I totally called that one in the chat too

 

Awesome job by Q, he basically is our offense.

Don't most ESPN Sunday night games go well over 4 hours? This one lasted about 2 hours.

with our hitting and pitching weve played some ridiculously fast games over the last week

CARLOS f***ING QUENTIN!!!!!!!!

 

Oh what a stud.

 

Great game by Jose also.

A funny note was they kept flashing the stat that the Angels had not played a game in extra innings this season all through the top of the 9th. CQ made sure that continued.

Is Linebrink's fastball really hitting 94 right now?

His changeup to strike out Matthews was just awesome. 83 mph and right at the knees. He has three above average pitches now. Definitely not the Linebrink I expected when Williams signed him.

Oh man, I'm so pumped from that game! CQ and Jose were just phenomenal.

Let's bump the "White Sox sign Scott Linebrink" thread and see who didn't like the deal.

CARLOS FUCKING QUENTIN!!!

 

 

Sorry, I had to do it.

It's a little early to be calling people out for that one. He's only 1/12 of the way into his 4 year deal. One thing's for sure though; his stuff is much much much better this season than it was last year with Milwaukee and San Diego.

I'll tell you one thing, I absolutely hated it. He's definitely proving me wrong so far though, he's looked really good this year.

better yet, lets bump all the CQ threads and see who didnt like it...or all the threads that wanted Jerry owens starting instead

 

i will admit i probably didnt like the linebrink deal too much, mainly cuz the # of years....4 years is still alot...though i knew at the time it addressed a need

better yet, lets bump all the CQ threads and see who didnt like it...

 

People actually complained about the CQ deal? We gave up a AA catcher who may never see the majors.

"The Chicago White Sox added depth to their inexperienced outfield Monday, acquiring Carlos Quentin from the Arizona Diamondbacks for minor league first baseman Chris Carter."

Technically speaking, the Sox gave up there best power hitting prospect (personally speaking, Carter is a better power prospect than Fields, albeit more raw). The Dbacks than packaged Carter in a deal with the A's which landed Haren and Carter is amongst the minor league leaders in HR's.

 

I just want to point this out. I'd make the deal 1000 out of 1000 times though and thats because while Carter is a very good prospect he was still a few years from the majors and Quentin was an all star type prospect who was ready to contribute now and filled a position of greater need (OF compared to 1B, where Carter will inevitably be stuck at).

well we gave up Carter, who was a A ball 1b...and at the time was our position player prospect....not sure that anyone complained about it too much, but there were plenty of people who wanted quentin to have no part of the roster and wanted owens to start because he is fast

Most of those people were on Ozzie's coaching staff and not Soxtalk. In fact, I remember most everyone being downright excited over the Quentin acquisition, much like most of Soxtalk was exstatic over a minor acquisition made by Kenny before the start of the 05 season (Bobby Jenks being claimed off waivers).

Um, it's not even 2 months into that 48 month deal. The main reason a hell of a lot of people hated it was the length.

To be fair, I think a lot of people wanted Carlos and Owens platooning. And BA down.

 

 

Had that situation happened, it still wouldve given CQ an opportunity to show what he can do and turn JO into a replacement for, well, other guys.

Sox talk always seems generally excited over 2 things, young power pitchers and young power hitters. When we got Aardsma, Sisco and whoever else KW got for the 06 pen this place was loving it. I remember making a post about experience and the wildness of unproven youth and was pretty much flamed. Gotta love CQ though. He seems like the real deal.

Remember, while those guys didn't end up panning out and throwing strikes, the big flaw with last years Sox (along with the pen) had to do with the veteran hitters that couldn't do anything worth a damn. Heck, even this year, the biggest problem with the club has to do with its veteran players. The young guys (Danks/Floyd/Quentin/Ramirez (as of late) have all done a great job.

Coop fixed him .

Quentin is amazing.

You watch his home run and the replay of his home run and he makes it look easy.

Watching Thome, Crede, AJP, Swisher and BA, you realize it's not easy.

Three guys in our lineup got hits tonight and we won.

Thanks to the pitching and the Amazing Quentin.

I just can't believe how he attacks the ball and pops it over the fence and our proven sluggers continue to make weak outs.

GO SOX!
