Balta1701 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 28, 2010 -> 01:06 PM) .278/.327/.390/.717 is bad, especially for a first baseman. His wOBA was only 0.008 points higher than Omar Vizquel's. He did put up at .789 OPS or so with the Sox and a 101 OPS+, so he wasn't "Bad" with us, he was at least average.

I'm not just going to ignore 79 PA because he wasn't in a White Sox uniform, they still count and put his numbers much more in line with what he's done over the past 5 years, his hot streak with the Sox certainly feels like him correcting his numbers to get his OPS back into the low .700's for the year where he seems to belong.

gatnom Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 28, 2010 -> 11:55 AM) Omar Vizquel will start at DH at least 10 times. Â Twice as bold as my prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 The Twins have a horrible April, and the team holds an emergency press conference stating that they were not aware of "wind" and "cold" in Minnesota. Â The Pirates fold after going 1-22 in their first 23 ganes. Bud Selig allows them to become a farm team for the Yankees and Red Sox. Â All areas of the country outside of the Northeast get sick and tired of seeing the Yankees and Red Sox on ESPN 100 times a year and demand that something be changed.

LVSoxFan Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) My predictions for 2010:  -At some point the song "Let's Go Go-Go White Sox" will come on and I will wonder--again: "Really, since 1959 we can't come up with a better tune than this?"  -"The catch" and that game will be the new additions to the opening film montage of highlights. Hey, remember Opening Day 2008 when there was nothing to put on it? Oh wait: except Buehrle's no-hitter.  -The first losing streak we have people will say "SEE, I TOLD YOU! OZZIE'S PLAN SUCKS!"  -The first winning streak we have people will say "SEE, I TOLD YOU! OZZIE WAS RIGHT!"  -Question: if Ozzie's small-ball lineup that KW didn't want succeeds--will KW acknowledge Ozzie was right?  -Becks will still have the Outfield song as his at-bat theme, and once again you'll scratch your head like WTF but then acknowledge that the song rocks. In a Hot Tub Time Machine kind of way.  -Here's a prediction you can steal to take money off your friends. When they do the "dance off" on top of the dugouts between innings, the fat guy always wins. Bet on it. If there's no fat guy, then it's up for grabs. But if there is a fat guy, he will win. I guarantee it.  -Cubs/Sox will go back to its rightful place of being a binge drinking weekend, after inexplicably being moved to weekdays last season (?!?!)  -At least 10 times Hawkeroo will squeal "STRETCH! STRETCH!" on-air only to watch the left fielder haul in the ball at least 10 yards before the warning track  -Somebody will get trampled to death in the RF stands after the wild scrum for one of those crappy t-shirts. Maybe if people saw what they looked like beforehand, they would just land with a plunk in the stands as everybody ignores them  -At least one woman caught on "Kiss Cam" will attempt to pull her shirt up, causing the camera operator to give us all whiplash as he swiiiiings away  -I'll realize, like I do every year, that as much as I hate the Cubs and their fans, I hate the Twins more.  -They'll have those inexplicable medical videos on the Jumobtron that let us know things like: it's bad to keep running if your knees hurt. No sh*t REALLY?  -It'll be about a month before a "Why Did We Take Back Freddy Garcia?" thread is started  -The first game Ozzie gets tossed from he will tweet about it obscenely afterward. MLB will not be happy, but it'll be front page news here.  -Beer will cost another 50 cents more  Hmmm I think that's everything Edited March 29, 2010 by LVSoxFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
