Beckham is Dunn's Mini-me when he has a bat in his hands

salt in wound, beating dead horse, when it rains it pours, etc

Welcome to the WhiteSox, Mr. Stewart.

Our whole approach is f***ing laughable, Beckham continues to prove he's not a major leaguer

I'd rather have Vizquel at 2B over Beckham, Gordon is clueless with a baseball bat.

If there's one lefty Dunn should face, it's Chen. Lefties have more success off him than righties because he uses his fastball more against LHB, throws more junk to RHB My guess, Ozzie has no clue on this and goes almost completely right handed and we lose 3-0 or 3-1

Gordon Beckham is awful, f***ing awful. Not hyperbole

Why the f*** would you buy season tickets for the WhiteSox? You can sit damn near anywhere you want at any game and tickets are always available Kudos to those that use their money for it, but it makes no sense to me

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 08:26 PM) Seriously, you swing at that? Holy hell, he sucks. Just an absolutely worthless player from the 7th inning and later. He's pretty terrible, not the same player we saw in 2009. He still had his impressive college mechanics, he's turned into another all or nothing Sox hitter. I want somebody else at 2B next year, glove be damned

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 06:44 PM) Get the feeling Humber is out of gas this year. pretty obvious his arm is dead

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 04:24 AM) Trading Beckham at his lowest possible value just doesn't make any sense. Rios could be the leadoff hitter. Or Lillibridge/DeAza. Ramirez would be the 3rd best option. Go with Door #2. None of those 'Doors' are an adequate option, A leadoff hitter is supposed to be able to get on base

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 01:36 AM) I forgot about longing for Tank cause it's obvious Sox won't let him play in the bigs this year. He'll be a September call up and rarely play. Next year is a different story. They'll let Pierre go without resigning him and it'll be Tank time. Obviously the plan was to keep him in the minors all year. I disagree with it but I got over it cause they wouldn't bring him up. It'll be interesting to see who they sign to leadoff in 2012, Pierre most likely won't be back Leadoff will come from: OF- CQ, Viciedo or Rios traded 3B- Morel experiment ends 2B- Beckham traded My guess, one of either CQ or Beckham is dealt in the offseason

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 09:53 PM) Guillen is overmannaging the bullpen like Tony LaRussa. But I can't complain about the Santos/Sale thing at all. Although if I'm Chris Sale, I wouldn't be so pleased that Ozzie is deliberately letting Santos vulture saves away from me. doubt Sale cares about saves when he'll eventually be a starting pitcher

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 09:04 PM) I saw it, but i saw it as incidental contact, not a shove. Cuzzi turned a few different ways to get out of the way of Showalter but Buck was trying to shadow him. If he is fined I wont agree with it it was incidental but it occured because he was crowding the f*** out of Cuzzi, like "i'm getting in your face"

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 09:02 PM) How did Rios look at the plate tonight? And might I add, Chris Davis making contact against Sale might be the upset of the season. not great, he kept his hands up in his stance like he has been lately but wasnt really helpful

Anybody see Showalter bump into Cuzzi's shoulder after getting tossed? Thought you arent allowed to make any contact with the umpires, wonder if he'll be suspended

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 05:22 PM) His slider is untouchable. Might be the most dominating pitch a Sox pitcher has had in our lifetime. hyperbole, ban him!!!!

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 08:49 PM) We've won 5 in a row not 6. congrats on upping your post count :lol edited my post. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) We've only won 5 so far. And the Os just extended Hardy. Thats cool bro, lets trade Beckham for Hardy in the offseason.

Sox lose 6 then win 5, OK. Longest winning streak of the year none the less, need to sweep this team though IMO, any updates on the Tribe/Tigers game ? PPD or they still waiting it out? Think the O's would trade Hardy for Beckham, or is Hardy a FA in the offseason? I know he was on the Twins last year

Zero reason to bring Floyd back out unless you feel bad for the O's on the blown call edit: lol, ozzie brings him back out. haha!

0 chance Flowers is our starting catcher next year unless AJ is traded which isnt happening. David Wright, you think we're adding payroll?

JFP working the Twins over with a 90-91mph FB

How many more seasons before Gardy is fired?

I posted about this a week or two ago, this team is horrendous when it comes to OBP

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 11:44 PM) 2/3 of the season in the books. 65 quality starts. Starters-- 3.83 ERA Bullpen-- 3.46 ERA Only 39-26 with a quality start. What a waste of a season. When waste is in control, you'll have waste as a result Man. Was I wrong about having a chance at winning the division, the players for the most part look like they have packed it in
