Dome Shutout (See: Sonnanstine, Andy or Marcum, Shaun)

The White Sox have been shut out 9 times this season, 5 of which have come in domes. Kevin Slowey became the latest speed-changing, control artist righty to baffle Sox hitters in the climate controlled environment.
I feel like I should be able to come up with a lot more to say after a nearly two week absence, but really, how much more is there to say? We've seen it all before.

Linebrink looking at longer DL stint: White Sox relief pitcher hoping to return in mid-August
The return of Scott Linebrink to the White Sox active roster might take a little longer than his current stint on the disabled list, according to comments made by the right-handed setup man on Monday.http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080728&content_id=3215755&vkey=news_cws&fext=.jsp&c_id=cws“I’m hoping mid-August,” Linebrink said. “We’ve already pretty much wasted a week in July. So middle of August will be a good three weeks, and hopefully it’s not too much longer.
“When you talk about not touching a ball for seven days, that’s half of it right there. I don’t think once we do start playing catch, I don’t see a week later me being on the mound or in a game.
“It probably will be a couple of weeks of a throwing program and a bullpen,” Linebrink added. “They might want me to go on a rehab assignment. It all depends how I look when I start throwing [bullpens].” ...
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

the sox did not get a runner past second base. two errors. konerko o-fer. hawk bitching about calls
indeed, unfortunately, we’ve seen this all before.

That's pretty dumb of Liney to say
It puts the Sox behind the 8 ball in trade talks. I wish he would have just stayed quiet. And if it takes him a week of being shut down then another 2 weeks to “work back strenght’ I think we should temper expectations for him going forward healthwise. That sounds like a player not confident in his health.
I mean, how often does a reliever take one week off and not be ready to go after throwing side sessions 3-4 times the next week?

I think odds are Linebrink will not pitch effectively for the Sox this season
They’ll be lucky if they get something out of him during the rest of his contract. The usual response is that everything is OK and it should just be 15 days (see Crede) even when it’s more serious. The fact that Linebrink thinks it’s more serious is telling.

Konerko is pretty much worthless…
Ramirez continues to make stupid errors on routine plays…
DFA Masset. He is trash…
Span with his first career homerun…
Redmond continues to make Buehrle his little bitch…
Great game.
Fucking Cubs just won a game that Sabathia started. Meanwhile, Kevin freaking Slowey gets a complete game shutout against the Sox.

dj was very very down on him as well. he actually went so far as to be critical about how konerko took ball one.
my guess is paulie as the “introspective, self-defeating, mental case” is all bull shit. the guy probably models himself after mj and walks around in mink furs in th middle of the summer while smoking chopped up Chinese children rolled up one hundred dollar bills.

Can I have some help please?
I’ve worked out from Swishers stats that his BABIP is low .262, and we should expect more production out of him once he hits the expected (around .290) average). The line drive / fly ball / ground ball rates I’m less sure about, what should I be looking to find from looking at these figures?
any help is very much appreciated.

Cubs fans accused of beating White Sox fan
The Associated Press
8:31 PM CDT, July 28, 2008
HUNTLEY, Ill. – McHenry County authorities say three Chicago Cubs fans face felony battery charges after allegedly beating a Chicago White Sox fan so badly he lost his right eye.The men are accused of beating 32-year-old Robert Steele of Gurnee during a 2-year-old girl’s Sesame Street-themed birthday party.
Police said Monday the men were drinking alcohol at the July 19th party and taunting Steele.
They say Steele was kicked in the head and his nose was broken. He stayed several days at an Elgin hospital.
Thirty-one-year-old Jaroslaw Czapla, 37-year-old Boguslaw Czapla and 33-year-old Maciej Trojnar face mob action and aggravated battery charges.
Jaroslaw Czapla’s number is unlisted. There were no listings for Boguslaw Czapla or Trojnar.

Mid-summer, and our pitching is regressing to normal,
our older guys are hurt, and our defense is becoming more as we expected pre-season. Does anyone remember that in March almost no one thought we’d be here (as in, first place) at this stage of the season? Ah, the curse of raised expectations.
If PK can unwrap his Eeyore ears from his eyes and start hitting even an .800 OPS, if one of the minor-league call-ups can help tide us over until Count/Javy straighten out, we’ll be OK.
Until then, strap it on, boys. We’re playing who we need to be playing to create distance. If we can’t beat them we don’t deserve the post-season.

Pitching is coming back to earth, but...
The starting staff’s FIPs are all lower or about equal to their ERA, except for Javier whose ERA is about a run higher, and Floyd, whose ERA is, wait for it:
1.5 runs lower. Although not “due” for a rise in any technical sense of the word, he is likely to not post a 3.67 ERA the rest of the way, and it should be closer to his 5.00 FIP.
I think the time is here to sell high on Floyd, flip him for prospects or a costlier (but better) veteran.
I think that Richard will perform about the same of Floyd from here on out. KW knows more about the health of Count then we do, if he thinks he’s healthy then be all means get rid of Floyd while his value is high.

Probably...and I like Alexei
There’s a reasonable chance he could play an average SS defensively and post a .700 OPS for $1M a year. I know that’s valuable. But given his plate discipline, we could be seeing his peak season right now. I don’t like the idea of the Sox going into next season without a SS or 2B, but I’d like them to make the playoffs this season more.

Ramirez
is a much better SS, than 2B. From all accounts (mainly Steve Stone) he is their best defensive SS. You don’t trade him for anyone that is available at the deadline right now.

There's no way Ramirez is the Sox best defensive SS
Cabrera has been very good defensively this season. Uribe hasn’t played enough for me to know how much glove he has left but it was excellent in the past.
Stone also raved about Masset

What is better
my opinion that Ramirez has played SS his entire career and this year he started playing CF and then switched to 2B, both not his natural positions. We have seen flashes of brilliance at 2B which isn’t his natural position, therefore one would expect him to be much above average defensively at SS.
Or Stone and Farmers take?

Trading Ramirez makes no sense
Even if he comes back to like a 275/310/425 line he’s still a cheap young position player that can play multiple positions well and gives some pop with the bat.
He’s teh sort of player this team needs more of, not less.
by madvillian on Jul 29, 2008 10:55 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah but 2B is only position the Sox have a semblance of depth
Uribe, Getz, and the Frenchman would have some hope of playing above replacement level. And I think Ramirez could bring back more than Fields.
It does unfortunately seem rather stupid, but I really think the Sox need another SP. And a good one. I don’t see how else they might pick one up.

I sort of liked that the Sox would get him for 2009 as well.And I’m biased by the fact that every time I saw him pitch before this year he looked great.
But you are right, I’m probably picturing Duch as the kind of guy I want the Sox to get even though he’s not.

It’s pretty hard to find a 26 year old SS with his abilities, and I would see no reason to think he’s peaking when he’s only improved as time goes on. If anything I would assume his plate discipline would improve somewhat over time as he gets older, it’s not like it can get worse.
Texeria is the only real solid name out there right now and he plays the same position as Konerko and is gone after two months so that’s obviously not ideal.
If Halladay does actually become available though, I say give them whatever the hell they want and make it happen.

Exactly
What the hell could we trade for him? I suppose we could trade Chelexi, but as pointed out above, would that really make the team better? I don’t see that trade as being beneficial for Kenny’s 3 and 5 year boards either, but I suppose the plus side would be getting draft picks.
Maybe Egbert and some other people could be sent to Toronto, but I really have no idea who it would take to get Burnett or Halladay. I was more or less saying that if you had the chance to make a reasonable trade for a starter, it would be better to go for someone that will have a larger positive impact that Ducheramalinglong.

that between Aug. 21 and Sep. 21 the Twins play 24 of 30 games on the road. The W. Sox do go to the Terror Dome the last week of the season, but if the Sox can hold close to the Twins for the next 3 weeks, they should pick up ground on the Twins when they head to the road.

When I read SSS after a W,every thing I read is positive and full of praise. But we lose one game and it becomes a whiny bitchfest.Man up.Don’t be a pussy. Anyone can be a good winner.

institute a 12-hour wait after a tough loss. No comments during the cooling-down period..
