knightni Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Lillibomb is my MVP since the winning streak started. Too bad they will be sending him to AAA for Teahen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Lilli has to stay because if one of Beckham/Ramirez couldn't go, Vizquel has no back up. And no I don't think Mark Teahen will ever play 2B/SS for the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) What are you bringing to this team again Mark Kotsay? FEAR THE LILLIPAD Edited August 1, 2010 by Cali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I've loved his approach all year. Look fastball, hit it hard. He's got a completely different mentality than he did last year. He's looking for line drive singles and doubles, not home runs. Good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) Haha the Stealth Elf, love it. He's definitely improved his approach at the plate a thousand fold this season, it's actually enjoyable to watch him hit now. I just wish we'd keep him and DFA Kotsay when the time comes for that decision. Edited August 1, 2010 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets under my skin that every time I call a player a name anything other than their birth name 3-4 people comment "Such a dumb name" "stop calling him that" "give it up". Yeah, THAT gets under my skin because it's annoying. Don't like any of the nicknames i say? Great, sounds like it's pretty easy thing to ignore. I ignore every time I see the "Klutchsay" nickname. I think it's pretty dumb, but you know what, if it makes that person happy to say it, then that's fine, I don't need to start a fight.

I would have called him the same thing during the game today after his 3-run triple had I been at my computer at the time. If using his nickname is "my schtick" then fine, I'll be using "my schtick" all year with Hot Fire, The Bridge, Q-uperman, G-Force, and any other nicknames I may start using this year.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) I think you guys ride Coolman a little bit too hard. So he likes Hot Fire , there's no harm in that. I still like calling Tank Hollywood in the best Chris Berman tradition of nicknames. But I know it won't stick because Tank fits him much better . Lillibridge's swing on the triple reminded me a lot of Konerko's swing when he goes to right . It was short and sweet .
