QUOTE (forrestg @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 09:51 AM) Teahans current minor league numbers don't look like anything like what he did this year while up with the whitesox. Currently it looks like he's going to be a singles hitter with little power. Good ratio of strikeouts to walks , no home runs one double. Perhaps he's being groomed as our future #2 hitter in the lineup. I believe th power numbers could improve later. Teahan's if his on base % and walks over strikeouts continue with the big club his return could be a difference maker for the sox. He was exactly that before he got hurt.

I'd rather just ride it out with Teahen. Not a fan of Wigginton.

Very good win tonight. We took advantage of the Twins' mistakes. Danks absolutely shut down Mauer. We gotta pound him in way more, just like we did today. Good win, now take the series tomorrow. Won't be easy against Liriano.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) Lineup changes for #WhiteSox: Jones scratched with soreness in back; Vizquel to 3B, H8th; Viciedo to DH; Q to RF. New lineup: Pierre LF Ramirez SS Rios CF Konerko 1B Quentin RF Pierzynski C Viciedo DH Vizquel 3B Beckham 2B Absolutely love this lineup . I like Omar 2nd better. But I can't complain.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) Seems to me a "decent lineup" to us is having no Kotsay in it with Viciedo in it. Is that all it takes to have a "good lineup" to Sox fans on here these days? Is that all it would take for no b****ing? No Viqquel; no Kotsay and addition of Viciedo every day? Reasons for why this is a decent lineup: 1. No Kotsay 2. Quentin not in the field Pretty much it. It's not that hard to make this lineup better.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 03:19 PM) Span CF, Hudson 2B, Mauer C, Young LF, Cuddyer 1B, Kubel DH, Valencia 3B, Repko RF, Hardy SS Oh no, not f***ing Jason Repko.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) With the Bulls's needs and the season that Ariza had last year, I think I'm happy with Brewer and Korver. They could have signed Korver and gotten Ariza, no? I thought they had around $14 million to spend after Boozer signed.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) Wow. Hmm, Ariza would have looked nice on the Bulls. I'd rather have him over Brewer/Korver and he makes a similar amount of money.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 02:36 PM) Really, he can't be less effective than Kotsay. The problem with JD is that he had no interest in being a low paid part time player. Well, you probably have to send him down for a minor league stint for two weeks. Then when he gets called up, who knows how good he'll be? Maybe an .800 OPS?

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 02:32 PM) He's more than available, but as far as I know he doesn't want to just DH. You'd think by now he would have changed his mind? Dye hasn't played baseball in almost a year. I doubt he'll have an impact if we sign him now.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) Best lineup I've seen in a long time. I would like to see Beckham higher, but that's just me.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 02:24 PM) Pierre LF Ramirez SS Rios CF Konerko 1B Quentin DH Pierzynski C Viciedo 3B Jones RF Beckham 2B Danks At least Ozzie put out a decent lineup.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) Are you saying that Freddy's going to kill this 2010 season? *Gasp

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) Wasn't that Floyd? I forget. That was Danks. Floyd was game 162,

If the Mets take down his contract to about $12 million for next year, I wouldn't be against such a move. So basically, trade Linebrink for Beltran...lol.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 11:51 AM) The last couple episodes were great. Really made Kenny come off as a funny, light-hearted guy. I was watching with a Cubs fan, and a dbacks fan, and we were all laughing our ass off at Kenny saying "How does this guy know this s***?" and "Alright, everyone put your phones in the middle" during the Trade Deadline episode. And Ozzie riding around his bike was hilarious. I found that hilarious.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 10:59 AM) here's the silliest thing about running Rios (or anyone) with two outs and Konerko up: In the case of a homer, triple ,double or walk, it doesn't matter whether Rios is on second base or 1st base. The only time it matters is if Paul singles. Konerko has a combined 2518 hits+walks. He has 1402 total homers, triples and doubles, and walks combined. He has 1116 singles. In other words, there's around a 60% chance if Paul reaches that it doesn't matter whether Alex is on first base or second base, and that's before you even factor in CS percentage. Secondly, why the f*** are you playing for 1 run, down 5? Dumb, dumb, dumb. If Konerko kept that first inning going longer, who knows what happens last night. And it was pretty obvious that they weren't going to go after Konerko with Kotsay on deck.

QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 05:07 PM) Perkins ERA is high in AAA, but it was over 10 for a good chunk of the early season. He has pitched better over the past month or so. You'd think so. It's hard to have an ERA over 10.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:22 AM) If a lot of Reds get suspended, this would rank up there as one of the most interesting failures by a Dusty Baker coached team. I would love to see that happen. That whole kicking match had to do with Dusty barking at Carpenter or La Rusa. What a great job by a manager to try and calm his team down.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 10:34 AM) Big guy stepping up. I like it. We need Danks to step up big, just like Jason did there.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 10:36 AM) Of course this was not responded to. Coincidences are a damn pain in the ass. Yeah they are. That lineup optimizer has its flaws obviously, but I found it pretty weird that it was so dead on.

Glen Perkins sucks. Don't stop, get it get it!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 09:58 AM) So...our sacrifice bunt %age is 79%. I'm going to remember that the next time I'm told that Juan Pierre has only a 75% shot at successfully stealing that base and the bunt is a sure thing. Somebody needs to tell this to Rongey...

Freddy was never all that good to begin with. When Freddy's good, he's tolerable and decent. When Freddy's bad, he real bad.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 10, 2010 -> 10:06 PM) 99 percent of the people on here didnt want Thome back while watching him last season. Hindsight is a fun game. I must have been the 1%.
