So, we had the lead against Greinke, lost the lead, lost it some more, then got within 1, tied the game, and won in the 9th.
I can’t stand it!
Yeah, surrre.
Anderson tore his pants on the slide at home, too.
But it’s possible that was by design.

You'd think the fact that we're in the Central would be appealing to these pitchers.
The fact that they’d be leaving teams like the Dodgers and Cardinals (in division) to compete against AL Central teams would help me start to get over the park we play in.
This is ignoring the rest of the AL, of course.
by Black Sox Baseball on May 31, 2009 5:50 PM CDT up reply actions
Let's be candid.
Cell = bandbox = high ERA.
AL hiitters > NL hitters.
Can’t say I blame any good pitcher from a horseshit team with a LT contract toiling in obscurity (no pressure) from not embracing that move.
We’re a pack of a-holes.
by rhythm on Apr 14, 2009 1:45 PM EDT
Or course.
But that makes it sound like these pitchers would rather sit and bake by themselves for the money and the off, off-chance that they make a run for the HoF as opposed to aspiring to win a ring.
Moving to the AL doesn’t make you a crappy pitcher, it makes you an AL pitcher with AL numbers. I’d hate to think these pitchers lacked the love-of-the-game mentality where playing in October is a distant third to making money (which they’d make elsewhere) and having pretty numbers.

OK. If you want to live in the landthat is fantasy, that's OK by me.
Speaking of fantasy, I believe we are through the looking-glass, Alice:
“Podsednik – if I could get him out, it would be a lot better,” said Greinke, who had trouble with his usually reliable slider.
“He always does that to me.”
“I’ve thrown him everything,” said Greinke. “He’s hit everything. You get two strikes and he fights off good pitches. I used to think he was just a bloop hit guy. He’s a little better than that.”

by rhythm on Apr 14, 2009 1:45 PM EDT
I didn't present myself properly. I was asking you a question:
You seem to be saying a pitcher would rather do nothing on a bad team for the money and good stats.
I’m saying I don’t understand this mentality because they’d be getting paid just as much on another team thanks to that contract being a…contract, plus if they moved to the AL they’d still (if they were a good pitcher) have good numbers – just when compared to other AL pitchers (almost like a weighted scale). Plus there’s the added bonus of moving from a bad team to a team with a chance (which the Sox are looking more and more like). You know what I’m saying?
If they’re waiting for their team to trade them in-division or at least to another NL team then all they’re getting is the benefit of good NL stats compared to other NL pitchers (and great stats when compared to oranges – a la AL pitchers)…and apparently batting?
by Black Sox Baseball on May 31, 2009 6:19 PM CDT up reply actions
they tend to think about their next contract as well
and putting up better stats in a weaker league leads to more money in the next contract

You’d think the market for pitchers would take that into account.

i think so
agents are going to be able to get more for a guy who looks like a b+ in the NL than a c/c+ in the AL

by trademaker on May 30, 2009 10:31 PM PDT
whether it's true or not
pitchers believe it. they also know that, regardless, lots of their counting stats, like strikeouts, will be better. and the very good pitchers are thinking about their legacy.

I don't see the different between a guaranteed World Series and a guaranteed year without injury.
Both probably don’t exist.
However, if I were to leave the NL with good stats, do well in the AL, and then looked to get back into the NL, I’d definitely be looking at how C.C. and Johan did it successfully.
by Black Sox Baseball on May 31, 2009 6:45 PM CDT up reply actions
both people you picked in your example
went AL to NL, not the other way around. it is easier to go AL to NL as a pitcher. give me some names of guys who recently went NL to AL and have done at least as well as they did in the senior circuit

by trademaker on May 30, 2009 10:31 PM PDT
That's because I was explaining that these pitchers don't have to leave the NL forever, making the examples completely relevant.
I can’t name any. However, if you’re implying that a pitcher automatically becomes worse when leaving the NL to go to the AL simply based on their numbers (which we’ve acknowledged to be inflated in an equal distribution), then I have to disagree.
Roy Oswalt in the NL shouldn’t be comparable to Roy Oswalt in the AL without considering the higher power numbers of batters in the latter.

by trademaker on May 30, 2009 10:31 PM PDT
No problem.
Using ERA as an example, I’m saying it wouldn’t be accurate to compare the ERA of Oswalt in the NL to the ERA of Oswalt in the AL without considerations.
It would be entirely more accurate to compare the difference in ERA of Oswalt in the NL to the avg ERA of all NL starters.
Then (breaking it up to make it less confusing) take that different and compare it to the different in ERA of Oswalt in the AL to the avg ERA of all AL starters.
I hope that makes a bit more sense.
by Black Sox Baseball on May 31, 2009 7:00 PM CDT up reply actions
it does and thank you very much for breaking it down like that
civility is nice in arguments. doesn’t ERA+ take this into consideration?
" Do you guys know people like you are the reason I wouldn’t come on for exstended periods of time. You rui the baseball blogging expieriance."
by trademaker on May 30, 2009 10:31 PM PDT
Agreed. I look forward to future arguments.
To be fair, I’m not nearly as familiar with statistics as the rest of you guys on here. However, from what wikipedia says about ERA+ that looks like a perfectly good measure for comparing.
So then, with this in consideration, you said “It is easier to go AL to NL as a pitcher.” Does that mean the average trend of a pitcher’s ERA+ is worse the year after they move from the NL to the AL?
By the way, I don’t know why I kept writing “different” instead of “difference.” Apologies for the typos.

Sorry - I saw no question mark in your response.
And sure, you’d love to think it’s about a ring. 2 things:
1. Do you think the Sox have a change at a WS title?
2. How long have you been in the working world in thinking that money does not overcome all? (Most of the time.) If I were an elite pitcher I’d hold out for an elite team plus an elite contract. Neither Peavy or Oswalt have any ties, emotionally or otherwise, to the Sox.

The Cardinals had a chance in 06 and won. The Marlins had a chance in 97 and 03 and won. I am not saying it is likely, but if they make the playoffs there is always a chance.

A big deal pitcher could really help the chances of the current Sox team make October.
After that, the first thing you want is good pitching. With our bullpen the way it is, good starters seemingly seal the deal. Besides, I certainly like our chances more than their current teams.

this is what the sox need to do
Before Game 6, McLane approached Oswalt in the Astros’ clubhouse. “Roy, I’ll make a deal with you,” he said. “If you win the game tonight, I’ll buy you a bulldozer.” Oswalt lurched to his feet: “Deal!” Oswalt blew away Albert Pujols with a 95 mph fastball in the first, held St. Louis to three hits and a run over seven innings, and as he finished his work and walked toward the dugout, a thought echoed in his brain: That bulldozer’s mine.
…
Oswalt loves baseball, but there are parts of baseball he can’t stand. Like being away from Weir. Hours after the World Series ended, Oswalt drove home. “Ten years, I think,” he says. “Ten years would be enough. I love the game, but the only way I’d stay longer is if I had a boy, and if I wanted to stay around long enough for him to see me pitch.”

Yes.
But the general consensus seemed to be he was moved specifically to AAA to face better pitching, but more importantly to play 3rd base more often without moving Dayan. I think it’s interesting that he’s not at the position when Fields is suddenly doing better.
Unless he will still be playing primarily 3rd base and, as you said, he’s just moving around not and again. In which case, we’ll have to wait and see.

I started writing a book this afternoon. On Chapter 2 right now. It is gonna be grand.
Yeah, surrre.
My last idea....wonder what the injury status is on B Webb.....
sinkerball pitcher…..affordable 2010 option.
Guillen likes top of lineup
Even before Scott Podsednik tripled off the unhittable force that has been Royals ace Zack Greinke to start the game Sunday, manager Ozzie Guillen finally was feeling like he had settled on the right combination for the top of his lineup.
The Sox have used seven different leadoff hitters until Podsednik solidified that spot, and seven different No. 2 hitters with Alexei Ramirez now handling those duties.
His hope is that the Podsednik-‘‘Missile’’ combo is here to stay. …

Well
My unhealthy lunch led me to a healthy dinner (at least somewhat healthy)
Chana Masala (a northern indian/pakistani chick pea curry) and rice. So good!

that's great, homemade chana masala? wow
indian dishes are so hard to make. hard to get the techniques down, hard to get the ingredients, hard to get the right cooking tools.
i try and make a basic curry and vegetables every once and awhile. I have gotten it down OK but it’s missing that “restaurant flavor”.
no indian restaurant around me until park slope too, a 20 min walk up the avenue.
Thats not a picture of my meal
But it was homemade.
I do have an Indian place about 10 minutes away for when I am feeling lazy
"a methead"
Chana Masala
is pretty easy to make IMO, Indian food take a bit of practice to get it down.
When I lived in London a bunch of my friends were of Indian heritage and one of my best friends growing up was Indian so I basically sat and observed in the kitchen till I got it down
"a methead"
very nice

IMO, Indian restaurants are (on average) terrible
I guess you would hear that from any ethnicity, but the food they serve at most restaurants is incredibly bland, and loaded with cream/tomatoes, which no one does in their own dishes.
Indian food isn’t incredibly complicated, it just takes a lot of trial and error. It also depends from what region are you cooking. I think it’s easier to make the vegetarian dishes.

spake hsa:
SSH is commonly referenced around here. He is a former SSS’er, who was banished from the site during Game 3 of the Twinkiedome series, in which the Sox were swept and lost control of the division in 2008.
He was notorious for his negativity. Even his pro-Sox comments were somehow negative. So when the collective site was heads-in-hands weeping at the sight of the Twins sweep and the demise of the Sox’ season, SSH made the comment that sealed his fate.
His removal from the site was the dawn of a new era.
it’s not that helpful, but it’s decent.
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
That doesn't even come close to 'doing SSH justice'...
if you’re really that interested do a post search. The depth of his obnoxious-ness was truly amazing.

That series…. that may be my worst sports memory, ranking up there with Rex’s back to back interceptions in the Super Bowl.
Seems like a good practice in these forums to try not to say anything that would get you punched in the face if said in person. Can’t say as I disagree with that heat-of-the-moment decision.

So, I await the Q&A in which it is revealed that, like last year, the current hot streak doesn’t count because he isn’t doing it in the right way.

Hole screamed (with lots of vitriol), “Sit down.” I just turned and smiled in his general direction. He must have known what the outcome was going to be.

Baseball: "you will die like dogs!"

member of a "solid community of fans" and "a meathead."
After 49 games,
this Sox team is essentially a .500 team but has played five more games on the road than at home. Not bad. Not great. At the start of the year I thought this team would play .500 ball for most of the season, and I thought that would be good enough to keep us close in the Central Division race. Assuming that Detroit doesn’t run away and hide, this should be an entertaining summer. Was there much more we could have asked from this squad?
I think the key to the Sox' success this weekend is more than obvious.
Cheat wasn’t around.
June 2006: Cheat leaves and the Sox sweep the Cardinals.
Coincidence?
Yeah, surrre.
Moral of the Story: Always Bet on Black
You can put it on the Board, YES…
Well fellow SSS’ers, yours truly, truly fucked up this weekend. Im glad that the Good Guys cleaned house with the sweep, but in all honesty I was satisfied with a series win. So satisfied that when one of my peeps in Chicago who likes to rouse me for being Royalty for living down here and workin at the K, tried to bet me 5$ that our boys in black would win the series. Obviuosly I thought that was a dumb bet and didnt take it, but come Saturday with one win under their belt, he kept at it, so I upped the anty and placed a bet with the odds against me, but still what I thought would be a solid bet. I placed 100 that the Sock would win Sat and loose Sunday. Unfortunately I am now trying to find out what those pills are that Sack Greinke takes for his depression and anxiety to ease my pain :(
