Why buy the cow when the milk is kinda bitchy?
by SkanchoDanza on Aug 1, 2011 6:52 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
i feel sub-optimal. (temp of 90 and dew point of 75 will do that)
also, i have a really stupid feeling that rios is going to hit a home run off of captain cheeseburger.

Sabathia-Peavy would've been a dream match-up in 2007.
Alas, now I smell a pounding.
Frank Thomas's wOBA at the time of the 1994 strike was .497. He was on pace to hit 54 homers, drive in 152 runs, walk 152 times, and pile up 10.5 WAR.

Ladies and gentlemen . . . your 2011 White Sox!
i like how in the 4th inning they showed quentin's good numbers in his last 14 games.
here’s some other numbers. in his last seven games plus today he is batting .179 with 4 singles, 1 double and 9 strike outs. his slugging percentage, .214. his OBP, .207. (that’s an OPS of .421 if you don’t feel like doing the addition)
ugh.
(also, he has seen exactly four pitches in each of his last four plate appearances. if he gets four pitches in his next plate appearance it will tie his record for most consecutive plate appearances seeing the same number of pitches. he saw three pitches in five straight plate appearances spanning the games on april 25th and 26th against the yankees.)

because he is such a sparkplug for this offense. He is the starter log. quentin is the little box of snakes for the whole fireworks show we call dropping a match on the ground and clapping.

Joe Sheehan spitting hot fire!
The people who get all up in arms over how steroid use defiles baseball are nowhere to be found when something truly offensive happens. Jerry Reinsdorf, who I’m reasonably sure can order from the whole menu, forced his GM to deal away the White Sox’ #2 starter solely to save money over the next two seasons, getting nothing of baseball value in return but a mid-rotation prospect. He did this while his team was within 3 1/2 games of first place, a spot held by a team that had been outscored. So spare me the PED outrage and the whining about the integrity of the game. Selling off one of your best players in a pennant race for what amounts to a rounding error in your bank book is a hell of a lot more offensive than anything a baseball player ever did with a needle. Sportswriters, write about that.
The White Sox could win this division. I picked them to win it at the start of the year, and they’re four games out with 56 to play, with the same run differential as the teams in front of them. It’s just a shame their owner is a schmuck, because few teams had such obvious, upgradable roster spots.

Does Sale through a bit harder though? Hamels is definitely more polished. I would take that.
Did he throw slower in College as a starter?
You are probably right but I dont think it will be too significant. Those few mph should not matter much if he is able to consistently hit with the slider
it happens with pretty much every pitcher
they hit their max speed much more often as a reliever because you are throwing so many fewer pitches. i’m guessing sale could be 90-94 as a starter
Joe Buck is just White Noise to me. It’s like the game is being called by a CD of whale songs. - mechanical turk
Does Not seem like
THe changeup has been thrown too much in his two years here. I did hear that as well though. That could really put him over the top.
scouting report on Sale from before the draft
Chris Sale, LHP, Florida Gulf Coast University
Sale attracted the attention of scouts last summer in the Cape Cod League, and has maintained that momentum this spring with a 2.48 ERA and a 78/8 K/BB in 58 innings, with 55 hits allowed. His exceptional K/BB and K/IP ratios reflect the fact that he has excellent command of his 90-95 MPH fastball, terrific changeup, and developing slider. Tall and lean at 6-5, 180, he has an attractive combination of polish and stuff, and could still have some remaining physical projectability. He won’t get out of the Top Ten picks, and seems a logical candidate for the Indians at five or the Diamondbacks at six.
from minorleagueball
Silva did that in 2005, but in like 190 innings.

2 questions for you Sox fans:
1. Do you like listening to the “Hawk”? Or have just simply gotten used to it?
2. Has the white sox management ever explained why Sale is still in the bullpen? His stuff looks electric. Does he tire quickly or something?
we like it cause hes our homer
Joe Buck is just White Noise to me. It’s like the game is being called by a CD of whale songs. - mechanical turk
he makes losses worse, his mood affects mine
when he is giddy, i am constantly reminded that he is capable of disgust at any moment. he is like the tide except not soothing, fun or functional
what if his face were made of barbecue spare ribs, would you eat it then?

i've never personified it before, so now i'm stuck with hawk.
let this be a lesson to all, be careful when you go personifying satellites.
he sure likes to examine his own anus

i'm not saying he will.
all i am saying is that you have placed your stake in the ground.
stand by it, even if he turns into babe ruth in his prime from here on out.
I think it already has been an historical season for him.
It’s the quality of the history that’s the issue.

do you think i can cut the letters and numbers of my rios jersey
and turn it into a sale one?
Joe Buck is just White Noise to me. It’s like the game is being called by a CD of whale songs. - mechanical turk
you could probably take the jersey, ball it up, and use it to smother its namesake
not that i’d dream of suggesting such a thing
you should keep that jersey as a constant reminder to never purchase an active players jersey
i still see swisher jerseys at the cell. the only jersey i own is nellie fox away 59’
im thinking frank thomas
hard to get a better guarantee

should be safe with paulie from this point on.
even if he murders a bunch of kids, he’ll still be a hero.
he would be the second choice
then sale I think

absolutely.
hell, you could get a podsednik jersey and be 100 times better off than you would with a rios.
I love my AJ jersey.
AJ gets a pass.

Sale needs to spend some time with MB
To work on that pick off move.
Is there anything more depressing
than seeing Rivera on the mound right now?
Oh wait…Rios is stepping in.

Rios didn't bail out on that swing.
Whales! Squids! Sharks! They're everywhere! Hello, I am Poseidon! Now, when people told me I was crazy that thinly sliced roast beef would be a delicious fast-food option, I knew it was the greatest idea, and you can thank me later for Arby's.
Need some help from those watching the game
Seems Sox have had quite a few line drives (according to GameChannel) with RISP today. How many were hard hit but right at someone?
Am I wrong to block out my morning calendar to follow the White Sox game?

Morel's had three of them.
Two were hard-hit, turned into double plays. The other was a floater to right.

I blame this whole season to date on Ozzie, Mandruw Kojones, Jerry Owens, and Darrin Erstad.
Because I think they’re a big reason why Alex Rios and Adam Dunn are on this team. Screw all of ’em in da face.

fucker couldn’t play CF without being a douche.

that sheehan rant was out of line
but we don’t need a total JR love in, either. loyalty is basically nice for shitty employees and nobody else.
I imagine if you had cervelli catching valverde

him and john rocker,
and the universe would just stop. no implosion, explosion or any other kind of plosion.
just .
They would probably get really competitive with their fist pumping...
then while trying to outdo each other, one of them would blow a rotator cuff or have their bicep snap. Thereby averting universal disaster. So no worries, there are protocols in place for such things.

Our win expectancy was 55% before that bunt pop out with men on 1st/2nd no out.
It kinda plummeted from there.
