White Sox Accidentally The Whole Homestand

Another day, another game without a "clutch" hit.
Add another 0-6 w/ RISP to the fire sale.
I know I'm beating the proverbial dead horse here (and that's Larry's job), but the White Sox combined batting line for this homestand (link should be updated by mid-morning Thursday) is stomach churningly bad.
John Danks was the victim of a bad call on Brandon Inge's hit by pitch, which loaded the bases and was immediately followed by a walk of what proved to be the winning run.
The Sox have seemed to be on the receiving end of more than their fair share of bad calls in this homestand, or at least seem to be losing out on the bang-bang plays, most notably Wise at the plate yesterday. But I'm not about to complain about the umpiring. The plays are simply more notable because of how poorly the Sox offense is playing. When having a runner 180 feet (or less) from home is a signal to head to the bathroom, grab another beer from the fridge or move a little closer to the ledge, the plays that could-have-been feel like they're all going against you.
In reality, there have probably been as many plays that have gone the Sox way this homestand. Pods has gotten a couple of perhaps generous calls while swiping bags and Jenks got a gift strikeout in one of the Sox only wins.
As if another punchless loss wasn't bad enough, the Sox lost Paul Konerko for an undermined period of time thanks to the same injury that kept him ineffective for much of last season; a bone bruise on his right thumb, though Ozzie called it a loose ligament in his post-game presser. There could be a bit of a silver lining there in that 1) it could (along with Carlos Quentin's uncertain status) make Kenny Williams difficult decision easier and 2) Konerko is the anti-canary in the coalmine for the Sox offensive fortunes. When Konerko has been bad lately, the Sox offense has been good, and vice versa.
Williams discussed those tough decisions in a pre-game talk with the media
"Hard decisions always have to be made," said Williams, responding to an inquiry on whether he would break up the team if the losing trend continued. "But very clearly, we are in a transitional phase, and if this team shows me at some point they don't pick it up at some point, yeah, I'm going to have do some things that maybe aren't going to be the most popular but in the best interests of the club.
"But those things are a little ways away and we still got time to right the ship and start to play a little better. But if we don't, it is what it is. You got to produce in this game and we got expectations of winning."
As for Konerko's replacement should he be out of the lineup for an extended period, Josh Fields appears to be the biggest winner. He'll get the start tomorrow, and Ozzie ruled out starting Jim Thome at first base as they head on the road to Milwaukee this weekend, stating that he would have to talk to Kenny about the organizational moves that would have to be made with a Konerko DL trip.
And for those of you wondering about the headline; here (Link definitely NSFW, but mostly because of the ads)

I want to add
the next time Ozzie wants to mockingly(?) rip on the fans/media beckham love somebody should just show him the replay of Alexei’s 8th inning at-bat vs. Verlander. The next time Beckham has an at-bat like that he’ll find himself on the bench, yet I didn’t hear Ozzie jumping to the mike to say what a horseshit at-bat that was (and it was) in his post-game presser

In the past, some people expressed concern about Ozzie's ability to manage a non-veteran club...
I think clubhouse atmosphere blah, blah, blah is overrated, but I think concern about Ozzie’s ability to deal with young position players is legitimate. I’m not sure he’s bad at managing those players, but I’m not sure he’s good at it either. I’d be concerned about Beckham losing at-bats to Jayson Nix or something like that….

Also
could Ozzie have made any worse decisions in this game? Bunting with Pods — who quite sadly might be the best bet at this point to get a basehit to set up the inevitable fuck up from Alexei. If there’s a hard-on for smallball, why not just have Pods try to pull the ball for a basehit?

There is no doubt guillen likes Latin players better than white people, and alexei is not a 2 hitter, what the sox had last year with aj batting 2nd really worked, alexei did fine for a while at the 2 spot now its just terrible they should move alexei to the six spot

Oh well
The core of PK, JT, JD and AJ has been pretty boring – lots of Ks and plodding baserunning, leavened with the occasional long ball. But I can’t get enthused about blowing this team up, they won’t get anything in return for any of this jetsam anyway. Hoping for some sizzling white flag action will just lead to further disappointment. So sit back and hunker down and watch this mess play out the string this year.

So. At this point, why not just call up Allen if PK goes DL?
Could he do worse than Fields at the plate? Wouldn’t his defense at 1B be better than Fields? Other than starting his service time earlier than they’d like, what’s the downside?

I would think you've got to play Fields
and pray he gets hot at some point. He’s a former #1 pick and showed a little something in ‘07, if he does ANYTHING hopefully you can snooker some team into trading something of value for him. Maybe we could get Damaso Marte – man, I tell ya, when he’s on he’s sumpin’!

by ChicagoPete on Jun 11, 2009 7:41 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
the downside, in my opinion, is that i'd like to see allen consolidate the improvements he's made in a less pressured environment.
he’s made some rather significant strides this season in K rate – down from about 27% to i think now 18% – while keeping his walk rate stable at about 10-11%. even if that K rate edges up some, which it likely would at higher levels, that along with the rest of his line suddenly makes allen look like not just a major leaguer, but a potentially pretty good one.

i'm sure you're being facetious
but this is the major leagues and this is chicago. there’s a heck of a lot more pressure facing justin verlander, no matter what anyone’s record is, in comerica park than there is in facing chris lambert at fifth third field. allen is also a fellow i would consider it a rather good idea to ensure that his clock doesn’t start too soon (as pointed out by chiburb). the types of numbers he could put up are exactly the sort that result in aribitration valuations that don’t necessaily comport with his value compared to similar players.

I was being facetious.
And agree he should not be rushed. Actually, I was going to compare him to when Ryan Howard was brought up and then remembered I saw Howard in ST that year before they brought him up. BA (no, not the chick magnet) was not even part of ST this year. That’s why I think the earliest he gets a cup of coffee is in Sept., if then. ST 2010 is better.

To the radio call-in crowd or the casual fan, trading a guy like Thome, Dye, AJ, Pods or PK (if they could), might be pretty unpopular, or just trading veterans like Linebrink or Dotel, that makes it look like we’ve given up. Not saying those would be bad moves, just saying you have to think about which fan’s he’s considering when he says unpopular.

what i don't get is what the difference between RISP and when there isn't
Part of me believes that they inevitably will pick it up because they cant stay that awful, but then i watch them and have zero faith

You could at least TRY to look:
Japanese Wa (倭?, “Japan, Japanese”, from Chinese Wō 倭), is the oldest recorded name of Japan. Chinese, Korean, and Japanese scribes regularly wrote Wa or Yamato “Japan” with the Chinese character 倭 until the 8th century, when the Japanese found fault with it, replacing it with 和 “harmony, peace, balance”.

Continue the pain of losing or lose a thumb, you decide.
’’Konerko’s hand is not doing very good,‘’ manager Ozzie Guillen said. ’’He’s had the same problem for a little while. Every time he makes a bad swing, he aggravates that.
‘’I told him if he talked to Carlos May — it might help him.’’
May lost his right thumb as a Marine reserve when a mortar unit misfired. No one said Guillen was politically correct.

Carlos Quentin (60 DXL)
A tendon injury? Where the heck did this come from? In the news that Quentin would be out for the month and possibly until the All-Star break, the White Sox let slide into several beat reports that he has a strained mid-foot tendon. This isn’t something that’s been discussed publicly, and it wasn’t in the whisper stream either. In fact, my best sources told me, clearly and forcefully, that the plantar fasciitis was the real issue, while the face-forward reports were saying “heel pain.” (I should note here in light of the Raul Ibañez Anti-Speculation Rule, that “heel pain” isn’t a lie, so just stop before you send the e-mail. It’s more along the lines of “lower body injury”, describing a symptom instead of a diagnosis.) So is this a change in diagnosis, new information coming to light, or something else? I’ll admit that I’m not sure yet. My best guess, based on information I have at this point, is that what’s being described as a “tendon” is the fascia itself. It’s a fine difference to be sure, but a significant one. The biggest note here isn’t on my medical version of angels and pins, but that Quentin will be out until mid-July, no matter what the specifics are.

I was thinking the same thing.
I’m a step or two slow today, Chi. Embarassing that you are crushing me.
We’re a pack of a-holes.

Maybe BP gets press releases before the Sox even THINK of them?

Chrissakes, Bob, quit lying to us.
You’re married. Your nuts were removed a long time ago.
Now if you want to complain about the size of your sphincter, well, now you’re talking.

Good point
So you’ve been married like 13 times, having your balls attached and ripped off so many times must have been painful?

Surely you jest. This is no reattachment, just BMWs and boats to make you feel as if you still had a pair.
