Last year, Kotsay was squaring every thing up, now he's just hitting it off the end of the bat.

Watching Rios play, is a treat. This kid can do anything and everything and make it look like the easiest thing in the world.

Oh, Wow! RIOS!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 12, 2010 -> 02:34 PM) The only guy in the Twins's lineup with a lower batting average than Pierre is Harris. I know, but hitting singles is his forte, and i'd prefer for him to not be on the Sox, and instead on our hated rivals.

Why don't you tag there?

Man, Juan Dog would be perfect for the Twins.

The Twins can just pick him apart. It was never about the dome, it was about the organizational hitting approach.

There was really nothing worthy about that pitch to swing at it, Gordon.

I enjoy winning. Ballsy effort by Freddy. Let's take the series.

Yeah, i want Alex Gordon. A lot. Wouldn't mind Kila either.

Freddy should have had his start pushed back. The Twins could pick him apart.

It's never a good thing for an organization to get swept by its biggest rival.

It's never a bad thing for this system to have more LHP depth.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 9, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) Hah, you crack me up with your admiration for Nixy..it's good though, I like positives. The problem with Nix is HE CAN'T HIT RIGHTIES. Remember that! Do not underestimate my willingness to look like an idiot in my defense of Jayson Nix. For now, he's a good option for a platoon player with Teahen, his defense might be decent enough to make a decent option to replace Beckham for a short period, certainly not for the long haul.

Thornton cannot be the closer for this team, unless we bring in a good lefty from outside this organization. If this organization plans on removing the inning restrictions on Santos then you leave him in the set-up role, and make Putz the closer. If Santo can still work one inning per, then he needs to be the new closer.

Nix looked pretty good out at 3b, worked some great ab's. It looks like in the event of a Beckham demotion he won't carry the team, but he might not sink it.

He was having a really touching moment with his grandma, then he broke up the hug, and exclaimed, "Let's go eat!"

He did it! Wow. Poor Rays becoming a habit.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2010 -> 05:47 PM) You expected Beckham and Quentin to be this bad? No, but i expected our offense to be terrible and Jenks to be bad. Things have a habit of working out, just not in the way you'd think.

Superb game by Rios. Great game by TCQ Good game from Nix. I'm not suprised to see Jenks going down in flames. His numbers have been suggesting this for quite some time. Here's a new ad for Boyer: White Sox Baseball 2010: What You Really Didn't See This Coming?

Great work by Jenks to destroy ever good vibe that was working for this team. Really solid job to close this season out.

Drop him down in the order for three weeks. If that doesn't cut it, let him play in AAA, and make Nix the starter.

I thought he had that one.

I think he comes through here. It might be wishful thinking.
