Gotta start playing catchup. Let's beat Bonderman this time.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) Except Liriano is bad at the Cell. I don't think 4 starts is enough to tell.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) That's pretty significant for a team. .803 team OPS vs RHP, .755 team OPS vs LHP. In comparison, the Sox are at .748 vs both RHP and LHP. Hmm, I woulda thought we'd be significantly better against LHP.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 03:12 PM) Without looking, I'll bet the Twins lineup is a lot better against RHP. Not by that much (.45 point difference in OPS).

QUOTE (joeynach @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) Um I think Matt is the writer on Fangraphs, or fangraphs is using his blog article on their website. No, FanGraphs is using his article, which he submitted.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 02:22 PM) I've never understood the Pena love on this board. How is Allen still in the minors at Reno? He has 21 homers and 72 S ribbies. WTF? Shouldn't he be in the bigs? Adam LaRoche is blocking him. Plus, Allen wasn't very good at the ML level this year.

Definitely a hall of famer. He and Frank are two of the sure shots from the steroid era.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 02:09 PM) He had a great year last year. I don't think it makes any sense. Regression makes sense, this much of a regression doesn't.

Congrats on getting this on FanGraphs Matt! http://www.fangraphs.com/community/index.p...-williams-mess/

Let's take first place back!

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.
