Well, the Tigers "manned up" against the Twins at least. About to take 2/3 at Comerica. Now the bad news, we aren't close to being as good as DET right now either.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:11 PM) You just said the same things in opposite order. You wanted to pitch to him because he wasn't doing well, but then you wanted to sign him because he was. WHY WOULD ANYONE BE AFRAID OF GUERRERO when our own GM didn't want to sign him, nor did most SoxTalk posters. Everyone said he was done, washed up, injury-prone, lost bat speed....now he's the most dangerous hitter in baseball again?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:06 PM) Sure you can question it, but you probably should develop some skin when you get questioned. Man up buddy. It just gets old when the same 4-5 people seem to enjoy making little "insider-ish" jokes...like they would rather try to poke fun at me than to actually talk about the White Sox. Seriously. I have a post and couldn't get the "underline" feature to "undo" and it deserves to be criticized. That's just a BIT ridiculous. I don't think anyone around here has ever been questioned about using underline, italics, bold...sometimes I just wonder if it really makes those posters feel better about themselves, maybe it does...well, whatever works.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:04 PM) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/bvsp?playerId=5922 Vladdy 4 for 18 career versus GAVIN, .222 Hamilton 1 for 2 with a double, now 3/4 with two doubles against FLOYD. You think someone MIGHT actually notice that in the dugout. I forgot, Ozzie doesn't use computers, only TWITTER. So you would pitch around someone over a 1-2? Wow. It wasn't even 1 for 2, it was at that point 2/3. Guerrero, last time I checked, is right-handed. Gavin Floyd, last time I checked, is a RHP. But what do I know, obviously that strategy worked well to go after Hamilton. After all, KW considered Guerrero too washed up to think about signing for DH, his knees too balky....now he's superhuman?

Seriously, there are some people who need to grow up around here. I can't question Ozzie for NOT telling Gavin to be careful when Guerrero's 4/18 against him career-wise and Hamilton is now 3/4 with 2 doubles? I guess we really don't need a manager, hitting coach or a message board.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:55 PM) You mean Vlad who is hitting something like .500 at home? You mean Vlad who just made an out? Seriously, what are the splits for Hamilton and Vladdy against GAVIN?

No KW, we couldn't use a .364 HOF hitting DH because he's RH. Stupid!

Nice "NON-MANAGING" job again Ozzie....!!!! Walk Hamilton to face Guerrero...stupidity and stupid-ness. Nice job throwing the ball around out there too....Hamilton could have scored or at least gotten to 3rd if he was paying attention.

Work around Hamilton to face Vladdy, RHP v. RHB?

Thanks Buddy Bell. Teahen indeed cannot play defense at any position on the diamond. At least it wasn't close and he missed Konerko by about six feet...Konerko avoided getting his shoulder separated. Then we'd really be seeing Kotsay a LOT more. LOL.

BALTA, what is his RISP average from 2007-2010? I would guess his higher numbers in that category were in the FLA/COLORADO days.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:43 PM) Nice job Juan 'LOB' Pierre. And of course the irony is that Pods was one of our best RBI guys last year....his replacement can't even get a knock to save his mom's life.

Can't Santos just hit every time Pierre is due up like in Little League?

Yay, an actual hit. FUN FACT: AJ has never been on the DL in his entire career. NOT SO FUN FACT: Juan Pierre 1 for 19 with RISP this season.

Can we please at least try to cancel the post-game show?

5 hitters in today's line-up entering the game with under a .547 OPS (Beckham/Ramirez tied).... No Quentin...and the hits they just keep on coming. Does the sore hamstring serve as excuse for his below average defense, compared to what we expected? How can a physical specimen like that get hurt so often?

Ordonez with his 2,000th hit. Congrats, Magglio. Wonder if 2,500 would get him close to the HOF? Would he dare go in as a Tiger instead of White Sox?

Univ. of Iowa's softball coach is a better choice than Hoiberg.

We'll need Jones to join the (starting pitching) rotation too, with the way things have gone for some of our hurlers.

Royals, down 5-1, actually had a comeback to tie game at 5-5 against the M's with two clutch, two out hits against R-R-S. Would be nice to see the White Sox do that more often. Rolls eyes right back. Last time I checked, those homers against SEA/Aardsma/Lowe were solo homers, not "clutch two out (base) hits (with RISP)"...(since the Royals aren't a home run hitting team, either, with the exception of Guillen/Ankiel). How many times recently has someone other than Rios done that....getting a "clutch" single with a runner on 2nd base with 2 outs in the 7th/8th/9th innings?

Aaron Poreda's certainly doing f***ing great down in the minors isn't he? That's kind of the point. HOPEFULLY, Peavy gets it together, but since you brought Poreda's performance this season over 3-4 weeks into the season up, doesn't it make it equally relevant to talk about what Jake or Richard has done so far? OF COURSE, in the long-term, Peavy SHOULD be fine and it was the right move at the time. If he's not (fine), we're screwed in too many ways to count.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) Huh? The conversation was about the decision-making of the Indians...or decent players on the M's, I can't even remember and am not going to bother to backtrack all the way through the thread..trading Franklin Gutierrez for what they got back was epic stupid/fail.

Interesting, because the only player that Bell should know really well (and have approved acquiring) would be Teahen, and he's been pretty decent.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 06:53 AM) How's Javy Vazquez doing? Or Jeremy Reed? Or Miguel Olivo? Marte? Aaron Poreda's certainly doing f***ing great down in the minors isn't he? Kenny Williams has done a great job having a roster prepared to go from the "opening bell" the last two years. True or false? I think based on the results so far, the White Sox would be better off with Clayton Richard and an actual DH (Jones has been fine) like Matsui. I could care less about Poreda.
