QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 28, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) AJ and Juan are usually right around the league leaders in lowest K%. This should be a shock to no one. It's a shock to me considering how bad AJ is hitting. I realize he doesn't K too much, but with how bad he has looked, I can't believe he is only at 9.

I hope Thornton does not have memories of what happened a couple years ago. I think Pena was the culprit.....

Is anyone as shocked as I am that AJ is "leading the league" in least amount of strikeouts this year? He has only 9 K's in 143 AB......Pierre is 3rd with only 13 K's in 191 AB.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 28, 2010 -> 08:30 PM) not me - that's a bunt situation if there ever was one Yep. That was the obvious bunting situation in the world.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 28, 2010 -> 08:29 PM) I really like how the bunt was off though. I want to see more of that. I don't. Vizquel is hardly the offensive threat. He should at least make his automatic out productive.

Why isn't Vizquel bunting him over??

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 28, 2010 -> 08:26 PM) Talk about rocking the boat. Ozzie gives Jenks the vote of confidence on Wednesday and the interim manager goes to Putz in the very next save opportunity. Cora actually enjoys winning.

Looks like the ump was telling Carlos "RUN! RUN!"

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2010 -> 08:10 PM) .248 for Konerko...it's crazy to think how much him and Jones have struggled since their great start They both have extremely identical numbers in May... Paulie - .215 AVG, .303 OBP, .670 OPS, 3 HR, 11 RBI, 10 BB, 18 K Jones - .217 AVG, .304 OBP, .739 OPS, 3 HR, 11 RBI, 10 BB, 14 K

Freddy still at 89 pitches. He could start the next inning too, and have Santos ready in case anyone reaches.

Only the 5th time this year Carlos has been hit. He really needs to catch up to Jose Guillen who is running away w/ 8 right now. A beaten and battered Carlos = Carlos "MONGO" Quentin. For those fools who don't get the Mongo reference from Blazing Saddles.....

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 28, 2010 -> 03:08 PM) I think he was a converted position player and they did not expect that much out of him. He made his name in their minor league bullpen and they might think his arm has a limited number of innings in it....... Also I do not study the cubs numbers but it seemed like a week ago the entire team except for Lee and Ramirez were well over .300 like a bunch of guys in the .330 range and now while there are still a couple in the .300 range there are bunch that are now back down to earth. Well, he did convert from catcher to pitcher when he was 20 years old, but that was back in 2003, but he only had 20 games as a catcher.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 28, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) Wasn't Wells slated for the pen anyway? He was as good as anyone in that rotation and young. He could not have been too excited about the move. It's weird how badly they view Wells, but he was their best starter last year, and was doing well this year, yet it seems he is always the odd man out.

Nahh. I can't stand his whirlybird swings and misses.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 24, 2010 -> 08:41 AM) The only thing worse is the dumbasses trying to get the wave going at the Sox game yesterday. Really? The 70's called, they want their schtick back. Sox game I was at last year, we had an epic wave going. It went 3-4 times around the stadium, with lower bowl and upper decks involved and synchronized. It was great.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 27, 2010 -> 06:19 PM) Is Ted Lilly not even standing on the mound? It's funny because I actually noticed this right before Blake went off. Due to the Buehrle fiasco, I was watching Lilly's feet to see if he was bringing his leg over and balking, when I noticed his foot was a good 3-4 inches off the rubber. I was saying "Wait a second, he can't do that, that's cheating". And then a minute later Blake started to yell about it.

QUOTE (zenryan @ May 28, 2010 -> 04:09 AM) Actually that quote is pretty funny and almost redeems himself from this situation. How does that redeem him? Making decisions about things based on how long the game will take? That's horses***. Eject a guy because he deserves it, not because he works slow on the mound.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 27, 2010 -> 10:09 PM) I am pretty sure we have the worst farm system in baseball now. When out of your so-called top six prospects: Hudson, Mitchell, Flowers, Danks, Morel and Viciedo (since there is a clear drop after those six coming into the year) one is having a great year, two solid years, two bad years and one out of the year, you system is going to decrease in the rankings. Add in the s*** we have minus those guys and it's bad. I am not even excited about Hudson or Viciedo because I just view them as White Sox prospects who will come up the majors and suck. Then, either toil in the minors or get traded. It's all about Hudson, Flowers, Viciedo, and Morel it seems.

Joe West just keeps digging himself a hole..... http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=5225554 You can hear his 11 minute interview on 670 The Score, and at around the 2:30 mark he starts talking about how he did not want to eject Buehrle because he is a fast working pitcher....... "As soon as I kicked him out of the game I was thinkin, "Aww, this is great, now how long is this game going to take?", so you know, we aren't looking to kick him out of the game" Seriously Joe? You ACTUALLY think to yourself that you shouldn't eject a guy because he makes the game go by quicker? Wow. He is just scum. I wonder how many plays he calls the guy out just so the game does not take too long....

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 27, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5227063 That's a shame.

Pena has 28 RBI while hitting .188. He must have an insane avg w/ RISP.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 27, 2010 -> 06:38 PM) It's funny the way people talked about Kotsay all offseason, a heady, grindy incredibly intelligent veteran ballplayer. Still waiting for that guy to show up. I liked Kotsay when he was strictly a bench player. I can't stand him as a starter.

.......wtf are you doing you f***ing idiot? God damnit.
