Funny, before today I thought Inge was pretty solid defensively and one of the real rocks on the team ... but what the hell do I know?

Does Piniella realize that Thorton is 29 years old?

His athletic ability.

 

i guess they must have been talking about him on TV. i remember hawk talking about him being able to drive a golf ball 400yds. that's insane.

Good thing he used two hands. That ball almost popped out.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 12:22 PM)
Yep, his stuff is very impressive. We just need him to stay healthy.

Hopefully, that's up to Cooper now. Mechanics, mechanics, mechanics. Do have to note that Cooper's pitchers seem to have a pretty decent record of staying healthy over the last few years, except for the guys who are already injured when he gets them (El Duque, Hermanson).

He can dunk a basketball, and he kicked a 50 yard field goal at Ford Field.

Everytime a fly ball goes that way I cringe.

THIS is why Kenny Williams did a damn fine job dealing this year.

But he cant hit for average, and is bascially Rob Deer with some speed over at 3rd.

It's Jenks time!

great job so far taking advantage of extra opportunities, let's get an insurance run

While I agree with this, some guys just put to much torque/stress on their elbow and shoulder. It will be interesting to see how he pitches for us. I wouldn't mind if we only use him once a series.

Wow, our pen is sick.

The potential for sickness is there, they just need to be more consistent. Neal Cotts needs to get better and so does Riske, but stuff wise there is no better back-end of a bullpen.

Thus far I think this is what Kenny is hoping we can do a lot more often with our pen. Of course we still need Big Bad Bobby to come in and do his thing for an inning.

MLB.com claims Sandy squeezed in our fourth run.

If healthy and productive these guys (Thorty, Mac, Jenksy) can be the Nasty Boys Version Deux and than some.

I never said his baseball stuff was impressive. :P He's a solid player though.

How about pintch hitting AJ for Pods here and Mack taking over in the field?

As I recall, Rob Deer used to kill the White Sox. But then again, a lot of hitters killed the White Sox in the late 80's

KW put a lot of thought and work into constructing that pen. That's what pisses me off the most when Oz sticks with his starters too long; what's the point of KW crafting that pen if Oz refuses to use it.

 

Hopefully today is a sign that Oz finally understands that it's alright to the turn the ball over to the pen before your SP gets in any trouble.

And of course, you can only do what we're trying to do with our pen if you get good starting pitching.
