Williams and other Sox staffers would not elaborate on details of the investigation because it is ongoing. Williams wouldn’t say if financial improprieties were involved, but a source with knowledge of the probe said there were questions regarding the manner in which signing bonuses were distributed to Latin American prospects. Investigators were seeking to determine if Wilder and dismissed scouts Victor Mateo and Domingo Toribio were skimming from those bonus payments.http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/cs-080517-white-sox-fire-wilder-scouting-director,1,7373042.storyAn MLB investigator confirmed to the Tribune on Saturday that the probe involved skimming and that it currently is limited to the White Sox.
“There are probably others who have done it and there may be others who do it, but we don’t view it as widespread or organized in any way,” he said.
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
not that this is a good thing
but at least it’s not something that goes higher up.

Well, that was a little better than "nice"
That ball was almost past him. That was as good as a catch as he can make.
I took the "under".
We could use something different in our bats this inning
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Yes.
Do you suggest cork or bouncy balls?

I would not bet against you tonight
A guy whose wife is coming back to town is en fuego.

Shoulda been AJ hitting there
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Unfortunately...
Since Crede and Uribe are both out tonight, Ozuna has to play.

Joe's out?
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Aches and pains...
Guillen said that Crede wouldn’t be playing unless there was an emergency tonight, but he should be in tomorrow.

Look, our morbid offense and aging soft-tosser are both better better than yours, Giants! Take that!

I think all these RISP are kind of like threats.
Like saying to the Giants ‘we can have them if we want them, but we dont NEED them.’
"Walkie, you're doing a heck of a job."

That was 2006
at the GAB in Cincy. I was at the game (the whole series)—a sweep of the Reds. Garland’s was hit pretty freaking far. IIRC, it was a shot to left-center.
1st major league hit?
did I hear farmer correctly?

I don't know...
but that wasn’t Buehrle’s first career hit.

I'm not usually one for optimism.....
but there’s just something about Mark tonight…..he’s not going to blow this for us.
Gameday has that curve as right down the middle

pitch #2?
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
If so, they gave him the 2-0 as a make-up.

Well...
Winn hits about 90 points lower from the left side…..he’s 1-2 against Dotel lifetime…but strangely has 4 BBs.
Wait
Isn’t Dotel the one that gives up the GS in key relief situations?
No, couldn’t be him.

I haven't seen him pitch for awhile...
Farmer said he’s been lights out lately though. I think that GS was the last time I saw him.

My comment was looking ahead to the rest of the year.....
if we tearing the cover off the ball we’d be pretty jacked right now because of the pitching.
If we win we're in first
As I recall, we had a lot of close games in ‘05. A W is a W. String a few together and you got something.

a lot would have to go right the rest of the way, mainly that everyone would have to stay healthy.

2 runs given up by Sox pitching
in last 24 innings
16 of last 24 innings played against San Fransisco Giants
We should be up by 5
Although I must say I was surprised/impressed by Dotel there. Hope his inevitable injury doesn’t happen just as he’s getting good.
by MilwaukeeLefty on May 17, 2008 10:35 PM CDT reply actions
By the way...
I know we only saw what, four pitches there, but that’s the best fastball I’ve seen Oh Do Tell! (gosh do I hate when DJ does that—//shakes fist angrily). On the WGN gun it had him at 93 twice and 95 on the pitch that struck out Wynn, and my intuitive ‘gun’ says that was a legit 95.
Why did JD not do that with runners on earlier?
(Last AB, too.) Doesn’t like lefty soft-tossers?

An extra-base hit!
What do you know about that?
by The Jerry Royster Experience on May 17, 2008 10:37 PM CDT reply actions
And why not BA in center?
Is Nick’s bat really that great right now that we’re afraid to lose it?
If we don't put him in for Gavin's almost no-no
he ain’t gettin’ in tonight.

I've never noticed this before with the Sox....
but they seem very well positioned defensively in this series.
Ha..0-8 with 5KS...
THANKS FOR THE 2-0 TAKE ON THE FASTBALL DOWN THE MIDDLE!
All right...
I’m out of here.
Here’s hoping they hang on!

number of runs scored per game?
And how about this year so far....?

Why not vs. our runs allowed?

Also, since it's in the same general vicitnity as what we're talking about
the White Sox hit the most fly balls in the AL. So there really is something to the cold weather issue, fwiw. The pitching is giving up the fewest HR/FLY in the AL, which probably means that it’s just been tough to hit the ball out of the Cell in the early months.
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
really? that doesn't sound right
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
probably not, just because he's got a 2 run lead and the Giants' offense is less than good
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
i've been a real jinx lately
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Yeah 92mph gas Hawk...
great location though!
Gameday has those fastballs right around 90
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
The pitch had some movement, though
it wasn’t a straight four-seamer. He also seems to be throwing another pitch tailing away from righties (cutter?).
yeah it very well could be. he was really painting the corner with it.

stoney mentioned it a while ago

woooooooooo!
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
As of the same date last year, the Sox were 20-17
but had a -13 run differential. This year we’re 22-20 and are +25. So instead of being lucky to be over .500, we’re unlucky to have just 22 wins.
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
I think you had more than you thought.
Check those #s again.
Pitching and defense.
Bullpen is lights out.
What a difference a year makes.
Dotel walking off the mound tonight doesn’t look anything like a major league baseball player. Give him a super fly hat and those babes dancing on that Lotto commercial and, ......like wow.
