Such a busy day!!
where is AEG to recap everything?
in the meantime…
nice to see Crede dropped behind Swisher, at least against a RHP.
Other than that, be sure to sign Pablo’s “guest book”. His wife and kids will appreciate it.

Jenks headed for DL
White Sox closer Bobby Jenks is headed to the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 30, as a precautionary measure.http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports_hardball/2008/07/jenks-headed-fo.htmlJenks played catch without any pain Tuesday but said he felt uncomfortable after trying to throw off a mound in the a Kauffman Stadium bullpen. He expressed no qualms about going to the DL and plans to be ready for the second half on July 18.
The Sox will make a corresponding move, perhaps as soon as late Tuesday night. Manager Ozzie Guillen emphasized he wants to carry 12 pitchers.
Wet weather could put the game with Kansas City in jeopardy.
Meanwhile, players were surprised to learn Pablo Ozuna was designated for assignment. Guillen said Juan Uribe’s ability to start at three positions (third base, second base and shortstop) gave him more value.
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

What the hell is this "players were surprised" crap?
Who was surprised and why? That’s veiled bias against Uribe, imo. Anyway, this sucks for Bobby, but it’s definitely as good a time as any with the Royals on the docket, plus it’s retroactive to the 30th.

or "bias" against someone else on the bench...
of course, i’m not sure players themselves pay all that much attention to roster machinations like we do. i bet most of them have no clue about the rules regarding assignments, waivers, etc. they may just have not given this much thought.
by larry on Jul 8, 2008 6:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
any time i was on a team, we all knew who sucked and who was good
seems like if the worst player got cut, it wouldn’t surprise. and i’m betting they know what a DFA is. that’d be a death knell for a career.

So they all knew you sucked? Is that what you're saying?
The RF to LF things are symmetrical statement makes a whole lot of sense to me now, Mr. Poopy Pants.
;)
His most recent E5, botching a sure double play, was classic, as was his recent Dybzynski moment – pinch-running, then quickly getting picked off.

alright. so much for me and gonzales reading the tea leaves.
should be interesting to see who gets the call. got a spot on the 40. i’d like to see carrasco personally. but you gotta think that, for such a short stretch, a wassermann or loaiza or someone else already on the 40 will get the call.

Wassermann is my guess...
Loaiza is still only throwing in the low 80’s, last time I heard.
by SSH2005 on Jul 8, 2008 6:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah. wassermann would make the most sense.
but i wonder if the sox will just want to get loaiza up here to take a close look at him (i’d question whether the guy who gets called up will pitch in more than a game, maybe even if that, barring the unforeseen seventeen inning affair or something). they’ve been aggressively using him in charlotte to start games and then send in the true “starter” after a couple innings. he’s either going to show it or not. at any rate, very minor move.

although it should be said that Pablo getting DFA’d and the Harden trade have about zero impact on the Sox in both the long and short term. so it looks like we’re just frickin’ addicts.

they should transfer Jenks
how many big fat bastards in their 20’s have you ever known to become less fat and more fit as they get older, or at least stop putting weight on. If he maybe went for a bike ride or a run, he would be able to throw the ball a bit faster.

more guillen from cowley
Guillen also said that, no, Uribe does not have pictures of Guillen, so fans should stop e-mailing the manager about that. 36 minutes ago
Guillen did say the Ozuna move was “the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do as a manager.” 37 minutes ago
They wanted Uribe in case someone goes down. 38 minutes ago
Guillen’s reason for the Ozuna move was that while Ozuna helps him more off the bench than Uribe, Uribe is a better every day starter. 39 minutes ago
by larry on Jul 8, 2008 6:30 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
way to provide very little.
he doesn’t parse Ozzie’s words for us (“Ozuna was done, but here’s a token compliment), but he sure as shit makes sure to get an Uribe dig in.
i don’t like Cowley nearly as much as I did going into the season.

No BUO today
Davies is replacement level, and the web tool has very few total pitches, so there’s not a lot for me to work with. He’s in the spreadsheet, fwiw, so you get some idea of his stuff. Don’t help him out, wait on a fastball, etc. Nothing special. Here’s his BP projected split:
LHB: .274/.380/.458
RHB: .279/.365/.442

Personally..I’d sit/trade Thome. He’s not #1 or #2 on the team in HR, and his average is WAY below where a DH should be. He’s not great in the clutch, and the occasional walk isn’t the way to use that role. Make Paulie DH…and see if he comes around. Then again, he’s paid an awful lot to be only offense. I love him as a leader, and he’s been great for this team, but part of me leans toward Kenwo…just not sure what to do… That’s why Ozzie and Kenny make the big bucks; to make the (hopefully) smart, occasionally not too popular personnel decisions.

Another possibility for the Sox could be Konerko and Anderson to the Giants for Rowand and another player or two. It would help the defense daily in center field and add a player who will give a strong effort every day.
I know the White Sox are in first place, but their lack of team speed on the bases does not make it any easier to make a run(?) at the World Series. I think we ought to call Thome and Konerko the “Cholesterol Brothers” because of the way they clog the bases on those rare occasions they find their way on base

by Chiburb on Jul 8, 2008 7:40 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
If I’m Ozzie for a day, and it’s the day Konerko’s ready to be activated, then first things first: I’m LEAVING Nick Swisher at first, PERIOD. Konerko will be my DH; I’ll “rest” Swish with Konerko occasionally, helping Paulie to keep those obliques rested for the playoff run; I’m also platooning him with Thome, and I’m putting Konerko up against EVERY lefthanded pitcher the Sox face for the rest of the season, including pinch-hitting for Thome when he starts when the opposition matches up a lefty to face Thome in the late innings (Thome strikes out better than 33% of the time against lefties; the failure of Thome to hit against lefties is no longer acceptable; put him in situations where he’s got the best chance to be successful, like when he faces righties and his strikeout ratio improves to 1 in 10 AB). I’m playing the numbers with these two guys: Konerko faces those hitters he knows and hits best, and likewise with Thome. It’s not rocket science, it’s common sense, just like putting Dye in the 4th spot and Q in the 3rd spot was obvious early on, particularly if a person was determined to prevent a repeat of the Sox hitting woes of 2007. And I’m platooning Anderson and Wise in center, again, using these guys where they’re the most likely to be successful, and, both guys give me a much better defensive presence and give us more speed in the lineup. Dye in clean-up is something I advocated weeks ago; don’t you think his placment there has SOMETHING to do with the 11-6 record the Sox recorded in Paulie’s absence? Quentin in the 3rd spot is something I advocated weeks ago; having him hit every first inning of every game might have something to do with our 11-6 record since Paulie’s stint on the DL, yes??? Pierzynski isn’t your proto-typical 2nd spot guy, but he gets the job done, and he’s in shape, he’s smart, and is there someone better that’s on our roster? He’s stretching singles into doubles and using his svelter self to pick up extra bases here and there like a 2nd spot hitter should, he’s hitting for average, he’s spraying hits all over the field, and it bears repeating: he’s the smartest runner we’ve got, and the 2 spot is great for him. It would be nice to see Pablo in the lineup more often, giving Crede’s back a rest, and maybe we’ll see Joe’s hitting return when he’s not hurting. Back pain inhibits the most skilled worker no matter what your profession or trade. Cabrera is starting to hit consistently. Interpolate my friends. Anderson’s platooning with Wise, Konerko with Thome, Pablo with Crede, Cabrera, and Ramirez, who has been just sensational at second. Toby Hall needs to get in there once in a while, too, DH Pierzynski, Thome at first, Swish in center, Anderson in right to spell Dye, hey, we can do what we need to do with this roster, without the one guy who has absolutely no idea what he’s doing with the baseball bat, and that’s the same guy who answers the question “WHO DO YOU SEND DOWN?” If you haven’t been counting and you’re still reading, go find your 1st grader’s arithmetic book, because Uribe’s gone; look elsewhere for that backup infielder in case someone’s hurt out of the core infield group. Don’t we have a second baseman in the system who’s hitting over .400 right now? I’d play Pablo before I’d put Uribe in the lineup. His unbelievable defensive plays in the 2005 World Series are great memories, but so are the memories of Podsednik’s table setting OBP and base running. This should be entitled www.moveon.uribe.org. I’d rather have a slumping Konerko than a perpetually wild swinging hitter anyday. Uribe is the White Sox’ version of Corey Patterson, that is, if Corey were to put another 30# of beef on his backside, which come to think of it would probably help Corey cut down on his swing and become what he and Uribe (and his brother Eric) should be: slap hitters, contact hitters, choke up the bat hitters, disciplined hitters. These guys all have one thing in common, including setting a bad example for Felix Pie: They prove that you can’t force a team to hold their collective breath indefinitely without suffocating the lineup whenever these guys are in it (the lineup). I wouldn’t have started Uribe last night, I’d have started Pablo, and run the future shortstop over to shortstop from second, one Alexei Ramirez. This is the AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL DIVISION TITLE AT STAKE. Wise has already shown he can hit and play defense, and in my estimation is a better outfielder than Swish; Anderson’s starting to hit because he’s working to cut down that swing and becoming more confident and the distance between his hitting abilities now and what he can be is exactly the distance he needs to shorten his swing, which is not much. This guy should watch some old Al Kaline film. He can be that kind of hitter (memo to Sox hitting coach.) Have I missed anything? Javy using his change-up a little more often might reduce the HRs he gives up with 2 outs, and certainly would reduce his BBs, not to mention preventing a few HBP, which cost him the game last night, a night when he had no-hitter stuff. This Sox team can win it all; Uribe’s a great memory, but he’s Pete Best at this point, and the Sox need to march to Ringo’s beat from here on out. 2007 was a Hard Day’s Night, and keeping Uribe is forcing the team to “Carry That Weight”, and Juan should be singing “I Don’t Want to Spoil The Party”, while 2008 should be, could be, it is….”Get Back” to the World Series for “A Taste of Honey” and another “Magical Mystery Tour”. Kenny can then enjoy his winter playing “Fixing a Hole” while planning another Revolution No. (200)9 as World Champions, again, and Sox fans will be happy “Here, There and Everywhere”!!! Just send me my beat check now, and it’ll all be good!!!

let me save you all the trouble. the moneyshot:
Anderson’s starting to hit because he’s working to cut down that swing and becoming more confident and the distance between his hitting abilities now and what he can be is exactly the distance he needs to shorten his swing, which is not much. This guy should watch some old Al Kaline film. He can be that kind of hitter

schedule really works in their favor....
they get 4 with the Ortiz-less Red Sox this week….then they are done with them for the year.
We get 7 with them….Oritz will be back.

Not that I really have a name to replace him as the #5 starter....
but I certainly wouldn’t mind if KW could find a way to dump Jose and his contract before the deadline…..it’d have to be a little easier than last year, right?

You guys need to stay on top with the Cowley Twitters
Jose Contreras was very upset when he heard the news about Ozuna, and he’s pitching like a guy whose mind is somewhere else.
This loss is all because we’re lacking Ozuna!

damnit!
why didn’t they DFA him after the game? Bobby went on the DL, so there would have been room anyway.
