Just get on base in front of CQ, he'll do the rest.

I love watching CQ bat.

Oh, how was that not called a strike?

if there is ever a year to go over slot...this is the year as we dont have a 2nd rounder, so why not use the extra money to throw it at a guy like pedro

I hope they do. It infuriates me to think about slot recommendations with the state of our farm system.

 

I just won't be as upset this year as last season because I know there's still a quality player available.

 

Also, who knows whether we'll be going overslot in the latter rounds (which is several hundred thousand instead of several million)

I'm willing to insult our organization much as the next person for their issues with drafting and developing even average players, but there's no way they overdraft that much.

 

Even if we pass on Alvarez (which I'll be upset with), it won't be the difference in talent that, say, Rick Porcello to Aaron Poreda provided. It'll instead be the difference of Wallace/Beckham/Smoak/whomever else around that slot and Alvarez.

Speaking of 3rd round prospects, it looks like Danks could very well be there, so I'd expect him to be the pick if he was there, even if Boras is his client.

nice ab by paulie there...lets go jim

Thome gave it ride but came up short.

That was fairly close by Thome...pretty crappy announcing and camera work.

Good to see the bats firing early.

from a monetary prospective, he probably should have taken the money we threw at him before he went to texas....i think we offered a 1 mil, but he didnt bite...dont think hell get that offer this year

 

although the degree is probably worth 1 mil over the long run

Two very long fly outs....guys are laying off the slider and hitting the fastball.

Carlos Quentin is to the 2008 Chicago White Sox offense as Estaban Loiza was to the 2003 Chicago White Sox pitching staff.

looks like our guys are making a pretty good effort to go the other way

If other teams did something drastic, such as walk Quentin every AB -- even with the bases loaded -- we'd be screwed.

 

I'd like to see teams do that, some day. Just avoid players all together if he seems to be one of the few productive hitters in a lineup.

What's the Wolf say in Pulp Fiction?...."Well...let's not go @#$% each other's @#$% quite yet...."

Saw the same thing a few days ago too....

greinke and floyd remind me alot of each other ...greinke throws harder though

with more accuracy.

Babe Ruth comes through again for us. Looks like next time we'll score is when #20 comes up again.

are we gonna hear the johnny bench, pudge rodriguez, miguel olivo throwing arm topic from hawk tonight?

Better yet- over/under? How many Catfish references from Hawk tonight?

 

With the .200 mark being reach, what will Swisher's next goal be? .190 batting average here we come. The guy is an automatic out.

About as many as Yaz will get.

Great base running by Ramirez....get the runner in! No more of this stranding a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs.

Alexei hits bullets.

Nice woodwork there OC.
