Pods almost got caught, lmao.

Nice play by Gordon.

Not only has Gordon been bad, but he's also been extremely unlucky. Evidenced by that ball that was just foul.

Yankees telling people how to do business now? Jesus. The Rangers overpaid, the Mariners liked their offer better. What can you do?

More runs!

2-0. So close to 400...

Michael Beasley's dad says the Heat traded Beasley cause he looks like Delonte West. Delonte West's ego responds by saying "HAHA, HELL NAW MICHAEL BEASLEY AINT AS GOOD LOOKIN AS ME. ASK LEBRONS MAMA." http://bit.ly/aDdVxl

Nice inning.

Why replace one redneck with another?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 12:39 PM) Wow. GB/FB of 0.59 would be the second lowest in the game if he were qualified and his HR/9 is under 1? HR/FB of 7.6%? Here come the home runs. That ballpark in KC helps. http://www.fangraphs.com/statsplits.aspx?p...amp;season=2010 Look at his home xFIP, it's way higher than his home FIP and ERA. Meanwhile, the road FIP and xFIP match up. Gotta hope for some wind tonight The weird thing is that Chen is actually a better pitcher on the road.

He's got a .240 BABIP with career norm batted ball rates. This isn't going to last. He also allows a s*** ton of fly balls.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 12:28 PM) But why? Why does he hate the White Sox so much? Law used to be a front office guy, maybe he just despises KW.

Anybody who says Keith Law doesn't have a huge hatred for the White Sox must be a huge fan of his...

ADAM LAROCHE.

Bruce Chen sucks, always has. So we better score like 7 runs off him tonight.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 09:25 AM) Is this greg???? Felix Diaz beat the Cubs in one of his first starts, so easy on him. He never faced the Yanks either. Dun dun dun.

Rafael Furcal has been the best SS in baseball this year. So weird.

QUOTE (StatManDu @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:22 AM) A few nuggets from Thursday’s game in which the White Sox defeated the Angels 1-0 at U.S. Cellular Field behind a first inning run scored by the Sox first batter of the game and a complete-game effort from left-hander John Danks. This was the … … first 1-0 win at home since the “Black Out” victory over Minnesota on 9-30-08 (Danks eight innings; Jenks one inning for the save; run scored on Jim Thome’s seventh inning homer) … first 1-0 win with run scored in first inning since 7-14-05 at Cleveland (Iguchi scored on Thomas 2B) … Contreras seven innings; Politte, Marte and Hermanson went the rest of the way with Hermanson getting the final two outs for the save … first 1-0 win with run scored in the first inning at home since 9-13-00 (Thomas and Baines back to back two out doubles) … Parque seven innings, Howry one inning, Foulke one inning for the save. … first complete game by a Sox pitcher in a 1-0 victory since Jack McDowell on 8-22-93 at Minnesota … McDowell’s 20th win … Struck out 10 including Dave Winfield and Shane Mack back-to-back to end it … Run scored on a Thomas homer in the first … first complete game by Sox pitcher in a 1-0 victory at US Cellular Field since Charlie Hough on 8-4-91 vs. Baltimore. … Hough outdueled Mike Mussina, who was making his big league debut … Only run came on a Thomas homer … first 1-0 win with run scored by Sox first batter of the game since 8-15-87 at Toronto (Guillen walk, steal, to third on Donnie Hill groundout and scored on Harold Baines groundout) … Dotson six-hitter. … first complete game by a Sox lefty in a 1-0 victory since Britt Burns beat the A’s on three hits on 6-19-83 at Comiskey Park … Run scored when Baines doubled in Kittle with two outs in the fourth … first 1-0 run with run scored by Sox first batter of the game at home since 6-12-78 vs. Cleveland (Garr bunt single and to second on error; third on sac; scored on Wayne Nordhagen sac fly) … Ken Kravec pitched the first seven innings before giving way to Jim Willoughby who earned the save. All of those are very good omens. We made the playoffs every one of those years.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:13 AM) too bad we can't see Peavy vs Vazquez in the postseason...a battle of the worst postseason reputations. You can say that again, lol. Except they're two polarizing personalities. Peavy cares too much, Javy doesn't give a f***.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:06 AM) I was looking towards the playoffs. Hughes and Javy won't sniff the playoff rotation with those first 4 in place. If Burnett keeps pitching like he has, he's gonna tank in his first start and never see the mound in the playoffs again.

How can you leave off Hughes? He's been the best pitcher on that staff. Burnett and Javy have been overpaid hot garbage this year. They're getting a combined $27 million more than Freddy Garcia and neither one is outproducing him.

I want to see a healthy Jake Peavy.

Win the series against the Royals and worry about this stuff later. Personally, I'd like to see the Twins take 2 of 3.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 09:14 AM) Morrow would be the best pure shooter the Bulls have had in two decades (besides Steve Kerr, but Morrow is way more of a complete offensive player) But a crappy defender. All of the guys left on the market have some huge flaws.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 10:07 PM) Bulls should trade for Antawn Jameson, Rashard Lewis, or Jason Richardson. No to the first two. Maybe to the last one.
