Here it is http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/mlb/gameda...09&c_id=cws 1st chance I've seen for him to show off that arm. Top gun ! I just saw this. Holy s*** did you hear how the ball sounded when it hit AJ's glove??

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 04:01 PM) There's probably a lot of people that would disagree with you but I'm sick of the over marketing of the NFL. Plus living in a warmer climate it's really nice outside during the NFL months. I just can't stay inside to watch 6-9 hours of football. Back in the Midwest I would pay more attention to the NFL after Oct. I agree 100 percent about the over marketing. The Super Bowl is the most over hyped event in history.

Less than 40 posts In a game thread? This is a sad part of the year when everyone is watching football and nobody cares about my White Sox. It's such a shame too because IMO MLB>>>>NFL.

I hope to God it has nothing to do with All In. Whatever it is, it can't be worse than that.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) This sucks. Get ready for 2012 Lil'dude Who can backup Paulie at 1B for the rest of the year. Really hate seeing Dunn on the field. Anybody to call up? Or use Vizquel at 1B sometimes? No. It seems like the season is over (dammit I hate admitting that), so make Dunn get his fat ass out there and earn his millions. Maybe he'll get hot and finally start launching homers like he was brought in to do.

Jumpin Jehosefats this thing is STILL going??

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 10:19 AM) Since you used the word "afford" Morel makes $400,000 the 1st 2 guys on the list make a combined $24 million this year and $81 million left on their contracts through 2014. The bigger question is can the Sox not afford to keep him in the lineup ? Maybe I'm using the wrong word. My fault. I don't mean they can't afford his salary, but they can't afford to have another whole in the line up. It would be easier to hide a guy while he learns how to hit if the Sox didn't have the other holes in the line up.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 09:44 AM) Among AL hitters with at least 350 plate appearances, Morel has the fifth-worst total of batting runs above average. That's bad enough, but look who's there with him. 1. Alex Rios: -26.4 2. Adam Dunn: -19.4 3. Alcides Escobar: -19.4 4. Aaron Hill: -17.4 5. Brent Morel: -16.5 6. Gordon Beckham: -16.5 Good Lord this is scary. I'm surprised the Sox are above .500. I don't if the Sox can afford to have Morel in the line up with the rest of these guys.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 08:41 AM) He's shown he can do it in the OF. Eh... I think 2nd would be more of a challenge though. Plus I can't see Beckham being this bad at the plate next year. Maybe with a new hitting coach he will have a resurgence in 2012.

QUOTE (shipps @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 08:21 AM) Probably a better second base option for next year than Becks IMO. I'm not one of those guys that was going around calling Gordon Beckham the Bacon Slayer and claiming he was a future Hall of Famer, but Beckham does have one hell of a glove. I don't know if Lilli can give you that night in and night out.

The saddest part is how his broken hand is going to keep him from ummm... indulging himself over the long winter.

Touch em all Paul...

Oh Captain my Captain...

I think I heard that hand snap a the way out here in Hoffmann Estates. Dammit the Sox need to start protecting their hitters.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 10:54 AM) He'll be well received in Florida with Ozzie if thats the case. His iron man s*** would be impressive, if he had pop or defensive skills. This is interesting. I was already thinking that if Ozzie does end up in Florida, he would probably bring back Juan Pierre with him. Pierre won a ring with the Marlins before, so he might get a hero's welcome back - especially if he keeps playing like he has been the past couple of weeks. AJ to the Marlins with Ozzie and Pierre? Hmmm...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 09:42 AM) Let's see: Yankees? No Red Sox? No Jays? No Rays? No Orioles? No Indians? No Tigers? No Twins? No Royals? No Rangers? No A's? No Angels? No Mariners? No On to the NL: Braves? No Nationals? No Marlins? No Phillies? No Mets? No Cubs? No Cardinals? No Reds? No Pirates? No Brewers? No Astros? No Giants? No Rockies? No Diamondbacks? No Dodgers? No The conclusion? A.J. will be back next year. Lol I sense a little bit of smart ass-ness in this post

I wonder if the decision has already been made to not bring Juan Pierre back.

I'm still waiting for that 8 game losing streak for the Tigers. I still have hope.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 08:12 AM) I think the difference with Sergio is that when he doesn't have "it", he hasn't yet figured out how to get enough outs to slog through with the save. When Nathan doesn't have "it", he loads the bases but gets that last out somehow. When Sergio doesn't have it, there's 2 HR and a game over. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 08:13 AM) Some guys seem to put guys on base in most outings. Jenks was like that most of the time, he just always found a way out of it. Ah. Well maybe another year of experience will teach Santos how to deal with situations where he doesn't have "it". He's still fairly young and hasn't been pitching that long. I know he likes talking to Mariano Rivera and getting advice from him. I'm not too worried about him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 08:01 AM) Santos is an odd duck as a closer. He is either dominant Mo-style, or he is just awful. 95% of the time it seems like he is on, it is the other 5% that destroys things. I wonder if the Sox have seen something in him, which is why Sale got more opportunities as the season went on. Isn't that the case with most elite closers though?

I just hope to God that Zach Stewart doesn't turn out like Armando Galarraga. Please please please Baseball Gods make him successful so we can stop hearing about Daniel "Cy" Hudson so freaking much.

Gardy looks sleepy...

If the twins hit a walk off home run right here I'm going to need a new tv.

Justin Verlander's face looks really punchable...

Well f*** me this got ugly in a hurry... Two ass kickings in a row on national tv.
