Ok, Chris Sale warming, I'll keep watching.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 02:42 PM) Look at the lineup we had today? Outside of Konerko and Rios, there is no f***ing power. It's absolutely insane to play home games at the Cell with this bulls*** lineup. Carlos Quentin would like a stern word with you.

Go home Freddy, you still suck.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 02:27 PM) Am I the only one disappointed by Lillibridge not having Lord of the Rings? That or some Keebler cookies.

JJ Putz sure does have a valuable gift basket, damn son..... White Sox hat U of Michigan polo Burberry polo iPod shuffle $25 itunes card $100 White Sox card 4 tickets to any movie $25 Starbucks card $100 Ditka's card $100 Nordstrom's card 4 tickets to White Sox game Autographed baseball Autographed photos Wow. Opening bid was only $250, and that doesn't include the small items like DVDs, CDs, candy, and boardgames.

Sure, he hasn't made a defensive error since 2008, but he makes a baserunning error every other game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 02:24 PM) WHY DOES LILLIBRIDGE'S BASKET HAVE MEAN GIRLS IN IT?!!? Haha, he is such a card.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) You're saying he's the next Gordon Beckham? Becks was 0-21 right? I know I was there for his first hit (vs. A's I think), but I don't remember his "streak".

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) Lol. It is actually. I took a look at the basket. Lillibridge and Putz have the coolest sh*t in their baskets. Haha, I figured. Link?

I bet Floyd's favorite music is all christian rock and jesus music.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) Didn't he and the organization have a fight earlier this year? I'd rather Frank. Also, start warming up the pen. I thought that was last summer when he was saying we were pushing Gordon Beckham too fast or putting too much presure on him or something.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) yes, hawks is out, family illness. Ugh. Too bad Black Jack wasn't on hand, I enjoy when he does a game.

Without Miguel Cabrera dropping that pop-up, we don't score the runner from 3rd with 0 outs. Sheeezus.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 01:54 PM) How's it possible for a young, athletic player to look like such a stiff at 2nd base? What is this your first time seeing Beckham? Beckham is a fine 2B who tries to get fancy sometimes and messes up. Nothing "stiff" about his defense.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 04:34 AM) He's injured. How bad? What did he do?

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 05:13 PM) Isn't he a little old for that league? EDIT: Based on that video, someone was a fan of Ken Griffey Jr. So I found a quote while I was looking up why Wilkins hasn't played in 3 games, and I found this quote from him.... "Ken Griffey Jr. was my man ... I've always tried to imitate his swing."

No Wilkins for 3 games now. I wonder what is up with him.....?

I know some Sabermetrics (Only a few though), and I wouldn't consider myself a geek at all. But even if I was, would I admit it? Eh, probably.

I've yet to be able to sit and watch an EJax start, but at least I work with a bunch of large TVs, and the Cubs game will be over by the time the Sox game starts, so I'll be able to glance at the TV every couple minutes.

Wilkins hasn't played in 2 straight games now....hmm....

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 05:13 PM) Isn't he a little old for that league? EDIT: Based on that video, someone was a fan of Ken Griffey Jr. Yes, that's what it is! I have seen that video a few times, and I couldn't pin-point who that reminded me of.

Yeah, definitely the part in The Human Centipede when f***ed up scene.....

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 03:59 PM) Thanks for the replies, I agree that his bat is nowhere near being Major League ready but from all reports his glove certainly is. I just thought it might inspire/drive him if he saw the amount of preparation that guys like Vizquel put into the game and hopefully have some of that rub off on him. It's amazing to see what Vizquel has done with Alexei over this season. I guess I'm higher on Escobar than most, but a 21 year old switch hitter that is holding his own in the Southern League is still pretty impressive. Yeah, but Vizquel has helped Alexei in his fielding, not his hitting. And if you can hit, you will always have a job in the majors, but not necessarily if you are just a good fielder (Brian Anderson).

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) With all due respect, who cares? Next time Linebrink comes in against a Twin, order him to plunk somebody. His suspension won't matter. Oz will get suspended too and many will be happy about that. This is all on Linebrink. He has to be our designated fall guy for hitting people. Or Bobby so the Bobby haters will be happy to see him suspended as well. A starter CANNOT plunk a Twin on purpose or He Gawn from the game baby. Only if warnings are issued. And great, so let Linebrink or Bobby nail someone. My point is just that for the amount of times we get hit, we really don't retaliate for it. It seemed like Ozzie used to call for guys getting hit in the past, but no longer. Just an observation.
