Ahhh, this is bulls***! I wonder if Aaron Rowand is going to sing it with Uribe and Lopez at the WS parade in a week or so....

Always Sunny and The League were fantastic tonight. "How do I delete that from my Spank Bank?" lol.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) You mean bench coach? Yes.

If Joey gets job w/ Brewers, apparently Ryne Sandberg is a possibility for 3B. I am not a Cubs hater, but I think it would be hilarious if this happened. Cubs fans would throw a fit that Hendry drove Sandberg to us.

So apparently that knocking at the door at 10am this morning was the R.A. warning us about the tornado in town and maybe being on the 4th floor was not a good idea. We didn't answer the door, oh well, I enjoy my sleep.....

5 years ago today the Chicago White Sox ended a 87-year World Series drought. The White Sox defeated the Astros 1-0, in what was a 4-game sweep, and completed one of the most dominating post-season runs ever as the Sox went 11-1, lead by historic pitching performances. Don't Stop Believing!! Feel free in join me and my friends as making the picture below our Facebook default for today.... http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yKSo5xPjLpM/TBgs...phy-Posters.jpg

Probably the worst episode of the series so far. I don't like my Kenny Powers to have emotions and feelings. I like my Kenny Powers rude, crude, and banging hoes.

They have definitely changed the baseballs since then. Bigger seams give the pitcher more leverage for rotation and bigger spin on pitches. They have made the seams as small as possible now to benefit the hitter. Same as the lowering of the mounds and other such things they have done over history to "nerf" the pitcher.

Quentin has more value to us than any other team.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 11:33 AM) Not a trade question, but when is the date that teams can sign FA? Is it like 15 days after the conclusion of the World Series? Just wondering when I should start checking rumors 10-12 times a day.

Starting listening to some more Macklemore, and I'm really digging it. I've liked a few songs of his for a few years now, but I just recently downloaded a mixtape of his and starting listening. Real enjoyable songs, especially "And We Danced" and "American" (of the new songs I hadn't heard before)

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 21, 2010 -> 10:50 AM) Free agency. Oh, just realized it says 2012, my bad.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 21, 2010 -> 10:51 AM) You failed to note one key point...the Sox have a scheduled 2012 opening in LF for an OF, assuming no one is signed this offseason. Not to mention the obvious need to move Quentin to DH if he's even still there (if he performs below this level at all next year he becomes a non-tender candidate). There's still a 5% chance that D2 could step up and grab that, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were thinking of a Mitchell CF, Rios RF, someone else OF for 2012. Where did Juan Pierre run off to?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) The Cardinals have absolutely no need for a starting pitcher considering they have Carpenter, Wainwright, and Garcia all under contract and need to save any and all the money they can to put together an offer for Pujols following the 2011 season. At this point in time, the Cardinals would gladly take 2 WAR from Colby Rasmus instead of 4 WAR from John Danks if it saves them $7 million which they can put towards a long-term contract extension for Albert Pujols. Why you gotta make things complicated? We need an OF, they would like to get rid of Rasmus. Just agree and we can move on, and then you can buy me a French Dip at Portillos.

Mitchell went 0/4, 2 K. He is striking out a TON. Escobar went 2/5.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 06:13 PM) He wont get the GG, but we all know he deserves it. Him or Hardy, but we all know it will be Jeter or Andrus. And I thought about posting this article, but then I remembered it was Sporting News....so....

Send Danksy to STL for Rasmus. Fill in other players where needed.

Not a trade question, but when is the date that teams can sign FA? Is it like 15 days after the conclusion of the World Series? Just wondering when I should start checking rumors 10-12 times a day.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 01:28 AM) Would it be possible to imagine an infield defense of Morel, Escobar, & Becks for at the next 4-5 years? Obviously the development of Escobar as a hitter has to continue but it could be a great double play combo for a few years. Morel showed some good contact and has room to improve. Only thing in the grey area is 1B (Konerko or Viciedo)? I would think Escobar has to be getting groomed as trade bait, unless he can be a slick fielding 3B too, and out hit Morel. I don't think Alexei gets moved out of his SS spot for a long time, especially since he has to be the best defensive SS in the game right now. And I don't see the Sox moving Beckham back to 3B, so I would think that Escobar has to be the odd man out unless he can prove he can play 3B, and then Morel gets traded.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 07:23 PM) wtf It was a very obvious picture of said coach. They zoomed in right on his face. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 02:03 PM) Yeah, it looked JUST like him, but I was wondering if they were going to allude to his dad being a former pitcher too. Or maybe his dad actually had a picture on that very same wall, and they will come back to that later.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 06:06 PM) u can't possibly be this hard-headed. You don't use the word dominant for a Brent Morel. He had a solid season. That's it. You're getting all confrontational for no reason. Just admit you used the wrong word and move on. I'm using "good" now so you ladies can sleep at night. K, thanks.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 04:07 PM) Morel had a good season, now that you have another adjective besides "dominant" let's move on. Ok...now back my point like 3 pages ago..... And Brent Morel would like to kindly point out how he won the batting title there last year, and went on to have a "good" season in the minors this year.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 03:59 PM) Like I said, if you can't distinguish the difference between a dominant season (Pujols) and a good season (Rios) than it's obvious that you can't evaluate a player or their performance accurately. Is it subjective? Sure, you can have your opinion, but if you stated that Rios was dominant this season you will be laughed at. How about this, you tell me what word you want me to use to describe Morel's "success" last year, and I'll make the same point I've made all along, but with your adjective so you won't be so distracted.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) Because you still won't admit that it was a bad choice of words? Or that you haven't defended your use of it besides stating "semantics." So when you were questioned how you could label both performances as "dominant" you just said "semantics," and that adds a whole lot to the conversation. What does it matter the word that is used? It's a subjective word that can mean completely different things to different people. It's not a black and white word. It's all to the discretion of the person using it. How about this, you tell me what word you want me to use to describe Morel's "success" last year, and I'll make the same point I've made all along, but with your adjective so you won't be so distracted.
