Well, if Hawk doesn't like the deal, then I like it even more.

they aren't the only ones. the deal doesn't make much sense to me either

Nor I unless Griff can turn stay as hot as he is at the moment. 1 less crap bat (Swish, PK , BA, Wise) in the lineup I guess.

Now we are starting to see/hear more on Griffey. It is like the White Sox PR guys are telling them to pump up the trade.

Dewayne's real first name is Larry.

 

He's also 1-11 since the ASB.

 

 

Did Hawk basically just call Griff washed up?

 

Sure sounded that way to me...with his Jordan and Golden Bear comparisons.

what a dick.

Dirty 30 with a SB. The Griffey effect (see fukudome effect, both fabrications of flamer media)

great throw on that steal attempt. looked like he got swish

As was the Thome homer.

 

Was Swish out?

Swish was out (hell of a throw - bad call by the ump), but I like to see the activity from him. Maybe the trade will light a fire under him.

Bang-Bang. looked like the tag beat his foot to the base.

Interesting strike 3 call.

awful call on strike 3

If he is washed up what does that say about Konerko. Griffey has been better at the plate than Konerko each of the last two years. And the same goes for Swisher actually.

This ump sucks.

That's as adamant as I've ever heard DJ about a bad strike 3 call.

When your 39 and had a ton of injuries its possible you are washed up. When your 32 and 27 its called a bad year.

Worded that poorly for Swisher as I am not saying that Swisher is washed up. Just saying that if Griffey is washed up and is still out producing Konerko and Swisher they must really suck. Fact is that Griffey has been better than Swisher each of the last 2 years and he posted a .868 OPS last year. He shouldn't be an everyday CF but he has been hitting very well lately and with the way Konerko has been hitting Griffey is certainly a better option at the plate.

Who is going to hit better over the last 2 months of this season? This season right now. Konerko or Griffey. My opinion is Griffey.

 

Hawk sure sounds pissy tonight.

I heart Danksy.

That's a fact.

Also, all of those guys will play (with Anderson/Wise being the odd man out). 6 guys for 5 positions (OF, 1B, DH). If they played the entire year like that, each guy would get 135 starts. 135 starts. Whoever's playing well and hitting should be in the lineup.

I like this getting the leadoff guy on stuff.

I also heart CQ.
