August 6, 201114 yr I wouldn't be outraged by that of. Just by sheer luck it'll probably outproduce this years of.
August 7, 201114 yr Today's lineup: Pierre, Ramirez, Konerko DH, Quentin, Rios, Lillibridge 1B, Beckham, Flowers, Morel I don't think the Sox are in it, but hasn't De Aza done enough to get playing time? I mean, Pierre isn't going to be here in 2012...play de Aza and see what he can do, especially against a mediocre lefty. Stupid Ozzie. Edited August 7, 201114 yr by flavum

August 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 11:55 AM) Pierre isn't the guy you sit. He's not hurting this team. Not really the point. They have to find out what De Aza can do against lefty pitching. Unless they just don't think he's in the plans for 2012 at all, which could be the case.

August 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) He got a hit against a lefty reliever the other day and his Charlotte numbers were good against lefties. He'll be a platoon player as long as Ozzie is the manager.

Regardless of how you feel, they are still trying to win the division.. sitting Pierre makes no sense at all right now..
August 8, 201114 yr What is this team? Sweep Boston in Boston but lose 2 of 3 at home. Split with the Yankees in NY but get swept at home. Then go into Minnesota and sweep the Twins? Aside from seemingly playing better away, I don't know what to think. This weekend has gotten me a little more excited about White Sox baseball, but we've seen this before. Get close to or to .500 then lose 3 in a row. Getting over .500 will make me feel better.
August 8, 201114 yr I want to make a never give up post but they have brought me up only to knock me down so much this season I am kinda shell shocked. The little kid fun fan in me thinks they still have achance but the adult student of mlb doesn't agree. No matter how you slice it though wins are better than loses. Sweeping Baltimore would be a lot of fun. GO SOX!!
August 8, 201114 yr Rios hit this series and if he can keep it up and Dunn can ever do anything positive over a period of time we can still make the push. Win in Baltimore and we can show the Tigers and Indians we ain't chumps
August 8, 201114 yr Impressive sweep over the Twins. We are better than the Twins this season. Glad that we finally just went out there and showed everybody that. Stewart looks like a sweet move. He is a gamer. That Colby kid might just be a headache. lol!
August 8, 201114 yr Dunn batting 7th tonight. Finally being moved down in the order. PK at DH so no De Aza again
August 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 09:00 PM) Dunn batting 7th tonight. Finally being moved down in the order. PK at DH so no De Aza again Rios seems to be coming out of it, Pierre is the LF'er of choice and Quentin is hitting. De Aza play but I don't think this idea of having to se him agaist lefties, etc, makes any sense. We are still trying to win ball games not look at next years tlent. He can come in and play later in a game like he did yesterday and when we need to make some defensive moves. This is not an issue IMO.

Adam Dunn is 3 for infinity against lefties and there was nothing wrong with De Aza's numbers against lefites in Charlotte (.750 OPS) so I don't know why people keep saying this

Win in Baltimore and we can show the Tigers and Indians we ain't chumps Wake me up when we get over.500. Tonight's game will be interesting. If these are the same ol Sox, they are due for a major flop tonight after winning three in a row.
August 8, 201114 yr Somehow the Sox are going to try to bounce between a 6 and 4 man rotation this weekend.
August 9, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 05:43 PM) Somehow the Sox are going to try to bounce between a 6 and 4 man rotation this weekend. How bad is Pk's leg. He's having real problems running the bases.
August 9, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (forrestg @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 07:20 AM) How bad is Pk's leg. He's having real problems running the bases. Its bad, but it sure hasn't stopped him from hitting.
August 9, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 08:58 AM) Its bad, but it sure hasn't stopped him from hitting. Adam Dunn and Brent Lillibridge are going to be our 1b's for the near future.
August 9, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 08:25 AM) Adam Dunn and Brent Lillibridge are going to be our 1b's for the near future. I think that is pretty obvious as well. the way he is running, I wouldn't be surprised to see some time off.

If the team wasn't on its last legs as well, I'd agree. I think they'll keep running him out there until his leg falls off if he's hitting. 3 offdays in the next 11 will help also.

Even for Konerko, he isn't running anywhere right now.
August 9, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 08:25 AM) Adam Dunn and Brent Lillibridge are going to be our 1b's for the near future. One has a SLG% of over .500, the other one is just over .300. I'll let you guess which player has the higher one. Probably the same player you would have guessed in March.
