  1. Well, there's no way anyone could have hit that pitch to Paulie, even though it was hanging a little high. Unless you were just sitting on it, but it would have been total luck to guess that pitch in that location. Felix is getting a ton of pitches that are well off the corners for strikes.
  2. That's the second person Alexei's hurt this week. One with a foul ball, this time with a bat off the cameraman's head.
  3. Beckham ugliness continues. Well, he hit one ball sort of hard foul. At least Pierre hasn't given up on this season yet. Sizzles (for him) his 2nd double of the season down the RF line.
  4. How many former 1st round draft picks (pitchers) from other organizations have we recycled through our system? It's got to be in the high teens or twenties under Cooper and KW. Just some guesses.... Aardsma Sisco MacDougal Thornton Danks Floyd Humber Peavy Van Benschoten Marquez Garland
  5. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) Rios average down to .181. Hey, that's 20 points better than where it was previously. Progress!!! Dunn's the one who MIGHT need a lot of help to get to .180 at the rate things are going.
  6. Humber just humbled Smoak? Humber just Smoaked His Sausage? No, that's not going to work. Smoak Smoked by a Humble Humber? Phil "The Cannibal" Humber Ate Smoak Alive? Teahen put on about 15-20 pounds it seems this offseason...probably no coincidence he got married and wasn't expecting to play much this year. Oooops.
  7. Humber=Loaiza 2003 Cy Young here we come. Now all he needs is to add the cutter. Masterson's given up 7 hits already but no runs so far to the Halos, top of the 5th. 1-0 Indians.
  8. QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:03 PM) Too early to put Santos in? Nice job by Dunn and PK. Nope, time to showcase Pena for our first salary dump. He might actually go 2-3 innings without a run allowed as long as he pitches around Smoak. And the Indians are winning again over the Angels. Amazing this mystery team's gotten off to a better start than any of their loaded teams from 1994-2002.
  9. Wow, it's a miracle. We have a lead. It took a massive brain cramp from the M's to help them along, though. Harrelson's probably happy with the get em on, get em over, get em in theory working out for once this season. Nice to see Carlos is thinking of going up the middle and to the right side accidentally by pulling so much he hit a cue ball with masse.
  10. QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 6, 2011 -> 08:51 PM) The development of Gordon Beckham as a hitter has to be the biggest (although it is one of many) indictments of Walker's lack of ability as a hitting coach. If they can spend $3.8 million on Manny Ramirez and no money on signing Dominicans and Venezuelans, you'd think they could hire Hrniak or someone similar to work with Beckham specifically since the relationship with Walker doesn't seem to be leading to any positive results.
  11. Well, at least we didn't get punk'd by the worst player in baseball the last 7 months. Here comes the 2nd worst in Bradley.
  12. Tip your caps, boys. Did Harrelson even bother to make this trip? He might have an aneurysm before it's over, probably in Oakland.
  13. Just announced. The White Sox signed Greg Walker to a two-year contract extension through the 2013 season. Btw, thanks for turning Gordon Beckham into Joe Crede without the defensive resume.
  14. I feel like I'm watching those old Faces of Death videos. Morbid curiosity, waiting for something to happen or change with this season, somehow. You don't want to watch, but you almost feel compelled to see if it can actually get any worse.
  15. The dreaded leadoff walk. Didn't want to challenge him with another fastball. Can't blame him, with how well Smoak's been going. Konerko with the range of the Venus de Milo. Should have been a DP, but nice calm recovery by Beckham.
  16. Cue Corpseball. We might have the worst minor league system in baseball and I'm still more excited by Charlotte's game tonight than ours in Seattle. Ugh.
  17. Betancourt breaks it up. So much for that. Weird. Gallardo now is returning the favor to the Cardinals with a no-hitter through 7. Dead. But Verlander's is still alive going into the bottom of the 9th in TOR. http://ilemi.me/23520/1/Watch-Detroit-Tige...onto-Blue-Jays/ Arencibia got a walk (he battled his butt off) but it was erased by a double play ball so he's still only faced 24 hitters through 8. Verlander hit 101 and 100 a number of times in that inning on their gun. In the high 90's for pitch count. He does it, strikes out Rajai Davis. Only one walk in the game. Second career no-hitter already.
  18. I'd go with Konerko and Santos as the bookends with Lillibridge diving in NY in the middle. Konerko, fine. Paul Konerko, it's like we are informing people who don't know much about baseball who one of our best players is...
  19. Mitchell's going to be given a ton of time to develop now. They might have to send him down to KANNY, but there's not going to be a rush to get him to the majors to replace Pierre as might have happened had he never been injured. He'll be fine. Dayan receives the INTENTIONAL WALK. Ha, ha. Bruney on to close the 8-7 Knights' lead. Gallagher with the go-ahead single to drive in Escobar after a sac bunt by De Aza to put him in scoring position.
  20. Gio Gonzalez just blazed a 96 MPH fastball on the black to get Hosmer. Started him out with two unhittable curves. 2 BB's and a K so far for Hosmer.
  21. Cliff Lee has 16 K's through 7 IP and is losing. Crazy. Lowe just lost his no-hitter to Victorino in the 7th. Braves up 3-0.
  22. One thing's for certain, we heated up the Twins' season. And you'll never find a quote from me saying anything positive about Teahen. Other than the fact that we have no choice but to play him now if we want some offensive POTENTIALITY in the line-up.
  23. With the way Wilson Betemit has gone the last 2 years, KW looks doubly stupid for discarding him for Teahen. Eventually he'll be replaced by Moustakas, but the guy has been raking and playing better D than we saw in his brief time with us.
