QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 12:06 PM) I don't think this group thinks as much of Lilli as the previous one did. It appears he is already behind Danks in terms of playing time. If he can't get playing time this year after what he did last year he never will.

It's about time . This move was highly predictable given the state of affairs on the staff.

Don't know if or how much this has been discussed but why not give Lilibridge a crack at 3rd, at the very least against left handers ? He really did great things last year and with a hole as big as 3rd he deserves a shot. He has power he has speed and he's rotting away on the bench. He can't be worse fielding than Hudson has been who, at best, has been inconsistent, making some very good plays but making awful ones too. Hudson is a small step away from being out of baseball and Escobar has plenty of options to develop in the minors where he should be.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2012 -> 07:46 PM) I didn't think he pouted on that last swing, but his body language has been awful for the last 3 weeks. You mean the last 3 weeks where he's been hitting .446 ?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 13, 2012 -> 11:33 AM) 1/3 of a season's worth of UZR should always be taken with a grain of salt. Will go good with the popcorn . Who's got the butter ?

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Jun 13, 2012 -> 01:34 PM) Al Hrobosky and Dan McLaughlin...brutal crew. I watched the replay on FSN when I got home from the game...a not so subtle jab at our attendance at the Cell as AJ was homering from Hrobosky. Just a tool thing to say. Well he's actually right he could take more jabs at our fan base for not voting Paulie or AJ as starters for the AS game too.

Quintana's importance has been HUGE with Floyd and Humber sucking and Danks on the DL. Just HUGE balls to go along with that penis.

Konerko last 20 games .446 batting average.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2012 -> 10:32 AM) this thread needs more anger... f*** THE ARCH! IT IS THE MOST OVERRATED TOURIST HELLHOLE OUT THERE! NEVER FORGET !!!

To people who place a lot of value on WAR I have questions. How does a part time player like Flowers have a higher WAR than Viciedo a full time player ? What exactly is it that Flowers has done or Viciedo hasn't done that makes this possible?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 08:10 PM) We beat the World Series champs on the road with a Colombian 95% of SoxTalk didn't know about 4 months ago and yet we've spent most of the game thread trading Alexei Ramirez and Dayan Viciedo. If JR hadn't been burned by 2009-2011, there might be some willingness to spend on a Wright or Greinke. For now, they're too hot to the touch. Besides, the Mets aren't doing to lose both Wright and Reyes, their attendance is already falling big-time. They have to keep a homegrown star in the fold. As for Greinke, the price is Viciedo and Reed, bargained down to Viciedo and Jones or Mitchell. Nothing less. Crazy talk to give up Viciedo for a rental and throwing in Reed and/or Jones to boot ? I'll put my money on Danks, Floyd and Humber .

I love the smell of victory.

And the Card's fans stream towards the exits.

Way to go Huddy !!!!!!!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 09:04 PM) I don't think anyone is saying people don't have the right to their own opinion. The fun comes in debating your opinion and those of others with all the facts available. But the debates get a bit out of hand sometimes trying to win or say your reasoning is better than someone else's. Not you in particular.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2012 -> 05:40 AM) I'm just glad someone else here was old enough to get it! I have a lot of all 3 on my ipod.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 01:01 PM) Correction: It is everyone's thread. Grades are as subjective as it gets and everyone is entitled to their opinions. Exactly. It's an opinion. It doesn't need a grade scale.If I like the season player A is having I can give him an A based on nothing more than I feel good about the guy, Player B may have a better season but maybe I don't like his lack of hustle or his non-chalant fielding so I give him a B or worse. Am i wrong? Many would say yes and give me multiple reasons . You grade based upon how you feel or stats or w/e floats your boat. Right now all I know is the TEAM gets an A.

I'd be interested in seeing Viciedo's stats on what kinds of pitches he's been getting his HR's. We keep hearing he hits the curve better than the fastball. So the league might try to adjust to him then we'll see how he adjusts back. In any case no need to lock anyone up at this point.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 2, 2012 -> 11:19 AM) Matt Thornton is the max I'd trade. That's exactly right. Old for old expensive for expensive. That's all I would give up take it or leave it.

Sunday lineup doing all right. No Seattle come backs now. Shut em down Chris.
