QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 11:39 AM) My guess is with the real estate markets slowing, the developers are in no hurry to put money out there, especially since property values will probably go down a bit more between now and than. Well, you'd be quite wrong in that regard. Parts of the South Side, especially in Bridgeport, are going to boom within the next ten years.

Zobrist, Paul, Baldelli coming up. AJ shouldn't call for one damn offspeed pitch to Zobrist and Paul.

Someone out of Thornton/MacDougal/Jenks better be coming in.

Someone needs to break Pods' knees. He's worthless.

Good job, BA, too bad it won't mean s***.

Runner in scoring position, Podsednik up after BA. Ohgodohgodohgodohgod.

Gutsy performance, Jon. You deserve the W, but I think Podsednik has it shoved up his ass.

When did Tony Graffanino become the Rays' 2B?

hahaha, go eat a bag of dicks, Scott. Jesus Christ you suck.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) I would even be willing to tolerate a suicide squeeze here from Podsednik. He can't bunt to save his life. I'm just hoping he slaps a lazy fly ball into left center for a sac fly.

To ease the tension, I saw this gem via ESPN: Pitching: Crain (MIN) 0.2 IP, 2 ER, 5 K Impressive...if only it was true.

IBB to Zobrist? I don't care if he's a switch-hitter, he's hitting .225. Get your head out of your ass, Ozzie.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) Big spot for Pods to have a good AB. Hahaha, good one, fathom.

Come on, there's also a reason why Perez has given up seven earned runs in fifty-two appearances. At the very, very least, he warrants a position over two bums who have OPSes of .600.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) Ozzie can pull Freddy now, he's completely lost his focus after the Sox went up 7 - 0. Can't afford to lose this game cuz Freddy feels like pitching half-assed Hey, shutup, he's a big game pitcher.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 03:57 PM) IIRC, somebody at SouthSideSox (Bull Pain) has seen Sweeney CF multiple times. I think I remember him saying that he's pretty much an average defensive CFer; not Mackowiak bad, but nothing to write home about either. He's a good RF, though, and he has a very good arm.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 10:47 AM) You guys can bash all you want but the guys you are arguing in don't have pretty resumes either. Whether it be Perez being a middle reliever who was 23 and in A ball when we made the list to Rice, also a middle reliever in A ball, the guys you 'demand' to be on the list are far from hot s***. Rice can't find the strike zone, although he'd probably be in a top 30 list (truth be told, Gage would be on the top 30 as well). But bashing Perez is laughable, especially when stud prospects like Tom "I'm actually Rob Stratton" Collaro and poor man's David Eckstein (Getz) are placed over him.

It's just very confusing in my mind for a guy to be left out who is 23, in his second year of pro ball, and is putting up these numbers: 71.2 IP 45 H 15 BB 85 SO 0.75 ERA He's given up six ER all year.

No Oneli Perez.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:14 PM) Is that OPS number wrong? I know that's what MiLB.com says, but how is that possible, considering Sweeney hasn't had an OPS over .900 in one single month? Or am I making some really dumb math mistake? MILB's splits are awful. Here are Sweeney's July/August splits for BA/OBP/SLG/OPS J: 0.299 0.373 0.485 0.857 A: 0.267 0.323 0.512 0.834

QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:13 PM) Actually that AJ swing was an "Oh Shoot" swing. By the time he started that swing the ball was almost in the glove. He had to swing hard to try to catch up to it. That was my take on it. Exactly. He was looking slider and got the fastball.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 10:16 PM) Please come back then...see ya. Good f***ing riddance. If you think the season is over, don't come back. We'll talk to you in February.

Off to pick up dinner and watch Mackowiak in CF. I'm giving Ozzie the benefit of the doubt until I hear that BA is injured. If BA is healthy, I'm going to break down and cry.

Boone v. lefties: BAA: .189 OBP: .231 SLG: .297 10 IP 7 H 1 2B 1 HR 2 BB 15 SO I'd say he's fine against lefties.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:11 PM) We should handle Javy just like we handled El Duque down the stretch run. The minute he shows one crack, bmac comes in the game. He is the bridge to the back end of the pen. This I wouldn't mind seeing from now on. Kind of like Barcelowe (haw haw Barcelo + Lowe I am funny) when Manuel was managing. Vazcarthy sounds good to boot.
