We get: Two allstars. They get: One and probably a B or C prospect.

This was exactly how I felt about the 2003 White Sox which I will never forget. Also the exact opposite of the Moneyball mindset.

Alomar has about one and a half legs on a good day. I don't think he has anymore Pudge left in him. I will say he is a great guy to have on the team　for both leadership and his game-calling abilities. One article said that Olivo had shown little progress in the latter area. Catcher's ERA is a very overlooked stat in baseball.

Reed was a prospect I understand, but I think Olivo was more than a prospect. We filled a big need on this team but created another one by dumping Miguel.

But if we had a Mark Jackson, I think he would be better than Politte.

As　much as I'm upset about Munoz's performance, we all have to agree that Cliff Politte has been an even bigger disappointment for most of this season. Can he get anybody out?

A little more 5th starter love from the land of the rising sun. I've got a good feeling about this one.

Do we have a 5th starter spot coming up during the Montreal series? No sweep then.

Politte has no business being in a close ballgame.

I'm a casual follower of boxing but I'm mostly limited to what I see on HBO and other basic cable channels. I'd have to say Pretty Boy Floyd is #1 in my pound for pound rankings right now.

Ballpark factors have to be considered when you're talking about parks as different as Minute Maid Park and Wrigley Field.

This works: Except for that we are currently -3 in our wins.

What kind of sombrero does Jenkins get for his performance.

He's a Billy Beane wunderkind. He can hit and take pitches, probably will develop more power too.

I believe Wimpy left on some bad terms with Sox brass. Some old timer can probably fill in the details.

Koch was pretty good tonight.

17 innings! A four hitter! That's almost 2 shutouts in a row of still a good offense despite the injuries. Edit: Almost forgot the Angels were also shutout in their previous game by the Indians.

Politte has about the same pitching "arsenal" as Koch. Shingo has no MLB saves.

Jackson has had his moments this year, Politte hasn't done s*** in a while.

Ok... save situation now and Politte coming in!?!?

14-11 ballgame now.

Sportsline says Marte is warming, I think it's dumb if he pitches today unless he really needs the work.

This is pretty long... and finally 34.32% Total Geek.

See you in two years.
