Cheat that was perfectly penned.....

From some who seldom posts but, often visits

I am torn on this matter.
         I view larry as the anti-establishment.

I’m so used to larry being the “unofficial editor”. Before I post anything baseball related I double check my stats because i know that larry will give me the internet equivalent of a choke slam.

The other side of the coin would be and with all due respect to everyone who runs the site ( you guys do a fantastic job).
        I think that larry would put more time, effort, and energy into the site than anyone else. Actually I think that he already does.

What will larry do…?

i’d be interested to see what 500 words on the front page would be like from him, too. but he’d obviously be great at it. iirc, he blogs/writes some law-ish dealie, so maybe he’s not as committed to Not Blogging as i imagine, but i do think larry relishes his “anti-establishment” role. intriguing.

Anyway, I wouldn’t mind seeing Larry as a front-pager. I keep hoping someone will do some sort of minor league roundup once in a while…

Possible compromise:
Larry gets to be an asshole in any thread he doesn’t start. In one’s he does, he has to be education/informative/engaging?

2009 Sox Ad campaign: "There are Traditions and There Are White Sox Traditions."
Let’s start with the White Sox, who are pushing “traditions” as the team’s core advertising theme in a new campaign from Energy BBD0/Chicago with the tag line “There are Traditions and There Are White Sox Traditions.” The line struck us initially as a bit wordy, but White Sox marketing honcho Brooks Boyer is using it to remind fans and casual observers of the team that a lot of people have developed close bonds with the White Sox and exhibit them in some funny, emotional and quite bizarre ways. “Tradition” is not a loosely used term within the White Sox operation. “Pride, passion and tradition are the three cornerstones of our brand,” explained Boyer.

During the recent SoxFest event, fans were apparently asked to talk about some of their special White Sox traditions, and the results of those interviews will be incorporated into the ad campaign as it plays out through the 2009 season. In the first print execution that surfaced late last week, we saw what is referred to as a “Snow Ozzie,” a snowman sporting a goatee (!) and White Sox garb that is intended as a very wintry tribute to manager Ozzie Guillen and the team. Television spots, which will start airing around March 1, will be filmed during spring training this week.

Matt Thornton on U.S. WBC roster
Barring a last-minute change, White Sox reliever Matt Thornton said he and Seattle reliever J.J. Putz will be on the United States’ 28-player roster for the World Baseball Classic.

group one and group two
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The White Sox usually structure their pitching workouts into two groups, with the first group indicating which pitchers will get a longer look.

But this year’s set of lists provide a twist. The first group includes Mark Buehrle, Gavin Floyd and John Danks — the first three pitchers in the Sox’s rotation. But the rest of the first group includes one eye-raising name.

Left-hander Aaron Poreda, the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft, is included and actually stands a strong chance to make the Opening Day roster as a reliever if he doesn’t earn the fifth spot in the rotation.

Poreda likes to start but said that relieving isn’t a big deal for him.

The rest of the first group includes closer Bobby Jenks, Scott Linebrink, Matt Thornton, D.J. Carrasco, Adam Russell and Ehren Wassermann, along with non-roster invitees Mike MacDougal and Brad Salmon.

The most notable names in the second group are Jeff Marquez, Clayton Richard and Lance Broadway, who are competing for the fifth spot in the rotation. Reliever Octavio Dotel, who is in the final year of a two-year contract, also in the group that includes Franklyn German, Jhonny Nunez, Clevelan Santeliz, Lucas Harrell, John Van Benschotten, Randy Williams and Jon Link.

Jose Contreras and Bartolo Colon are on modified programs and aren’t listed on any of the two pitching lists.

Any word from WU since his surgery?

I haven’t been on for a couple of days, and I am worried about that old POS.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

college maven bryan smith on beckham's D
fantasy (ny): How good do you think Gordon Beckham will be in the majors? 2B or SS?

Bryan Smith: You know, Gordon Beckham did not get enough publicity for the improvements he made defensively last season — his offense even managed to overshadow those contributions. A year ago, there was little question that Beckham would move, but he has done a lot to make this a legitimate question. Still, I think his skillset is better served to be an offensive-minded second baseman — a position where he might even be a plus defender.

by larry on Feb 17, 2009 1:13 PM CST reply actions  

Hopefully Ramirez can handle SS!

wtf???
My biggest question, though, is how can other general managers even trade for a starting pitcher from Kenny Williams after his history of (allegedly) dealing damaged goods, time and time again?

One would think there would be a physical before the trade is processed

If you can’t pick up an injury on the physical than your SOL.

You know there are these things/people/Autobots called doctors

That can perform physical examinations of each and every player that comes via trade. Good doctors are even capable of detecting these crazy injuries.

When you give the keys to the dis-establishement they generally choke on them. It’s more fun to lob in the comments with impunity.

i wasn't lobbying to be an editor with my snarky comment above. so the offer was not something about which i had thought.

i am giving it due consideration. my agent scott boras has contacted the cheat regarding my requirements, should i choose to accept.

by larry on Feb 17, 2009 2:21 PM CST up reply actions  

You can't afford Boras. Maybe Borat.

BTW, anyone watch A-Rod’s press conf? He was getting all Mike Schmidt with his “and to my teammates….” sniffling. He did a Maverick dis-engage from the battle after that quote and opened it up for questions – had to be rescued by a moderator who instructed the crass media to stop taking pictures because of the “click-click-click” noise.

Ozzie Guillen commented on Monday that both John Danks and Gavin Floyd came into camp throwing like it was June already, and Floyd once again raised some eyebrows on Tuesday.
With GM Ken Williams watching his bullpen session, Floyd once again impressed. Enough so that Williams said to him after, "Damn, slow down. It’s Feb. 17, not March 31.’’
As it stands right now with the Big Three, Buehrle will be the Opening Day starter, followed by Floyd and then Danks.
