QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 26, 2012 -> 06:00 PM) Heath Bell knocked out in another save opportunity but Choate survives to get the win over the Giants, 5-3. $27 million well spent! I bet the Marlins can't wait for Leo Nunez (or Oviedo) to come back.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 26, 2012 -> 05:56 PM) This team is getting fun to watch. I honestly can't remember a run like the past week or so in my time as a fan. Some winning streaks and things like that, yes, but this is some prodigious offense. I don't think I've seen Rios hit this well...ever. Rios, Konerko, and Viciedo are absolutely on fire right now. We need to come out and sweep tomorrow.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 26, 2012 -> 01:57 PM) De Aza CF Beckham 2B Dunn DH Konerko 1B Rios RF Pierzynski C Viciedo LF Ramirez SS Hudson 3B. Peavy vs RF Choo CF Brantley 2b Jason Kipnis DH Lopez 1B Kotchman LF Damon 3B Hannahan SS Diaz C Marson Jose Lopez hitting 4th...wow.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ May 26, 2012 -> 12:02 AM) Defensive metrics are stupid. If you tell me Ramirez and Rios are bad defenders. I'm probably going to laugh at you while I watch you wipe my snot off of your chest. UZR has rated Ramirez as the best SS in baseball over the past three years. Rios was one of the best right fielders in baseball, according to UZR, when he was with the Blue Jays. Sample size determines the usefulness of UZR.

QUOTE (Cali @ May 25, 2012 -> 10:18 PM) Beat them and 2 of their only few actual good players go down with injuries. Offense kicking it into gear the last week or so, if the pitching can stay steady they'll be in good shape. I know Cabrera got hurt, who else got hurt today?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 25, 2012 -> 09:43 PM) I wonder if he knows the Yankee announcer does that horrible A-bomb for A-Rod call. Somebody better tweet or email the Hawk and tell him. That's when he says it. "An A-Bomb...for A-Rod!".

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 25, 2012 -> 09:39 PM) Bad play by the cf Yeah, I know. I was marveling that he actually made third.

TANK BLAST!

A.J. with a triple? Woah!

That was easy...

Brace yourselves, Hector Santiago is in.

Alejandro Alejandro.

Hell yeah Alexei!

I dropped Alexei in my fantasy league today. I hope he finally starts hitting again.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 25, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) Viciedo walks. A.J. and Viciedo walking back to back? That's more rare than them hitting back to back homers.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 25, 2012 -> 07:14 PM) Dumb q, can you bring up iTunes on an Amazon Kindle Fire? lol I'm pretty sure you can't, if you mean what I think you mean.

Oh man, A.J. walked.

Gutsy outing for Quintana.

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ May 25, 2012 -> 08:28 PM) I know it is a somewhat small sample size but still almost 50 games in please someone explain this to me... Per fangraphs some White Sox players UZRs(UZR/150 were all just as bad): Alex Rios 1.3 De Aza 0.8 25th and 27th ranked OF, while with a UZR of 5.9 Alfonso Soriano is 3rd overall!! Alexei Ramirez -0.8 16th SS Gordon Beckham -3.3 23rd 2B Brent Morel -0.6 14th 3B WTF? It's been only 45 games...

QUOTE (sunofgold @ May 25, 2012 -> 06:05 PM) Very strange. I have the correct lineup not sure where you got yours. Here it is Da DA cf Bacon 2b AdamBomb DH King Kong 1b tar rf AJ c Tank lf Missile SS O-Dawg 3b Noah p (first pitch) DaQ p (second pitch and thereafter) Rios's nickname is tar? Really?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 25, 2012 -> 03:18 PM) Any fans who stopped coming cause of Mark aren't real fans. I actually teared up when Mark left and my Buehrle t-shirt is hanging in my closet. I wore it the day after he signed and not one time since. Few White Sox fans were as crushed as me to see Mark leave, yet I still go to the games. You crybaby. JK

QUOTE (Jake @ May 25, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) That's just not a playoff team. When Jose Lopez is hitting 5th, you know damn well that's not a playoff team.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 25, 2012 -> 12:08 PM) There is zero way I could agree with you any more about this post. I thought it was actually a very good book for something that was required reading in school.

The last thing we need is for Danks to get hurt for an extended period of time AFTER he signed a contract extension with us.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 25, 2012 -> 12:02 PM) Ozzie Guillen thinks their manager is a clown. Really? I didn't know Ozzie would think of such a great team that way. I was mistaken. Cleveland is not the real deal.
