Positive from tonight's game.
Zach Stewart assumes a bullpen role tonight and Ks 5 of the 6 batters he faces.

Paulie looked fine the other night, went from 2nd to 3rd on a fly to center and looks like the vertical movement is back. I know Liilibeast ain't the best option but still looks better than AD, I'm still waiting for them to bring up Tank. I thought he could play 1st. I'm more concerned with the back stop right now. When you bring up a .158 AAA hitter you know your in trouble. I'm thinking Castro may be close to starting some re-hab.

Yeah, that looked pretty sick, especially the way he fell backwards. I hope he's feeling well enough to make his next start.

Bangs a triple last night and drives in the winning run then homers today- Great Balls of Fire. De Aza with more proof that he should be starting. I say that the Sox just give Dunn the rest of the year off and roll the dice...'Limp Ditka said:

Alex Rios is just awful. How someone that's played CF for about 500 games doesn't catch that ball is beyond me.

That wasn't an easy play, and Flowers catching the ball in front of the plate didn't help, but he really needs to not catch that ball flat footed.That was a pretty close play at home. Much closer that I thought Rios would have made it.

Agreed. I also heard Hawk crying about Flowers in front of the plate. I'm not going to eat his lunch for that. I don't think it would have been that close of a play if he caught it back further imo.That wasn't an easy play, and Flowers catching the ball in front of the plate didn't help, but he really needs to not catch that ball flat footed.That was a pretty close play at home.

So now that the season is all but over- what are the initial plans for next year? Who will stay? Who will go? Is Ozzie out? Can Kenny finally just go ride the back off into the sunset? Is Dunn going to train in the offseason and get his revenge in 2012? Can the team go into the season with the bullpen set? Can they possibly get a winning record at home? Do the schedule makers give them another 7 game home series with the Red Sox and Yankees in late July/August to crush any hope of playoffs the way it went down in 2010 and 2011?

They can buy Dunn's huge contract out and just cut him for all I care. Talk about a guy packing it in.

Talk about numbing- why didn't they put Q on the DL and bring up DV?'Widbil83 said:

Twins designated hitter Jim Thome, always the gentleman, smiled as he said, "I have no comment.''
Reports on Wednesday had the Chicago White Sox as one of the teams placing a waiver claim on the Twins slugger, raising the possibility he could jump out of a Twins ship that's taking on water for a life raft headed for the Windy City, where the White Sox were 6 1/2 games out of first place in the AL Central.

Kid's a stud. Makes me laugh how people were bashing him earlier in the year when he was like 0-6 with an ERA under 4.00.Since June 1st he's 6-1 with a 2.03 ERA and a 1.01 ERA. K'd just under a guy per inning, and a 5/1 K/BB.Danks has been lights out... making himself some
Not to mention run support during those 6 losses was probably sub 2.'Limp Ditka said:Kid's a stud.

Danks the stud?
6-9
Averages less than 6.5 innings so far in 2011
2-4 in the division so far in 2011
1 complete game vs Seattle a 53-72 club that is hitting .234 which is probably dead last in the league
FYI- 4-8 in the division in 2010; 1-5 vs the division in August and September
4-8 vs the division in 2009; 1-3 vs the division in August and September
10-5 vs the division in 2008
5-6 vs the division in 2007; finished the season losing 7 straight games

Because there's no reason to when you have someone like Sale to match up against LHPs when needed. Ozzie has really handled to bullpen brilliantly over the 2nd half of the season.'Da Guru said:

Like your credibility could take another hit. Please just stop posting in this thread. You clearly, as always, have no idea what you are talking about. Thanks

You consistently defend a GM that has butchered this team and now you go out of your way to tell me that a guy that is 6-9 is a stud? He has a CG vs a team like Seattle and now he is a stud? You seem to be lolly-popping JD almost as much as yer boy Kenny. I have read your drivel for a few years now but the only thing that changes is the team just keeps sucking more and a guy that is 6-9 and struggles in the division is a stud. And yes- if he was such a stud he might just last into the 7th inning a little more often. Only a Cub fan would think that a guy that is 6-9 is a stud. Your excuses are legendary....

And your idiocy knows no bounds. His struggles in the division seem to be based on your impression of what struggling is and some made up stats.
I've admitted that Kenny's f'ed some stuff up. The Rios claim and the Dunn signing will be his swan song. Still think Ozzie needs to be he fall guy here, but wouldn't blink if they both got canned.
But for you to bash Danks just shows how monumentally stupid you are when it comes to this baseball thing. The guy's pitched at an all-star level for the majority of the last 5 years. The performance shows it, the numbers show up and the only way you can dispute it is to make up crap and look the other way when you get called out on it.

Made up stats? That is funny. I don't keep the stats. MLB keeps the stats and as far as I know- I have always mentioned that Danks needs to put on the big boy pants and get over the hump into the elite MLB status of pitching. A loss is a loss. Sorry. He is 6-9 for a reason.
Bashing Danks? I just questioned his "stud" status. Verlander? He is a stud. Cliff Lee? Stud. John Danks? Needs to get over the hump. Besides- if he is losing games that he pitched so well in- what does that say about the offense? The offense is terribly inconsistent. We know this as a fact and as you have indicated- Williams has made some bad moves because he has gambled too much. He hit it in 2005 and he has been hit or miss since then. Too many misses.
The problem with this team is Ozzie and Kenny. They fight like two little spoiled brats and it has ruined this team. They still have a shot. Amazingly they have a shot. If they can win 7 of the next 9 they might just get back to 3 games but this year has all the makings of a GM and a manager playing games while the chairman tries to keep the piece. Add in a slow start, Rios and Dunn's ineptness and early season bullpen woes and here we are. However, I think that overreacting about posts has always been your demise guy. Lighten up shooter- it's just a game and when the team sucks they are going to get hammered and when they win- they are going to get credit...

I don't want stats to get in the way of a good argument, so go look them up for yourself. Like I said before, congrats on having a team that can provide run support.

The White Sox are only five games back in the American League Central. Plus they moved into second place on Sunday, for the first time since April 12, and they still have six games left with the Tigers. including a big series in Detroit this weekend.
The White Sox have the lowest ERA in the AL since May 7, at 3.53. Given the tigers history of failing late in the season, I still think the Sox have a shot a winning the central.
