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....

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.

Paulie is like Soriano with those low and away breaking balls.

This is ahead of schedule? Good news and all, but I thought him in the AFL was the original target. Meh, I just hope he is 100% and his speed is not hurt too much by this.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ May 27, 2010 -> 02:55 PM) John Ely is the man. 7 shutout innings now. 2 hits allowed by Ely. ERA down to 2.79. Ho hum.

Ely is dominating the Cubs right now. 5 IP, 0 R, 1 H. His ERA is down to 2.95, and his WHIP is around 0.94. He has still yet to allow a HR this season....

At least SI got it right... "This time, Buehrle flipped his glove off and was immediately ejected by West, who stood with his arms folded near the first-base line."

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 26, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) Check out this major spin job by Yahoo sports: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-whitesox-ejections First, he dropped his glove. Second off, it'd be nice if they reported the facts and pointed out that the pickoff attempts were clearly not balks. MLB.com has this... "West called the second balk with one out in the third inning, tossing Buehrle after the left-hander threw his glove to the ground in frustration." I would say it was a flip at best.

Part of me wants Bobby to blow this thing so we can just release him or officially kick him off closer duties. I feel like if he gets this done Ozzie can just say "Well, see, he got the job done, and thats all that matters".

QUOTE (gordonventura38 @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:27 PM) Gordo looks helpless against a curve ball right now Yeah, or the slider, which is all he saw that last AB.

Geeeeez Gordon. Have some plate awareness.....

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:06 PM) Just woke up. I saw Buehrle got ejected. What did he do? I can't imagine Buehrle going crazy arguing w/ an ump. Did he hit a batter? Nevermind, Hawk filled me in.

Justin O'Connor!

With the Indians bad offense, and Peavy having a good month of May (save his last start), I think this could be really good for us.

Episode of Breaking Bad tonight was just god awful. Worst episode they have put out by far. Only Walt and Jesse in the whole episode, no other characters, and the whole thing was about a fly in the meth lab........ Seemed like all the actors took a vacation at the same time, and Bryan Cranston and whoever plays Jesse were the only two wanted to work, so they wrote a bulls*** filler episode. Very disappointing.

Thank god Dan Hudson dominate today, we really need him to pan out because Freddy Garcia won't last all year.... Huddy - 8 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 11 K Despite a pretty high ERA, Hudson has been dominant in AAA this year w/ his peripherals. In 48 IP, he has 59 K and 14 BB. That's an 11.06 K/9, and a 2.6 BB/9. Those are both pretty great numbers. BB could be a touch lower, but that 4.2 K:BB ratio is outstanding. I am so glad this 23 year old kid came out of NO WHERE last year to pitch in Low A, High A, AA, and AAA and win the award for 2009 Pitcher of the Year in all of the minor leagues.

Morel is up to .321. Is it wrong that I love watching Teahen fail? In Brent We Trust!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ May 23, 2010 -> 10:32 PM) Jenks, Putz, Linebrink and money to cover most of Linebrink's salary for Domonic Brown. Maybe throw Mayberry in too. I wouldn't really want to clear out all 3 of them at once, or for just 1 guy. That's a lot to replace.

Can I really be the only person with a Golden Retriever? People here are awfully original! Haha.... Casey the purebred Golden Retriever.... As you can see, she likes to jump up and put her paws on the railing of the deck and look out. She is actually incredible smart, but probably the most wussy dog ever. We try and wrestle w/ her to get her to play bite, but she refuses to. You can pull her tail and punch her in the face, and she will just wag her tail, it's almost discouraging.
