Chalk it up to AJ sucking....Morel's bad luck and facing the best offense in the AL right now.

 

Humber will be okay. Probably will end up as more of a 3.75-4.25 ERA guy, but that's exactly what Hudson would be with us.

 

Hudson dwarfs Humber. Not to mention Humber is 5 years older.

I wonder if a Mariners-esque losing streak would cost Ozzie his job. That'd be so worth it.

 

I hate Ozzie more than Dunn, Rios, Kenny Williams, Nick Punto, Ichiro, Bud Selig, Mark McGwire, steroids, people who hog weights at the gym, slow drivers, communists, porn music, the French, Ivy League graduates, draft dodgers, the ATF and Bostonians.

 

That's a lot of hate.

 

 

What about David Koresh and that guy who killed all the students in Norway?

 

Can you really hate Cornell graduates?

I hate defending KW. But I don't think he believes that anymore. Knives won't suffice during a shootout. KW likes to think he has all these cards to play. He just doesn't. Notice you never hear about potential prospects by name from our system in any trade rumors? Because there's nobody to name.

 

Well except Viciedo. Only name I've seen. (unless you want to still count Sale)

I got some heineken, I need it for this team

 

Well except Viciedo. Only name I've seen. (unless you want to still count Sale)

 

And Addison Reed.

Goodness, we've swung at so many pitches out of the zone tonight.

Give me some of what you are smokin' on.

 

I wish.

 

Would you settle for Nova, Betances, and Romine?

 

I mean, don't the Yankees need to make a deal for a starter? That playoff rotation looks like s***.

And Addison Reed.

The fact that the 2nd name you mention is a reliever does say a lot.

He is the one guy I wish the sox would think outside the box and sell high on. I am still not sold on him having this kind of success in the future.

Hudson dwarfs Humber. Not to mention Humber is 5 years older.

 

 

Hard to argue that when Humber STILL has an ERA nearly a run lower in the AL.

 

We'll see. Usually, long-term, the White Sox aren't wrong about pitching prospects. So far, they seem to be on Gio and Hudson. 2-3 years from now, we'll have a much better assessment.

 

 

Is Viciedo even a top 50 prospect?

Cornell's not a real Ivy League.

 

And man, if we're gonna get serious about all the things that grind my gears, we'll be here all night.

Is Viciedo even a top 50 prospect?

He would be if he qualified. He'd probably be top 20 if he qualified next year. Too much service time already for anyone's list.

Thanks for showing up Alex. Now back to your bench, please.

Holy hell is Rios pathetic. Still can't believe how much of a coward Ozzie is.

He's not viewed in the same light outside of the White Sox organization/fans.

A lot of teams would definitely ask for Mitchell or Thompson as the 3rd/4th guy in any trade.

 

 

Lester absolutely dominant tonight, anyway.

 

Let's just hope this means the end of Alex Rios in the line-up. If Ozzie plays him two more games in a row against Miller and Sabathia, he deserves to be fired. Or leaves Dunn in the middle of the line-up. Just those two issues alone are enough.

Shocker.

I wish.

Probably, yeah.

Humber has a lower ERA than Felix. Humber's mediocre peripherals and absurdly low BABIP were bound to bring him back to earth. I'm not hating on the guy. s***, we'd be 10 games out if not for his first-half. But I never thought he was the real deal.

Every MLB GM knows he can hit. It's the lack of a position that mitigates his eventual value...since he couldn't stick at 3B.

 

He would have to be #20-40 as a prospect now, were he eligible.

His stuff is completely legit. He just can't hold it long. It's the 29 year old who threw max 140 innings a year problem.

Rios needs to stand the f*** up.. that squat takes all his power away....either way would love to see his ass go somewhere else but noone else will be as stupid as KW was on that one.... should have let Detroit claim him

With the improved BB rate this year, top 20. He's one of the better bats in the minors anywhere not named, you know, Harper.

We've had a very good infield defense all season long. You expect they'll field a lot of grounders, as long as the balls aren't getting hit into the outfield or over the fence.

 

He's definitely not James Baldwin 2000 or Danny Wright.

 

He's just not an ace. A respectable 3rd or possibly 4th starter (depending on the team), sure.
