Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

White Sox Offense Still Absent at Home

  • Paul Konerko hit a homerun and the rest of the White Sox offense put up about as much of a fight as Perez Hilton against Will.i.am, unless you count their usual 9th inning shutout-avoiding run.  Maybe they had forgotten about the HR?
  • Once again the Sox failed to put up much of an effort against a pitcher they've never seen before. This is were I would post the ugly table, but I've lost track since interleague play began and the game notes that I link every game -- does anyone bother to click those? -- doesn't appear to have it either.
  • John Danks supposedly didn't have it early. I missed the first two innings, which means he looked great to me. 
  • Gordon Beckham might want to rethink the playfully ironic walk-up music. He entered the day hitting .083/154/.083 when taking his cuts after hearing the strained squealing of The Outfield compared to .296/.424/.519 without it. Add another 0-3 with a K and that home line looks even worse. At least he had a pretty nice game in the field.

Danks threw a strike to start the game

then didnt have another one until you wouldve been watching.
It seemed to me like he was getting squeezed, I hope Hawk got good and frothy because there seemed to be a legitimate gripe.

Not a "legitimate" gripe if he was consistent.

Danks has to adjust to how the pitches are being called. Don’t blame the ump unless the zone moved around all night long, and if it only moved around on us.

Well it seemed like he was up all night

and Kuroda was getting strikes called below the knees.
so yeah it was consistent with a few obvious gaffes.
You only need to be squeezed on th first pitch and the batter has a huge advantage.
also: Ethier was murdering the ball in BP.
I suspect thats why he got plunked and walked.

Guillen got tossed from the dugout, came out to argue briefly before dropping his lineup card in front of West.

"It’s the weakest call I’ve ever had in my career – not just managing," Guillen said. "I asked where the pitch was. He didn’t like my answer, my question, and he kicked me out of the game – simple as that.


"He big-leagued the (bleep) out of me, big-time. I’m not going to say much (more) because it might cost me one day without payment and one day without my club."

looking at kenny's comments again
GM Kenny Williams said he’s not going to be a "seller" Tuesday, meaning he won’t start dumping veterans before the July 31 trade deadline.

But Kenny did say something that’s open to interpretation:

"Some people might perceive a potential deal to where we sell, just because it may be a younger player, they may be thinking: ‘They’ve thrown in the towel,’’’ Williams said. "In fact, we might view it as a neutral deal for ’09, but for (20)10, ’11 and ’12, you may be better as a result of it."

I think Kenny meant to say "may be FOR a younger player," meaning trading a White Sox veteran for a young guy.

A pattern that likely doesn't mean anything

but aside from the Cubs series, the Sox interleague has gone like this:

L-W-W against the Brewers
L-W-W against the Reds

So now that the Sox have their first game loss against the Dodgers, does that mean that the next two games will be wins?

That ball hit deep! Way back! You can put it on the boooaaaard...YES!

by 67WMAQ on Jun 24, 2009 9:28 AM CDT up reply actions  

Here's another thing about attendance.

People can choose to spend their money however they want. The economy is in the dumper, money is tight, and families don’t have the $100 plus to shell out for Sox tickets. parking, concessions, souveniers, etc.

But – I hate how attendance discussions bring out the meatheads who believe an empty ballpark is some strange point of pride (except when the Cubs arrive – when they come to the ballpark, get into fights, and stand in front of me in the bathroom).

“Yeah – we don’t go to the ballpark unless they’ve won the World Series. Dis Reinsdorf guy, whatta cheap bastard. And I’ve been watching Sox games since 1970. I’ll hang up and listen for your answer.”

the one item that the radio shows are missing with this

Is the fact that these premier type games are a tad more expensive than your standard fare. If it was a normal priced game, then attendance wouldn’t be an issue.

Its a simple formula

Jacking the price up for inter-league series+ bad economy = field of green seats

How the Dodgers got top tier pricing, I'll never know.

This is their third trip to the south side since 1959. They’re not rivals, nor are they products of the ESPN hype machine (like Red Sox/Yankees).

They probably should have done the opposite. Have a half price Tuesday for the 1st game and pack the park. No love affair with LA in these parts.

I may not click the link to everything you post but the ones I do pursue further are usually very much to my benefit, and most of the time I wouldn’t have read the article had it not been for your posting of it. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I hope you’re not discouraged from posting links, ‘cause I’d be one person who’d be worse off for it. It seems like an odd time to remove that post — why now? why not closer to when the conversation was had? — but at the same time, I see larry’s point about trying to reduce some of the redundancy.

about the “conversation”:

The ins-and-outs of autograph etiquitte
A locker, adorned by the usual artifacts, sits near the back of the clubhouse. A dozen shirts and jackets loosely hang, various shoes are strewn about, and a score of bats lean against it. On the face of the locker, a single photo curiously gleams. It is a picture of a rabbit, and the rabbit’s name is Buster Posey.

The photo arrived courtesy of a fan letter, and it had all of us laughing.

“Hi, your name is Buster Posey,” the young fan stated. “My name is Ryan Posey, and I have a pet rabbit. I named him Buster, so now my rabbit’s name is Buster Posey, just like you.”

The kid enclosed two photos and asked the player/namesake to sign the larger of the two; the second was for Buster to keep. Buster, despite receiving many autograph requests, signed it almost immediately before posting the smaller photo on his locker.

That kid figured it out - we need to hire him to run the Minor League thread, very business savy.

Keep him away from WU (errr Ted or “Nolte” though).

I didn't know you could build a bionic Freddy? I want one!
Williams intimated that pitcher Freddy Garcia is a long way from being ready to pitch. Williams said that Garcia, trying to build up strength in his right pitching shoulder, is believed to be working out in North Carolina. “That’s a slow process,” Williams said. “We have to build him the right way, the way he was supposed to be built from the beginning.”
