Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

White Sox Defeat Rangers, Combat Swine Flu

Members of the White Sox's traveling party were provided with a three-page question-and-answer memo about the swine flu outbreak before their series with the Texas Rangers.

The questions and answers addressed a wide range of topics, from symptoms to the speading of the disease to prevention.

Mark Gonzales is a hard-hitting, all-around reporter.

Scott Podsednik apparently is healthy and is running like a stuck pig. What's that, Mike Huff? Of course. A white stuck pig. While tied 3-3 in the 7th, Pods made chitterlings into a succulent pork chop by legging out for an infield single one of the worst jobs of hitting a baseball you'll see outside of your local Challenger Division Little League. He proceeded to "induce" a balk and then was driven in by Chris Getz' outfielder splitting triple to right-center for what would be the game-deciding run. I'm sure he'll be able to live off this performance until the All-Star Break.

nice to see the sig changed though

i thought BM was joking about jcm

went to check it and I couldn’t believe coolman was there talking the usual nonsense. What’s the point? Oh well… also amazing how lonestar guys just kept on talking back to him. wasn’t that Friday night? nothing else better to do? internets – one sad place

:) yeah yeah ...

well it is one thing to watch the game and enjoy the chatter with your fellow fans, it is another thing to spend it arguing with some guy who is not even a fan of your team and is clearly just doing it for his own entertainment… I thought that was sad

“With Brian Anderson on the disabled list, Lillibridge might get more time in center field against left-handers, and could back up Alexei Ramirez at shortstop. Lillibridge is hitting .146 with 13 strikeouts in 41 at-bats.”

i don't mind him as a defensive replacement

or a pinch runner, but he should bat as little as humanly possible. (his middle name is stuart, and when he comes to bat i usually say BS lillibridge.)

brian anderson would've caught that...

hafner being out blew a massive hole in their lineup by going on the DL.

jay over at LGT computed the cost of bringing him up at about $6 million a little while back and determined then it wasn’t worth the potential improvement, which i think was something like 2/3 of a win. the calculus may have changed now that hafner is gone and the value may be much closer.

keep in mind, this all assumes that laporta comes up and stays up. which i imagine is a good assumption but one never knows.

i'm not.

the indians, as i believe was pointed out by jay, have set service time aside when it was clear what was best at the major league level. i don’t think there’s much debate now that hafner is out that laporta was by far the best, and necessary, option.

i think they expected to be able to use him as an excuse until june.

at a minimum. if he’s healthy, he hits. this season, case in point.
