Kinda sucks Beckham is only playing once every three games or so. Maybe he'll get an AB tonight. I hope they start him at AA next year.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Oct 14, 2008 -> 02:36 PM) this is not just directly directed at you yasny but to everyone....really Beckham in 09???? I think Beckham will be on the fast track, but they have to decide what position he's going to play. I could see him being up at some point during the 09 season, but not to start the season. That doesn't seem realistic since they'll build a team that can win in 2009. They certainly won't count on Beckham to start the season in Chicago. My feeling is Beckham will play 2B next year at Birmingham. If Alexei is a great SS, he'll stay there. If not, Beckham will move back to SS. I'm not buying the 3rd base idea. I think Beckham is in the opening day lineup in 2010, and hopefully for the next 15 years.

Konerko handed Reinsdorf the ball. He'll get his number retired. 35, 14, 56, 13 are the next four.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 13, 2008 -> 01:11 PM) I didn't realize that the kid was #23. My favorite He was 6 at Georgia. He was 8 at Kannapolis. Don't go out and by that 23 jersey quite yet. JD might not want that either.

Beckham is leading off and playing 2B tonight. Made an error, got picked off by the catcher. 1-4, double, HBP

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 11:04 PM) I almost don't want to watch. I am really afraid. Makes two of us. I plan on watching a couple movies during the game. I'll check the score around 10:30, and hope for the best. If they lose tonight, same thing tomorrow.

^ agreed

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Sep 12, 2008 -> 09:46 PM) Yep, it's 2 on Saturday. Ranger posted on WSI, that there was talk of Sunday but then the teams met with MLB and came up with this. It's a regular doubleheader, starting at 2:55. Tickets for tonight's game can be used for a voucher for a 2009 game.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 09:22 AM) That would be great, no liriano or slowey...we would actually have a chance to win the series! They could definitely move Slowey up to Thursday, but as of now that's how their 5-man rotation works out. Liriano will pitch the final weekend, so the Sox will definitely miss him unless they go to a 4-man rotation, which seems unlikely.

Tribune is saying 4-man rotation after Sunday. That means the matchups in Minnesota: Vazquez-Baker Buehrle-Perkins Floyd-Blackburn

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 11:46 AM) Don't expect to see Getz anytime soon. He also has a fracture in his wrist. I put this in here because the Bourgeois call up makes a lot more sense now. Happened August 31. This guy's fault: http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=451584

Angels, then Red Sox-but it's close.

Here it is: Cabrera Anderson Dye Konerko Ramirez Swisher Uribe Fields Hall

Anderson, Hall, and Fields are playing today. Pretty sure Fields is the DH with Uribe at 3rd.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 11:15 AM) AJ needs a rest badly. other than that Ozzie should play all of his regulars, unless Griffey needs a rest, then it should be BA in CF for his defense. I heard the lineup earlier. Hall is playing, but I can't remember if there were any other subs in today. Today is a huge game. If they can win today and tomorrow, the Sox will have a 3 or 4 game lead going into Tuesday.

I'm surprised they stuck with Valido that long. That's fine, we have a couple shortstops in Beckham and Kuhn to keep an eye on.

I think Minnesota will win the division by one or two games.

Ah yeah, Paul Phillips. Forgot about him. Considering Armstrong is on the 40-man, and having a good season, I kinda hope he gets the call. The Boone Logan callup already is curious. He sucked at Charlotte too, so hopefully he's just going to be used in blowouts.

QUOTE (forrestg @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 09:43 PM) childers or phillips? Who is Phillips? They had Heath Phillips last year, but he's long gone. Childers would have to be added to the 40-man. Doubt that will happen.

I'd activate Linebrink and Wise, and brink up Wassermann, Getz, Fields, Owens, and Armstrong. I wouldn't bring up Logan or MacDougal.

Rain may be an issue tonight. Both teams are off on Thursday, so they have that going for them.

The deadline is August 15. Most of the top picks last year signed around midnight on August 15, so there you go.

If they don't skip anyone, and they don't have any rainouts, the 2-3-4 guys are going to have the bulk of the Tigers and Twins games. Asking a lot of Floyd and Danks, but I can't blame them.

Twins tied up the Tigers in the 9th, still batting. I'm sorry, but I'm taking this as a good thing.
