Around SBN: Jim Irsay: We Can Make It Work With Peyton Manning

We're as close to exactly 1/4th of the way through the season as you can get. The Sox have finished 40 games, and have the official stats from 12 innings of another.

You know the drill by now... Click the link, toss in your input, and I'll make up a pretty chart.

Contrary to popular belief, the Qatar Pole is NOT in Doha.

Suggest including another field

that’s used for general comment with a strict/limited word count. It can’t be categorized or used for analysis, but it would be nice to look at more than just numbers.

Sure, Cheat. Edit at will so the 1st 4 responses make no sense now.

starting pitchers can't get no relief.

for everybody who feels bad when one of the sox starters misses out on a win due to a bad offensive showing or shoddy bullpen effort, check out the astros’ poor shawn chacon.

through 8 starts, he’s got a 3.53 era (119 era+) and eight no decisions. although the astros have ultimately gone 4-4 in those games, they’ve averaged 3.5 runs/game during the innings he’s actually pitched. he left one of the games after eight shutout innings with a three run lead. according to cnnsi, if he gets a ND in his next start he’ll be the first pitcher in major league history to start a season with nine consecutive NDs.

Seven Teams Have Monitored Freddy Garcia

[MLBTR]

According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, at least seven clubs have monitored Freddy Garcia’s progress: the Mets, Red Sox, Braves, Yankees, White Sox, Rangers, and Mariners.  It wouldn’t be surprising if even more clubs show up to watch Garcia throw when he is able to audition.  A midseason free agent has major appeal.  The Indians are one additional club rumored to have interest.

Garcia remains a mystery – we don’t know when he’ll be ready, how much money he’ll want, or how effective he’ll be.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Sweaty Freddy might be a decent option...

if Floyd finally self-destructs due to his poor peripherals, but we will still need the offense to show up to stay in competition for the division. Signing Fatolo Colon as a fall-back option would have been a better idea.

No Effin Way!

you of all people suggesting adding a selfish, dwindling skills player to the Sox? Phat Freddy MAY have some use as a 5th or long man in the NL, but none here.
