MiddleCoastBias Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 26, 2010 -> 10:43 PM) We have a drawer full of those cowbells from the 2008 season and postseason. I want to melt them down so my family doesn't ring them in my face when my Sox suck arse against their Rays. Melt them down into the form of the World Series trophy as a constant reminder. What's better, cowbells and mohawks or World Series trophy and rings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Rangers lost today. Looks like they're giving up a decent amount of runs. But we're running into their two best pitchers so far in Harden and Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Zelig Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 27, 2010 -> 12:35 AM) Who is this Wilson fellow? CJ Wilson, he has been a reliever/closer the past couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 26, 2010 -> 10:11 AM) We have a long history with Wilson (and also Padilla, although he's gone now finally)...he made quite a few comments that really got the White Sox riled up when he was in their bullpen. What did he say exactly? Maybe it was somehow connected to the Sean Tracey incident, or a separate one? Not really a long history at all. Just was last year actually.. he showed up Konerko (and I forgot the other two hitters) at the plate when he came in with the bases loaded (0 outs). After he struck out Kong, he put both hands in the air like "you can't touch me" sort of way which was the last out. (the other hitter he pointed to the bench and told him to sit down after he K'd him, don't remember what he did to the other guy) I remember Cooper, Quentin, etc.. just starred him down when the Rangers celebrated after their win and ironically enough, Quentin takes him deep a month or two later.

Probably because he stunk his last stint in the majors. Went to Japan and did good and the Rangers gave him a lot of money considering the economy and the problem f/a's have had.

Marc hulet who is also from fangraphs thinks otherwise. xFIP has him at 3.87 so far and tERA at 4.14. I think he could definitely be a pitcher around there. He's averaging 10 Ks/9.

Interesting. Shocked that Teahen is sitting. He's been one of our hottest hitters, not to mention he doesn't have that many ABs as it is. (the lowest on the team as far as starters) Surprised Q is starting, but I guess the off day might help him. Rios batting 5th.. praise the gods!! He and/or Teahen (if Oz wants his lefty) would be ideal there. Edited April 27, 2010 by SoxAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 With AJ hitting as he is, I sort of get playing Lucy. But why sit Teahen here, when he's got a good bat going? Makes no sense to me, unless Teahen is nursing an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Wilson has given up 1 XBH all year and it was a double. Ozzie is playing righties against him because they hit him better.
