yeah let's make this interesting bobby, ffs.

when did craig monroe become so difficult to strike out? seriously

anyone listen to the score yesterday when they were at cork & carrie's? even prior to that, when cooper called chris during the post-game and was like "Get off the air and get down here now", either his sense of humor eludes me or he was sick of waiting for chris to get down there, lol coop sounded hilarious, like he was drunk or something, and during the chat @ the bar, coop even had the nerve to call out Chris saying "last year you said Gavin wasn't any good" and i was surprised he put Chris on the spot like that on the air, but i've always felt that Coop absolutely hates the media

i remember in the offseason when alexei defected, there were a lot of people (in general) saying he was a project that needed time in the minors to adjust during the game yesterday, Hawk made an interesting comment, saying Alexei is probably the most talented player on our entire roster. he said he might not put up the numbers of the other guys but overall talent, he's probably our best player. anyone else buy into that line of thought or do you think Hawk was making an misinformed comment? i found it interesting, i certainly can't argue that alexei isn't full of talent, the dude is just a damn good ball player

QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 01:13 AM) Anyone know how many games they play on the road the second half of the season? 32 of 67 games are on the road in the second half so 35 home/32 road, nearly .500 starting today, we play 15 more games on the road of 32 total games through to July 18th, so we'll be going 17home-15away up to July 18th

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 10:03 PM) Only problem with boone? There arent' clones of him. he has been awesome. *remembers a game in baltimore* *recalls the rest of the season* *forgets about the fluke in baltimore*

hey guys fire greg walker swisher is a bust send ramirez down etc. etc. go sox!

As of the 7th inning OC: .253 AJ: .298 CQ: .282 PK: .216 JT: .209 NS: .221 JC: .296 AR: .298

btw, our hitting approach ALL game has consisted of one main element (for the most part) guys are going to opposite field if this team has truly started to try and hit the ball where it's pitched, given how teams have scouted us all year (force us to pull pitches on the outerhalf of the plate), this is exactly the same of run production that would occur where a team starts scratching its head after it's scouting report (make hitters pull outside pitches) fails

why not put quentin in RF and give JD the rest of the day off, seriously? put the youthful defenders out there and rest JD's legs, ffs.

alexei is a GD ballplayer

sounds very promising, get this done Kenny, low risk, high reward for sure.

QUOTE (Chet Lemon @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 02:14 PM) Hitters have a .339 BA against Livan this season. Livan almost no-hit us last time. :/

i went with alexei + bullpen, no reason needed for pen but as far as alexei goes, i feel given his lack of experience at this level, his performance has been remarkable

lol @ masset

just give alexei the starting 2B job for the rest of 2008, seriously. this should be a no brainer at this point, even if he slumps for a decent period of time, he's just flat out better than Uribe, and his range is unbelievable

ryan perry goes to detroit, RHP, 93-98mph fastball, 6'4 200lbs from arizona

how does beckham project to AAA/MLB? how many years away is he from the pros?

should do well tomorrow, knock on wood (my money is always on the count in 2008) lets sweep tomorrow then take at least 3 of 4 from the twins and start building a substantial lead in the ALC

imo we have the best pitching staff in baseball, in terms of ERA & least homeruns allowed (a stat that isn't weighed as much as I believe it should be) you could make a case for toronto and oakland but I think our staff is better, albeit slightly

what an embarrassment, i mean seriously. nice play alexei

jose is probably in between mussina and johnson in age, that's my guess

where's shingo at these days? lol

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 12:34 PM) He played in a league that is equivalent to high A, or a poor AA. He is learning on the job, and doing a damn fine job of it. He is signed for four years. He still could be considered a prospect. Steve Stone strongly disagrees with you. He compared Alexei's previous league to a step between AAA & MLB level, yesterday.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 04:12 PM) Guillen has enough after loss By Mark Gonzales - 3:47 p.m. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - After watching his underachieving offense go 2-for-14 in a 4-3 loss at Tampa Bay, manager Ozzie Guillen promised some changes to his White Sox roster. "Just be ready because I expect movement Tuesday," Guillen said. "I expect Kenny to do something Tuesday, and if we don’t do anything Tuesday, there are going to be a lot of lineup changes. That’s all I’m going to say about the offense. "It can be me. It can be (hitting coach) Greg Walker. It can be the players. It could be anybody. I’m sick and tired to watch this thing for a year and a half. I’m not protecting anybody anymore. (Bleep) it. "If they can’t get it done, Kenny should find someone to get it done. That’s it." link http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune....en-has-eno.html ok i said in the next 10-20 days, i didnt expect the next 2 days. lol
