Wow, we're awesome.

What were you looking for Mark?

Kotay GIDP to 2nd. Book it.

Alright, A.J!

I remember Walker from MVP Baseball 2005. He's been around for a long while, good to see him finally make it to the show.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 09:32 PM) Sorry, I was watching the Octavio Dotel show. 5 saves this year vs the Cubs! That was awesome to see. I've always liked Dotel.

It's sad watching ball land in LF and just knowing there's no chance of Pierre's arm making a play on anyone.

Hawk loves Subway.

Alright, Buehrle! Way to pitch past it!

Yeah, i like that.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 09:04 PM) So Tracye Thompson is now out for a s***load of time, undergoing surgery? Another kick in the nuts for this organization.

Well, this isn't good.

I like that the bottom half of the Rangers lineup sucks giant donkey balls. This bodes well for us. 1. E. Andrus, SS 2. M. Young, 3B 3. I. Kinsler, 2B 4. V. Guerrero, 5. J. Hamilton, 6. J. Arias, 1B 7. D. Murphy, RF 8. M. Treanor, C 9. C. Gentry, CF

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 06:51 PM) From Mark Gonzales: Shame about Teahen, but I could get behind a platoon at 3b.

Lillibridge’s time here is off to an auspicious start. His luggage didn’t arrive so he’s using Gordon’s glove and Kotsay’s cleats. http://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/15203022656

Looks like Willis is going to the D-backs. That's as good a fit as he could have found.

Awesome, Vizquel. Yay.

Brett Lillibridge as our first “deserved” call-up is a pretty damning declaration on the state of the White Sox minor league organization.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) At 3b, that might be generous. I make a lot of excuses for Nix, but I think he’s manageable at 3b. The numbers support that’s he’s at least average, the eye test has him looking wobbly with flashes of brilliance. If Ozzie gives him the time, he might even develop into an above-average 3b. I think we might as well use the time that’s Teahen out to see him he can actually adjust.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 11:58 AM) At the position he'd be filling in for? Yup. The double error doesn't close the book on Nix at 3b. He's fine there, he's just better at 2b. If he had said SS, i'd agree. Nix can't quite handle that position, but he's perfectly capable of playing a good 3b.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 11:20 AM) With alot of K's and mediocre to poor defense. Yes, because if Jayson Nix is know for anything it's his "mediocre to poor defense."

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 31, 2010 -> 08:21 PM) A 26 year old in his 4th year in AAA hitting .270 with a .331 OBP and 13 errors has earned it? I think it just shows the lack of depth in the White Sox organization. He won't help unless he's used exclusively as a pinch runner. That's what i mean, yeah. He deserves it, but not in a vacuum. We suck.

Mark Gonzalez seems to think the Sox face a dilemma in picking Ozney Guillen. I tend to disagree. We either get him or we don’t: it’s not the end of the world. I just hope we don’t pick him too high. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,6114163.story

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 31, 2010 -> 07:55 PM) How can you look forward to seeing Omar playing instead of anybody? It wasn't so much sarcasm, as it was an admission of what Ozzie is likely to do, but yeah, i want Nix to play.

I'm going to be very frustrated if we go out hacking against Harden. He has a lot or trouble throwing strikes, we need to be patient.
