they don't like lefties.
obviously anything could happen in baseball, but if these two pitchers are on today, this could be a 2-1 affair.
If there's a baseball equivalent to "never fight a land war in Asia," Vizzini might tell us "never buy the decline years of a player."
true, but injuries
thats what happens when
OF Buck/Gonzalez
DH Thomas
1b/DH Sweeney
3b Chavez
SS Crosby
thats why half of their AAA lineup is out there

but you’re right.
If there's a baseball equivalent to "never fight a land war in Asia," Vizzini might tell us "never buy the decline years of a player."
When the Mariners begin their search at the end of the season to replace recently-fired GM Bill Bavasi, Rick Hahn’s name will be on the list of executives they’ll want to get permission to interview. While Hahn might have a low profile as the White Sox’s assistant GM under Williams, he is well known in baseball circles. The Pirates and Cardinals both approached Hahn about their GM vacancies last fall, but he turned down their overtures to stay with the White Sox, while also getting a raise from owner Jerry Reinsdorf.
Williams figures to eventually lose Hahn, though. “He’s probably overqualified to be a GM,” Williams told the Chicago Tribune. “Rick is one of the smartest people I know, and one of the most prepared people you’ll ever find. There are a lot of people who have those qualities, but the management skills aren’t equal, and (he has) the personality to deal with all the many personalities that you find in the game. The day he becomes a general manager is the day my job will become a lot harder.”
Hahn, though, isn’t itching to leave the White Sox, and insists he would only leave for the right job. “The fact is, last offseason I gave Jerry and Kenny my word that I would only leave the Sox for a handful of specific opportunities that make the most sense for my family,” Hahn said. “So, barring something unforeseen, they’re stuck with me for a little while longer.”

I can't see him wanting the Mariners job
Seattle has a more meddlesome ownership than Pittsburgh.

I think Danks could do well against a 100% healthy A's lineup...
but that has got to be the worst lineup that the A’s have had to field in years.
is this a hoodlight impression?
because it got a laugh out of me.
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!!

i love john danks. when people in america say they love a bloke, does it mean they want to have a hump with them? i wish cowley would stop twittering my wife. that’s girlfriend over here. another difference between our countries.

i noticed the sox are wearing alternative caps again.
why must they go with different kits again? it disrupts the equilibrium. one must never disrupt the team’s equilibrium. how do i stop this cowley’s twitter of my wife at all hours?

Kinda surprised by Crede since his numbers have taken a dump the past two to three weeks.
they've already been announced to certain writers and the list is floating about the internet. probably true.

Well, in his defense...
Farmer didn’t actually say that. Just guessing at what he is saying on the radio right about now.
harden's velocity appears down.
low 90s?

there is this thing called "movement" SSH
some pitchers kind of have good movement. makes pitches look closer than they end up.

Nice to get a run...but perhaps just as important is that
Harden threw 31 pitches.
Man, I hate MLB.tv
And the GD commercial breaks that tell me over and over again what I’m watching.

The Bulls have guards spilling out of their collective anus...
They can afford to lose Duhon and trade Gordon.
I wish defense was the biggest problem...
Problem is, they are all midgets trying to play the two-guard.
defense is the problem when 'midgets' try to play the 2. bg doesn't have any problem scoring at his height.

Thanks for this incisive commentary!
How do you feel about DeWayne Wise’s out at second though? Focus!

for showing up for “maybe 2 days” of a camp that bears his name, but I suspect that’s better than average for most similar camps

I can't wait till Kornerko is back...
It’s going to be funny watching both Ramirez and Kornerko range back for pop-flies like that. Ramirez will get there 10 times as fast as Paulie.
Did I miss an inside joke
everyone’s calling him Kornerko

Crede, Quentin named to All-Star team
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
I thought it would be Quentin, Dye, and Floyd...
Danks deserves it over Floyd but wins seem to mean more than ERA in the All-Star selection process.
They only took four starters
Joe Saunders got hosed more than Floyd. 12 wins, 3.04 ERA and 40 more innings than Kazmir.
Never trust a big butt and a smile.

Never mind, I misread the order.
Santana and Saunders were surrounded by relievers on the roster.

well we all remember how tired the Palehose were after playing in October of 05
No need to play them any more then they absolutely have to

Dye is one of the five AL candidates to be selected as part of the Monster 2008 All-Star Game Final Vote. He is joined by New York’s Jason Giambi, Kansas City’s Jose Guillen, Tampa Bay’s impressive rookie Evan Longoria and Baltimore’s Brian Roberts.http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080706&content_id=3076601&vkey=news_cws&fext=.jsp&c_id=cws

It wasn't really close because the throw was offline a bit...
but it wasn’t exactly “no chance” either.
There was a legitimate reason Alexei got himself thrown out at second there
we just don’t know what it is yet
