play mostly full-time and end up with fewer than 30 in a year? Maybe Chone Figgins, but he was predominantly a leadoff hitter. Here's my all-time favorite -- San Diego SS Enzo Hernandez, in 1971: 549 AB's, 12 RBI! http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hernaen01.shtml

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 29, 2011 -> 09:21 PM) Yeah I was like what is he doing with the ball. He looked like he was on a different planet. That's it! PLANET RIOS!

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 29, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) Rios forgot how many outs there were... Yes, he did. My God.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:01 PM) De Aza's had some really strong at bats against tough pitchers. He's impressive. Hope he can stay healthy because he looks like a good player.

Hey, De Aza might be good.

Xfinity. One history-making play at a time. By someone wearing jersey number 87. Worst commercial of all-time and heavy on the rotation. Please make it stop.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 10:53 PM) Wow, just some terrible baseball tonight. Once again, playing like a team that wants to get the season done as soon as possible. Dunn shouldn't get one more f***ing start this year over Viciedo. What? Bench Dunn? Jesus, man, why would you put a big bopper like that on the pine?

Dunn hit the tar out of that ball. Or not.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 09:45 PM) That was not a good decision to throw Beckham a fastball. Not below the belt anyway.

I'm shocked that Buehrle has struggled once we went back to a 5 man rotation; it's not like he's out of shape, has to be treated with kid gloves during spring training and his arm is essentially tired from June on, every goddamn year. Seriously, when Phil Rogers suggested a few weeks ago that Ozzie move off the 6-man and "ride" Mark, I once again concluded that Rogers is silly. Anyone who watches the Sox knows Mark's history, despite what a competitor and great guy he is.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 09:30 PM) tie it up fatass That was exciting -- Dunn hit the ball to the outfield.

QUOTE (South Paw @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 10:11 PM) i can't think of a single 9th inning comeback this season It's quite the droopy crew.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) Flowers is basically our 2nd best hitter at this point. It's amazing what happens when some young guys get to actually, you know, come to the major leagues. In the same vein, I am absolutely convinced that if Dayan Viciedo were in this lineup, the effect on the rest of the team would be dramatic. The ball just jumps off his bat, and we sure as hell don't have anyone for whom that could be said, Konerko excepted.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 08:26 PM) Ah, never mind... @NorfolkTides Norfolk Tides Changes for the Knights to accommodate the departure of Dayan Viciedo who was a little shaken up after diving for a ball last inning. Fact: You can't get shaken up diving for a ball in Norfolk if you're playing first base in Chicago.

Vizquel is now our DH, which is bad, but not quite as bad as last year when Ozzie started him in that position. Yes, that actually happened.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:04 AM) There was the slider Damn, good call on that.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:58 PM) Walks are not as majestic as the pop-out. Majesty, thy name is Chen.

AL Central, baby!

Hmm. Pretty good numbers there for Cabrera with the bases loaded.

The White Sox are constantly working against themselves. Just unreal to watch them play this year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:52 PM) If this follows the pattern of other Sox extra innings home losses over the years, a double will clear the bases. Followed by a ballpark full of desperate, drunken swearing at Ozzie . . .

And the always-late Don Cooper emerges . . .

God, Crain is jumping around everywhere out there.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 11:28 PM) Crain's got nothing left. Ozzie used up all the Crain in the first half. Crainbrink

I always like the part of a long game where you can hear random drunks yelling in an increasingly empty ballpark. We're there now. Good times.
