Yeah, the two alleged saviors which Cub fans couldn't shut up about.

I'm not suggesting Felix Patterson v 2.0, but I get the feeling that Castro will never fulfill expectations. *shrugs* I'll be taking in the game at Wrigley tonight.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Aug 22, 2011 -> 02:45 AM) Yes. Flowers is looking decent. I was worried that he might be a bust. Not a bad pickup with Lillibridge for Vazquez (dude we wanted to get rid of in 2008) and Boone Logan. The Vazquez for Lilly Flower trade was indeed a W for KW.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 20, 2011 -> 08:04 PM) I refuse to dislike Adam Dunn like some fans. He could be a real asshole like some athletes are when having poor years but he's willing to talk with the media and seems humble about it. Yeah, Alex "awful at baseball and life" Rios. I've wanted Dunn on the White Sox for a long time. Despite his s***ty year, I want him hitting 4th in 2012. 2011 can be succinctly attributed to mental issues.

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 20, 2011 -> 11:25 PM) unf***ingreal. stay classy, bro. Easy... I wrote that tongue in cheek. He's still pretty awful.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 20, 2011 -> 09:30 PM) I'm pretty sure he couldn't have known he could tag on that ball, so it was the right play to go halfway and hope it dropped in. Like I said, I wasn't particularly paying attention during the play, so I didn't want to say for sure.

I appreciate Rios' contribution to tonight's game, but I still hope he snaps his leg in 4 different places getting out of bed tomorrow. I was only half-watching by this point, but did he mess up again when he was at third on that complicated catch on a bloop later in the game? I assume he did because he's awful, but I'd like to be corrected if not.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 20, 2011 -> 05:34 PM) That remains to be seen. It's not like I'm cheering the guy on. He identified in detail part of his plan and what type of GM he's looking to acquire. That's a start in my book. Yeah, he did. He reminded me of every single politician ever in his presser- I can't fault him for that. Assuming that this is the kind of GM he hires, I also heard him say that this incoming GM will be going through him (and Kenney, presumably) for baseball decisions. Dude has no idea.

Can someone explain the jamoak with the glasses to me?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 20, 2011 -> 01:23 AM) Somebody in this town with some authority gets it. No, Ricketts is just bad news for Cub fans. Crane Kenney remaining is pretty hard evidence of this. The more I hear and read about this Hendry firing, the more I am convinced that Tom Ricketts is a clown who is in way over his head. He has no idea where this is going. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy heard Boers and Bernstein skewer his ass once too much for his liking and acted on Hendry based on that.

The stuff they call country nowadays and stuff like Jennings/Cash etc. are completely different genres of music and ought not to be confused as the same.

Pierre LF Lillibridge 1B Konerko DH Quentin RF Ramirez SS Rios CF Flowers C Morel 3B Beckham 2B. I was really looking forward to seeing whether Dunn could extend his hitting streak.

It needed to happen, but the timing is questionable to say the least.

Dunn with a chance to extend his leviathan of a hit streak.

Dunn is a regular Joe DiMaggio the last two days.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 03:39 PM) Didn't Lucy have a nice little run early last year and have a big game in I think Toronto? I thought he did too. IIRC it was dismissed around here because of sample size.

That was nice to do that against Cleveland's big mid-season acquisition. By the time I had to check out 10/19 Sox hits were for extra bases (5 triples). There should have been more than 6 ER at that point, but I'll take it.

Haha, Juan Pierre. Touch em all.

Ouch. Any word on Castro?

Another question would be if 6 months is too young to be exposed to White Sox offense. I think there was a chapter about it in my child psychology book from a few semesters ago.
