QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) If he can hit .290 with an OBP of .335 in his first year of a full time starter, I could care less. 2-4 years of starting, if he can hit 10-15 HR, that's fine IMO. Especially if he can pickit in CF.

He hasn't getting smoked all year. He started the season quite well. He's regressed lately, but he hasn't been bad ALL year.

Bannister on a pace for 10 ks tonight. At least the right team is winning.

Was not impressed with Kittle to be honest. August 5th, 1983...White Sox @ Baltimore (it was Brooks Robinson night) and the game that night was delayed by about a 3 hour rain delay. I got a chance to meet nearly everyone on the White Sox (except Fisk, Luzinksi and a few others supposedly they were in the clubhouse playing cards) and Kittle was out holding a bat talking to the fans and he seemed to be not so cool. Can't explain it, but he didn't seem friendly. Then again, he was at least out there. I don't know he seemed kinda pompous to me. Maybe just my reaction at the time.

Barring something amazing we're outta first...our SP wheels a 2 hitter and we lose ground. Damn

That was atrocious by Uribe. Beckett may as well thrown 3 straight pitches into the on deck circle, he'd have still struck him out.

Sad thing is...the pitch that Youkillis got a hit on was a GOOD Pitch...Youkillis just muscled it. I think Danks kinda lost his mojo after that despite the strikeout of Bay.

Fooking bs.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:36 PM) Must be moveent on Beckett's fastballs Becks is no slouch. He's having Carlos for dinner, but it's taking a damn good pitcher to do it. No shame in having Beckett dice you up now and then.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:35 PM) I would say so. Another great KW move. Indeed....I'd rank this move better than the Garcia and Quentin moves. The Jenks move is still WAY up there for me...picked him up off the minor league trash pile as a FA, that was a killer move too.

CQ has been used and abused tonight. Beckett has owned him. Has also been doing it with fastballs mainly.

I think Carlos needs to bunt here...Fathom probably would agree with me. Haha J/K

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:32 PM) I just checked in to see Danks is making a run at it. Is this guy the real ace of the staff? I'd say he's making a statement.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:19 PM) would like to see his P/B come down a little bit but his P/IP is still really nice Just a tad...he's looking at 110+ if he goes no-no (and thats being slightly conservative). He looks positively fabulous tonight and AJP is calling a brilliant game.

Danks is blistering tonight. If he gives up a hit, it will be a fluke, kid is dealing.

Nasty change...Danks is dealing tonight.

Getting runs in = Good thing

Swisher and Uribe with back to back hits. Amazing.

This Danks guy seems to be an alright pitcher.

Damn he's sexy.

6 up 6 down for Danks....anyone get the feeling this is gonna be a 2-1 type game tonight? Both pitchers look great early.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 06:48 PM) He sees so many pitches per at bat though. I wonder if Swish was put in a contact hitter role if he would rise to the occasion Wasn't Swisher hitting 2nd earlier this year? Swisher belongs nowhere near the top of a batting order, walks or not.

The schedule opens up now...lots of games with subpar teams...KC, Oaktown, B-More...the Rays and the trip to Fenway is the major test for the rest of the month.

Got the series...AWESOME. Beatown had been playing well. This was a HUGE series win for the Sox....HUGE.

Just get it over with before Papi comes up.
