A.J. was actually safe. Ump blew the call.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 03:57 PM) Don't you think Konerko would have at least swung if it was a hit and run? I think he just went on his own. Thing is, he stopped and then went. Plus, I think the ball to Konerko was a ball.

I think that could have been a hit and run. Hit and runs against Wakefield aren't a good idea. You might as well do a straight steal.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 03:39 PM) Rios needs to figure it out soon. If I'm him, I'd get on base with some walks instead of swinging up in the count.

Youk - He Gawn. Papi - He Gawn. Bay - HE GAWN!

Adam Dunn is just a younger version of Thome right now. He's having a career year, but you'd basically be overpaying for him since you can get similar production out of Thome (less homers and walks, but similar hitters). I'm not so sure about Matsui. Abreu, I do like because he's more of a doubles hitter than a home run hitter. We need more doubles hitters on this team. They're more consistent and Abreu also gets on base a lot. Delgado will pretty much give you the numbers Thome gave us this year.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 03:28 PM) we should be trying to steal as much as possible with the combination of Wakefield/Martinez. Martinez is atrocious. Wakefield throws 68. I don't see a reason not to.

Alexei Ks. Nice inning.

Now Getz steals second.

His recent cold stretch might have had something to do with fatigue.

Getz is on fire.

Another walk. Let's go Q. Don't swing too hard.

2-0. Konerko comes through.

Nice bunt by A.J. Konerko has good numbers against Wakefield. Way to put runners in scoring position for him.

Getz, Alexei, and Pods should have a field day with Wakefield today. 1 SB already.

Beckham has a sore back...hmm. Nix is his replacement.

Is Wakefield on a pitch count?

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 10:16 PM) I like 1, 6, & 10 6 is my favorite due to running back depth. Actually, team 3 is my least favorite. The receiver depth isn't great, but the RBs really swayed me. Plus, this league doesn't really value QBs that much (40 yards per point? Ouch). So Having Warner as a 1 doesn't seem too bad.

It's funny. We scored 9 off Boston on the same day a week ago.

Getz's OBP is approaching where it should be for him to start leading off. Keep it up.

Great win. Good present for Hawk on his b-day. Freddy was good, Hudson with a nice debut, offense tee'd off that pervert Paul Byrd.

I really like team 3. Love the depth. Plus, Jones-Drew + Slaton at RB is a hell of a combo. Team 10 is my second favorite I guess. Nothing really stands out to me outside of team 3.

Hudson threw 24 pitches. 17 strikes. That's pretty good control.

Daniel Hudson mowin' em down.

Fields has actually become pretty patient. It's too bad that his patience just leads to an eventual strike out.
