How much confidence do you have in Edwin Jackson holding that lead?

 

Actually...can't believe it, but Edwin Jackson's still "only" 29. It seems like he has been around forever...well...because he has.

 

This Mets offense is pretty awful.

That's quite the black hole after Wright with Ike Davis & Lucas Duda.

Sox will get their chance very soon to try and do some damage off of Cy Wood and Cy Feldman. Wood is having an incredible season.

Wood has pitched very well suprised me so far.

The starting pitchers for the Cubs might have substantially more RBIs this month than Konerko does

He's got a K/BB around 2.5, and an incredibly low BABIP.

 

He's having a very good year, but his ERA is misleading. xFIP has him in the mid 4's.

Oh yeah, he's going to come crashing back hard. He's still having a pretty crazy season and he's a good pitcher. Just not low 2's ERA good.

 

Yep. Read the description.

lol. You can't hide in 2013. I guarantee you that dude's name, life, personal info, etc gets out and he's gonna be embarrassed as f***.

That s*** happened last season. Guy got found, called out, ended up doing a live chat with Deadspin, where it turned out he was an uninteresting loser.

I see. But yeah. You definitely got to be careful out in public now. I don't even drink at bars anymore (I act a fool when I'm drunk) because dumbasses are takin' pics or recording with their phones and uploading it to youtube.

Understood. When you are the love of Snooki's life, everybody is trying to shoot you down in public.

You know that your rebuilding process is in full swing when Ryan Sweeney is hitting in the cleanup spot.

Dick Allen, I guess samardzija is back to being hot garbage again...

We will see how it all turns out. He shut down the White Sox. He was great last night, but a lot of pitchers have shut down the White Sox. It takes a little longer to really be considered what you consider him.

It was interesting. They were showing the stats Sox vs Cubs on the season. The Cubs were right around the Sox in all the interesting categories (average, ops, runs score, homers, era, etc). The only difference is that the White Sox are in a s*** division.

 

The Cubs have a better offense despite the fact that they have pitchers hitting.

 

Yet people on this board are making fun of them - at least they're in a rebuild. The White Sox have no youth other than Chris Sale worth getting excited about at all.

He's done more than shut down the Sox. Stats last year pretty good, stats this year pretty good. I consider him not "hot garbage." I guess it depends on your definition, but I don't really think it's an argument.

I think the whole thing started when everyone was singing his praises last year, I mentioned I would trade him because up until last season, he pretty much was hot garbage. In fact, after I mentioned it, he did struggle a bit. Now some media is comparing him to Verlander. If other MLB teams think that, I still think the Cubs should trade him. Of course I may be a little biased as I hate the Cubs and hate ND.

Well, we have one of the leaders for the ROY award at the hot corner....

The only time I've known Dick Allen to be wrong is when he writes in specifics.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 28, 2013 -> 12:26 PM)

So is he considered over the hill by this time? He's a rookie and a very good one.

 

Viciedo is still young as well, unless 24 is also too old.

Is that why you refuse to write in specifics? You may want to go back and look at what he is referring to anyway.
