Thanks guys.

I'm supposed to go to the game tomorrow night, but apparently the weather doesn't want me to see a good Sox game this year. My first game was postponed due to rain against Baltimore, my second was a near-2 hour rain delay again Minnesota (and then Buerhle got hit around a bunch), and now its supposed to storm tomorrow night.

Eh, for Friday night's game, they are saying "scattered" thunderstorms. Typical summer night type weather, it will be hit and miss. Even if it does storm, it won't last long, probably.

 

I'l be going to that game as well.

 

Both The Sporting News and Sports Illustrated this week feature an article on KW acquiring Quentin.

Yeah, we appear to be firmly entrenched in Chicago summer now, hot and humid and hazy. The weather almost becomes irrelevant at this point (it was supposed to POUR Tuesday and Wednesday and both games were played without delay or incident), just realize it's going to be warm and it might rain at some point, but it'll probably clear up eventually. Not going to see much more "rain out" type rain this season.

I saw some idiot throw a home run back the other night. The good news is a lot of people told the ushers of this nonsense, and he was thrown out.

 

DO YOUR PART!! If you see some assclown throw a home run by the other team back, find an usher and identify the assclown. We don't want losers who throw home run balls back instead of giving it to a kid. The Cell isn't Wrigley, so don't throw s*** on field, especially baseballs.

That would actually be a good marketing ploy...advertise how Sox fans can separate themselves from Cubs fans by letting the game continue to play and helping out a little kid too.

3 reasons to be extremely optimistic about the offense

 

BABIPs Thome: .238 Konekro: .219 Swisher: .243

 

they should get better for sure

 

also, all have a great BB rate...thome and swisher always do, but konerko is on pace for the best in his career

could someone explain exactly what BABIP is?

wikipedia rawks ur bawd

It also helps to mention average BABIP is usually around 290-300

Joe Crede on Wikipedia

 

Joseph "Joe" Crede (born April 26, 1978 in Jefferson City, Missouri) is an American Major League Baseball player who is currently the starting third baseman for the Chicago White Sox. Crede is best known for displaying the fire and the passion.

Pretty sure its batting average of balls hit in play.

Correct, and when you consider the fact that Swish, Konerko, and Thome can still hit the ball hard, their BABIP's all are due to go up quite a bit. Hopefully this process of the offense reverting to what it really should be has started here this week, because we've looked good.

There is a season ticket holder that it always on TV when there is a left handed hitter at the plate.He looks just like ,Matt Roloff,of Little People Big World tv show.But the regular size version.

I'm just sayin.

 

I rode that horse all the way to the finish line. I started sometime last year and I still beat Big Brown to the finish line at the Belmont.

No one is happier for Floyd than me. You can bookmark that and paste it in a year, too.

So I'm suppose to go the game tomorrow, weird thing Sox website still has Contreras pitching?

 

I'm pretty sure it's Danks?

 

Weather looks bad, severe thunderstorms do you guys think the game will take place?

You're going to get the weather we just had in Kansas.

Incredible sheets of rain with hail.

Good luck getting the game in.

A white sox comedy bit.

NY Times rates ballparks' food and says what to get and what to avoid.

For the Cell, they say "avoid: everything"

 

I thought the park was known for having good food/ concessions?

If you read the comments, the author is called out to a degree.

I've been to a few ballparks. The Cell's food is better than most, in my experience. To say that its all bad at the Cell is a joke.

 

For starters, both Wrigley Field and U.S. Cellular Field serve Best Kosher hot dogs, vastly inferior to the meatier Vienna Beef brand that the city’s best hot dog vendors serve. But even worse was the Mexican-style corn sold at a pastel yellow stand decorated with a manic-looking anthropomorphized corncob at U.S. Cellular. The corn, scraped from the cob, was mushy, overcooked and seasoned with a mixture of chili, mayonnaise and imitation lime juice that made the dish taste like furniture polish.

 

Goes to Chicago and orders corn. OK.

And doesn't like Best Kosher? First, I think Best Kosher is better, second, can't you get Vienna at the Cell?

Can anyone verify this. Up until recently, Quentin was setup right on home plate. About a week or so ago they moved him back a bit from the plate.
