You know it might be helpful to tell us what the f*** RON and CL&L are. Runners on and close and late?

The latest BA Hot Sheet A few days old. A lot of guys getting promoted this time of year with the first halves concluding. Gio and Valido get honorable mention.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 11:20 AM) Joey Fernandez? Yeah, that's one of the botcheries. Pretty damn funny. It's supposed to be Yudelmis Hernandez.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) It was a doubleheader and they needed an arm, Bull was on the right schedule. It happens. Should have sent Heath Phillips up, he was on schedule and dominating AA since he got demoted. Of course he ended up getting rocked last night too.

If Iowa heads into those final 4 games undefeated they will get severly tested. None of those teams are push overs, add the fact that they would be playing to knock off an undefeated and you have Iowa with a loss or 2 or 3.

I play on partypoker or pokerroom. We had soxtalk games going late last summer on pokerroom. I still play with DBAH0 occasionally.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 12:15 AM) do you have a link where it shows all our signed players at BA or is it subscription only? Here They botched a couple names on there, it's quite funny.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 12:16 AM) I can't wait until he gets his stuff together. He's gonna be a good one. I can't wait until he learns a 3rd pitch...if that ever happens. On a sidenote, he's just proof that scouting reports can be way off. His best pitch was supposed to be his developing change up last season.

QUOTE(TheHammer @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 12:23 AM) Carlos Lee is a better baseball player than Pods is so obviously some people will be upset with the deal. Wow, I'm sorry you live in a square box where HRs is all that wins ballgames. Pods is more valuable to this team than he was the Brewers and visa versa for Carlos and the Brewers. Just because the Brewers benifitted from the deal doesn't mean the Sox lost on the deal.

QUOTE(TheHammer @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 11:55 PM) Of course if Pods would start hitting like he did two seasons ago, people really wouldn't complain about the trade. You shouldn't be complaining anyway. QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 11:56 PM) A sophomore slump is an excuse for young guys... he was what 28 last year.... He is actually a litle older than Clee I think.... A sophomore slump has nothing to do with age. When you are a rookie pitchers don't know how to pitch to you, then they make the adjustment in the player's 2nd year. The 3rd year is for the hitter to adapt and become the player he will be the rest of his career.

BA has him as signed. MLB just screwed up.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) As for hitting... well he has been one of our best hitters but going into the trade he had only 2 years of major league experiance his rookie hitting .300 plus and than last year .242.. and he wasnt that good of a minor league hitter so really I dont think anyone expected him 2 be hitting as well as he has. It's called a sophomore slump. You couldn't have really expected him to hit like he did in 2004.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 10:59 PM) weird it shows Carter in the box score but at mlb.com it doesnt say we signed him yet... Make sure you are looking at the right Carter. We signed Vernon or Vince, whatever his name is, not Anthony Carter.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) Im nuts because while we are still 1st it doesnt mean everything KW did is perfect... and overall im a KW backer but I definitely wasnt behind this trade. Carlos Lee is a dumb, poor fielding baseball player. People here think he is something spectacular. I was begging the Sox to get rid of him. Podsednik is very arguably the most valuable hitter on this team.

I'm so sick of Horry. Duncan has had such a bad series by his standards and he's going to get Finals MVP, that's disgusting.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 10:19 PM) Holy snap, that's the DeLorean. Pimp ass ride. I wish I was Michael J Fox. I prefer good health personally. It's so sad to see him in his current state.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) BTW i still like this current team because we are obviously the best team in baseball right now but im just discussing the trade which i think we got ripped off. You're nuts.

Bristol wins in 12. They fell behind giving up 2 in the top half of the inning, but came back in the bottom half with 3 to win 7-6. They're 3-0. 4 errors for Bristol, 6 in the game. Ahh rookie ball, you suck so. Sanchez 0-4 with 3 Ks, but 2 walks and a run. Box Score Jim- Cunningham had played in both games before tonight, going 2-6 with a double, 2 RBI, and a run.

Bull got hit pretty damn hard, as expected. I just don't see why the Sox picked now to promote him.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 05:37 PM) Buster Olney of ESPN just said that the White Sox will win the A.L. Central because of some statistic that most teams win with a record as good as ours at this point in the season. It was something like that. No team that has ever had a 10 game lead before the all star break has failed to at least win their division or league back when that applied.

To go with what Y2HH said about Carlos being anti-clutch, Pods is super clutch. Scoring Position: 11-37 (.324), 15 RBI, 5 BB, 3 K Scoring Position, 2 out: 7-17 (.412), 6 RBI, 4 BB, 1 K Close and Late: 11-37 (.297), 6 RBI, 3 BB, 4 K All of those numbers are above or well above his overall numbers. Pods>Carlos for this team.

That really does explain it best. Nice use of stats while keeping it simple.

Wow, you really are ridiculous to be thinking that the dumbest baseball player ever (Carlos Lee) would be worth Podsednik.

Yeah, that is freaking classic. The whole Vader no thing is awesome.
