QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) Dude gives up a lot of fly-balls. QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) He didn't do this in the minors. His pitches have been great when the ball is down, well placed and decent movement. When it gets up, it looks like batting practice.

Pointing out that ALL of this has happened with 2 outs!

#2! HOLY CRAP THAT WENT FAR!

400! I love milestone homeruns! That was a bullet!

I would have been really disappointed with that deal, even as a one-for-one deal, which I'm sure it wouldn't have been. Glad KW didn't sacrifice Gordon for a rental.

I've had MLB.tv for about 3 weeks now and it's probably the best entertainment investment I've ever made. I use it mostly to keep an edge on my fantasy baseball leagues, but it's also fantastic to just be able to watch historical or potentially historical moments as they happen. Last night alone I found myself rushing to get my computer twice to catch potential no-hitters in progress. It's really a nice package, especially at it's current price. There's an occasional blip in the stream but it usually works itself out pretty quickly.

After Gordon's home run just now: "you could have hung all the drawers in cook county on that line drive." That's a gem right there.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) Don't Stop (Believin'). Get it? Get it? I see what you did there.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 05:30 PM) But if we don't achieve the second "get it", the first "get it" is rather useless; therefore, the second "get it" has to be of utmost importance. But what if we don't stop, skip a get it, and only get the second it. That's also problematic!

I believe we must first get it(1) before we get it(2), so I feel that that is most important.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 08:07 AM) I'm pretty sure Harper has already been moved to the outfield. Last I heard, they still hadn't made any decisions on where he'll play. He's a capable 3b, OF and catcher. If Dunn leaves, they'll have a hole in the corner-outfield though, so they may be interested in a catcher.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 07:56 AM) I'm not sure what the Nationals would be looking for in return, but it seems many teams covet young pitching. That said, I agree about Hudson. Are we willing to give up Flowers, though? Would they be interested in a catching prospect? I don't think a catching prospect would be incredibly appealing to them. I think they expect Bryce Harper to hit the big leagues pretty quickly.

Via Twitter: Buster_ESPN: The Nats have reached crossroads with Adam Dunn:Sign him or trade him. If a trade, he White Sox are a great fit; Sun-Times says talks began. Dunn as an everyday DH and occasional 1b or RF looks like the missing piece to me. Olney* misspelled in the byline here, my bad.

Posting from the road to the ball park.. Anyone have a weather report for around gametime?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 03:48 PM) White Sox: 3 vs Braves, 3 vs Cubs, 3 at Royals Twins: 3 at Brewers, 3 at Mets, 3 vs Tigers Tigers: 3 at Mets, 3 at Braves, 3 at Twins I'm pumped! Not a bad stretch to keep the forward progress going. Looks like the schedule is on our side!

That ball park is huge, if this game were played in the Cell, the score would be much different.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 01:28 PM) Some interesting numbers with their pro-rated remaining 2010 salary as of July 31st: Adam Dunn (4.08 mil)- .283 Avg, .376 OBP, 16 HR, 39 RBI. Prince Fielder (3.57 mil, 11 mil next year)- .260 Avg, .397 OBP, 13 HR, 26 RBI. Adam LaRoche (2.38 mil)- .260 Avg, .348 OBP, 9 HR, 42 RBI. LaRoche's career #'s pre and post all-star break. He's consistently better later in the season. Not a bad cheap addition, plus he gives Paulie even more days at DH, keeping him fresh. G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB K SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS 528 1816 250 460 130 5 72 284 205 442 3 4 .253 .329 .449 .779 374 1290 188 387 92 3 73 227 131 316 1 4 .300 .363 .546 .909

I'll be wearing my black jersey because I like my black jersey.. if that happens to be a part of the "blackout," awesome. If it's just a bunch of people wearing black and some wearing white.. atleast the majority is in team colors, there to support the White Sox on the greatest day of the year, Opening day.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 07:52 AM) Per Yahoo rules: that's much more convenient than the league I played in last year.. had to have 10 or 15 starts before eligible. I had beckham and had to wait a while to slot him in at 3b

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) Which is the best iPhone app to use Twitter? QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 09:20 PM) tweetie's what i use. If you have multiple accounts it's the rams. tweetie is definitely worth the $2.99 if you have multiple accounts. Their integration of lists is awesome, i have an MLB list, a WhiteSox list, a real-life-friends list, a music list, etc., it's pretty nice. twitteriffic is solid for the more basic user though.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Feb 24, 2010 -> 05:23 PM) I'm in, just had my first draft in 2 years and i think it came out realllllly solid so now i wanna do another so as long as theres a draft im down. BTW check out this BA team C John Baker 1b Miguel Cabrera 2b Gordon Beckham (yahoo better get on the ball and make him 2b eligible) 3b Evan Longoria SS Marco Scutaro OF BJ Upton OF Manny Ramirez OF Michael Cuddyer Util Carlos Quentin Util Teahen or Swisher BN Teahen or swisher and Felipe lopez SP King Felix SP Verlander RP Soria RP Cordero P Josh Johnson P AJ Burnett P Johnathon Sanchez P Jenks BN Zambrano BN Dice-K BN Sweaty Freddy hahaha oh boredom, im sure not one person gives a f**k lol Looks nice to me.. i'd kill for that team in my money league, Gordon will be 2b eligible about 2 weeks into the season.. I think standard rule is after 10 appearances. I'm not sure how Yahoo works though.

This is going to be so awesome. I can't even imagine the things that will be said.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 10:44 PM) I'm interested. If there's enough interest in a 3rd keeper league, I'd love to do that too. I'd love to get in a keeper league.. never done it.. would love to get into it.

I think it'd be awesome if no announcement is made, we all keep speculating and he just shows up at spring training when position players report.

why didn't we start a pool on when/where he'll sign. It was spoken of and then it never happened. I'm a little disappointed.
