So much for...

Alexei Ramirez being handed the starting job.

I guess that 0-for-4 by Cabrera wowed Guillen and confirmed his role as leadoff man extraordinaire.

Just returned from great day golfing.

I see from all the post the White Sox season is over and they have no chance. I must have missed the memo. I also didnt realize that someone had run away with the division and that (insert team) was a supremely talented team asserting its great strength with no flaws.

Okay I feel better.

I don't ever remember saying...

that this team was a contender.

They’re better than I thought they would be, but they’re still a .500 team at best, and that’s if everyone stays healthy.

Okay Jerry

We wont get into that tired argument again as the season will play out. My statement was regarding the silence when they finished up a successful 1st month. You wil be silent again when the team plays better.

Even in a 6 game losing streak I feel comfortable this team is better than last years and will definitely finish above .500 with health. The one recent question no one ever answers is what team in the supposed tough AL Central, which really isnt that tough will exactly be running away with it.

by Tdogg on May 6, 2008 6:36 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Apparently you didn't get the memo

It was handed out last night at our group therapy session, which you missed again!

Here’s the run down of how “running away with the division” is defined by both the sports writers of america and our own collection of SSS uber-freak out jockeys

Month – Games Ahead
1 1
2 2
3 2.5
4 3
5 3
6 2

So you will see that if a team wins the division by 2 games or more, sportswriter hindsight will tell you that they ran away with the division.

And, if you didn’t realize this – OMIGOD, THE TWINS ARE RUNNING AWAY WITH THE DIVISION RIGHT NOW.

EVERYBODY FREAK OUT!!!!!!

speaking of extra outs

has anyone else noticed that buerhle is not having anywhere near the success he’s had in previous years pitching around bad defense/extra outs? it felt like he used to always pick the team up when they screwed up, but this year it seems to always lead to runs and actually a few blowup innings.

Question:

How is it possible that neither Mauer or Young have hit homeruns yet?

gonna out-energy a lot of guys, simply by over-attituding them

voodoo?

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

Question

Why is that an earned run? I thought if there is an error made, and 2 outs occur, any runs after that is unearned. No?

by JoeCoolMan24 on May 6, 2008 8:06 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

gameday has it unearned

Repeat after me: reading comprehension, even a little bit of thought before posting, and basic research are not signs of weakness.

Nevermind

Gameday just changed it. They orginally had it listed as an earned run, but changed it. Droped .26 off his ERA! WhooH!

by JoeCoolMan24 on May 6, 2008 8:08 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yes, because ERA, not wins, is what matters.

Twins announcers are saying,

while watching the Sox take batting practice, it is easy to see why they lead the league in homeruns, the entire practice was simply swinging for the fences not trying to hit the opposite way or practice batting skills.

See what happens when guys get on base? Problems.

Much cleaner with no runs, no hits, and just lots of walks. No injuries.
