QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:53 PM) 0-4. Welcome to the White Sox. Enjoy your money. FUN WITH SAMPLE SIZES!!!!

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:53 PM) Because he hit a slow grounder that just as easily could've been at the shortstop, leaving Kotsay stuck at 2nd. His job was to hit to the RIGHT side. Happy that he caught a break, but that's all it was. My god, he got a HIT. You've got to be kidding me. He got on base, he advanced the runner. HE GOT A HIT. We're b****ing at thim for doing exactly what needs to do to suceed at the major league level.

Not an auspicious debut for Rios.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:45 PM) Well, the lack of execution started with Nix hitting a ball to short and not the the right side. Nix got a hit. Why do you have a problem with him?

Wow, lot of line drives to Alexei tonight.

Here comes the hurting.

Oh, that's s*** luck. f*** me.

Felix is tearing us apart.

Oh, bulls***.

Nice, Nix. Nice! Keep it moving, folks.

Both Kroeger and Lillibridge have stolen a base.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 07:51 PM) You give the guy with the most speed and best OBP the shot at leading off and that's Gordon Beckham. Yes, but Beckham's strengths also lend itself strongly to the two-hole. This is from a BTBS post about Tom Tango's sabermetric thoughts on lineup construction from THE BOOK. "The Books says the #2 hitter comes to bat in situations about as important as the #3 hitter, but more often. That means the #2 hitter should be better than the #3 guy, and one of the best three hitters overall. And since he bats with the bases empty more often than the hitters behind him, he should be a high-OBP player. Doesn't sound like someone who should be sacrificing, does it?" http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2009/3/17...-your-lineup-by
