Konerko's OPS now over .700. First time since he had that 4-4 (July 12 v. Texas) game, I think.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 12:15 PM) It feels like we're simply just giving this game away in order to keep Carrasco in the bullpen. Yeah, because he's "more valuable" in the bullpen.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 12:11 PM) call up jitters + a defensive miscue. Let's hope he settles down. There is a lot of pressure on his shoulders. Who's to say that it's call up jitters and not just that he isn't very good?

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 10:21 PM) please don't be getz, i like him thus far. Wouldn't be Getz -- he's our only backup infielder now.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 06:40 PM) he's been hit in five straight games. don't know if that is a record. No need to find out. I know you said no need, but the Score reported that it was a major league record.

I thought that Dye would tank/age like he did the first half of 2007.

Two posters on WSI are saying that he signed this morning. I wonder if they'll wait till the 15th to announce it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 11:55 AM) If you use the "Close and late" split on ESPN, he's in a 4 way MLB-wide tie for 3rd, notably with Carlos Pena, in RBI in those cases He's at 19. Hamilton is at 15, but Quentin actually has 6 more AB's in those spots than JH. An interesting stat that Stark mentioned: Hamilton has had 51 more runners on base than Quentin (261-210). So Hamilton has had 24% more chances for knocking runners in, essentially. No surprise, as he has better hitters hitting ahead of him than CQ does. That helps to explain why Hamilton also has 23% more RBIs.

Aggressive baserunning by Teahen.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 04:53 PM) Picked off at 1st, close to a balk though. He balked and he knew it.

Broadway to the pen, Carrasco to the rotation per WSCR.

QUOTE (quickman @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:33 AM) what other suggestions do you have? Poreda or Egbert, maybe.

Getz and Broadway set to come up, per WSCR. Broadway =

Seconding the request for the lineup.

Will BA stay in the game?

Calm down, peeps, Clayton's about to get the dp. Or not.

Free Brian Anderson?

O NO O C.

I think that wall got the worst of it. Looked pretty thin. Herm with the smelling salts and Swish gives him a hug.

I predict that Paulie will swing at a pitch this AB.

Nice hook. Edit: again!

Fart nuggets.

Nice job cutting that ball off by Swish.

He's like a professional wrestler--the way he gets so angry and amped up. Hilarious.

Wtf was that by Fields? Love it.
