i'd like to say a few words about a guy i know, a friend of mine.
his name is The Cheat, and he has the heart of a bicycle messenger and that rare form of courage which allows him to kid himself and his opponent — butt cancer.
he has a mental attitude which makes me proud to have a site admin who spells out H-E-A-R-T 24 hours a day, every day of his life.
now you flatter some by frontpaging their content. but i say to you here and now, The Cheat is the man of courage who should receive the frontpage articles.
it’s theirs tonight and The Cheat’s tomorrow.
i’m OK with The Cheat.
and i’d like all of you to be OK with him too.
and tonight, as portsluts hit their knees:
please ask God to make him reconsider abdicating the throne.
I love seasons too. That's why I live in a place that skips the shitty ones.

I get that alot.
It’s ironic.
“In 1915 the area was annexed by Chicago. It was at this time that the term Garfield Ridge began to be used. Its name is derived from 55th street being known as Garfield Blvd named after president Garfield and the subtle ridge running between 53rd and 54th streets which separates the swampy Mud Lake area from the drier highlands.”- Wikipedia (so its gotta be true.)
We got Bill Lipinski and the northern half of Midway airport…that’s about it.

Eno Sarris just posted about Brian
Bruney – it exists. He is more optimistic then you are but not terribly.
Summary: they both throw hard with high K and BB rates. Sox might be able to fix him.
Huh, too much editing
He compares Bruney with Thorton. He fails to mention that Thorton was a starter before coming over and that is the likely explanation for his fastball speed jump.
Yeah, I’m sticking with my earlier thought: bullpen fodder. Good fodder, but fodder.

I can certainly see this being a fantastically overblown point of conversation for the many talking heads around the country should it end up a Chicago/Philly World Series
Jibbering and jabbering about how one team was built on pitching and the other on hitting and how the Phillies are purists with their pitching and defense first attitude… a real throwback to what Abner Doubleday intended for the boys in the summer of 1800 and 39. Conversely they’ll gab about how the White Sox have built their team as the fundamental opposite of what the Phillies have done, relying on the addition of the Designated Hitter to the game to win baseball. Surely, the Phillies will hold the advantage when the games are played at Citizen’s Bank Park.
This script practically writes itself.

I think that given the (potentially) dominant nature of each respective side's strength
The power of Philly and the pitching of Chicago would be overlooked for the more obvious stories. Dunn and Lee are literally “news,” and would be regarded as the pieces that put their teams over the top, regardless of the fact that both teams seem to be balancing each aspect of the game fairly well as the offseason shakes itself out.
Reporter: I was wondering if at any point in my lifetime the Cubs weren't going to be run by a guy who didn't immediately remind me of failure, confusion, or imminent death
The Phillies starting pitching will much more dominant the the White Sox offense.
I don’t think they’re comparable at all, really.
You could insert Boston in if you prefer.
I’m a White Sox fan and I prefer to think positively about their chances.
Do as you like.

Even if we are talking one year
17.8 WAR I would assume is pretty damn great for your 4 best, but I would guess projections are going to have the Phillies 1-2-3-4 closer to 20 WAR. Will be crazy to see.
BTW, do we generally like WAR for pitchers, or is that not the best metric?
Yeah I guess if you are going to include today's Oswalt
you should include today’s Hamels as well. I was just thinking the track record of their big 3 is pretty astonishing, but Halladay and Lee are certainly a cut above Oswalt at this point.
oswalt was the second most valuable fantasy pitcher in baseball
and I have no idea what that means in real life baseball

Tough to compare eras, but 4 SPs with 20+ wins is impressive in any decade.

The Phillies won't play a game with that rotation until 2011.
Am I missing something?
and though not as good
the 1966 orioles did it in the world series. gave up 2 runs and 17 hits in a 4 game sweep. (3 shutouts)

Don't forget the Sox' 1967 rotation.
Tommy John, Gary Peters, Joe Horlen, and the emerging Wilbur Wood were pretty stout. Horlen twirled a no-no that year. Look at the ERA+ and WHIP’s!

Russel Martin is going to get picked up by the Yankees today,
wish we coulda gotten him instead of AJ
2011 WhiteSox Baseball: we're all in
who wouldn't want an NL catcher on the decline before he could become a free agent
that joe torre completely killed by overusing
When I was a kid, I didn't want to be a doctor or a fireman. I wanted to be Super Mario. It's the most literal pipe dream I've ever had.
Yeah I'll be sad
about losing out on Martin when the Sox finish one game back with a worse than expected record in one run games. Until then I will not miss a minute of sleep on the estimated 0.2 WAR of difference between the players.
I agree with OznCoop
because I think there’s a chance Russell Martin plays like his old self, and I see nothing from AJ but decline.
by Gentleman Jim on Dec 14, 2010 12:14 PM CST up reply actions
there's also the more likely chance
that the last two seasons were what martin has become. he broke his hip last year.
When I was a kid, I didn't want to be a doctor or a fireman. I wanted to be Super Mario. It's the most literal pipe dream I've ever had.
It's possible
Martin was still better than AJ last year though, and he’s young. Plus, how bad of a risk can a one-year contract be? The broken hip is a problem which is why he has to pass a physical.
Obviously it depends on the money and I’m probably biased against resigning our own mediocre players because it seems like they always get overpaid (not just for us, for everyone).

Keep retracting.
The Sox would’ve signed him and not AJ if they wanted him.
uncertainty is a bitch. by larry on Dec 8, 2010 11:51 AM EST
Depends on the contract.
Plus this all assumes he would come to the Sox. They probably would have had to let AJ sign elsewhere before they could get a commitment from Martin. It is just one of those silly things to say for someone playing armchair GM. Considering the logistics, it was never a feasible move for the White Sox.
So you trust AJ's word about AJ's plans over Cowley's?
I don’t know man, Cowley’s got a pretty solid track record.
Martin wanted to play on the east coast to be close to Montreal.
And the Expos reportedly expressed no interest.
Today's lesson in Guillenese: "Da Chicaja Juaiso."
exactly, Russel is under 30 years old.
Yeah, he hasn’t been good the past few years, but I see no reason why he would not put up at LEAST AJ like numbers, with the potential to be above average.

because aj calls a great game

Once upon a time there was a paraplegic and a person with severe cardiovascular and respiratory disease sharing a hospital room.
The heart patient’s bed was located so he had a view out the only window in the room. The paraplegic was very jealous that the man could see the world go by. He never overtly let his jealousy be known but as the days went by and then the months…an overstated and heavy hatred developed out the seed of jealousness. Every day the heart patient would describe what he saw out the window and the paraplegic would hate him for his boasting. After a while the paraplegic knew about a busy and teaming world with bill the messenger boy, pete the postman, the woman in the blue hat and the garbageman bill as the heart patient built an over-dramatic life out of the people in the street. Then, one night the heart patient had a huge heart attack in his sleep, he woke up fumbling for his pills and in a fit of superhuman strength the paraplegic was able to move his body to enough to hit the desk and knock the pills on to the floor…he wanted the window view. The next morning he requested to be put in the empty bed so he could see out the window and all he saw was a brick wall.
