I don’t give enough of a shit about you to remember what i said to you the other day. You’d send it into orbit? Since I havent pitched in about 3 years I’d hope so.. .somehow i still doubt it. Also… none of this concerned you- but you want to get into it with me? thats fine… however I am not going to be afraid when you ask larry to talk about the pictures you sent to him of yourself…. like that is going to scare me or think anything different other than you are a fag for sending him your pictures.

when toonderstruck was posting here, i was not an editor and obviously would not have been able to have access to your personal information. and since it would be a rather large violation of sbnation rules to reveal your personal information, even if i had been an editor then, i wouldn’t have done that.

Rios at the top of the order?

He gets on base, he hits for power, he does all the little speed things that Ozzie likes…

I would much rather have Rios and Teahen ahead of PK and Andruw.

Beckham has to hit lower in the order until he gets right.

I have a sneaking suspicion the phrase “non roster invitee” is in Carlos Quentin’s future.

I felt really good about Lucy coming to the plate with the bases loaded. At least Mr. Straight Edge retired him on nine pitches. AJ would have popped up on the first one.

If Rios leads off

Then Flowers can come up and DH, and we can just throw Pierre to the bench and Kotsay off the team.

by Akronsoxfan on Apr 28, 2010 7:59 AM CDT via mobile reply actions  

how bad?

this bad:

Question: What does Chris Coghlan have in common with Juan Pierre?

Answer: Those are the only two qualified batters with a .000 ISO.

Seeing Pierre’s name associated with no extra base hits is probably not too surprising. Through 80 plate appearances, Pierre’s line is .222/.282/.222. His career ISO is .071 and his projected ISO is .063 (rest of the season version). Last night, he went 0-4 which lowers those totals.
Everyone is dying to know just how this streak of power ineptitude matches up with the rest of Pierre’s career. As it turns out, his career high is 46 games, which took place in 2000 as a member of the Colorado Rockies. He also abstained for 30 games in 2002 (again, Rockies) and more than 20 games four other times with three of those coming as a Dodger.

3 million this year, 5 million next.

The Dodgers freed themselves of $8 million of the $18.5 million Pierre is owed over the next two seasons, as the White Sox agreed to pay $3 million of his salary in 2010 and $5 million in 2011.

I forgot we paid less this year.

low BB’s, low K’s – check
steals a few meaningless bags – check
playing DH and leading off when he shouldnt – check

someone mentioned it recently (Jim or Colin I think)

Infield hits seem to be lacking. If he beats 5 of those ground balls out, his numbers look like typical Pierre. If the BABIP stays below his career norms, is that evidence he’s lost a step?

everyone needs to follow @chavezcandanga
A close aide to Chavez, Public Works Minister Diosdado Cabello, said Monday that Chavez’s supporters plan to “take over by assault” social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook.

“The opposition thinks it owns the social networking sites. They think Twitter and Facebook belong to them,” Cabello was quoted as saying by the state news agency.

“We’re fighting and there are 7 million of us who will have Twitter,” he said, referring to members of Chavez’s party.

He said Chavez’s Twitter feed would carry messages “from our commander.”

Chavez, who was first elected in 1998, has built his presidency around being a communicator in touch with Venezuelans. In addition to a Sunday radio and TV program that lasts up to seven hours, Chavez also makes near-daily speeches on television that often last three hours or more.

The name chosen for his Twitter account — chavezcandanga — roughly translates as “devil” in some Latin American countries, but in Venezuela it can be used as an adjective to describe a rabble-rouser.

HQ game notes

CWS (Jake Peavy) at TEX (Rich Harden) 8:05

Peavy is not an advisable play until he shows some improvement in underlying skill indicators. The erstwhile San Diego ace gave up a career-high seven walks in his last start, and he has garnered just 10 strikeouts over his last 17.1 IP. His only halfway decent lines in two of his four starts have come against the Indians.
Dustin Nippert (RP, TEX) has been effective of late — the potential high-inning strikeout contributor has fanned nine over his last 7.2 IP. But he often throws a lot of pitches, so be sure to shuttle him on and off your lineup accordingly. On Tuesday night, Nippert threw 34 pitches in a two-inning stint.
Harden wears out Paul Konerko (1B, CWS), having allowed just one single in 15 career at-bats (2 BB, 4 SO).

We got 'em

but they’re throwing not batting. ‘course if liriano keeps spining that ball like he has been, that’s a good rotation in Minny, not a decent one.

Doh! You interrupted my typing

This, This is the real issue. Yes the Sox have started poorly but they are 8-12. Not the end of the world. Honestly nothing really has changed to say the Sox are not in the 83-86 win ball park. No what’s different is Minny’s start. Folks see it and are like shit, what if the are a 92-95 win team?

Could be, we’ll see, but a lot of teams have gotten off to hot starts and cooled and come back in line.

Yeah, but Minny was supposed to have an average rotation

Liriano king 10 per 9 is not the leader of an average rotation.

Fun with percentages

At this time in 2006, the Sox were on pace to win 110 games.

2007: 88

2008: 90

2009: 81

As for the eventual division winner, at this time in

2006: on pace to win 66

2007: 100

2008: Sox were on pace to win 90, and won 90. Huh.

2009: 77

“It’s early” still applies. But Vizquel in the 2-hole is…ugh.

Oh Carlos
@robneyer: Is there anything worse than striking out while getting hit by a pitch? Just happened to Milwaukee’s Carlos Gomez, got plunked in knee.

I can’t think of a more embarrassing baseball event.
