QUOTE (Jake @ May 24, 2012 -> 03:43 PM) Not very versatile bench player and I feel like it has to be better for him to play everyday at a lower level. Ideally Morel comes back healthy and hits better. If that happens, ODA would be a nice player to have on the bench. Morel though still is the future and we don't have much in the minors at third base. Morel plays solid D and have to hope that he develops like offensively. Very similar situation as when Crede started with us.

I came up with a new nickname THE ADAM BOMB. And it fits well with our Tank and Missile. Feel free to use that nickname or just use DAdam DAnn.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 24, 2012 -> 02:43 PM) 242 games. 782 chances, 51 errors .935 fielding percentage Well, I can explain that. He was testing things out. He was a kid back then. They don't have Bossards in the minors. haha!

Twins seems to have a lineup like Seattle. Have to say that Humber has a good opportunity here. DeVries...I always thought there was only one DeVry. They must have merge colleges or something. As for me, I am a DaVry booster. Tonite though could be DeVry night. Give DeVry stud(ent)s a discount..I mean make them pay more because DeVries is the enemy tonite. I like our lineup since it is 2012. If it was 2011, that lineup would suck. Crazy isn't it.

I believe that he played 3rd base in the minors. So it isn't completely foreign territory for him. Yes, it has been awhile but I think that he will fine at 3rd. I am not expecting him to be GG at 3rd, just hope that he can be average.

Looks like we have a 3rd baseman now. Of course, Morel could get healthy and starting hitting like he did last September. But until then we have a guy who can already field third and he will get better with more chances out there. And he should be able to hit at least .250 from the lower part of the lineup. Nice pickup from KW. Thank you SD for releasing him and paying him.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 23, 2012 -> 09:12 PM) No way, but I think he may be able to hit .320, which would be awesome. .320? Haha Da Captain can do better than that. He is like a fine wine.. Getting better with age. Lol

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 23, 2012 -> 09:02 PM) Kind of sort of makes up for yesterday. Whenever you can vote for All-Star game give Paulie lots of votes ! Never Forget ! Can King Kong hit .400 for the season? Sure, why not. This team is better than .500. C'mon for another long winning streak.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 23, 2012 -> 04:50 PM) AJ gets that rep all the time yet Flowers has publically said that AJ has been great. Some guys need to grow up and see the bigger picture sometimes. Wonder if Odawg is friends with Dye. He did speak out once that he couldn't believe that nobody want Dye on their team. But this was when Dye was done. He might have gotten a reserve role but he wanted to be a starter.

ODA probably hates the Twins as much as the Twins hate him. That has to be a +

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 23, 2012 -> 12:01 PM) no ODADADA reference? for shame Well if you insist. ODA was traded with Batista to Arizona from Toronto for Glaus and Sergio Santos. We wouldn't have Molina if it wasn't for ODA. Crazy , isn't it. Thanks ODA.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 23, 2012 -> 11:12 AM) Haha I heard there is a Diamond Sale going on tonite. Hope we sparkle. Lineup looks good with Odawg making his first start for us. We have a Tank followed by a Missile. Both made in CUBA,

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 23, 2012 -> 10:31 AM) I'm just happy to have an alternate option to "stuck with Brent Morel". I partially excuse Morel b/c he hasn't been playing healthy and never should have been batting 2nd. However, I think that now it is ODawg's job to lose. Guy is a Gold Glove winner, thus he should at least be average defensively at 3rd. If he can be an average hitter from the ninth spot, that will work. He might be a little crazy in a good way.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ May 22, 2012 -> 10:16 PM) He's played with Alex in Toronto and Dunn in AZ, he's a likable guy so I'm sure he's made other friends as well....From what I read hes a big time outdoorsman and I know guys like Danks and Peavy among others are also so I can see why he wants to come here. Alex Rios has friends? Just kidding. Oh wait maybe he was friends with Crain.

I appreciate ODA! Batting 1.000 and a run scored. Keep it up dawg! Maybe you will fit well here. You never know. Did you know that in 2005 ODA and Miguel Batista were trade by Toronto to Arizona for Troy Glaus and Sergio Santos!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 22, 2012 -> 08:09 PM) @AdamHogeCBS Orlando Hudson says other teams offered him more playing time but he's known Ken Williams for a long time and has many friends on #WhiteSox. Who does he know on the White Sox? How does he know Kenny so well. Did KW follow him around one offseason when he was a free agent ? Sounds to me that Odawg is a talkative guy. Probably a mix of Thome and Guillen. Guess Twins organization and media cannot handle that.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 22, 2012 -> 03:45 PM) I don't see why he can't just start tonight. Probably to let him settle in. Meet the manager, players, and staff. Maybe let RV watch him field some grounders at third. just take it slow and cautious. He might pinch hit or pitch run tonight. I wanted OH! on this team. Oh wait that was a few years ago. Maybe we can add Odawg to the Better Late Than Never White Sox collection. hmmm Griffey Jr. , Alomar Jr. (both of them), Everett, Vizquel, Thome, Manny, Erstsad, Fu-Ku-do-me Did we add Figgins to the collection yet? Where in the world is Soriano, Abreu?

Let get rolling and winning at home. C'mon love that home cooking. Looks like a winning lineup to me.

Good choice by ODA. #5 honors Profundo Uribe and the '05 White Sox. Keep up the good job odawg.

I hereby announce that I am not going to start a new appreciation thread for Orlando Hudson. Since I was so inspired by the pro-testers, I will "occupy" this thread as my appreciation thread for Orlando Hudson. And I have come up with my nickname for him. I will call him O-DAwg or ODA. Hopefully he complements DA DA very well. Okay just hope he hits better than Morel. And I recommend uniform number 0 for him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 18, 2012 -> 05:31 PM) Damn. He's just got to miss at least a week after getting beaned in the f***ing eye. Thanks, Cubs for the good sportsmanship. One of the all time greats in Chicago baseball history hit by a pitch in the face by a guy with a history this season of hitting batter(s) who homer off him. Hmmm. Suspension? Not sure if he has to miss a week. Hopefully he is okay and the tests confirm that he is fine. Right now slight laceration and swelling. If tests are good and swelling goes down, he should be back soon.

cuBS..we beat them. Let us beat them again tomorrow! C'mon we are better than them. We play in the mighty AL, they play in the wimpy NL and they even suck in the NL.

The good guy with the last name Reed strikes out the bad guy with the first name Reed And the good guy with the first name Addison saves the game at the bad ballpark which is on Addison Street

Pretty good numbers .291 ba .372 obp 25 runs How can you not like DA....DA? What else does he have to do. Slide better?

Gentleman Da...Da. Yes...Yes
