fathom Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 21, 2010 -> 03:40 AM) Well.... at least Quentin is swinging the bat much better lately if there is a positive to take out of this. He's a slap hitter now. He doesn't hit anything really hard. Even that last out, he hit it well for him and it was a medium-depth fly ball.

ThunderBolt Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Great news everyone! The ground rule double is Hawk's excuse for the loss tonight. Peavy's coming out of this one clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend of Nordhagen Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2010 -> 10:40 PM) .400 baseball after 40 games!! We did it! We have the exact same record as the 1983 Winnin' Ugly guys before they won 99 games! We're going to be unbelievable the rest of the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I hope we don't hear how scoring 4 in the 8th will be a springboard to winning. Face it White Sox, you aren't good. Do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peavy's coming out of this one clean. Peavy gave it up tonight. Of course maybe if Jones acted like a major leaguer and not a contestant in the home run derby we might be looking at a win.

SoxAce Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 We knew guys like Konerko, Rios, Jones would come back down to earth. The other guys are not hitting their share however to off-set it. Quentin is comming around the last couple of games, I'll give him that. If the sox were smart, they would trade Jones ASAP while his value is high. This is the time he tailed off last year as well.

Peavy's coming out of this one clean. What was interesting was Stone and Hawk commenting on how little Peavy warmed up today. He gave up runs quickly. Maybe he was getting loose under the stands, but I would doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Who would you compare Peavy and his 5.7 ERA to right now? Not flaming, just asking. He's definitely getting hit. Who has Jake Peavy become? Once again, Sox play well enough to lose. We gots a last place team here, folks. KC is hot under Yost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can play all three OF positions, making 500K, so far hitting at a solid production.. KW won't have a problem getting a call for him right now.. that is of course if we keep waiting and he keeps dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sox would not get anything of value for him. It was very easy to forsee this drop as all he does is swing really hard and hope he makes contact.

greg775 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Jones is down to .230 and change I believe. I can't believe anybody would want him No. 1, and No. 2 what do we expect to get if somebody did take him? I mean be serious.The Cards may want him, but what would they give up? Some guy with no chance at sniffing the bigs I'd guess wouldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
