Call me crazy. That dont look good.

were in big trouble

possibly RIP 2008 white sox

 

earlier in the game thread i had hoped for more Wise at bats, now i'm feeling pretty silly b/c it's gonna happen but it's not good.

I thought Wise did very well earlier this year.

It was definitely the inside of his right knee. Where's ptatc to tell us about what ligament that is?

Anderson LF platoon with Wise probably.

 

Swisher 1B.

thank god at least for that griffey trade...this is where our lack of organizational depth just destroys us

Anderson LF platoon with Wise probably.

 

I thought Wise in LF was bad tonight, but if he puts Anderson in LF with Griff in CF... then it is pretty much assured that they promised CF to Griffey to get him to waive the no trade.

Jerry Owens everyday starter and leadoff man would be quite the Sarah Palin type move.

 

Then AJ can take Konerko's spot as a run producer, and OC can be what he shouldve been from the start, a 2 hitter

 

 

EDIT: and i realize all of that is pretty stupid this late in the year, but the other way of looking at it is we are nowhere near a WS lineup w/o Quentin and Paulie, whereas a quick reinvention of the team w/ small ball focus might be the only way to make some strides forward at this point. Owens would have to repeat his September from last year.

at this point im frankly planning on PK not being with the team the rest of the year....we are gonna have to pitch our way back in to this....and frankly i think we need to go to a 4 man rotation the rest of the way....i see no way we can start broadway/poreda on saturday

If Paully's out long term - and I agree it looks awfully bad - we really ought to try Griffey at 1B, Swish in LF, and some combination of Anderson/Owens/Wise in CF. I'd also be down with playing Fields at 1B every day for a week or two to see if he can nail down the job.

has Poreda been mentioned in any context for being up here soon? that would start his arb clock

Swish at 1st, Grif in left?

Ozzie for all his eccentricities tends to be conservative lineup wise... so we'll likely see no experimenting w/ positions, and no Fields. Although I agree that investigating some different uses for Fields this year, considering his age, might have been helpful. As a righty option for DHing early in the year, even.

His Arb clock isn't an issue, anyone who says otherwise is either full of s*** or knows nothing about the process.

Agreed. I'd like to see him up here.

Well, it was a good run, but I don't see any way we do this without Paulie AND CQ... Game over.

Sad to say that you can't rely on one player to carry this team. It was as if Carlos Quentin was on a "one man mission" to lead this team past September and into the sweet sense of October baseball.

It's such a deflating feeling to have injury take down a team you live and die by. In 2000 we felt it with pitching injuries affecting our chances... but even then it was more satisfying to go down swinging w/ your stars still going strong. Here our main guys are dropping like flies.

 

It's part of my big problem with the NFL - which would otherwise be my #1 sport if not for the annoying fact that injuries rule the day.

I dont purport to know a lot on the topic, but isnt it basically true that a player's arb clock starts the moment they're put on their first in season major league roster?

A four man rotation would potentially kill Danks and maybe Floyd.

I agree. There's no sense in doing that. This team's chances at winning anything meaningful went out the window with Quentin's injury. Even with Konerko, this would be a horrible idea.

Yea, i echo the above posts. There are bigger problems right now than Clayton's starts.

Mild strain of the MCL (medial collateral ligament) for Konerko is initial report.

"Mild Strain of ACL" "X-rays Negative" -- That may be the only good news on this very s***ty day.
