Thanks for MacDougal as well ;0))) big win for ChiSox after losing last night. 2/3 from A's in Oakland is solid. 
two hits sir!Not worried....yet. Guy has skills. I hope they are patient with him. Offense really needs to get going though.I've been pleasantly surprised by the pitching. Greinke looks great. Meche is like the old Meche. Perez is the only one disappointing.
hangin with Gordon...
Agreed...Meche + Greinke are no Randy/Schilling, but they are better than people know.I, as did many national media people, projected KC to be a top6-7 offense in the AL. You look at Dejesus, Sweeney, Teahen, Gordon, Shealy, heck even role players like Brown and Gload --- this team will hit. They cannot be thsi bad all season, can they?This team could be fairly competitive if the hitting comes around. The pitching looks fantastic. Of course, Odalis goes today
No, they can't. And they won't. Look at the pitchers they've gone up against: Schilling, Beckett, Dice-K, Burnett, Bedard, Bonderman, etc. They've gone up against some of the best pitchers in the AL. It'll get better. They've had some less than stellar games against Trachsel, etc, but these guys will hit.Oh, and for all the hype around Gordon, I'll be cool with him hitting .275, 10-15 dingers, and play good defense.Agreed...Meche + Greinke are no Randy/Schilling, but they are better than people know.I, as did many national media people, projected KC to be a top6-7 offense in the AL.

Well, and if Grienke hadn't officially imploded
Greinke moved to the 'pen.In deep/AL-only leagues I think he could be worth hanging on to if there's very little else on the waiver wire, but in your standard 12-14 team, 22-24 man roster league, you're probably better off picking someone else up. He's been unlucky, but he's also been pretty bad since his first two starts. I managed to deal him a week ago, so I feel extremely fortunate right now.
Mashing the ball last 20 games.
What's to talk about? They're in last-place, 13.5 games out. That's a popular topic now?
Nothing to talk about for casual fans.......but for those who follow every team, there is a lot to talk about with this team. Sorry you are blind to that fact bud.
Impressive sweep.
right. die-hard baseball fans are all standing around right now talking about the royals. 
:sigh:They have 2 of the best young players up in the bigs right now (Butler and Gordon) and outside of Upton, I'd take my chances with either of them over any of the young players the Rays have.
Where did I say people should be talking about the Rays? ps: you would take butler over crawford?:sigh:They have 2 of the best young players up in the bigs right now (Butler and Gordon) and outside of Upton, I'd take my chances with either of them over any of the young players the Rays have.right. die-hard baseball fans are all standing around right now talking about the royals.
And as much as I respect your obviously vast baseball knowledge, I don't think there were too many prospect sheets out there with Butler ranked over Delmon Young. In fact, I'd guess zero.pps: You're not also a Royals fan now too, are you? Kind of bad form to bandwagon an entire division.
Crawford's young? He's been in the bigs for like 5 yearsPS: Mets beat the Cardinals last night. Did you cry and cheer at the same time?Where did I say people should be talking about the Rays? ps: you would take butler over crawford?:sigh:They have 2 of the best young players up in the bigs right now (Butler and Gordon) and outside of Upton, I'd take my chances with either of them over any of the young players the Rays have.

He's 25. Butler isn't anywhere near as good of a prospect as Delmon is either. But, I know your baseball knowledge is limited at best, so we won't go any further.Crawford's young?

you can try to pigeonhole this in as many times as you want. but the facts are:a) you're not funny. b) I wasn't a fan of either. c) you were a "die-hard" fan of another team and left that team to root for somebody else about to win a title. carry on.
A. Last time you said that about 3 people chimed in laughing at my comment. I'll guess you're wrongB. That's what all bandwagon fans say. I'll guess you're lyingC. The White Sox were about to win a title in Jaunary of 2000? I'll be damned. Could have sworn they didn't win it until 2005He's 25.

Ok lhucks. Tell me more about how billy butler is better than both crawford and young.
Crawford is an established MLB ball player, 25 or not, he's not someone I consider young in baseball terms.
Top-25 isn't really in the neighborhood of the #1 prospect, but I can see what you're saying. I'd consider Taurean Green over Greg Oden tonight as well, because he has a better attitude.
a) you're not funny
don't be mad at me because you made a stupid comment.it is a good idea to steal shtick off of me though.
Yes Cappy, you're the first person to tell someone their not funny.don't be mad at me because you made a stupid comment.it is a good idea to steal shtick off of me though.
