ThunderBolt

Two more hits and Rios will be hitting 300 tomorrow.

KW better not need the rest of the month to get a read of Kotsay.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ May 3, 2010 -> 10:03 PM) haha peavy yellin at the umpire as he was leaving the field It reminds me of when we put him against the Tigers in what should have been a meaningless game for him last year, and he left the field in one of the later innings screaming, "YEAH, THAT"S WHAT I'M f***ING TALKING ABOUT," after getting a K to retire the side..

Peavy is back.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:54 PM) Twins blown that big lead yet? No, but it's only a matter of time. Without Joe Nathan their bullpen will be exposed.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:53 PM) If Yuniesky Betancourt was my teammate, I'd take him out to so he wouldn't be able to play. He's literally the worst player in baseball who's getting full playing time. If I'm Mike Aviles, I'd be pissed beyond belief. Alex Gordon has no pity for either of those two players.

On the plus Pierre gets to meaninglessly steal a few more bases.

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do. One that’s about as many hits as Mork Kotsay is likely to get you,

After Peavy strikes out Pods i hope he looks over at the Royals dugout and bellows, "This ain't a sandwhich. IT"S A TORTATA!"

RIOS!!!!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:35 PM) THIS JUST IN.... WHITE SOX LEADING ALL OF MLB in stolen bases, 2 over Padres and 6 over the Rays. Never thought I would see this in my lifetime as a Sox fan, not since the new ballpark debuted. Aside from being fundamentally flawed and sucking ass for the majority of this season, i like the general makeup of this lineup... Damning, with faint praise.

You get what you paid for. Right? RIGHT?

KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES'!!!!

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:29 PM) IF juan could get on base even a third of the time this season, he may end up with 60 steals If I go out and start charging people money for sex, I might end the night with 60 bucks. Neither of those two things, me going out during finals, or successfully prostituting myself is going to happen. So, why should Pierre's happen? I- I lost my train of thought.

I hate Juan Pierre with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:26 PM) Peavy 70 pitches...getting closer to that terrible bullpen... You mean the terrible pen with Putz, Santos and Thornton in it?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) Hopefully we can lead the majors in stolen bases and caught stealings. Not so smart to send AJ when Teahen isn't a HIGH contact hitter at all. Nor is he a power hitter. He's more like a bigger Willie Bloomquist without the speed or defensive skills, but more doubles and a handful of homers. So, basically... he's nothing like Willie Bloomquist.

What did A.J. Do?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) Can't we just bring up someone who's not an A-level prospect (thinking Gartrell or Shelby) and just give them Kotsay's at-bats to see what happens...? I'm sorry for offending KW to think there might be a DH out there who do better than a 518 OPS. Tears are streaming from my eyes, that I now recognize TMK can't do the job, as hard as he wants to please us. I'd throw the Lucy-bone to Josh Kroeger. Let him have a victory lap in the majors before he retires.

PODS FLIES OUT TO PIERRE. THE WORLD IMPLODES.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) Why Kotsay sucks: 12.2% LD%, 48.8% FB%, for a guy with virtually no power, that's the formula you need to hit like crap. At least he's not hitting in a position usually reserved for run producers. Or being paid the same salary as a great clubhouse guy who could have been had.

TMK is just lulling us into a false sense of security. In a couple months, he's going to start grounding out to short. No one will see it coming.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) look at those wheels by andruw jones! Look at the brains on Brett!

Ozzie Ball! REDEEMED!
