OMFG baseball that matters.

 

*dies*

Opening Day...The only day where players are on pace for 648 hits, 324 homeruns, 486 RBIs and 324 SBs

And The Ultimate Warrior has left the building.....

 

What'd he do exactly beside being a fan of professional wrestling.....I guess that could be it.

 

 

It's about time!!!!!!!!! Go you White Sox!!!!!!!

I'm incredibly excited for this season to begin. I know this could end in tears, but we're going to compete this year, and i can't ask for much more.

Lets just say used to be Jim Hellwig, and he came back as Ultimate Warrior, and Vince McMahon told him to take a hike

Per InsideTheSox twitter, opening day lineup will be as follows:

 

1. Pierre - LF

2. Beckham - 2B

3. Quentin - RF

4. Konerko - 1B

5. Kotsay - DH

6. Rios - CF

7. Pierzynski - C

8. Teahen - 3B

9. Ramirez - SS

 

See, Kotsay's not batting 3rd. Why don't you step back from that ledge, my friend.

No offense, Scotty, but why not wait till a month into the season till we tell people not to jump to conclusions based on quotes from the mouth of the manager?

Man, I used to kinda like him as a poster but when will someone give up. Or maybe even a simple apology is all thats needed and he can come back on good terms...

I think if Ozzie was gonna ride Kotsay's hot hand and put him in the 3-hole, he'd do it right out of his blistering spring training. Maybe I'm wrong.

Wrestlers had a serious problem working with Ultimate Warrior in the ring. He was a roided freak who didnt pay any dues and was given fame right away. Then he'd get in the ring and do holds all wrong. A time or two he dropped people on their heads b/c he was doing the gorilla press wrong. Led to serious----real---injuries

This works both ways Bolt. You have been extremely loud about it for the better part of a month

lol. I wasnt talking about the real warrior, it was a metaphor for the poster.

Kotsay batting 5th is a joke, too.

There is nobody hitting behind him that is any better for the position than Kotsay. If anything it says something about the bottom of our lineup.

also, mostly i felt now was a good time for a 3rd eye blind quote.

Other than not being left-handed, there's no reason Rios shouldn't be hitting 5th. But you know Ozzie.

Meh, one was awful the last couple months of last season, one was decent. They were both really good this Spring. I don't think it matters to be honest.

Um, we got Mark Kotsay for Brian Anderson. That's all that has to be said. Mark did a decent job for us at the end of last year in a limited amount of at bats. That doesn't come close to overshadowing the fact he's been a bad player for most of the last 5 years. Like Jones, if Kotsay is used correctly, he can be an asset.

I didnt quote you on anything did I?

 

I am babbling freely. Perhaps like a UW promo...

It's never too soon to jump to conclusions.

Yeah...at this point, if he winds up in the 3 hole and the right guy is there to start the season...hopefully that means he's earned it. If he's hitting .330 in 2 weeks, I won't be that mad if he moves to the 3 hole, I promise.

I´m not gonna stop hoping for a power lefty come the trade deadline. I just wonder how long Kotsay can perform during a long season.

I said i didn't want Kotsay hitting high in the order, never said i wasn't a hypocrite. Seriously though, i agree that we've been having some pretty spirited debate on both sides. I just don't think it's time to rule anything out that Ozzie's over the last month, just becasue the first lineup of the year is not as crazy as we'd all thought it'd be.

Really? Not even after the last four years of Mark Kotsay being a below-average to ordinary hitter? When can we start forming conclusions? I can wait. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/kotsama01.shtml

Here is your post:

Maybe its just me, but I found it ironic and humorous that you ask him to wait to tell people not to jump to conclusions.
