Lucy is having impressive ABs.

That last one was a ball. If he were a more significant player it would be 3-3 right now.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) Alexei... LOL God bless him but Konerko has to be the slowest ball player on the planet. I think Paulie would blow away Bengie Molina in a sprint. He may be the slowest player in history.

Stone said in spring training, Alexei lost 5 lbs this offseason. How does he lose weight? He's almost see-through.

Alexei is due. Its fairly warm in Dallas. Somebody tell him its May.

A hit here would be huge for the Sox and even more huge for Quentin.

How many times do we see this happen. For the love of God, you have to get the guy in from third. You have to have a plan.The baseball IQ of this team is questionable.

Are the Sox going exclusively with the black tops this year?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 08:29 PM) The organization's negligence of OBP is showing up so far this season in a bad way. KW said he wanted a .350 OBP, then acquired guys who rarely have a .350 OBP.

I think Andruw would be even better if he just tried to hit it 450 instead of 500 feet every time.

The Sox every day leadoff man has the same sluggling pct. as he does batting average. The everyday SS has the same on base pct. as batting average. I know its early but today is the 20th game of the year.

Pierre has been a waste so far this year.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) Lucy with as many walks as AJ now as well? And millions of times more walks than Alexei has this season just in one AB.

The White Sox have to be one of the worst road draws in the AL so far.

Reality has to hit sometime, but Lucy has been productive offensively just about every game he's played.

Quentin is running like his foot might be bothering him. I hope not. He'll start hitting soon so will Beckham. When Beckham starts hitting, he should lead off and Pierre can bat second and bunt all the time.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 06:40 PM) If the Bulls don't land one of the big 3 they're f***ed, going to be a .500 team for the next few years barring any unforeseen circumstance like lucky FA signings. One of those 3 would make the Bulls a perennial contender, but without them, they won't be good enough to get any high seeds or have any real shot at making it out of the second round, and they won't be bad enough to get a lottery pick. They currently are in NBA hell, right in the middle of being great and being horrible, but a FA or 2 could change that. If they don't get one of the big 3 or 4 if you include Johnson, I hope they don't blow their wad on a couple of lesser guys. Its always advantageous to have a lot of cap space. I know its beyond a longshot, but if you were Lebron and seriously looked at the 2 rosters, Cleveland and Chicago, you would have to say Chicago is far superior with yourself than Cleveland is or will be with you. If Lebron signed with the Bulls and the Bulls key players remained healthy, they would dominate the NBA until their contracts ran out. Seriously, 6 or 7 titles minimum if you ask me. I really think when its all said and done, Lebron will be thought of as close to Michael Jordan's equal as anyone who has ever played or maybe even better. There's nothing he can't do, and he's bigger and stronger than MJ. Of course, he will have to shine in the Finals first.

Paulie put his band aid right on his bat.

Ricketts need something to fill the trophy case he just built.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 10:56 AM) Will his hairpiece be attending? Yeah, I think "the Piv" is more concerned about wind than rain. Chasing that thing down would be embarrassing.

The Sox have the correct pitcher on the mound for this potential sweep. Its time to get on a roll.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 12:42 PM) How did Sox fans react to his first at bat yesterday? He hasn't played.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 06:31 PM) Fun win. I have one suggestion for the White Sox--how about just not allowing reaching over the rail under ANY circumstance. Obvious foul ball, slow rollers to the rail...anything. That fan could have meant a loss. Just let the security people down the lines get them and hand them to a kid. Fox finally showed where the runner was after about 15 times of just watching the guy grab the ball, and it appeared the umpire did make the correct call. There's a pretty good chance if it happened when the White Sox were on offense Ozzie would have argued. He probably wouldn't have been booted, but I think he's been looking for a reason to be run for a while. Fans aren't allowed to reach over for a ball if its in play. That guy was booted and had to give up the ball.

Regardless of what Ozzie said in January, home runs are better than stolen bases.

When I played Little League many years ago I had to play for the Cubs. The uniforms weren't so bad. It was a generic C on white uniforms with Cubs in white on the Blue C on the left chest. What sucked was the authentic Cubs hat I had to wear. It was traumatizing. I would only wear it when I had to. I would hold it in my hand riding my bike to the games. I would wear it in the field, but immediately remove it after the 3rd out of an inning. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I was so sickened having to wear this hat at all, I talked my way into catching so I could just wear a helmet. I'm probably the only guy who talked his way from SS to C just because of a hat.
