QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 10:27 AM) And based on every other half of his career him being about how is playing now or better, what makes you believe that is the form to which he will revert back to? I don't know I just don't wanna see the bad Rios back again and have everyone here talking about how he has a bad contract and KW is an idiot for picking him up or how his contract is going to keep us from signing somebody else or blah blah blah. It's just nice to see Rios hitting for us.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 04:54 PM) Its power level is well over 9000. I see what you did there Vegeta. QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 02:53 PM) So I posted this yesterday: Nothing has changed on that front but I have another fun fact: Juan Pierre is one of only two players in the game with at least 60 PA (Pierre has 84 PA) and no extra base hits, the other is Chris Coghlan. If Juan doesn't pick up an XBH sometime in the next 3 games it'll mark only the 3rd time in his career in which he's failed to pick up an XBH in a full month's worth of play. The other 2: April, 2002: .284/.371/.284/.655 (102 PA) Sept, 2000: .286/.339/.286/.625 (124 PA) April, 2010: .211/.268/.211/.479 (84 PA) Other players with only 1 XBH: Pierzynski (1 2B), Podsednik (1 2B), Borbon (1 3B), DeWitt (1 2B) I love Pierre, but something has to give. I'm sick and tired of those lil popcorn fart hits to the short stop. I'd hate to have to move Rios up there. I say leave him alone before he reverts back to the 2009 second half Alex Rios.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 08:14 PM) Does the "JFP" in the subtitle of the game thread stand for Jake f***ing Peavy? If so, is that said the same way Red Sox fans say Bucky f***ing Dent? QUOTE (jenks45monster @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 07:36 PM) JFPFS. This...

That f**king sucks...

Was CQ grimacing as he was rounding third, or is that just the way he looks?

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 02:01 PM) Imma have to agree with this. JFP is going to be on tonight. I'm sensing 8 innings / 3 hit shutout or something of that order. Feel free to kick me in the nuts whenever you feel like it.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 08:42 AM) I have a good feeling about Peavy inthis game. I think he gets back on track. Just need the offense to show up. Imma have to agree with this. JFP is going to be on tonight. I'm sensing 8 innings / 3 hit shutout or something of that order.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 12:12 PM) Meh, no thanks. I would rather take Lance Berkman since he will come much cheaper. Who would you be willing to give up for Berkman?

I would think that it's never going to happen, but you never know with KW. I think if Fielder did come here and sign a long term deal, there would have to be something in his contract about his weight. That guy is huge. And he's young now... how long are those knees going to hold up under all that weight? He reminds me of Mo Vaughn with the Mets. Let the boston red cubs trade for and sign Fielder, then the White Sox would only have to compete with the Braves and the Mets for Adrian Gonzalez.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 09:29 PM) I see Kotsay is in the tank or he sends Nix down and signs a free agent. Ozzie doesn't do that mind you it is up to KW. I am not so thrilled with this Pierre deal either, but can see giving him more time since he can steal bases Honestly, I really don't see how KW can fix this without blowing it up. If he could have signed or traded for a hitter he would have already done it by now. Who can he get? And who's going to sit if he does pull something off?

Depressing. How many games are the Sox out now?

How the hell can you strike out right there?

Horsesh*t that was a ball

Alexei... LOL God bless him but Konerko has to be the slowest ball player on the planet.

Walk off b***hes...

Plus the Cubs play here

What channel is it on tonight? Because it sucked being on CSN+2bAlternateCLTV channel 3289 or whatever the hell channel it was on last night.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 06:27 AM) Didn't JR say money was there for another hitter a couple of years ago? Maybe he ought to look under his bed. Forbes said he pulled a $26 million profit last year. A bigger profit than the Cubs. I remember being flamed on this board this past winter for suggesting JR could really afford free agents if he wanted them. Did the Sox really make that big of a profit last year?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 06:41 AM) I don't know where Sabathia struggling makes it OK for Peavy to blow leads in 4 games and sport a 7.66 ERA, but whatever. Plus we don't have A Rod, Jeter, Teixiera, Granderson, etc. that can go out and score a bunch of runs to cover up for the pitching suckage either. And we don't have the ability to go out and add another $100 million when we need to like the yanks can. So I would say that the worrying about Peavy is warranted.

Bases clearing double

Wow... I just got home and turned on the game. I see that I didn't miss too much. Who knew Peavy would suck so bad??

I'm one of those people that was hoping that KW picked up Milton Bradley. I happen to like the guy.

No. I say leave Rios alone. He's finally hitting now and we don't want him to lose it. Leave him be.

I think the question should be have I ever gone to a game with someone. I go all the time by myself. I always end up striking up conversation or high 5ing somebody. It's cool. And like the earlier post said you don't have to worry about anyone else's schedule. I went to the Blackout game by myself because my girlfriend said it was too cold. Needless to say she missed out.
