Sorry, i was unaware that i had to put everything out their for the larger audience. Thank God, Clayton Richard managed to escape his s***fest of an inning with only two scored after a pickoff.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 02:20 PM) League average defensively in CF??? You sure about that? His rating tends to change depending on usage and park factors, but yes, he's more then adequate when your only other options are Wise and Owens. Can we nip this arguement in the bud and go back to Brandon Allen? I don't feel like doing this again.

Thank God.

f***ing, Richard is leaving everything up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 02:17 PM) Nix has been fine in the outfield so far this year coming into the game. I agree 100% here, Fathom. I just think we shoudln't be so willing to play him in LF, when he's clearly a superior middle infielder.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 02:14 PM) He's in there for his bat right now. Getz can't play LF. Getz can play the OF, at least he has in the minors, frankly, i'd rather give Fields a chance out their again, it doesn't pay too be too concerned with having decent defense in LF, if you're going to sacrifice it in more important areas.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 02:09 PM) I think Ozzie finally found out that BA is horrible against left handed pitchers. Nix is a premier defensive middle infielder, that man should never play LF ever.

f***.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 01:21 PM) Which one? The MacDougal deal gave us a guy who was a dominant reliever to help out our garbage bullpen during a season where we were favorites for the Series. The second Swisher deal dumped a guy who the Yankees couldn't even find a taker for once they signed Tex. Swisher might be the most overrated player that still gets discussed here. He was a s***ty CF and didn't have the bat to replace Dye or CQ in a corner, or Paulie at 1B, or Thome as a DH. He had no reason to be on this team and reportedly was stubborn and selfish to go along with it. Plus I've never seen a guy take so many called third strikes in so many crucial situations. At least swing the f***ing bat for Christ's sakes. His numbers are better this year, but I still don't want that guy on my team in CF and I have higher hopes at 1B/LF/RF/DH than Swisher's career line of .244/.356/.454. If you add above-average defense and some very good speed then it would be a different story, but Swisher = not the player Kenny thought he was getting. Dumping him was the right call. Ah, another iteration of this moment in blind Nick Swisher hate. The Yankees never shopped Swish after acquiring him, why? Because he was a good acquisition they gave and we received absolutely nothing of value outside of a AA reliever. They got a high OPB, league-average defensively CF/1B with good pop. We got to start Dewayne Wise. Uh, yay?

Why is Nix in LF?

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 01:01 PM) Or the Swisher deals, or the MacDougal deal. But, I still stand behind him on the MacDougal deal as well as the second Swisher deal. The first Swisher deal I didn't like. Why? It was clearly a s*** deal from the time it was reported. It’s gotten progressively worse as the year goes on.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 12:58 PM) From Ozzie in regards to Colon... "When he gets to Charlotte, Oney [Guillen] will call me to say he’s there." Ummmm...why is Oney Guillen the line of communication between the Knights and Ozzie? Why not the manager Chris Chambliss or the pitching coach Richard Dotson? What possible role would Oney serve with Charlotte? I expect Oney was assigned to Charlotte after he graduated scout school, he probably does advanced reports for the team, and apart from that is the closest connection to Ozzie Guillen that anybody has in the organization.

Okay, the constant Sarah Palin bashing is getting a bit ridiculous.

Daniel Black just destroyed the ball tonight. Going 3-4 with a 2b, 3B and an RBI

I can't wait for the Tigers Series. Let's settle this thing. Face to Face.

Flowers 2-3 with a 2B and and RBI Danks 1-4 with a 2B Viciedo 1-4 with an RBI

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 10:40 PM) I just realized there is a possibility that Wise is let go when Quentin comes back. Oh my... Did you just feel a Chris Matthews-esque tickle down your leg?

McNair was asleep during the shooting. Even worse, "Before shooting herself, the 20-year-old sat next to his body and "tried to stage it so she would fall in his lap" http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2009/07/08/police-...killed-herse%2F

That a White Sox Series Winner!

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 10:32 PM) Why not swing a deal for a producing LF/CF ? (if we can't count on Q) I'd love to get Cody Ross from the Marlins. Young, cheap with tremendous pop.
