Wasn't the key to Torres' success in the minors his low walk rate? I wonder why that hasn't carried over so far.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:53 PM) With Ramirez and Nix out who plays the middle infield with Getz if we tie it? Castro would play SS.

Pena is a pretty good pitcher. He has good stuff.

10 games? That's a pretty weak penalty.

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 10:52 AM) I'm always skeptical when a guy is suddenly better because of a new "workout regimen". Are we talking about Pods or Clayton Richard? The latter gained almost 2 mph on his fastball this year.

This will probably get me speared, but does Pods' sudden streak of health make anyone else wonder if he found some magic juice?

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 5, 2009 -> 10:27 AM) I just added "Beckham" to my list of T9 words, lol... Is it bad that I've texted about him enough to have to do that? I messaged my wife last night to say that I thought he was probably the best position player on the team. She asked if I was drunk.

I wear tight tights if I ride in the winter. Let me tell you--I look amazing. Meanwhile, f*** bicyclists. f*** them all to hell. They just make me so mad. I can't stand it. f*** them in their sexy pants.

I am assuming that Torres or Carrasco will be going on Saturday. I was thinking Hudson on Sunday if Contreras is dropped from the rotation. I don't think they'd have Hudson make his MLB debut on 3 days rest, but what do I know?

We may need Hudson as the #4 a few days from now.

Anyone notice that BA has 4 homeruns since being sent down and subsequently traded?

QUOTE (Special K @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 02:02 PM) False Statement. He's good, but when Crede was at his best he hit .285 with about 30 hrs and 95 RBIs, not to mention I think he was pretty good at 3b too. Not saying Beckham can't/won't do it, because I know he will, but let's not forget our roots here, Crede is the measuring stick. What about every other season of his career?

Alexei was moved down before he got hurt.

Well s***. Tigers are losing big--gotta get it together.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 01:19 PM) Michael Kay just described that last play as "Melky came hard; he came hard on his chest." Oh my... Perhaps he said milky? The other day he said "Coke deals."

Carlos will be available the next time the 5th starter slot comes up (Thursday), correct?

Well...they are premium tix.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 1, 2009 -> 11:29 PM) She must read/post on this board, because I have never seen "Slayer" used as a nickname for Beckham except around here. Now that we have that out in the open, God love Gordon because he's going to be a great player and is already perhaps the best interview on our team, but when it comes to his response to the Slayer question, he's full of s***. IIRC, the original telling of the story on here was that "he slays _____ like no other," not that people actually called him Slayer.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:08 PM) Does anybody know if those opt out clauses were part of the deal? Oh hell no. I haven't heard anything about it, but there's no way.

WSCR is talking about Padres eating some salary. Really hard to say that it is an overpay till everything shakes out.

Is he likely to be a Type A?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 12:09 AM) For all we know he'd be back down in the minors after having a terrible start. The time in the minors was beneficial to Beckham. I'm glad the SOx did things the way they did. Hell, even than people were upset thinking the Sox had pushed him too fast. Agreed.
