for all the HEAT Farmer is taking now, he's a joy to listen to when you're boozing under the sun by the pool in the summertime when the Sox are winning. If you're not listening to Farmer under those circumstances, then yes he sucks.

Bases loaded. 2 out. Dye up.

Simple Prediction: K

Come on Dye

I have trouble finding any team with 4 slower players than Thome, Dye, AJ, and Konerko.

 

This team is a sabermetric nightmare:

A. Too slow

B. Too many strikeouts

C. Too few walks

D. Naive GM who refuses to recognize A, B and C

Bases loaded. Cmon JD.

come on sox........

Simple Prediction: K

 

 

C'mon, no love for the weak grounder?

Get it done here JD.

without Granderson, detroit looks pretty slow.

 

It's amazing how much the Chicagoan means to the Detroit Tigers. Without "Grandy" the Tigs seem to suck it up hardcore.

actually really only C is a sabermetric nightmate

a slam puts us within one.

 

or so Ed farmer said in his email.

Lol. +1

Yes. And no team will make a good offer for 1/2 year of OC.

I could imagine a scenario where a team would do it if they were desperate. Something similar to the situation the Brewers were in when they traded for Linebrink last year. Your SS goes down and you're in a playoff hunt, you don't have a rookie ready, etc. I mean, say Jose Reyes went down for the Mets. Other than giving up that #1 guy they wouldn't give up for Johan, would you sacrifice a shot at the playoffs with Johan in your rotation in exchange for 3 decent prospects?

Yeah good thing we scouted him while he was in our own backyard

When have the sabermetrics people seriously looked at speed as a big advantage? And aren't guys like Thome and Swisher, big strikeout guys, also ideal guys for that style of ball?>

or if the cubs realize that cedeno and theriot suck

3 and 2, 2 outs, bases loaded

On another none, where is our Fausto Carmona? And where was Fausto Carmona when the Indians needed him to close out the ALCS?

Haha

 

Our Fausto Carmona is in the Dominican Republic being scouted by other teams. Who needs a 16-1 G:F ratio, anyways?

A walk here would be nice.

SONOFAb****!

Anybody have numbers on this team with RISP this season?

That sucks man

What a horrific inning of plate discipline. Just a shameful at bat for Dye.

Simple Prediction: K

 

Well done.

well thats kool
