And I was all happy when I could bench my weight. There goes my ego

So bad even an 8 year old could get him out right now.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 08:41 PM) What the f*** is QUentin doing?????? Seen 3 pitches. Also the Sox have 4 infield pop outs, 2 grounders that didn't make past he mound and 1 K against a guy that barely hits 90. He must be related to Joe Mays.

Dye blown away by a fastball right down the chute.

So CQ has seen 3 pitches in 3 AB's today?

Nice play Fieldsy.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 08:31 PM) You know what I don't get....why isn't Uribe starting today? The Sox organization always talks about how he can carry a team when hot, and he seems to be hitting pretty good lately. Also, he had success in the past against Slowey, IIRC. Also, why did Ozzie let Javy pitch to Miguel Cabrera with an open base yesterday? Oh well, this team has to play better, end of story. Did you see some of the hacks Uribe was taking yesterday? It was awful.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 08:17 PM) When is the last time Swisher had an extra base hit? Well, the last time he had a base hit was July 22nd so that is pretty awesome.

Can we take the Suicide Shrug out of the lineup yet?

Everything Mark is throwing is up and over the plate. A High School team could hit off him right now.

I know this isn't as big as a World Series start Mark but how about not giving them taters? Thanks.

Seriously, who the f*** is Denard Span?

Good thing we have him signed through 2010.

I guess that's a good start.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 04:46 AM) I dare someone to find a better place than Carbondale. Not gonna happen. I dare you to say the same thing 5 years from now.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 09:32 AM) Sorry, man, but that last hour or so felt like forever. It wasn't uninteresting, but it wasn't spellbinding either. I hope i'm not ornery like you when I get old Critic

QUOTE (zimne piwo @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 10:56 PM) Might I suggest a lovely cruise through the Bermuda Triangle for "Around The Horn"? That show needs more Max Kellerman.

Technically, shouldn't this be called the MMA Thread??

Have we given any thought to Chuck Knoblauch?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 06:54 PM) I'd risk it. If he sucks at 34 in three years, he's no worse than Contreras is right now for similar cash. and he will be 10 years younger than Contreras at that point.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 04:50 PM) Are you guys forgetting the Damaso Marte that was absolutely shutdown for the Sox for all but one season. The guy has had one down season since initially joining the White Sox. He has a plus slider and fastball and throws from the left side. Xavier Nady would be the Sox 3rd best offensive player (well now that Thome is hitting, 4th best, behind Dye/CQ/Thome). The Yanks gave up very little of actual value to themselves (aside from Tabata who could turn into a star, but again, this would be the equivalent of the Sox dealing an extremely raw player whose yet to prove much of anything, ie a Faustino De Los Santos). Albeit Tabata was a pitcher and is farther along than where Del Los Santos was. This is a freaking steal for the Yanks, especially given there needs. Marte is great in low pressure situations (I.e. most of his seasons with the Sox and all of his seasons with Pitt.) However, in the only season we were really in contention when he was here he was pretty brutal in pressure situations.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 04:26 PM) He's 32, has missed significant time with health issues over the course of his career, and has over 1,700 innings on his arm. Do you want to trade away a cheap, 25-year-old pitcher with a mid-90's fastball and devastating breaking ball and another cheap, young third-baseman with 30+ HR power for a guy like that? It may be a great move for the short-term, but I don't think it's going to help the franchise over the long run. He just turned 31 but hey who's counting?

Good to have Swish up too to work the count some.

I think Carlos Quentin is a cyborg sent back in time to rescue our offense and protect us.
