QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 08:22 PM) The Rays dramatic rise as well as the fact that they play in the same division as Boston and NY make them a lot more visible than our Club. I guess. But still, I wouldn't put it like nobody cares about the Sox, we're still in a pretty big market.

Nice play by Dayan.

Borbon? Really?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 08:20 PM) He stil has 12 RBI in last 12 games. That says nothing about power. And from my recollection, a lot of those are on RBI groundouts.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) I don't know what Rios has done in the last month, but I hope he can find April/May Rios again. It ain't good. He's still got a decent batting average, but his power's been sapped.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) Base hit or sac fly or ground out? Ground out.

We've scored more than half of our runs in this series on RBI groundouts or sac flies it seems.

Tie game.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 08:17 PM) How many HR did Dayan have in the minors? It was in double digits.

We better at least score one here. They're giving us the run.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) Well, you can chalk that up to us being the Chicago White Sox. No one gives a s*** about us. It's not like anybody gives a s*** about the Rays, yet they still had guys like Crawford and Longoria get in.

I kind of want Pierre to bunt here, but I have the feeling that we're not going to score with two guys in RISP.

Lillibunt!

Holy crap. I just looked at Alexei's UZR and it's +8.6. It must be Omar Vizquel...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) That's not true. I watch a lot of our games on other teams' broadcasts, and they all talk about how he has turned his career around. Now I dunno if they realize just how great he was in April and May, but they have recognized how well he has been playing. I've had people tell me that "it's only two months" and crap. Maybe I've just run into a lot of stupid people, but it doesn't seem like Rios is being appreciated enough. Just look at the ASG voting.

We've had guys in RISP with less than two outs for the last three innings and we still haven't scored. WTF?

2-1, lol.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 07:29 PM) Im so glad someone finally mentioned Rios and Konerko. It was sickening how not a single person has brought up Konerko on ESPN, but everyone single one of them is heart broken that Youkilis didn't make it. He did get one thing wrong. Just as he complains about Infante being on the team, you can use all those arguments for why Strasburg doesn't deserve to be on the team. Strasburg has some of the best stuff in the major leagues and has been impressive, but he's only had 6 starts and been in the bigs for a month! He didn't earn a spot on the team, plain and simple, no argument can say he earned the right to be an all-star other than hype. Rhodes and Meeks both make sense. Rhodes was needed because they need at least 1 lefty to face some of the lefties on the AL team, and Rhodes is arguably the best LOOGY in baseball right now. Latos deserves a spot over Lincecum, Lincecum only hurts the NL squad with the way he's been pitching the past month+. You know why he did? Because Jeff Passan likes sabermetrics. Seriously, outside of the sabermetric circle and us White Sox fans, most people still think Rios sucks.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 08:03 PM) He GIDP? I hate AJ with a passion. He is the only guy I have it in my heart to really dislike. He goes up there with no approach whatsoever. I know he supposedly is a great signal caller, but I want no part of resigning him next year. He popped into a double play because Ozzie had a hit and run on...

Oh what the hell?

lol Quentin's raising that wOBA by reaching on errors. Man Michael Young sucks at defense.

Feldman is terrible and we have one run...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 07:47 PM) Playing with Deron Williams will do that to your numbers, not that I don't like Boozer, just sayin. It's not a huge downgrade when he comes here and plays with Rose. Deron is on another level, but the downgrade isn't gigantic.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 06:26 PM) They were shooting for the UZR title. They're not even leading in that category.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 06:08 PM) Lillibomb's current OPS? 1.875 That's equivalent to a wOBA of .776, which in 8 plate appearances equals an awesome 2.9 batting runs and a 0.3 WAR. You see that? Brent Lillibridge is worth more than Andruw Jones, Mark Kotsay, and Gordon Beckham combined!
