What did Rios do now?

Don't let the door hit you on the ass, you s***head.

If this is the real Mrs. Teahen, that was an incredibly classy post. While most Sox fans were very disappointed in Mark's performance on the field as a White Sox, he was a class act off the field. Too often the casual fan looks merely at the player's statistical performance and judges the man as such. I know I partially fall into this category and I don't want to deny this. But the fact of the matter is that Mark was a great presence off the field and a lot of players could emulate that. Mark seems to be a great human being and that is a lot more important than being a great baseball player. To Lauren (and Mark and Espy and Ribi), best of luck in the future. I know 99% of Soxtalk members wish you nothing but the best and feel terrible about what Oney the spoiled brat said. Keep doing what you're doing and enjoy Toronto and wherever life may take you.

Peavy still out there because.... yeah.

MORE FUNDAMENTALS

FUNDAMENTALS

lol dunn lol

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ozzie preaches fundamentals but his teams are terrible at them.

Bunting. Right. Ozzie is a dolt.

Ozzie just seems really confused. I know he's dumb as a gnat, but still.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 06:29 PM) And that is completely irrelevant. Ozzie wanted his loser kid in the clubhouse and got his way, the kid abused that access when he took to twitter and starting taking shots at players, this is hardly the first time this has happened and I'm sure it will not be the last. Ozzie allowing his classless, juvenile son in the clubhouse then taking absolutely no steps to rein him in when he started making trouble has turned into a fairly major, multi-season distraction for this club. That on top of all the other bulls*** on and off the field with Ozzie adds up to a fireable offense. I can't believe players want to come to this organization, the Guillen's have turned it into a classless operation. Whoa, I'm ODing on truth here.

Seems like a meh haul for the astros. Man, they are going to be some kind of awful for the next fifty games...

Down eight runs? Bring in matt! Unreal.

f*** ozzie for letting rios bat. Can't wait until ozzie leaves the organization.

Ozzie has no f***ing spine. PULL HIS LAZY ASS

Ubaldo apparently still warming up. This trade is not done.

With this lineup, this game is over.

Oi, don't know about this trade for cleveland...

Sigh, let me walk you through this so you can try to understand. Fister has a k/9 rate of 5.5 and has less hits than ip. A ton of the balls that are being put in play off of him are turning into outs. His xfip, which controls for park adjustments (safeco) and his abnormal babip, is 4. His era should be a lot higher than it already is. Fister produces a lot of ground balls and he is going to be penalized heavily considering he'll have a human sieve playing behind him at 3b. So please, dont look at his era and wins and losses and insinuate that I have no idea what I'm talking about. Fister is a lucky pitcher who is mediocre. He'll have a negligible impact for the tigers. Anyone with half a brain knows this is not an impact move.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 12:40 PM) Except Betemit already got a key hit to win a game against us this week. Inge is there, we probably sweep the Tigers and are possibly tied with them or 1 game back today. Im shaking in my boots over a 1 WAR player who can't field to save his life.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 12:29 PM) Tigers get Fister. He's a pretty good get for them. Yawn. Hes getting very lucky and has probably faced the vaunted athletics and angels lineups a few times. Fister and betemit are mediocre players who probably won't help much. Detroit still has a pedestrian rotation and a terrible pen.

QUOTE (shlammajamma @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 08:27 PM) quentin for harper I like how you think.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) If he's trying to drum up demand, that means the guy is available for the right price. KW will be the first to admit that anyone is available for the right place. KW realizes that there is a pretty healthy market for a RF and is kicking the tires to see if a guy like D. Brown is really available.
