New banner looks good, with the exception of Danks. He looks like he's in a weird position.

Dayan's been decent at AAA. .855 OPS down there. The lack of walks is concerning, but he should be at least a league average hitter I would think.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 09:05 PM) Has there been a more useless White Sox player in the last decade than Nix? Lots of players.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) And the loss before that stretch was the Thornton disaster. Which was a very winnable game. Damn, we've been so close to a possible 10 game winning streak.

Whoa, totally unexpected...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 08:53 PM) Remember when Joba Chamberlain was good? All the moving from reliever to starter and then back hasn't helped.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 07:32 PM) Do you say the same thing when a centerfielder gets fluid on his knee? It depends on whether or not the center fielder runs weird or constantly bashes his knee with his bat.

Greg, I think you should down play this team every chance you get. It's working. Now say something about this team not being able to sweep the Nationals.

Juan Pierre came up big in this one.

6.5 back. It's too bad that Detroit keeps on winning.

Great catch by Juan and Jenks appears to be back to his dominant form.

lolwut?

Looks like his mechanics have caught up to him. Crap.

Carlos Quentin is one of the most interesting players in baseball...

Bye bye Randy Williams.

The Braves won a series in Minnesota. They're pretty damn good. I'd say we would be lucky to win that series.

Also, it's a .585 winning clip against the NL since 2000. Hmm, so people weren't lying when they said a .500 AL team could be a .570 team in the NL...

I wouldn't want to be a citizen of North Korea.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 11:17 AM) He's going to be their 2B anyway. They have an asian SS coming up that is outstanding defensively. How good is Hak Ju Lee at hitting though...? And how many good Korean hitters are there in baseball? Oh yeah, none.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:44 AM) Alexi isn't clumsy he is lazy. Lazy, clumsy, whatever.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 04:34 PM) Something tells me the guy will always be bad at defense. He's 20. His range is very good. Range Runs (a component of UZR) has him at 2.7. What makes his UZR mediocre is his Error Runs, which is at -3.5. It looks like he has trouble with routine plays (zone rating of only .756), but he's made 19 plays out of his zone. The kid's got talent on defense, he's just clumsy. Kind of like Alexei.

I'd very much like a decent OBP guy on this team.

Buehrle absolutely owns the NL, he's gotta get us this sweep and make us only 3 games under .500. From there, it is very manageable to get back to .500.

Did they seriously commit more errors than hits? WTF?
