QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 20, 2010 -> 08:22 PM) Abreu's pretty awesome. About to be 3-0 or 6-0 yep jake's back to his wandering around walking people self

The guillen resting does not work as he does not sit guys that are slumping so this is a Rios rest day......come on they have played 7 games in 10 days with trips to Minnesota, KC and Detroit that is hectic travel. I have yet to see a guy play really well and have him say the extra rest got it for me. I do not care what type of slump Rios is in, he should be playing though it who knows though he might have a neck injury of some sort. He was also out a couple of days for his kids birth earlier this month. Need to keep him fresh for the late season charge to 75 wins. Yep that outside the box thinking is really working. Erv should be able to mow right through this lineup tonight. Kotsay DH and batting 5th really why does he bat 5th??????

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ May 20, 2010 -> 12:29 PM) Versteeg is Kane Light. Offensively but defensively Versteeg is really good. He is playing on the line that caused the Sharks #1 line to be broken up. The play he made where he got in the middle of his self created 0-2 was fantastic. The Toews and Kane line are playing against the other teams third rated offensive line which could be their best defensive line but they can cherry pick a lot.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 20, 2010 -> 08:47 AM) Don't rush Viciedo. If anything we have seen that he takes a while to adjust to the higher level. He is just getting acclimated to AAA, and we would start all over if he was moved up here. Do I overestimate the atmosphere and surroundings not chemistry but surroundings to think that with the latino presence on the White Sox that a MLB promotion may make it easier. I know nothing about MiLB baseball in regard to Latino players and what not but having ozeroo, Ramirez and Vizquel could make the transition easier. I am all for a DH/3B/1B guy but would not like to see him rushed as well. Also if Kotsay is gone it only makes it better.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 19, 2010 -> 09:38 PM) I've seen enough. I'm not really anti-Walker. But a change needs to be made. It's one thing when a career scrub save one season like Mark Teahen sucks. But what's happened to CQ, Ramirez and Beckham is unacceptable. I agree with you but Ramirez sits there like the rest of them and swings as hard as they can hoping to run into one. Somebody needs to talk about cutting down your swing ............somebody

He just isn't a good hitter blown away but a 90 mph fastball. how long will this nonsense continue

I am finally starting to realize that this is a tv show not a movie and they can't just sit and explain everything, the show would've lasted one season. I think a lot of the BS was just entertainment that they are weaving back in, in certain cases. The numbers, time travel, Locke, polar bears, Abaddo, Dharma, Rose/Bernard, etc. These were just things to fill 6 seasons of television and the key is to entertain us Sunday for 2.5 hours.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2010 -> 08:43 PM) Really, Carlos Silva dominating? It is the NL. Also Z is being stretched out to moved to the rotation.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 18, 2010 -> 06:57 PM) Hanley is whining about being benched. I suggest he shuts the f*** up and gets over himself like Jimmy Rollins did. BENCH HIM UNTIL MONDAY!!!!!!

This team is playing .500 ball for the last 6 weeks or so. They need to get more consistent.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 18, 2010 -> 10:34 PM) Not much offensive pressure from the hawks since their last goal They need to not give up anything soft.

These refs are terrible should have been a bad intereference on the other end and then a cheap hold is called.

This is a friggin crazy pace

That tired me out just watching it. Niemi.....WOW Not sure what to say about the conversation of moving him but Huet will not be on the payroll next year. Without Niemi's play thus far there is no doubt the Hawks lose game one and are behind in this one. The key is he is still on his skates more than earlier in the year. Stephan Waite is looking like Don Cooper right now.

I got them right but isn't the Lamp Post actually a Dharma station off of the island?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 18, 2010 -> 02:50 PM) Yeah, so the typos there made it say that you've got a feeling this game is going to not get a lot closer. and I was wrong about it getting closer and putting guys away. I wish this team would get on a nice roll and have some sort of consistency. 3-3 trip is not bad but it should have been much better. Garcia shut down the Twins and Tigers.

There you go..that is how to put a guy away.

I thought the Sox bench was bad but the Tigers is worse. How do they win with Don Kelly playing 5 times a week.....oh wait.....Jenks is unable to put s*** hitters away.....I got a feeling this game is goig not get a lot closer.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2010 -> 02:43 PM) Yes, but he warms up nearly every game. Very rarely does he get a full rest on a game day. At this point, let's just hope it's nothing that requires surgery. So do most good set up men. Maybe that is why there are not that many of them.

Jenks needs to simply throw 96 MPH fastballs on the corners and see what happenses today no walking guys and s*** like that.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 18, 2010 -> 02:32 PM) Well, it has to come sooner or later. You're not going to abuse somebody like Thornton for so many years and not expect him to get hurt, even if his mechanics are nearly flawless. He has thrown 7 less innings than Zumaya this year. I think the overuse thing is overrated. He is on pace to throw 80 innings this year.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 18, 2010 -> 02:28 PM) My lord. Try using firefox. It has built in spell check. Sorry was trying to get a thought out too quickly. What did AJ do?

QUOTE (docsox24 @ May 18, 2010 -> 02:18 PM) anyone who cheers for their fantasy team over their real team is not a fan. one time we were in vegas and a bunch of us each lost about $500 on a football game. one guy was happy because his fantasy guy did well. i swear he was almost murdered right there that is why I said it would not be good for my well being if he homered. The cbssportsline snafu was what got me. I always bet an amount i am fine losing against the Sox. I think of it this way. I will spend $25 a day to watch the Sox win. If they lose, hey I made $25. I would never bet on the Sox as a lose is a double kick in the nuts and I am not sure why people do that. what would you pay to see the OSx win teh WS....I thought of this amout nand bet agsint them. I never regretted it.

I have Cabrera in fantasy baseball and Arraon Hill. When Cabreara made the out his line was switched with Hill's who has a home run and 3 rbi today....I thought cabreara hit a slam..which for fantasy would have been nice but for my well being, not so much The Blue Jays are good and the White Sox outplayed them..really is sad this season is where it is currently.

White Sox are 12th in the AL in pitching. I did not realize they were that bad. The effortless innings logged by the offense on a regualr basis is why I can not get behind this team at all. They make corpseball days look productive.
