Sure, his K rate has gone down. But he's turned into a groundball pitcher since 2005. He was sometimes shaky in the 2005 regular season -- he blew 2 saves in 9 chances. Granted, he was probably not as good in 2008 as he was in 2007 or 2006, but he is a different kind of pitcher than he was in 2005.

Manny has been on some of Dewan's worst fielder lists, FWIW.

Also, do you think they'll offer OC arbitration at least?

QUOTE (rockren @ Oct 31, 2008 -> 10:46 AM) Yeah Fields can play... that's why Uribe filled in at 3B when Crede went down at the end of the year... This smokescreen is obvious. You could be right, but he was hurt.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Oct 24, 2008 -> 11:50 AM) I saw a Republican Political Blogger in the AM New York today say that $150,000 would have been spent on 10 of Obama's Custom Made Suits. Ummmm yeah.............. This is silly, but I read that Obama's suits were $2500 and off the rack.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Oct 14, 2008 -> 06:54 AM) And there is a huge difference between THE candidate having these issues and the VP candidate. Do we really want another William Clinton in office? So which candidate is more like Bill Clinton?

Anyone believe the Hillary/staffer rumors early in the primary? I sure didn't. I don't buy the Obama rumors either. There's only one candidate of the four that is publicly known as an adulterer and no one cares (including me).

Cowley (on WSCR) said that Toby will most likely be back and that his option is considered affordable by Sox brass compared to what FA catchers are likely to get.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 8, 2008 -> 03:26 PM) There are two things to keep in mind. 1) Republicans generally don't trust pollsters, so they either decline to answer, or just don't get polled at all. 2) Many people will tell a pollster that they are voting for Obama because it is the 'cool' thing to do, or they want to avoid being called a racist, or a host of other reasons, and when they actually vote, will vote McCain. Remember all the exit polls that had Kerry winning by huge amounts, and then it turned out he didn't win at all? People screwing with pollsters. Go ahead, cream your jeans with each new poll, but nothing is over until its over. He may yet win, but your suffering from premature electuation. It wasn't over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, and nothing is over until we (the voters, not pollsters) decide it is! Aaaaaagggghhhh! RCP accurately predicted 49 of 50 states in 2004 using aggregated polling data. Are you suggesting that Republicans in 2008 are significantly less cooperative with pollsters in 2008 than they were in 2004? Really, if you want to make a "don't trust the polls" case, then you would be better off saying that the polls are still close by historical standards and we don't know what will happen in the world in the next month.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) why did Pena come out?????? Announcers don't know yet.

He hasn't swung with two hands yet. That's what I heard on the radio yesterday.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 07:16 PM) How's that for clutch? Dips***s. QFT

He was recently cleared of all charges. He may not fit in.

Finally got through to Ticketmaster via phone. They said not yet available and to keep trying back.

Why take Thornton out?

So do two straight singles make you rethink the whole run manufacturing deal?

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 06:30 PM) can we please manufacture a run? Hope you're happy.

Javy's been pretty good in August and September this year. Of those 10 games, how many have been big? All of them? And all of them on a winning team, yes?

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Sep 16, 2008 -> 07:02 PM) It's crazy that the outfielder/1b glut is not being solved by a Quentin injury, but actually being made more difficult with Wise/BA/Owens recent success. Until this game for Jerry, i'm thinking this marks the end for him. Owens never had recent success. He was batting .300 with a few at bats and a couple cheap hits.

At least he retired, though. That's good news.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 10:08 PM) f*** YOU OZZIE HIT BA HERE NOT PIECE OF s*** WISE SCREW YOU AND YOUR GOD DAMN MATCHUPS. Lol. I was going to post something like that.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 09:58 PM) I don't know why, but I'm not any where near as mad as I usually am about these kind of happenings. At this point, with all the injuries, and where this team was at this point last season, it's not that I'm not "committed" as a Sox fan, but I'm just kind of rolling with the games, not getting as worked up as I usually would. I suspect they'll still win the game.

Time for Jerry Owens and his .444 OPS to get us some runs.

There was a recent thread on wsi about this. http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/vbullet...ad.php?t=102426 Lotsa pics. Sorry for being lame, but I'm on my blackberry.
