QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 28, 2006 -> 12:03 AM) Oh yeah, also the '93 Blue Jays had Ed Sprague start as a rookie. Well, he did play a part in nearly killing Greg Zaun. He got a couple of hits and didn't completely suck in the field. That'd be better than Juan right now.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 27, 2006 -> 11:49 PM) Brian Anderson and Pedro Lopez are the only ones I can think of. That was a heck of a week.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 27, 2006 -> 11:09 PM) Let me also point out that I'm not a Bill James fanatic here, but Anderson's OBP is probably his most important offensive stat right now since everytime he gets on base, it means we roll over to the top of the order. Plus, we have plenty of other guys to bat in runs this year anyways. It's almost like how after last year, the fact that Scott has 15 RBI right now is a miracle of some sort.

HT has Uribe with -1.1 batting WS and 1.2 fielding win shares, good for seventh worst in the majors for SS.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 27, 2006 -> 11:03 PM) I have a feeling Alex gets the start tomorrow. Yeah, I've thought that a few times before, but it doesn't seem to happen.

...and Kid Rock

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 27, 2006 -> 11:00 PM) Ok, so Oz when on this rant after the game, and obviously they pulled these quotes from the rant, right? I am going to go with Kal here and say that Oz is trying to light a fire under there ass, especially with Uribe and Ando... But where is the quote about Uribe? I'm scared that he's just gonna keep putting him out there because he was a light hitting SS. Uribe has likely cost us at least 2 games in the last week.

Well, a single to CF/RCF late in the game was certainly a nice place to start.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:57 PM) Actually Soxtalk decided early on last year that when Kong walked after '06, Dye would be the Sox' everyday 1B.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:54 PM) That's still an incredibly stupid reason to keep someone on the roster, if Kong needs a day off and Thome ain't gonna play the field. Guess what? Cintron, Mack or Widge get a day at 1B. That's 9 combined career games at first. If they can do it, fine, but at least we know Ross can play first.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:51 PM) Why is Ross Gload currently on this team? Instead of sending down a valuable player in order to add to the pen, why not let go of the never used Ross Gload. Someone will need to play first if Konerko ever takes a day off, I'd rather not play Jim there.

Where is Uribe for AL SS?

He's fifth on the team in walks, despite having like 60% of the AB of the guys above him.

It's gotta be frustrating as hell knowing that in any other division, except maybe the other Central, they'd have lapped the field twice.

Anderson is 13th in baseball in defensive win shares, 2.2, FWIW.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:28 PM) Maybe it's his suspension, and the Sox are trying to find a way to wezzle out of it No.

Anderson isn't even the worst at the plate in our starting lineup.

Owens. .232/.291/.315 This should be the last mention of Jerry Owens in this thread. His slugging is barely above .300 in AAA.

The state of Iowa doesn't necessarily suck, but the DM Register does as far as sports coverage. Bring back the Big Peach dammit.

Sean Tracey?

If what we want out of Brian is a 240 BA, then if that's what he gets for the rest of the year, he's gonna still be below .200 for a while.

Back up to yellow, soon, I fear.

Philly still rolling, ERA down below 2 here in the 6th, up 4-0. What are his vs. LHB stats? .116 vs LHB .186 vs RISP For Cheat. .118 BABIP vs LHB

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 27, 2006 -> 07:21 PM) Like your record when starting game threads? Proven fact, douche.

Yes.
