Now back to our regularly scheduled b****ing

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) And hence why the game threads suck anymore. 3/4s of the posts are b****ing about Konerko, and there isn't one post in this whole thread that actually has what matters most... THE SCORE OF THE GAME! :headshake 2-1 tigers, in the top of the 4th

Detroits starters are no joke.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) You expect SOME grounders to not be beat out??? Dude expect all grounders to not be beat out...He can't run. Don't expect the unexpected and you won't be dissapointed. So just put up with him not making an effort. Sure. Sorry, Im going to disagree on how you see it, and keep on b****ing. I expect better.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:48 PM) It's ridiculous, can we trade Pk straight up for him, and move Dye to 1st Anthrax, is that you?

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) Did Pauly mislead us?? Were we once told he was fast? The guy is horribly slow...it sucks, but it is what it is. Does there have to be b****ing everytime he hits a groundball?? Its not just oridinary groundballs Chaos. Its squibbers that any other player would have run out. You have to get frustrated when he is half-assing it down the line, when he could be charging as hard as he can to make it a play. I know he is slow, but there are times that he could give it an attempt to run as fast as possible, but he gives up when he sees it hit the ground.

QUOTE(soxfan3530 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) thank you steff. last time i checked he was still part of this team. I checked there and I didnt see that. lol

The storm rolled through Naperville rather quickly. Its still rumbling here, but the rain stopped (for now)

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) Good grief guys.. what's with all the Konerko hating.. ?? I just cant help it Steff

QUOTE(Butter Parque @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) someone come in the chat Wish I could. Job sez NO

Pauly is having his off year. It happens every other year.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:29 PM) He's basically Mark Grace with power but without the average. Ok, thats basically not mark grace.

Well, Monroe f***ed up. gotta take advantage of that

Freddy is getting torched.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:23 PM) So it's raining back at home, huh? How much did we get? Downtown at work, it hasn't worked yet. Kyyle, you have a basset too? Sure do, he turned 7 this month. Clark

QUOTE(YahtzeeSox @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Konerko needs more speed. I hate that Shelton ass. He's just some goofy looking nerd that wears his pants high. Doesn't even look like a damn baseball player. he certainly hits like a damn baseball player.

Man, I know he is slow. But it still mystifies me how he can be that slow. That infielder had time to spin around and dance with the ball before throwing it

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) I hope my neighborhood gets hit with as much rain as we just received in Rolling Meadows. Well I am glad I didnt leave my Bassett hound outside to soak up the sun then. How bad was the rain?

Gooch!

f***, homerun by shelton. DONT PITCH TO THAT f***ER

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:04 PM) DL it. what do you mean? I cannot download anything to this server, it is pretty much locked up. Ameriquest doesnt fool around.

There will be no chatting for me today, my server at work does not support java. What kind of stoneage bulls*** is that?!?!?

I think the major part of the problem is that this is April for Frank. He just got off the DL, I think he deserves a month or so to get himself situated. What are Franks numbers for the early part of a season, isnt he notoriously a slow starter? He will be fine as long as his ankle stays together.

instead of surgery last year, Eddie chose to rehab his shoulder. So he shut it down and followed the rehab plan given to him by Dr James Andrews(I believe). He is iffy, but it isnt as if we dont know whats up with him.

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 10:31 AM) While watching the last two games I have come to a conclusion. Neither of the Cubans can pitch out of the bullpen, should they be needed. Assume they come in with a runner on. Average/Decent speed = stolen base, not what you want late in a game. Think of the impact this had with Brian Roberts lasytyear. That isn't really even the half of it. They need time to establish themselves in a game and work with their stuff over the course of the game. In relief I think they would be a nightmare. Have either of them ever pitched out of the pen????/ I like both of these guys to round out a rotation. They can get hit around and are tough to watch from times but over-all I am fine with the five we have. Now here is my point. If we make the playoffs, both of them should not be on the roster. Every reliever can pitch in every game, you do not need a long man. This is where I think we need to add a reliever, a good one, and send Jenks down. For the playoffs, and correct me if I am wrong, we can still add Jenks to replace a starter (as long as he is on teh 40 man) thereby adding a reliever now, send Jenks down for six weeks and go at it in September with him and see what the pen has. I think Ozzie is trying to figure out what kind of mental makeup that Jenks has, and how far he can push him in certain situations. Last night was case in point, Jenks came in and got the final out of Contreras' disaster, and was given 2 innings to mop up. His first innign went relatively well, only gave up a single to maggs, but he had bases loaded with noone out in his second inning of work, and got out of it. This is only going to make Jenks better for it and more confident in these situations. It will also give Ozzie more confidence in bringing the kid out in tough situations, a confidence that he lost in Shingo. I think Jenks is here to stay, barring a major trade in which Jenks will have to be sent down to make room.
