wtf mlb.tv is right. better have it goin by the time our 8 hitter is up.

I agree with most of this. Homeruns can change a game. Not saying all 81 games can be changed, but the majority should.

Haha no s***, this place will be bananas if he sucks hard.

Heck he could DH against the lefty for all I care.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 09:46 PM) Wise has been playing like this since august of last year. He's not leaving unless KW forces him out of the organization. Then the answer must be BA hate from Ozzie, wouldn't ya think? It's clearly not DWise impressing Ozzie with his play. It's something else; what is it?

Wise is playing himself out of a job rather quickly guys, don't worry. The garbage always filters out. Anderson is still here because he is not garbage.

Man, everyone lost in the division as well.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) Can we at least give Anderson 1 chance to be the regular, every day starter before we say that? Please? Just once? No s*** right?

Pods looked like a torpedo flying up the line there. He's hitting every ball hard too. What's the deal with Wise being out of options? Does this force us to keep him, and send BA down? I wouldn't mind someone else pickin up Wise. BA is our boy now, I hope he is on this team for years to come.

What's up everybody? I'd like to begin by pointing out that Jason Giambi is 46 years older than anybody else on that team.

Whisler has a pretty sick changeup; looks better than many major league changeups. I just worry that the fastball sits at 87mph; not everybody is Mark frickin Buehrle.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 09:15 PM) It was a catch that a normal CF makes in stride without looking like he had to put in max effort. For Wise and playing shallow, its a web gem. Thats the difference between a good OF and a guy using cunning and gile to get by. ^^^^ What this guy's sayin. Don't give Dweezy more credit than he deserves with this cunning talk. Actually you are probably right. I shouldn't hate the man because he sucks. You are right, he is obviously trying as hard as he can to stay here, and cunning and gile are his 2 tools. Speaking of which, is it possible for someone to have 7 tools now?

That was a good catch. Sucks for all the Wise haters...Wait, I mean everybody.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 09:08 PM) We would have been better off just releasing Swisher instead of taking on this crap. I like this. Question: Does Betimit have that good of an eye to take those borderline outside fastballs with 2 strikes on him? Seems like something a good hitter might not even be able to do. What a turd

Wow do I feel better looking at that cubs score...This needs investigating

Shouldn't this be a big deal? Why are our players not completely embarrassed about a scrub rookie beating them every time? Why is this not an issue? Why doesn't the media get on the players? Why do they get a free pass on this every time. The whole thing with being a rookie, in any form of the word, is to get knocked around by the more experienced. Rookies are supposed to get picked on by the seasoned guys, in any line of work. So my question is WTF, why isn't somebody screaming at our batters for embarrassing the team, the tradition of the game, and the entire city? This is a way bigger deal than we are making it, IMO. I need to get punched in the face, I'd feel better.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 04:48 PM) No big deal. Of course it's not a big deal; it's a message board. His apology to you was definitely not sincere, or at least I'd be very very surprised if it was. Dismount that giant horse.

That ball almost popped out of his glove cuz he jumped like an idiot.

It's just a stupid, mediocre approach. You'd think a .561 average from Beckham might push him a bit. C'mon Fields, pick it up man!

How does a 91 MPH fastball get by Fields when he has 2 strikes? Shouldn't he be short and protecting?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 06:52 PM) I can't believe we're actually platooning BA again. Well, yes I can, but god f***in damn it, this is so retarded. It's even more retarded because Ozzie is actually sacrificing both offense and defense just to play Wise over BA. Hopefully it becomes evident within a few days that BA is the superior player.

How the heck did josh do that?

Is there anyway to watch minor league games online? Or should I just wait for Becks promotion later this week? I hate Lillisuck

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 23, 2009 -> 11:21 PM) With CR starting to establish himself, it's going to get very interesting to watch what Aaron Poreda does in his next 3-4 starts. Colon seems to be living on luck, and Contreras is approaching sitiuational relief territority. We could be seeing the start of the next generation of White Sox starting pitching. Well said with Colon living on luck; I couldn't agree more. Seems he throws that same 89-91 hard-tailing fastball every pitch. Does he throw an off-speed pitch? I don't even know why he's been as successful as he has with one pitch. Definitely going to need one more starter, 2 if Clay falls flat, don't know if Poreda is that guy yet. I hope it's a good Contreras.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ May 22, 2009 -> 10:26 AM) no its not....Padres fans should hate him more though...he's basically got a gun to their head Since when are we all Padres fans here on Soxtalk? He didn't want to come to a bad team; so what? Why do you blame him for that and take it so personally? I agree that Padres fans should be pretty sick of these shenanigans
