QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) Seriously, get MacDougal the f*** off of this team. I hate this past offseason so much. At least we have Jeff Marquez, right? Right?

I'm kinda pissed, right now.

f***

The movement on Colon's pitches is amazing. Best he's looked in years.

Anyone still think we should have traded Dye for Bailey?

A Sad Day in White Sox History Nearly as quickly as the glorious start to his White Sox career started, it was quickly brought to an end. Michael Dubee, the man acquired for Tadahito Iguchi, has been traded to the Pirates for journeyman-infielder Andy Phillips. Say, it with me Andy, “We’re not worthy”

Scott Merkin ain't afraid of no ghost. http://scottmerkin.mlblogs.com/archives/20...endly_ghos.html

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 03:05 PM) watching the yankee game during the breaks - something weird is going on, BUNCH of empty seats behind home plate. Those seats are incredibly expensive, it's understandable.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 02:55 PM) Is this Walters loser the best the Cards have in the minors? Sadly, yes. They have a decent 3b and Catching prospect, that's it.

I’m betting we see either a non-merit based promotion for McCulloch to AAA or a move to the bullpen soon. I get the impression that the organization is very disgruntled with him at this point, and will either want to move him up to see how he reacts, or try to give him a chance to find a chance at a foothold in the pen.

Scott Merkin is a ghost-hunting badass? Sweet!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 11:48 PM) Do any of you think Girardi will be first manager fired this season? Nah, Cecil Cooper seems more likley.

What the hell just happened? Did we just win? Holy s***!

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 08:42 PM) He is such an awful pitcher. He'll likely be out of baseball in 3 years. Thankfully we made the right call in not keeping him with the big league club. Thank God we based a trade around him.

I wouldn't trade for Fukudome until the day of the deadline, right now, he's doing exactly what he did last year, hitting well for the first two months, after that, he could very well be miserable again. I don't like his contract, but given how much Lou loves Reed Johnson, the presence of Joey Gathright, and the ghost of Tyler Colvin in AA it could be a possibility.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 03:50 PM) Kyle Gibson and Aaron Crow are in the draft as 2 power arms. Crow won't make it to the Sox, but Gibson might/should. Both are Missouri guys, Crow is a Boras guy but didn't sign last year with the Nats so he has less leverage. Gibson has great stuff, but considering he's probably a top 3 to 4 pitcher in the draft, i doubt he'll slip to us.

Milton Bradley is freaking crazy. Hell of a hitter though.

I think we're digging bigger holes, people. Let's try to walk a fine line on this race stuff.

Imagine the Rangers offense with the Giants pitching. That'd be a hell of team.

QUOTE (tommy @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) I got a 22 Podsednik with a WS patch, and still wear it to the games. Me too. Great story around that one too.

Isn't BA like 0-2 with 3 BB's this year? That's a hell of a sample size.

Nieman got hit around last week by the O's. He tends to leave a 90 MPH Two-seamer high in the zone, which means we should do well, but he's also an inexperienced young pitch who we've never seen before, which means we should suck.

This thread is going to be adorable when Swish finishes the year hitting about .246, with 28 homers, 88 RBI's and a .356 OPB.

I thought the Mariners would be good this year, never though they would look this good, this fast.
