QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) But things like ERA and WHIP have some predictive value Of course they do, but the thing is Jenks isn't always a crappy pitcher like he was earlier.. if he was always crappy, the save % would not be there

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 02:08 PM) Damnit Moose shut up. Is he talkin about Purdue yet and how he played every sport offered

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 02:05 PM) Strike out. First big AB for Dayan Viciedo. Let's do it Tank. ?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 02:03 PM) I don't have that feeling that he will blast one out. If your predicting powers are as good as your nickname giving powers, I have zero faith in you making them do anything

haha man ozzie, that was funny

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:57 PM) 7am is early? yes

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:35 PM) Oh great, Moose in the radio booth for the next 2/3 of the game. I hate listening to that guy, he tells the same damn story every time hes on

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) What was the ERA and hits allowed in those saves? I bet that Todd Jones' percentage was good as well. As long as they save the game, it doesnt matter what the other numbers were..

theres the CQ we know and love

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 05:01 PM) I'm sure there was some but there aren't a lot of teams out there looking for an everyday catcher especially in the middle of June and on top of it KW had very little leverage; any GM he talked to was aware of AJ's pending 10/5 rights knowing that if KW wanted to deal him hassle free it'd have to be before they kick in so any return for him would have been so low that it really wouldn't be worth it. Yes

I really doubt that there was no interest in AJ at all.. and even so, there would be more interest in July than there is in late May

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:56 PM) And the reason why I responded the way I did...is that I keep having to make that bloody post. I know, I figured everyone would have gotten with the program after the initial AJ thread

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:50 PM) His elbow is way out in front of his hips though, so it seems like all the force generated by rotating his body is getting lost and his elbow is doing most of the work Well to be fair, he isn't really throwing like he would be on a mound in that picture..

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:53 PM) To me, it seems clear we should hang onto him and offer arbitration to get the draft picks. Just my 2 cents... its just funny because ive seen Balta make at least 30 posts screaming that there will be no draft picks over the past month

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) A prime photo showing the stain he puts on his arm. Yuck. I hope he stays healthy. It just looks weird because of how skinny he is

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:36 PM) No, it wasn't. My apologies. I figured since I posted it RIGHT after bigruss complained about it, any sarcastic accents wouldn't have been needed.. no reason for apologies..

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:34 PM) You're not getting draft picks!!!! YOU'RE NOT GETTING DRAFT PICKS!!!! You'd be getting AJ Pierzynski back next year on a 1 year, $7 million+ deal. No s*** sherlock, I thought it would be painfully obvious I was joking..

We should just offer him arbitration, ide rather have the draft picks than a minimal return at the deadline..

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) It certainly raises the team's confidence. They don't care who they beat. The thing is, this team was probably mentally screwed the first couple months of the season. By winning all these games against s***ty teams, they've probably got a little swagger back. Early on in the year, we would have laid down in a game like yesterday. You're seeing a difference in attitude and the team is playing up to their talent potential. I get all that, I am mainly talking about people on this board.. I mean, at least wait until we get back on our regular schedule before you set the bar so high, or they will be the same ones freaking out if we start losing again..

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 12:45 PM) The NL is not THAT bad. Its not about them being THAT bad, its that people thing we have all of the sudden become a playoff team because we have creamed the Cubs, Pirates, and Nationals..

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 12:37 PM) I can't take credit for something KHP said. It is overblown. If it was really that bad, the White Sox would be a .670 team against the NL. Its not overblown at all

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 12:22 PM) You should love it. We've played .570 ball against the NL all these years. Only .511against the AL. but I thought this NL thing was waaaaaaaay overblown?

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 07:36 AM) This may have been mentioned before on this site, but in the game Red Dead Redemption, you play a dice game called Liar's Dice against a dude named Lyle Mouton. ha hahahaha man I saw that too a few weeks ago and immediately laughed at that.. I use to have a baseball signed by Lyle Mouton that I got at the Sox game YEARS ago

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 12:08 AM) The Blazers turned down the #4 pick for Batum. http://twitter.com/chadfordinsider I don't understand this from either side at all. Eh, if you already have a 21 year old kid who shows promise why give him away for a chance to get what you already had?
