QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 9, 2012 -> 09:51 PM) any chance he'll pull Jake and give the pen some work with a day off tomorrow? makes too much sense? I'd like to see Jake go 7 and done. Give Nate Jones the 8th, and maybe Stewart the 9th or something.

So how is Adam Dunn supposed to win CPOTY, if Jake Peavy takes it away from him?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 9, 2012 -> 07:00 PM) Then get an iPhone. People unwilling to root and Android may as well get an iPhone. Maybe he still has some integrity.

I would f***ing love an Android phone, but I'm not allowed to get one.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 9, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) No. Undergrad. I don't think he went to med school. It was just a joke on the "Doc" part of his name.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 9, 2012 -> 06:25 PM) He's an actor. I mean, yeah, I kind of figured that. Heh. But I mean, was he on the show before, or anything else I would know? I had no idea he was an actor. That's really cool.

Wilkins 1/3, BB. OPS .766 now.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:08 PM) Maybe in a pinch but he came into the system as a 3B and has now been exclusively at 1B for over a year. He played 1B at Arkansas I believe, right?

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 9, 2012 -> 02:50 PM) I just got a callback for Boardwalk Empire. soooo f***ing cool! ????

QUOTE (Special K @ May 9, 2012 -> 01:13 PM) Morel should have retired before he ever set foot on a major league field. He may very well be the worst player in baseball. At this point, I'd take Teahen (salary aside) over Morel any day of the week. It's pathetic the sox can't produce a prospect that can hit over .250. And yes, i'm aware that De Aza is hitting .275, but morel, beckham, and viciedo more than confirm that statement. Statistically, he is the 8th worse. Guys like Chone Figgins, Justin Smoak, Albert Pujols, and Brendad Boesch among others are worse.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ May 9, 2012 -> 01:08 PM) Morels fielding percentage at 3b last year was .953...Youks at 3b was .967...just sayin The problem with this comment is the use of F% to prove a point. Last year Morel had a 0.9 UZR. Youk had a -2.3.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 9, 2012 -> 07:06 AM) My parents went to college with Doc Emrick. Med school I assume?

QUOTE (G&T @ May 9, 2012 -> 08:02 AM) That's a little more than what we paid for our cockapoo. They are expensive but great dogs. Best breed of small dog I've come across. It better be first generation though. Otherwise he might be getting ripped off (at least in my opinion). This is their 3rd cock-a-poo. Their first one died very young of diabetes, I want to say less than a year old. Their second one is still around. This family buys dogs like no other. His parents own 3, his sister owns 3, and now he owns 1. They are all cockapoos or Pomeranians.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 8, 2012 -> 11:29 PM) 5 HRs in the last 6 ABs for Hamilton. He hit one in his final at-bat last game. All 2-run shots with Andrus on base.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2012 -> 03:39 AM) That's all fine and good, but isn't the risk even greater you fall out of the playoff hunt in the middle months of the season because you don't have a strong enough 5th starter...or that you're tempted to put him back in the rotation too quickly again as a result of the team falling further and further behind? Isn't 170 IP a bit too ambitious? Seems like 150 would be the more likely goal...but NOBODY knows what is going on or what goals the White Sox had in mind before the season started, let alone what their plan is for next week. If Stults and Humber get lit up Saturday and Sunday, there's going to be even more pressure mounting to bring him right back or risk the season being consigned to irrelevance. I just made up 170, I have no idea what their target is for him. But I also am not dismissing the fact that his elbow is tender or whatever. That could have been a contributing factor to write up this plan. But yeah, some transparency would be nice to hear.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 9, 2012 -> 03:19 AM) And that would be? To limit Sale's innings during the middle of the season, so he can be strong at the end, rather than let him pile up the innings now, and be shut down come September. Say they are limiting him to 170 innings this year, or what have you, maybe they slow down his pace over the summer, and then stretch him back out again maybe in July or something so by the time he reaches September, he might only be at like 130 innings, instead of 170, and can finish out the year strong, instead of being fatigued during a playoff push, and possibly playoff games. That was my theory when the news originally came out, so maybe that is their plan, maybe not.

Maybe they really are doing what my theory was when it was announced last week.

Wilkins is back. 3/4, 1 HR, 2B, 2 RBI. OPS back over .700

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 8, 2012 -> 10:14 PM) Sigh. If he has given up on this team like he says, then he needs to go away because his negativity and absolutism is so damn annoying.

WHY IS ADDISON REED EVEN IN THE MAJOR LEAGUES!?!?!?!!? And shut up Hawk, the damage has already been done. We needed that strikeout a batter ago, bud.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 8, 2012 -> 09:23 PM) thank you Alexei. Not bad enough that you're total s*** at the plate, you have to choke up the game at short You serious?

Cool. Sale with a blown save. Love the decision Coop and the gang. f***ING LOVE THE DECISION!!! assholes.

Wow, Sale almost died.

I'm hoping for a rocket at an infielder here. Can luck strike twice?

Bases loaded for Santana......uh oh.
