Gordon's on fire.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 06:14 PM) He got a good one to hit last night. Bam. He put a good swing on a mediocre pitch. That ball was chest high.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 06:17 PM) Cause they won't let me be me without a reprimand, so when I get insulted, I will mention it back as well. Guess who didn't even chime in on Bobby's performance last night? I see you're quite paranoid. And do we have to bring back the Bobby Jenks stuff AGAIN?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 05:41 PM) You know you are the exact opposite of that right? Except BigSqwert actually uses some sort of numbers to back up whatever he posts.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 03:01 PM) How do you know he's not doing well because of the way the manager has used him? The manager has had faith in him all season when just about everybody on here wanted him sent down to the minors. Read the old threads. Putting him in the 9th spot, even when he has been hitting better, can't be too good on his confidence. Thing is, you and I don't know if Ozzie hitting him 9th is good or bad for him. Hell, nobody truly knows. But from the looks of his numbers since the ASB, moving him up would be a good idea. He can't be getting any good pitches to hit with Juan Pierre behind him.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 05:56 PM) Why would that be? Also whats the guarantee that Manny is going to be very effective in September? He's 0-7 with 3 ks since coming back. Last Sept. he hit .218 and I would imagine since his right leg has landed him on the DL 3 times this season, there's probably a good chance he's going to be missing some games when he gets here. That's $4 million that could've and should've been spent last offseason. Also there was a rumor going around the Sox claimed Trevor Hoffman on waivers. I don't know if its true, in fact, its probably not, but if true, they would pay Hoffman more for 1 month than DJ Carrasco would have cost for the entire season. Ewww Trevor Hoffman. No way would I want his 5.5 FIP in this bullpen.

Please be true, please be true, please be true.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 03:26 PM) The Score thing about the cardinals sounded like more overheard speculation than a rumor Where would he play in their OF? He'd play right field. Yikes...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 02:55 PM) I actually have given my take on this but thought it would be a good thread. Obviously a good thread is no thread this season on here, except in the non baseball areas where the discussion is civll and actually pretty awesome like on the Blago thread. My take was that as the biggest and best city in the division and the team to have the most recent WS title, teams get up to play us and we pretty much sleepwalk vs. the teams in the Central. I'm not always big on the mental aspect of baseball, but arguably teams really get up for Chicago, evidenced by how many teams in the division throw at our hitters. So many people are commenting on what I do and don't do I'd think they'd remember my position on this matter since they seem to know so much about my posts. I don't think that has much, if anything, to do with it. Because our combined win% against the Central since 2005 is .523. Although we should probably be better, that's not a horrible mark. BTW, the team was above .500 against the division in 06, 07, and 08. They had a win% of .557 vs the Central in those years. It's only been the last two years that they have struggled. If you take a look at it your way, you'd think that the White Sox would be worse against the Central in 06, 07, and 08 since those were the three years after they won the World Series. That's not even close to the case.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 02:58 PM) Most of our fans realize it's just Ozzie being Ozzie. Sox fans that watched him as a player and a manager know he says a lot of things. One of the great things about him is how worked up he gets. On here? I don't need some guy who thinks he's all hot s*** telling me off by telling me to take my ball and go home if I don't like his insults. I recognize it as kyyle being kyyle. So what's the difference?

The only power hitter who is hitting is Konerko. Let's hope we solve everybody on this Orioles staff the second time around. We did yesterday.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 01:25 PM) But he has a well documented history of never doing the research on his own. This. It's fine to ask questions, but you also have to bring some of your own research to the table once in a while.

lawl, now that I look at the caption of the thread again, it makes it sound like Greg is telling "the sabes people" to do his bidding. xD

I'll be fine with Threets. Especially with Sale showing he can really pitch. However, we really need Santos to step up into Putz's role. And with tonight's outing, I don't know if he's helping anybody's confidence that he can.

If we keep chipping away at this lead like we did tonight, Manny would like mighty fine hitting third or cleanup.

Oliver got out of it. Amazing.

Get Gavin out of there, please!

Got him at home! Twins-Rangers still tied.

Twins are very likely to go ahead. f***ing Alexi Casilla.

Floyd was quite fortunate in this start.

Yeah, this game's going like crap.

As I said before, Guthrie's got it good against us. Bases loaded, nobody out and we get one run.

Omar, WTF?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 08:37 PM) You're right, because it would be great to get this beat up bullpen even more innings to cover. Baltimore fans could argue Floyd threw at Jones after the HR. With the way Gavin has pitched tonight, getting tossed might not be such a bad idea.

Wow, Juan killed that one, but right at Markakis.
