sox can has sweep
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.

now wasn’t it?

dn about the curve
that usually has to be in the zone. but i agree with the high heat.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
has to be above 93 though
not exactly the biggest hole. but still.

seriously, Swish has a high fastball problem
anyone know if this was an A’s thing too, or if it’s just started?

how the fuck did he manage to swing at that?
fuck you, that's my name!! you know why, mister? 'cause you drove a hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar bmw. that's my name!!
yeah, but that doesn't make it easy to lay off of
the high heat has long been a problem for hitters. this isn’t new.

is this the part where you explain to us how major league pitching is tough to hit?

SSH dominated the southwest suburban baseball scene for like twenty years.
he knows how to hit 98 mph fastballs. so shut the fuck up.
consecutive titles too

of course
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
In the 9th all 3 guys swung at the high heater and went down. As a pitcher though, I loved throwing that high fastball especially with a full count. A lot of guys would chase that and go down. To me, if he throws breaking balls on that 3-2 chances are 2 of the 3 if not all 3 are on base. I am always a believer in the high heat.
Vazquez really disappointed me today. I thought he was going to come out and have a good game. He pitched awful. Good news is Thornton was good out of the pen, hopefully he can continue that.
I am 28 years old for the record. Big series in Minnesota we need a split! Get it done boys.

Jorge De La Rosa dominated the the Reds in Cinci yesterday….sometimes stuff like that happens….
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.

did you seriously just do that?
you seriously just cited ERA. for a relief pitcher. who has thrown 14 innings. you just did that? god, you’re fucking stupid.
Oh, didn't realize he only threw 14 innings...
Take it easy on the personal attacks, old fella. And get back to jinxing the Cubs into a win.
well it wouldn't be so easy to lapse into if you'd take a breath or two
DO A LITTLE RESEARCH OMG

A new baby will do that to you.

so larry is right?
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
yeah, that was fucking stupid.
ERA? i mean, even if it wasn’t 14 innings, really? he’s a reliever. whip. k/9, k/bb. get with the program.
About what?
I saw three guys get into full counts and then swing at garbage pitchers. A team like the Red Sox probably scores three runs on his ass in the same situation. He was looking to walk people.
i don't think you've watched the red sox lately

You watched the game...
It looked like Rodney was trying to walk guys.
It was a terrible display by the offense to not get any baserunners in the inning.
Larry: "god, you’re fucking stupid."
if you say so
i just happen to remember how hard baseball is. you seem to have little appreciation for that fact.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
I think there's some confusion about probability
Like a good team (playing .575 ball !) should always whack a pitcher like Miner. Always is incorrect.
Or, a guy with a .330 OBP versus a guy with a +5ERA should always get a hit….

But is there really a lot say?
He’s been very bad, and that’s about it. I guess there’s the thin where you look at BABIP and line drive rate and decide whether he’s unlucky or not. But if IIRC those numbers look normal for Konerko….

one would think that someone with the title of "contributing author" would be able to figure out something to write about regarding a statement like "konerko last on the white sox in WPA"
and it wouldn’t necessarily have to focus on konerko. see? ideating is fun!
This is why the Yankees want Washburn...
In perhaps his last start for the Mariners, Jarrod Washburn hurled a gem against the Blue Jays on Sunday by allowing just one run in eight innings.
Washburn walked two, struck out two, and allowed four hits. The outing can only help the Mariners as they try to negotiate with the Yankees on a potential deal. Washburn has allowed two earned runs or less in eight of his last nine outings, though his ERA still stands at a mediocre 4.50.
His last 11 starts have been pretty good but he isn’t a guy that Kenny should be looking at.
Larry: "god, you’re fucking stupid."
2 BB / 2 K a gem?

Is a 4.50 RA mediocre in the AL?
There’s around 30 guys with qualified innings better than that….

due dilligence?
fuck that.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
Who cares?
Is he better than Rasner? Yes. Do the Yankees give two shits about money? No.
It may only be a minor improvement but it will be an improvement nonetheless.
Larry: "god, you’re fucking stupid."
One run in 8 innings is a gem to me...
If Hobby could do that lately we would have to change our boxers.
Larry: "god, you’re fucking stupid."
i didn't watch the game.
but one run in 8 innings with 2 Ks from a pitcher like washburn sounds a bit like luck to me.
long term you'd prefer washburn over javy?

Of course not...
but he better start earning his $11.5 million dollars soon.

did they come back or not?
i was just commenting on your posts, not on the cubs. i’ve got no idea what they’re doing.
i just hate that whole concept of "earning" your paycheck.
you did that when you signed the contract. and everyone who whines about how much pro athletes make need to buy some perspective. Normal Person X gets to do what he’s best at for 40 years to make a living. Random Athlete Y hopes to get to the big leagues, probably fails to do so, but if indeed he does not, he lasts 5 years and makes a couple hundred thousand per.

pre-AB blow jobs work, too
- Ozzie Guillen said that he was still sticking with Paul Konerko, but could move him further down in the order to “relax him.” 12 minutes ago
Good thing the Sox don't need any bullpen help...
“Logan, bullpen put on notice
Guillen wants to see more effectiveness from relievers”
Larry: "god, you’re fucking stupid."
who said they don't?

Ramirez says he won't object to any trade from Red Sox...
Manny Ramirez reportedly told ESPNDeportes.com that he’s open to a trade if the Red Sox wish to move him.
He didn’t make it sound as though he’s requesting one. “I don’t want to be a problem and a distraction to the Red Sox in such a critical moment of the season,” he said. “I want to help the team, even if that means I have to go.” Ramirez also indicated that he didn’t have any specific teams to which the Red Sox couldn’t trade him. “I don’t have any preferences: I could choose a team that offers me the best conditions or one in the chase for the postseason. I don’t care where I play, I can even play in Iraq if need be. My job is to play baseball,” he said.Source: ESPN Deportes

Today's Game
It is hard to sweep a team in their home park. However, I would have felt better if we had lost 2-1, or 3-2. Vasquez has GOT to be better with the stuff he has if we are to win.
Unfortunately, Konerko has lost his ability to hit, especially in the clutch. I don’t think we can blame his slump on an injury. I think it is wise to sit Konerko for a week and let Wise play center alternating with Anderson, and put Swisher at first. At least we add some speed and defense to the existing line up.
BIG ACQUISITION BY THE WHITE SOX!!!
Jason Tyner is playing for the Charlotte Knights, hehe.
Larry: "god, you’re fucking stupid."
There is no player in the history of baseball that I despise more than Jason Tyner.
Why so serious?

two out of three against
a team bang in form, that’s good non? I’m worried about Swi’thc’sher mind, I though he was getting into a groove but seems to have lost it again. I wish he could show a bit more consistency.
we lost today, but at least some pitchers got a rest.
I won’t be able to see the twins games, on far too late for me, butI’d take a split now if it were offered.
regards
Sox fan from England, marching on together
yeah you're pretty much right
check out the Sox record playing away from home. this is more than we might have expected imo. as far as Swish goes, his good luck has been almost non existent this year. like JD last year, really. i wouldn’t worry about it long term. it just sucks for him. he’s easy to root for and takes a great approach every at bat that it’s just too bad he can’t get some success working for him.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
Swisher would have more success...
if he didn’t whiff at every curveball over the plate and high fastball when he gets to two strikes.
Larry: "god, you’re fucking stupid."
so you're telling me he would have more success if he had less failure?
brilliant!
fuck you, that's my name!! you know why, mister? 'cause you drove a hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar bmw. that's my name!!
