Wise gets the start in CF, Crede batting 8th...
Otherwise, the usual suspects.
When she farts, a little rainbow comes out...
Swisher gets the day off.
I think it should be Konerko getting as much time off as possible, but what do I know?

is this “be nice to career minor leaguer called up for a week day”?

judging by what i've seen so far
yes. and i was getting more to him batting 7th.

Oh, I don't know why he's batting ahead of Crede either.

i'm sure it's so ozzie can utilize his speed higher in the order
of course, there’s a couple roadblocks ahead of him so that plan probably won’t work, either.

Meh.
Uribe started his rehab assignment yesterday, and Richar started his the other day. I guess they want to get a look at Wise to see if he’s worth keeping around once one or the other of those guys come back.
I’d rather they keep Wise than Pablo, for instance.

the sweep has already been avoided, so I don't get it either...
When she farts, a little rainbow comes out...
Cabrera has raised
his BA to .246 from near .200, as well as Ozzie’s ire.
Send him down. He's finished

What is the principle that something changed just becase it is being observed?
I think stanchar’s “contrarian” index is kaput – too much pub. Guys are betting on the “stanchar uncertainty principle” now.
Need a new, improved indicator. How about a “larry ball chafing index”? (Sorry, but I am such a kid.)

It’s a good thing that they didn’t use Masset yesterday – he’s in for 4-5 innings of work today.
by The Jerry Royster Experience on May 28, 2008 11:23 AM CDT reply actions
He is gonna blow right by that one if he plays.
I would have thought it was higher than 13 though. I guess its a littler harder to turn 2 from RF with the shift.
if he plays
at this point, the sox have to make absolutely sure he doesn’t get the PAs to make his option kick in for next year, whether you think it’s a dick move or not. $13M for this would be terrible.
can they rework the deal in midseason?
So, could they tell Thome they’d like to Platoon him, but in exchange they’ll give him more money this year (5-6 mil) since that means he won’t hit his PA for the vesting option next year?
if he's still hitting like this in July
the justification for the bench is there.
I find it hard to believe that he wont come out of this, but he just looks horrible. He’s not even drawing walks (3 in the last two weeks).
Mosi Tatupu! Mosi Tatupu!
By my calculations
he’d have to have 668 PA’s this year to earn that guaranteed option. That’s more than he’s ever had in his career
he needs 1100 combined in 07-08
he got 536 last year, so he needs 564 this year. He’s already got 195.
I think he’d have to miss about 20-25 games NOT to get it.
Mosi Tatupu! Mosi Tatupu!
PAs not ABs
he needs 1,100 total in 07-08. he had 536 last year in 130 games. he’d need 564 this year. if he doesn’t go on the DL or get platooned significantly, he’ll get there.
dammit, nordhagen just scooped me. oh well, i’m posting anyway.
would we be paying all 13
isn’t philly picking up something?
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
it may also have something to do
with the fact that historically he strikes out a lot. the less balls you put in play, the less gidp.

So...
will it be a Cabrera GIDP followed by a Pierzynski pop-up, or the other way around?

A good manager...
like Mike Scioscia, would be making a call to the press box right now.

as opposed to what, selling them?
"Let's assume that Kenny is still convinced that the White Sox can compete in 2008, which seems to be a good assumption. Apparently, Kenny thinks that Rowand would be a better acquisition than (Andruw) Jones to compete in 2008. My main point is that Kenny is a moron and this proves it."

What "base" would that be in, WU?
Pitching, defense and health.
Sorry guys following on Gamecast...
Did ARAM get hurt?
he got dinged up on the play at the plate in the fifth...maybe aggravated it scoring on aj's double.

When he stepped into the box
I thought to myself “don’t walk.” It’s a mid-90’s Thomas situation right now.

and you occasionally say things like...well, read my current signature.

Quite the judicious one today - "occasionally" is generous
and you could’ve reamed me for my Sonnanstine mistake (though you did misspell it) and didn’t. “Scared straight” today?
I took the "under".
well, only occasionally wrong to that degree with a grand pronouncement.

More like a "Thomas Lite"...
situation. Quentin’s not nearly as good as Thomas was.

Understood
I was just referring to the situation where you got to the point where you hated to see him walk with men on base because you didn’t know how those guys were going to get home otherwise…
AIM: SouthSideCheat
Yeah - he's hot
so why pitch to him? I called him our “Bonds” last week – do I think he’ll hit 756+ homers? No, but he’s the only one on the team you don’t want to face in any crucial situation. Same with the “Frank” comparison.
I took the "under".
why give away outs?
when you can barter them.

Yeah....stupid decision not to walk Q...
before and after the fact.
My script...
Boone starts the 7th….then Dotel…then Thornton…then Liney…then Bobby…not in the same inning of course…
Ugh.
That lead was nice while it lasted, too.

Lead off walks. IIRC, are not good.
Pitching, defense and health.
unless you like excitement
the tension is appalling.

Just saw your, signature Larry.
1. VG.
2. It’s a long season .
3. I am the genius who said “Bear Stearns at $3.10 is the greatest short in history.”

i know
they’re not likely to win 89. i just think the quote is funny.

I don't get why Sizemore faced Dotel....
and not Boone or Thornton.

How about a steal attempt before the bunt, Wedge?

To Chiburb on SAC (strategy-wise)
Pitching, defense and health.
thanks
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Well, it wasn't
Pretty but we will take it, won’t we?
Why can every other team or player execute a good sacrifice bunt except us?
Because Juan Uribe is too fat.
