Glad to see Dye and Rios sitting.

I believe ChiSox_Sonix gets to start the game thread today.

Feel free to delete it, it is pretty close to game time so I just created one. Sorry.

No worries, if he doesn't create one soon, we'll just use this one. Just trying to give him the chance.

 

Torres!!!!

 

I got a good feeling about the Torres today. Dumpster is going down.

Why is there an absolute refusal to even TRY carlos in right field? Yes he's been injured. Dye and Podsednik are permanently injured in the fielding-brain.

Good news for the Sox today: Derrek Lee is not playing for the Cubs today.

lol.. wise > dye/rios/kotsay . I think the only other team he might start on is a AAA team.

man, playing the cubs in september after playing yourself out of the playoff race makes you realize how unimportant these games are.

Ahhh glad to see this is going to be a give away game eh?

If Dye is hurt, play Kotsay or Rios. Wise is awful.

If you are going to play Wise, and I do not think they should. Put him in CF, Quentin in RF and Podsednik in LF...........ah forget it, Kotsay should be right over Wise....

 

This team really is making it hard to care.

 

I do not care how bad Dye and Rios are playing they should both be in over Wise. You have the pitcher hitting today though so Kotsay's bat could be more useful off the bench than Wise.

Dewayne Wise is angered by you. You will pay.

 

I hope you didn't make him too angry.

stop walking people torres and you might actually have a chance

JD is hitting .417 in 12 AB's against Dempster, Kotsay and Rios have never seen him and Wise is hitting .286 in 7 ABs.

AJP in the 3-hole is literally one of the worst moves I've ever seen Ozzie make. The guy does not drive in runs. He has 39 freakin RBI's with 13 HR. That is awful production. He may be one of our worst hitter with RISP, I know he hits about .239 with RISP at below a 700 OPS.

One of the worst? Come on, talk about hyperbole, even if you disgree with it. But I happen to like it.

 

AJ is one of the most consistent hitters on this team this year. Keep in mind the guy was hitting down the order before, with guys in front of him who are slow as hell, so his RBI number isn't a great indicator of anything. He's hitting 20 points higher than anyone else on the team, his .458 SLG is 3rd highest on the team behind Konerko and Dye - Dye is out and hitting for crap right now and Paulie makes AJ look like a track star. OBP is 3rd on the team. Contact rate is very good, he rarely strikes out. The move actually makes a whole lot of sense.

Ozzie and Coop keep saying we are contenders, but when you run guys like Wise and Torres out there, you know it's BS. Wake me up when Flowers or Hudson get some PT so I can at least get a preview of the future.

Ozzie continues to amaze. Rios is our future. Why is Wise getting any more starts?

Why is there an absolute refusal to even TRY carlos in right field? Yes he's been injured. Dye and Podsednik are permanently injured in the fielding-brain.

 

This isn't going to happen unless there is an emergency situation this year. You have got to imagine they want to give Carlos a spring training at least in RF since he hasn't played out there for two years now at least.

I was at the game that Torres started against the Indians in August and was impressed, hope he keeps it going.

If you can throw Makowiak out in CF where he doesn't belong then you can put Q in RF. We are over-exaggerating the transition from LF to RF.

Doesn't take much to impress you. Didn't he walk about 8 guys in 3 innings?

Come on...

 

AJ is one of the only guys on the team who is HITTING the ball.

 

Look at his splits the last two months:

- July: .356/.364/.506/.869

- August: .330/.374/.473/.846

 

And since no one else in the lineup is hitting squat, it makes perfect sense to have him third right now.
