Kenny gets it
but he’s not going to pay out the ass for it. and he shouldn’t. and do you really want to see washburn here?
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
I don't see why he wouldn't pay the cost...
The Sox have made the playoffs two times in the past 7 years. You may as well go for when you have a shot.
i think they'll make it without the additions
and if there isn’t a Swisher sort of contract available, then you aren’t really helping the team. cost certainty on low risk and taking on risk for little money is how you compete. that’s the opposite of what you’re proposing, imo.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
can't give a dollar if he's only got 50 cents.
fields is the price. and, unfortunately, i don’t think it’s a good idea to pay that price with crede questionable. i thought he’d be able to get through at least one season without issues. wrong.
the back, she is a bitch

He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

I know we don’t have a ton to trade, but I’d be really surprised if KW doesn’t swing a starter somehow.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Maybe we'll find out at some point that Javy
had marital problems this year.
I can see keeping him in to save the bullpen for MN.
But in that case, I would yank the oldsters.

This is also
4 out of the last 5 years since leaving Montreal that Javy has put up an ERA in the 4.40-5 range. It’s possible last year was the exception to an otherwise 100 ERA+ pitcher. Either that or he sucks on teams that are competitors.
He was actaully good for 2 years -- half of 2006 through half of 2008
But he looks like toast now. It’s such a decline, you have wonder if he’s hurt.
If the Sox can get any sort of starter for Fields and Poreda (even a Washburnesque one), they have to make that trade.

Well, 2 reasons
1) Washburn’s season is actually headed in the opposite direction of vazquez—right now I’m not sure Washburn is worse.
2) The Sox have Richard in the rotation, and he is worse than Washburn

Hey, I was positive about Richard's start and Vazquez's last start
I think the Sox are a good team, but to me the pitching looks like it’s imploding—both starting and in the pen.
To hold off MIN and DET, I think the Sox need to trade…
I don’t think that makes me insanely pessimistic.

you're referring to the imploding pitching that managed to win two games against the tigers in detroit?
help me out, i’m having trouble with the math here. how are the tigers going to catch the sox doing that?
Are you using wins to measure pitching?
Obviously this series is a blow to DET and if the Sox ply .600 ball from here on out they are golden.
But the math in terms of runs allowed over the last 20 games has to be pretty bad (I don’t have the energy to look it up—feel free to prove me wrong if I am) and that’s without Floyd going critical like everyone is predicting (I’m actually optimistic he won’t). And the bullpen has to be a concern with Logan, Thornton, and Linebrink all having issues.
I’m concerned about the pitching—not jumping off a ledge.

but i honestly can't say i'm concerned about giving up 5 or 6 runs to the tigers.
remember when cc sabathia was horseshit in april and was done? remember when x didn’t perform for like three weeks and he was done?
this thing is getting magnified because it’s close to the deadline. step back and consider the whole picture.
larry is a big advocate of wins
the best pitching stat there is!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Let's see....Tigers don't have a great pen...
we finally get into it today….Zumaya has walked 15 in 16 IP…
and our first two hitters go out on 2 pitches
OK....so this sucks today...
but still a great weekend.
Emailed Josh Kalk
and he had the following to say about the cards and tool:
“The tool is about a month and a half old right now because it is a huge pain for me to update with the say my server has things setup. I’ll try to update shortly however as it is way out of date. The cards are up to date as of a few days ago so the differences you are seeing in pitch type is my algorithm changing it’s mind as more data comes in.”
So I might see if he’ll run a few Sox pitchers for me, but it looks like it should be relatively soon anyway.

Brewers looking to take 1st place today...
It still early but the Brewers lead the Astros 4-1 and the Marlins are beating the Cubs 5-0.
Ryan Braun is studly and Jason Marquis sucks worse than Hobby.
but i thought the cubs offense always comes back?
so confused… (mumbles something about sample size)
Not sure what I was thinking,
probably content with 2 from the Tigers.
FUCK THAT!
We need a rally!
Rally caps in place, men?
Pitching, defense and health.
I'd like to play matchmaker....
and fix up Konerko and Sheffield.
They seem to have a fair amount in common….declining superstars mired in slumps….very similar ‘08 stats…..could be a great fixup.

pitcher wasn't throwing meatballs
He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

GO INDIANS!!!
They are down 2-1 to the Twinkies but they now have runners at the corners with no outs. A Twins loss would be hot.
sexy you mean

Konerko at least shows you he cares when he makes an out
Announcer: [A fan] from Frederick, Maryland, wants to know why you don't go out and get some more team speed.
Weaver: Team speed, for Chrissake, you get BLEEP god damn little fleas on the bases getting picked off trying to steal, getting thrown out, taking runs away from you. You get them big BLEEP who can hit the BLEEP ball out of the BLEEP ballpark and you can't make any god damn mistakes.
