QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 05:05 PM) I'm not sure what the reason is, but I find Ed Farmer a lot easier to listen to this year. He's talking less. Unfortunately, that means more DJ. And more DJ = BAD.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 05:49 PM) I love Sabermetrics. Five years ago it would be nearly impossible to see that Jake wasn't pitching nearly as badly as the superficial numbers implied. Sabermetrics showed and proved that a correction was imminent. That's why I kept faith. It was only a matter of time. Both Floyd and Peavy had pretty good peripherals when they had really s***ty ERAs.

I love this team right now. Peavy's ERA now well below 5 and his FIP is at 4.13 and his xFIP is at 3.99. As a nice tidbit, the White Sox starting staff leads the AL in FIP and xFIP. Our entire starting staff is now under a ERA of 5. Pitching has been the key.

Another great outing by Jake. Looks like he got tired at the end there.

Ah crap, they're loaded.

Give Pena some work.

Bad walk there.

lol Lee just singled on a double. Rios scares people with that arm.

Peavy is just killin' em.

Quentin's OPS: .785.

What's gotten into Carlos? OMG...

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 04:30 PM) didn't hinrich come off the bench a lot? wouldn't that change those numbers? He was better last year, when he was a bench player, than he was this year...

Brent Lillibridge also makes me feel better about my own baseball abilities.

At this rate, Jake can go 8 innings...

Konerko has to be on the team since Teixeira is still hitting like s***. You can take 3 extra 1B.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 04:28 PM) Not really, you just play James at the SG position. It isn't like Hinrich is a lights out shooter who really stretches out the floor that would be a perfect fit for those guys. Yeah, that's true. But getting rid of Deng's contract also means a little more wiggle room for a guy like Ray Allen.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 04:23 PM) I can't hate Omar and Pierre. They play the game the right way. Hard. Effort can only do so much...

But I do have to say, if we do get Bosh and LeBron, Deng is almost dead weight . I'd rather have Hinrich.

Deng's a better player than Hinrich. Deng's WARP over the past two years is 6.2. Hinrich's WARP is 2.2. Basketball metrics aren't exactly as good as the baseball ones, but that's a 4 win difference.

Gordo?

71 pitches for Jake. I think he can go 7 unless he gets into trouble.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 04:07 PM) Gorz would look good in our bullpen. He'd look great as a long man or a situational lefty.

Hendry did a hell of a job of getting Gorzelanny as a throw-in in the Grabow deal last year.

lol Brenly called the Cubs a"dead ass team". Somebody's not afraid.

Quentin's OPS is now .776.
