they should have won, not lost.
it’s like they didn’t understand the object of the game tonight.
Cashing checks and having sex.
cox has been costing the sox runs
the last 2 weeks. I didn’t notice him much last year.. but after got a guy thrown out at the plate this year he is being super conservative. the guy has to be AT third and the ball has to be at the wall for him to send the runner…. and it isn’t Thome, AJ, Konerko running all the time. The last two nights were Alexei and Fields. I know i wrote this already… but i don’t care it is bugging me!
Kenwo4life=ratings
I agree with this
Make the defense make a throw and a play at the plate and if the throw is there, run the catcher down. This conservative style of baserunning is getting very frustrating to watch.

you gotta take your opportunities. I am not saying to send Konerko on a base hit to left… but come on… you gotta use the little speed you have!

I enjoyed the discussion of the Sox having too many home-run, 'all-or-nothing' types in the lineup
on the same night that the Sox trot out a lineup with Podsednik, Lillibridge, Miller and Nix.
Also, I didn’t think it possible to dislike Steve Phillips any more but by putting him in the booth, ESPN has done just that. Gotta tip your cap to ’em on that one…
Yea, I was listening to the broadcast at the beginning...
I heard Philips and Jon and was like, “sweet, at least Joe Morgan won’t be here”. And then Joe Morgan spoke. And then Kinsler hit a HR.
I went and did other stuff after about the 5th, no use watching such a shitty lineup get dominated by yet another mediocre pitcher.
Serious flashbacks to 2007 right now. Injuries are mounting and there is little if any depth.
Time to...
PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, our depth is slightly better than 2007. Look at our Charlotte lineup, fer Chrissakes. KILLER! And if we have to rush the AA kids to salvage a mediocre season, well, we can do that, too. (Let that probable failure be on your head, though.)

holy shit
steve phillips is annoying. i like joe morgan because he has no clue what dips or var is. takes me back to the days when i thought bill madlock was a good hitter.
I especially enjoyed Morgan's 15-minute knob-slobbing of Betemit. Of course, just to "prove him right," Betemit actually does something other than fuck up in the field (though he did that too!).
Another highlight: Joe Morgan takes credit for telling Rickey Henderson to start hitting homers, start swinging at the first pitch…at which point one of the other d-bags in the booth basically told him to shut the fuck up – by pointing out that his OBP went down when he began swinging for the fences.
Far too many classic moments to recall…I was drunk on Fat Tire and homemade meatloaf.

yea that Morgan taking credit for Rickey becoming a HR hitter story was hilarous
Then Jon Morgan was like, “he I looked up his stats and his OBP plummeted” and Joe Morgan was silent. Great times, great times.

Don't worry everyone -- Daryle Ward's here
According to Bobbie Dittmeier of MLB.com, the White Sox signed first baseman/outfielder Daryle Ward and assigned him to Triple A Charlotte. In fact, Ward already homered for the team yesterday. He had been playing in the Atlantic League after the Reds let him go.

Is he describing Q! or Gollum?
He is a ball of awkward energy, a hunchback of a man in the batter’s box. He’s part Hulk, and his body language suggests that you shouldn’t talk to him, bother him or disturb him while he’s preparing for his job. It’s not that White Sox left fielder Carlos Quentin doesn’t like you; it’s just that he doesn’t have time for you. You are a fan, the media, or anything else that is not a seamed white ball. That white ball is all that matters to him. It’s what he obsesses over; it’s what he covets; it’s what drives him and preoccupies him all of the time.

Trying to evacuate thousands of people from the building, using only a couple of stairwells, it is safe to say that most of us would be fucked right up the ass should a real fire occur.
I was stopped in the stairwell behind (I counted) FIVE separate people within my view, who were too busy TEXTING to put one foot in front of the other. I watched as they dragged ass down the stairs, sometimes stopping even, to get that ever-important text sent.
I swear, if I had smelled smoke, I would have had absolutely no problem elbowing my way past these dillholes. And if I happened to be armed with a blade at the time, I would have stabbed them repeatedly just to make sure they didn’t make it out alive.

Not only that, who the hell are they going to trade?
Who wants to take the productive old timers, if they indeed were to accept a trade, because of their contracts and probable redundancy?
Otherwise, it’s a bunch of young players (both in the majors and minors) that are going to be part of the core of the next championship team and a bunch of unproductive spare parts and Massets. Other teams have enough unproductive spare parts and Massets, so what the hell are the Sox going to get back for them? My guess is absolutely no one of value to the team.

Well. Better than yesterday!
I like to spell my racial slurs correctly. Otherwise, I may come across as ignorant.

i'm amused that betemit is now apparently soley a backup 1B.
White Sox Minor League Updates: http://twitter.com/SouthSidelarry
Yeah, that is odd. Why not have him man 3B?
The Pods/Lillibridge CF/RF is like a black hole…konerko could leg out a triple on those arms.

lot of dumb comments flying around about our players especially when we have so many guys hurt and its this early in the season. pods has a weak arm but lillibridge actually has a plus arm
plus arm in CF?
Where are you getting this?

he has a plus arm on the infield.
usually translates to something more than pods in the outfield.

But does he have a hot wife?
Wait, nevermind, I forgot, he is 12.
Does he have a hot mom?
If he plays well, does Ozzie take him to Dairy Queen after the game?

Alright, if you guys say so...I am mistaken.
But how is he rated as a CF’er? I know that isn’t what I originally said…but just wondering. I can’t find any data on that…

probably because he just started playing there last week.

I have followed him a little through the minors because he was a solid prospect with the pirates and braves. I remember reading about him having a plus major league arm while he was in the minors. he hasnt played CF since his first year in college than he moved back to shortstop. He is just an athlete so ozzie puts him out in center because thats pretty much what you need out there
Why not just have him DH? I personally don't care to see him in the field at all. Unless he wants to do one of them ATM races at an inning break or something.
What amuses you personally, larry? I’m not being smart, I’m really asking…

why he exists on the roster if his purpose is to backup konerko.
you don’t usually DH weak hitters. nor does one usually put at 1B weak hitters.
White Sox Minor League Updates: http://twitter.com/SouthSidelarry
Gotcha. I'd obviously prefer to have Thome/Paulie in the lineup every day, but Betemit's not a terrible bat replacement and the fact that he switch-hits makes him more appealing at the plate.
That, and what I’ve seen so far from him on defense…1B, 3B…not impressed. DH when the real players need a rest…PH when needed….
But I guess when you’ve got a team full of mediocre utility players….you pick your poison.

Flowers could probably fill the DH role now.
If only he was even a passable catcher. Hopefully Allen’s progression continues so perhaps we can see him by year-end.
We’re a pack of a-holes.

this team has far too many good hit/shit field players to ever require a bench player to DH.
White Sox Minor League Updates: http://twitter.com/SouthSidelarry
True...but when your good hit/shit field players start dropping like flies to injury, it definitely narrows your options and forces the inopportune use of shit hit/shit field players.

and, in this environment of fly dropping, apparently betemit currently serves the purpose of playing 1B when konerko is DHing.
awesome.
White Sox Minor League Updates: http://twitter.com/SouthSidelarry
Well, at least it's only on Saturday's, I suppose. ;P heh heh
Not part of an argument either way, just playing around on BR –
PK is killing as DH so far: .353/.389/.647/1.036 –
Betemit’s line while subbing for him at 1B: 267/.313/.467; when he plays 3B: .444/.444/.667.
Small sample size, bien sur, he’s only played 2 games at 3B…but we like small sample sizes, right? :)

Amused that Nix would start at 3B instead of Betemit?
Sorry..I’ll let you respond…
