They made that a base hit. Damn.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 02:32 PM) I actually was one of his defenders last year because of his defense. His defense this year has been a mess, and especially a mess when the 9th inning rolls around for some reason. He's cost us several games on defense and saved virtually none. Last year Juan was really, really good at D. This year, no.

Good play by Morel.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 07:31 PM) Damn. Tough ass year for that man. And you know some asshole is going to say Dunn should suck it up and earn his contract.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 01:54 PM) Texas has suddenly taken over the whole Big 12, by having their own deal with ESPN (IIRC) and starting their own "longhorn network". A&M is staring at being the baby university in the state of Texas. Instead, if they can hop over to the SEC, they can bring teams like Bama, Florida, etc., into their stadium and maybe even have some conference strength bragging rights. The SEC gets the market access, both Houston and Dallas while they're at it, the Aggies get out of Texas's shadow. Texas couldn't continue to have this much power over A&M, Mizzou, Oklahoma, and Kansas, and to a lesser degree Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. If the Big 12 was made up of Iowa State, Kansas State, and MAC teams, then sure, they could exercise that power. If Mizzou leaves with A&M, it'll be death to the Big 12.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:27 PM) He's been straight garbage. I have no problem admitting that. It annoys me that I seemingly hate only White Sox prospects. If come October and we're sitting at home watching other teams play for the 9th time in 11 years under KW, I'm not going to put it all on Dunn/Rios/Peavy. Beckham/Morel will be on my s***list as well. Fair enough, but part of that comes with the territory of this being a Sox site, so of course you will appear to hate on Sox prospects more, because it's not worth your time to get on other systems prospects and instead only point out the good ones.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 12:25 PM) a yfrog account from someone named Haroonmihtar (sounds Jewish to me) That name isn't Jewish sounding in the slightest...? Quick Google search shows its just a guy's name, he's Arab, goes to Washington Governor's University.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) Who didn't hype up that system? And most of their guys haven't even had a full year in the bigs yet. I pointed it out because Balta's example was Moustakas, who has been quite awful. I remember when I wanted Kila Ka'aihue for this team. Man, he didn't work out either.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 02:04 PM) Where do you get this idea that I pimp every single prospect from every single team? Both the guys you've named have been disappointments this year. Matt Wieters has been the biggest disappointment of them all. He's a stud defensively. But offensively he's lacking. In all fairness, you did pimp the entire Royals farm system earlier this year, saying when Hosmer, Moustakas, & Co. joined the club they would go on an Atlanta Braves type run. And you've also pimped Drabek a lot.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 11:00 AM) and not a single person got up off the Cubs bench. You wanna talk about lack of respect for a man. Yup. Remember when Cubs fans would say Zambrano was waaay better than Buehrle?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 01:41 PM) Tonight's lineup: Pierre, Vizquel, Konerko, Quentin, Ramirez, De Aza, Morel, Lillibridge, Flowers Peavy vs Hochevar Hochevar has put up 4 quality starts in his last 5, with an ERA of 2.41. So enjoy the fireworks after the game. Omar...? God why.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Yet wont be called up to a major league club that is below average offensively. Now THATS good management. This.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 11:40 AM) I think it is mostly Soxtalk that doesn't like him. I think Toronto is bigger than SoxTalk. Maybe the BBWAA is too.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 10:12 AM) Despite what many on Soxtalk believe, there is no lineup combination on this roster that would average 6 runs a game. More than 2 would be nice.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) Who is the hall of famer he threw at? Chipper

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 09:46 AM) I thought the problem was Dunn, Guillen's lineup? Looks like things go a bit deeper than that. You lineup gurus ought to look at our 2B and particularly, the sacred cows of this board, the SS, RF'er and of course Hollywood. Bruce Chen is terrible. Ok Joe. I want 9 OG type players in the lineup. They'd score 7 runs on 10 hits. All year.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 11:44 AM) Mark Teahen is so much cooler when I'm not caring whether he sucks or not. Yup. :lolhitting

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 07:42 AM) What's he going to do with him. Hollywood said the contracts are "his problem, not Ozzie's or Jerry's." Very big of Hollywood, but what he neglected to say was that those contracts remain on Ozzie's 25-man roster and Jerry is obligated to pay them. Yes, but see, there is no law he hit in the #3 spot.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 07:24 AM) f*** bruce chen

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 06:42 AM) Sale has a solid change. Wasn't it his best pitch out of college?

Viciedo is taking a lot of walks this year. So ready.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 11:14 PM) This 30 now? Yup. And Sergio is awesome.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 11:51 PM) He's been damn good for a long time now IMO. Most buried him after his first error of the season and haven't let him off the hook since his second error. I'm not a big fan of Mr. Slappy, but .281 is .281. When he hits over.270, I call him Juan Dog. Under .270 and it's Slappy. Mark is a badass. I want someone to work with Gordon badly.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) So who plays SS if ARAM2 needs a break? Omar is decent can you really sit there and deny that? Omar is 44. He's not even decent after having a random renaissance year last year. But Lillibridge could play SS, Escobar could have Vizquel's roster spot, and I'm sure even Kuhn could do it.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 12:42 PM) You named 4 players, SPROUTING UP EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously was thinking that Jennings was Brandon Jennings, not Desmond, and thought J4L was losing it.
