QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 18, 2009 -> 10:05 AM) Bunts are so grinderesque. I simply cannot understand why statheads fail to see the grinder factor. Seriously, it's called mixing it up. There are aspects of it that cannot be measured. It's always been a part of baseball. Since we are Sox fans we can't grasp traditional baseball since we haven't seen it in years. We love our "station to station" baseball.

Some players bunt to get on base.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 09:40 PM) Reinsdorf needs to take control of this situation - top to bottom re-evaluation. Call in Eddie and really take a sobering look. Like they did after last season? Did you forget this season started with Josh Fields starting at 3rd? The standard was set for mediocrity on opening day. They are living up to it. It's sad that the best player might be they guy who was playing college baseball not too long ago.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 09:39 PM) Baseball IQ, something the White Sox have none of. It seems to run deep even into the farm system.

I wouldn't be surprised if they get their asses kicked by the Royals this weekend. KC may be on a streak.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 09:07 PM) Somebody hit a HR. I'm sick of small ball. You'll have to wait until Linebrink is in.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:52 PM) What's amazing it is seems like White Sox pitchers had better chances for hits during interleague play than Dye or Rios have now. That's why I wouldn't mind seeing Carlos Z. on the Sox. He can hit better than some of these guys.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:51 PM) If Jermaine gets two strikes on him these days, it's OVA. He has no chance. Well you can't accuse him of playing for a new contract.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:44 PM) He's hit before. He's made a couple of All Star teams, so he's no novice. Maybe he's stubborn. Maybe he is lacking desire like many scouts claim. Maybe he's just in a slump the size no one has ever seen before. He will eventually be better. Well us Sox fans have seen slumps like that before. It should be nothing new.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:40 PM) I'd bet you if KW put Rios on waivers and someone claimed him, he'd be sucking back champagne at Market with JR within the hour. How does that guy even make contact with that stance?

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:34 PM) How is that different from Jenks? He has more than one pitch. He made 2 major mistakes. The first HR any of us could hit that out. You couldn't place that pitch any better on a tee.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:34 PM) pena has a heavy ball I think he's the 2nd coming of McDougal. Million dollar arm, 10 cent brain. He will probably blow this game after 2 out and a 0-2 count.

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:33 PM) He also should have Thornton close, but that doesn't look like it will happen. I think we over rate Thornton. He has one pitch.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:29 PM) Is anybody else watching on mlb.tv having issues getting a better quality picture? I hope you are not getting confused by the quality picture vs. quality of the team.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 11:23 PM) It's pretty obvious Walk will be gone after this year, don't you think. And I don't really blame him. But somebody has to take the fall for the 'O.' I wouldn't put money on it.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 11:12 PM) Aardsma warming - he OWES us. Let's hope he doesn't own us.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 11:05 PM) Well we are currently 12th out of 14 teams in the AL for runs scored. 2 out of the last year years we have been near the bottom in runs scored. We need to fix this s***. With our pitching next year we can compete. With our rotten offense, and rotten defense we might be lucky to be 500. The Sox starting are in the top 3 in every AL category except wins. What a waste.

This guy for the Mariners is having a good out. He get ahead in the count and doesn't waste time between pitchers.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 10:21 PM) This team is such a tease. Detroit is literally choking down the stretch and only the Twins are actually giving a damn in this s***ty division without Morneau. (knowing them, they can still win) I still think the Twins are going to take the division. Very little talent, but they know how to play baseball.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) CQ still has a lot to learn about hitting IMO. I am not just saying this cause Gavin is getting lit up. But he's 11-10. Why do we all assume our rotation is going to be unstoppable next year. Gavin is not Tom Seaver. Danks is not Sandy Koufax. They are good, but why are we assuming next year will be balls out excellence?? The defense needs to really improve.

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 11:27 PM) Anybody know how many wins the staters have had lost for them? It's about 100% anytime Pena makes an appearance.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) And we all know Kenny will fill up camp with potential Esteban Loiaza's, especially if the free agent market is as depressed as it was this year. No, he will fill up camp with the original Esteban Loiaza.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 10:23 PM) Great bunt by Pods. How can this hitting talent exist side-by-side with such an ugly-son defense. He's a typical White Sox!

Concede the run?

I find this scheduling odd. Why should a team be playing non divisional games and on the West Coast?
