chw42

Tony Pena outta be in there soon.

Diaz missed 5 pitches in that inning. 5 pretty blatant strikes called balls.

That gun Fox has is really slow. They had Freddy at 84-86 in that first. Freddy got as high as 88 with pitch f/x

Come on Omar, that's twice now.

Freddy has nothing today.

QUOTE (ICP! @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 01:40 PM) I find it amazing how hard you guys are on Whitesox outfielders defense on this board throughout the years . If guys arent playing to the caliber of a Rios or Brian f'ing Anderson they are shredding a new one by everybody on here. LOL It's because JD and Quentin are terrible. Although I do remember somebody saying Dewayne Wise sucked at defense, that was uncalled for.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) I'd be disappointed going .500 against the likes of Seattle and Oakland. We're a division leader for crying out loud. We need to beat up on these teams. I would have expected a split at the Twins. We probably should have split with Minni and swept Seattle, but hey, remember when the thought of playing in Oakland and Minnesota scared us? If you come away with a .500 record, it's not the end of the world. You'd like 6-4, but 5-5 is acceptable. Especially since everybody else in the division plays like s*** on the road.

I'll take a .500 road trip, especially since the A's and Twins aren't pushovers.

Carlos looks like he's limping when he's not running.

Betemit's actually playing pretty well, but I'm not expecting this to last.

Wakamatsu is a bad on-field bad manager, but I always thought he was a nice guy.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 02:01 AM) Besides Greinke's Cy Young year, he's been average at best, including this season. I'd pass on him "Pretty good" would be the best term to describe his performances in 08 and 10. He's far better than average. Wanna know who's average? Freddy Garcia.

Mark Buehrle just pitches so well on July 23rd... That was vintage Mark yesterday. Good control, good location, pitched to contact to keep his pitch count in check.

It seems that everybody on the A's has a deceptive ERA.

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 01:17 AM) Jenks "Irritated" that People are Upset Over His Closing! http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...sp&c_id=cws The problem is that Jenks doesn't think he has a problem! "I've been the closer for this team, this is my sixth year closing," Jenks said before Friday night's game against the Oakland A's. "I shouldn't have to go out there and prove myself over and over again. I think I've done that, and it looks like I'm going to have to do it again." Jenks said he's taking Guillen's decision as a challenge, albeit irritating. "It's both," Jenks said. "I don't want to really overstep my boundaries as far as manager-player goes. Even Mariano [Rivera] had a couple bad games in a row. In my case, I just go out there and when I get the ball, I go out there and do my job. That's all I can do." Sounds like the words of an alcoholic. He's in denial.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 08:44 PM) Most sane people like us would DH him but we know Ozzie will primarily use him as an outfielder. Given that fact I don't know if we'll ever see his true potential as a hitter, making him expendable in my eyes. Insane people would say that Q would go insane if he DH'd, making him more prone to injury. They should know.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) I've never heard of the other two guys. But unless they plan on making Joba a starter, that seems like a terrible deal for Arizona. With that bullpen of theirs, who knows? In the longterm, they should make him a starter to get he most value out of him.

Although I do think that Rowand's talent has been underestimated by some of the posters here. In his prime, Rowand was every bit as good as Torii Hunter was when he was in his prime. Rowand was easily one of the top center fielders in the game when he played here.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) Well. I didn't think the O's would take any from Minny. That's a nice bonus. Maybe they can even earn a split now.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 07:44 PM) At this point I would trade Q for Dunn straight up if we could sign Dunn for an extension. I'm getting tired of all these damn injuries. He gets hit a lot, s*** happens. Add in the fact that he can't play the outfield too well and you have yourself an injury-prone player. If you DH him, there's a much better chance of him staying intact.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 08:15 PM) You could argue who was a better CF in 2005 (I think that's all chw42 is doing). Nobody would question who's the better CF overall. That's obviously Rios. I'm talking about production. Rowand, production-wise, had a better year in 05 than what Rios has done this year. But from a talent and skill standpoint, I'd say Rios edges Rowand.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 07:42 PM) Scott's really hot right now. They already have Wieters, you can push them to take Flowers but it's back to the same thing, giving up Viciedo for Luke Scott. Pretty obviously, it won't be Danks. And if you're the Orioles, you're probably not going to take a package of players like Morel and Short (just throwing out names) over someone much closert to big league readiness. There's no way we trade any of our top 5 for Scott, that's why I think he's a good fit. Cheap(er), versatile, and can hopefully keep Quentin healthy.

Joba would be intriguing for the D-Backs.

Luke Scott puts the Orioles on top 3-2. I want this guy on our team.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 06:24 PM) There's no defending a lot of lineups decisions Ozzie has made this year. It's like he's taken a golden shower on every piece of research about rational lineup construction ever published. Why the hell does he put back to back left handers 6 and 7? WHY? This is the same guy who batted Mark Kotsay 5th to break the lineup up but won't do it in the 6 and 7 spots. Oh by the way, it's pretty safe to say that A.J. and Kotsay are the worst hitters in the lineup right now outside of Pierre.
