Watching Freddy Garcia pitch is painful.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 02:32 PM) I don't understand this statement. We have been inconsistent all year long. What would change in the post season when we face the opposing team's best pitchers? A team with Peavy, Buehrle, Floyd and Danks as their four starters in the post season is always going to be a threat to make a deep run.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:28 AM) I hate this thread. Let's not pick on Beckham or Quentin who went 0-fers. Let's pick on teh guy who managed to get on third and had a brain fart. Sure, he was on base twice tonight, with two hits, which is two more than Beckham or Quentin, or 1 more than Rios, Thome, AJ, or Alexei, but let's get pissed at Scott Podsednik. His OBP is only the THIRD HIGHEST ON OUR ENTIRE TEAM of those who played tonight. But screw him. You're right, he's worthless... He has been picked off 7 times already, and that doesn't count the times he has been picked off but got lucky and was safe at 2nd. It isn't a brain fart, he is absolutely horrendous on the base paths. And a .350 OBP is the absolute minimum you should accept from your leadoff man, especially when they don't hit for power, are horrendous on the base paths, and are bad defensively. He has helped us this year because he replaced Wise and Anderson who are truly terrible baseball players. But lets not pretend Pods is actually a good player.

Terrible defensively, worst base runner in baseball and a mediocre hitter at best. This guy is our "MVP", GTFO. He has been picked off 7 times this year and gets picked off at 3rd base with less than 2 out tonight. Pathetic.

Podsednik is the worst base runner in baseball. f***ing moron.

Chat tonight?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 05:11 PM) Podsednik cf Beckham 3b Dye rf Thome dh Konerko 1b Pierzynski c Quentin lf Ramirez ss Getz 2b Quentin really needs to be moved up in the order.

QUOTE (CQMVP @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 12:32 AM) Why do we need to do that? Move Pods to LF, Quentin to RF, and Rios to CF. Let Dye sit. He's been absolutely terrible since the All-Star Break, and looks like he needs a rest. Dye could use a couple of days off but he is still a vastly superior player to Pods. Pods has done an average job getting on base, but he brings nothing else to the table. He is a terrible defensive player and he has been horrendous on the base paths. 17 SB to 9 CS, plus he has been picked off 6 times. That is embarrassing.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 11:17 PM) And where would that be? In CF for our "MVP".

Besides a couple cool scenes, GI Joe was a terrible movie. Poorly acted, and the script was really bad. And really the CGI wasn't that good either.

Nice job by Buehrle getting out of that.

Nix has turned into the worst defensive player in baseball lately.

Dominique Ferguson to FIU to play for Isaiah Thomas. What a great way to ruin a career.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:39 AM) Currently at 41% at Rotten Tomatoes. And that number has been falling rapidly. And they've withheld the movie from a lot of critics so you know the movie is going to suck.

Trailer for Tron Legacy is online and is freaking sweet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6jfm0hq0bk...feature=related

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 02:56 PM) I guess Ventura's and Crede's defense at 3rd spoiled me, but good lord Gordon Beckham is an absolute butcher at the hot corner. He has been terrible. But it can't be easy to learn a difficult position on the fly in the major leagues.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 02:09 PM) Carlos Gomez absolutely owns us. Just pull Buehrle and save him a few meaningless innings. His change-up is the worst I've ever seen from him today. We are the only team in baseball that can't get him out.

http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/20...ees_to_6ye.html Worst contract ever?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 08:13 PM) I thought that the original Transformers was equally as cheesy and hectic. I am disappointed that they couldnt clean up the rough edges of the first movie and deliver a superior film. The action scenes were awesome, but yet again there were times I couldnt tell what the heck was going on because of how close he likes to bring the action to the camera. The racist robots and testicle shot didnt bother me, and the humping dogs and robots were dumb, but I am not going to jump and scream about them. I wonder what someone like Nolan would do with something like the Transformers series. Michael Bay is a talentless hack. The racist robots weren't funny at all, and added nothing to the plot. The movie was ok I guess but I certainly have no desire to ever see it again.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 12, 2009 -> 08:00 AM) Orlando is a missed layup and a missed FT from being up 3-1. Orlando blew it. They've definitely been right there with LA. Orlando has actually outplayed the Lakers in this series. They just have choked at crucial times.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 09:50 PM) No, it wasn't an easy shot, and now Redick is taking his place as the scapegoat, horrendous set of plays for Redick. JJ Redick has no business playing in OT of an NBA finals game.

QUOTE (RibbieRubarb @ May 30, 2009 -> 11:04 AM) UP can truly be considered one of Pixar's best, if not one of the best of the year so far. Most recent live action romantic movies wish they has the emotional whalop in 90 minutes that UP has in its first 10. It is a glorious, thrilling adventure full of incredible images and characters that will delight any kid and adult. It is also one of the funniest films of the year. It is really a major achievement. Plus... Before the film is the teaser for Toy Story 3 which got the biggest applause from the audience last night See it in 3-d or 2-d...it doesn't matter. Just go see it. I can't wait to see UP tonight. No other movie studio is even close to Pixar when it comes to quality. Pixar animation>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dreamworks animation.

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 25, 2009 -> 07:51 PM) Actually, I'd say Pods has been doing his best job leading off for us since 2005. And as the other poster stated, Pods is sadly the best option we have for a leadoff hitter. I'd be shocked if Chone Figgins isn't wearing a white sox uni next year. So a guy with a .300 on base percentage who is getting picked off on almost a daily basis along with other base running mistakes is our best option. Really?

Note to George Karl, have someone who is a good passer inbound the ball in late game situations you moron.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 21, 2009 -> 05:56 PM) Sounds like Lance Broadway might have been another member of the deal. We won't know, but I do know he wouldn't have been able to be officially listed as a PTBNL. Below is a blurb from the Trib Interesting, now I don't know if I'm more disappointed in not getting Peavy or not getting rid of Broadway.
