Almost a Kotsay-esque baserunning move by Beckham.

f***ing bunt.

Nice swing by Beckham. These things are going to keep falling.

CASTRO!!!! PUT IT ON THE BOARD

Nice inning by Freddy.

Lawrie and Gamel should be a nice test for Hynick. That Brewers AA offense isn't as potent as years past, but it's still decent.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 28, 2010 -> 08:02 PM) Lack of playing time might do that for you... If this was a sitcom, Nix would say his catchphrase and then disappear for fourty episodes. Actually, i think that's pretty much how the reality show will turn out.

Danks K's again. Grass is green.

That was right down the middle, Nix. What the hell were you looking for?

That was a killer pitch location. Right on the corner.

The White Sox have a bonafide superstar in Rios.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 28, 2010 -> 04:05 PM) And until Beckham and Quentin start hitting, I'm not going to complain one iota if they keep rotating through the bench every 2-3 days to work on their swings in the batting cage. I was more weirded out by us benching A.J. for Castro. We should be exposing A.J. to as many scouts as possible.

I still can't see Colvin keeping this level of production up as a full-time starter. His k/BB rate in the minor spells certain doom.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 28, 2010 -> 03:52 PM) That's the point. They're not our best 9. In the long-term, I'd rather seem that lineup then any lineup with Vizquel or Kotsay in it. For now, Kotsay can ride his hot streak, but the nine i listed are the best guys on the roster (which says more bad then good.)

I'm not talking about tonights game in particular, i just haven't seen a lineup with our best nine (A.J, Konerko, Beckham, Teahen, Ramirez, Jones, Rios, Pierre, TCQ) in some time. We're abusing versatility.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 28, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) Pierre LF Ramirez SS Rios CF Konerko 1B Jones RF Quentin DH Teahen 3B Castro C Beckham 2B Are we ever going to throw out an actual starting lineup with (what should be) our nine starters? It just seems like we keep going from having TCQ out, Kotsay in, Jones out, AJ out, Castro in without rhyme or reason.

Heyman weighs in, "Despite the White Sox's unexpected early struggles and some small rumor of change in the manager's office, one person familiar with that team's setup said, "Ozzie (Guillen) isn't going anywhere.'' http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writ...l#ixzz0pFiVaQ1U

I want KW to stay and i want Ozzie gone. I think KW will get a Paxson-like promotion and Hahn will become the GM, and Ozzie will (sadly) stay.

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 28, 2010 -> 11:48 AM) Nick Swisher and Todd Ritchie are the two that come to mind right away. We did do our homework on Swish, we just took one bad grade and made it indicative of a larger sample size. YAY FOR METAPHORS. (and the word indicative!!!!)

I still have high hopes for Holmberg, but i can't imagine us seeing much of him for a couple more years running.

I'm thinking this team gets torn down after the draft. I'm looking forward to it.

Ozzie insists that Bobby is throwing the ball well, and will continue his reign (of terror) as the Sox closer. "Manager Ozzie Guillen said Bobby Jenks remains his closer after allowing three runs in the ninth inning of Wednesday's 5-4 win at Cleveland. "He will dictate how long he will be out there," Guillen said before Thursday night's game at Tampa Bay. "I still have confidence in the kid. I think he's still throwing the ball well. He's just not getting it done." http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/

QUOTE (flavum @ May 27, 2010 -> 09:51 PM) These daily boxscores are mostly garbage. Is there anyone good in this organization other than Daniel Hudson? I almost said Brett Lillibridge, and then i threw up in my mouth a little.

Another loss. I don't really get worked up about it anymore, last year losing destroyed me.
