Oh, I see. Heart attack avoided.

What's wrong with thome? Why are there no threads about it here or articles on the sox's site?

Got away with a lot of s*** there

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 11:28 PM) AJP has to be the worst defensive catcher in baseball. Hahahaha

The other week I was listening to ron santo talk to whoever his partner is about "ice hot tamales" and how confusing they were while driving my car down I-55. It took every bit of will I had to keep myself from turning my car into the kankakee river. I realize I could have just turned off the radio but the memory would still be there.

Did I just see ron karkovice walk by my house?

Not very grinder like at all.

Maybe he is going to pull a roger clemens like move and jump in come june. haha

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 09:12 PM) Erstad has a .299 career lifetime batting average as the leadoff hitter. non-sequitur much?

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 08:25 PM) I miss the fat version of Benny the Bull. That guy was arrested on drug charges more times than robert downey jr.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 08:11 PM) Any word on start time? They all ignored me when I asked. So no, no word.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 08:06 PM) Yeah, Everyone knows that it takes at least 408 AB's before you can write a person off as a failure for life.

QUOTE(rafacosta @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 07:46 PM) Haha! What a block by Zo...let's go heat! hehe! A brazilian heat sox fan? Unpossible

Have they given us a clue when this might start?

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 12:37 AM) Anderson had a .638 OPS vs LHP last season. Erstad has a 3-year OPS vs. LHP of .630. There's not much difference. Right. I am not saying Anderson would be a huge improvement but at least he would get the AB he needs to grow as a player.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 12:31 AM) Yes. Anderson is terrible with the bat. He looks absolutely s***ty. I would rather he went down in the minors. We saw Anderson play last year. I want to see Erstad play this year. That seems pretty unreasonable to me considering erstad's OBP is less than 200 against LHP. I simply can't see brian doing worse than that.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 12:19 AM) Anderson has turned into the White Sox's version of the Bears backup QB. I can understand the argument for not batting Erstad leadoff. I can understand the argument that you want to keep the guy healthy and give him some days off. However, I still can't see the argument for replacing Erstad with Anderson. No one has ever made a good argument for that on this board, but yet people still want to see Anderson replace Erstad. Do you really think that Erstad would outperform Anderson against lefties? I just don't understand why both players play can't get some playing time -then we could tell who is the better performer instead of arguing about it. Instead he just sits on the bench as somewhat of an unknown.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 12:10 AM) I think he's heating up. Paulie is not over the hill. Loved Thome hitting that dribber to foil the shift late. If a team runs the shift, it seems like it should be a fine-able offense to ground out to the right side. I'd take that dribbler through the open hole every time if I was Thome. Then if they play it regular, go for the deep bombs. Do you all agree? Or should he blast away when the shift is on? I think it just depends on the situation. RISP, outs, etc.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 12:00 AM) Ozuna/Mackowiak would better than Erstad in my opinion. I think in a platoon they could produce an OBP around .350. I don't see Erstad being able to do that. I know he's had a couple of good games, but Erstad hasn't been a high OBP player since 2000. I think he shouldn't be hitting 1 or 2. You want to put mack back out in center? *shudders*

I might have said konerko sucks, because he did suck. Its not as if he is going to suck forever.

Trot Nixon makes $3 million a year as well. Nevermind, I understand you now. At first I thought you were saying that money was an issue.

QUOTE(ChiSoxLifer @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 11:38 PM) The only fact I see here is that this is an opinion. Do you care to discuss this further? Do you really want to do that?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 09:46 PM) Top of the order for us. They'll have the bottom of theirs. Too bad our lead off guy should be in the 8 spot.
