Why? He has a terrible on-base percentage.

Well yea...Cabrera shouldn't be hitting there either.
I don't watch a lot of White Sox baseball (I'd rather be attacked by locusts then listen to that god-awful announcer) but I found it odd that Ozzie hits his weak OBP guys up front and then hides Swisher 8th, or at least he did this weekend. And this guy has openly wondered why his team can't score consistent runs? Christ, he should have Swisher hitting 1 or 2.

That's what I'm saying, Alexei is clearly the best option they have right now.Swish hit up in the lineup to begin the year and he was terrible.

Alexei is simply amazing...what a find...wicked hands...plays the game with the same joy we all did in little league...will be a real-life/fantasy stud at the SS position for the next 5 years...
Did that AJ foul ball hit the warehouse? 500 feet isn't a stretch, what a moonshot...

Twins lose
Too bad they couldn't have got the first game of the doubleheader.

I love when an occasional fan throws in their 2 cents. The missile is still very raw but in due time he may be one of the most profilic and complete player for the Sox. He bats either 7 or 8 right ahead of the free swinging Juan Uribe. His OBP is low becuase he doesn't take many walks but his slugging and avg is unheard of these days for someone at the bottom of the order. And for all you doubters he bats leadoff and goes 4 for 5 and plays short (his position in the future). The things he can do with the glove, oh my. I think Kenny found a diamond in the rough along with Q. Now if we can get someone to work on his base stealing we may have a true lead-off man. Is Raines still with the organization?Capella said:

need to complete the sweep tonight and hope the M's do the same. Then on to Boston and Cleveland (what has gotten into the Tribe?). Like to build a 5 game cushion before the Twinkies return home, outside of them having to go to Tampa their schedule is pretty soft. Sounds like Linebrink will be back next week. Please no more Dotel!!!! Any update on Swish's foot?

huh? He did run himself into an out, only to be let off the hook by a bad call. I don't call that making something out of a ####### mistake, I call it luck.

Wasn't this last week?OF COURSE getting caught in the rundown is a bad play. Once he was in the rundown, putting out his elbow and acting like there was interference was a GOOD PLAY. It was lucky to get a bad call, but hustling and quick thinking led to that luck, where as giving himself up would have 100 percent led him to an out.
I can't believe I have to explain this to you.

Yes, it was last week. But just recently MLB came out and said they screwed up(see quoted part)Was it the quick thinking, and hustle that got him in the rundown in the first place?Wasn't this last week?OF COURSE getting caught in the rundown is a bad play.

Can you guys lose a few games once in while? It's hard for us Twins fans to keep up with the WS, the way the WS are playing. Thank you in advance
They just lost 2 in a row to Boston, HTH.

In before Power Monster calls the season a failure and blames everything on Kenny Williams

Man, I feel bad for Quentin. I'm a Cubs fan, but that really sucks. What a bonehanded move. If the Sox falter in his absence, he's never gonna live this down.
Apparently against the Tribe the other night he hit his barrel hard after a foul ball and that's when it happened.Not good.

You're saying it's not?

I would not that this season is a failure. They exceeded my expectations by far. If you have told me the Sox would be in first In September, I would not have believed it.CQ going down is a huge blow. Nicky Swish will have to play left, with Konerko at 1st and Thome at DH. As long as Junior stays on the bench they might be all right. Let%s see what this teamm is made of.

You know my feelings on the White Sux but I hate when stuff like this happens to any player on any team at this point in the season. I said on a Tigers forum a week ago that the WS would go to the WS because they have the right elements to make them a tough match-up for any opponent and I couldn't say that about any of the other teams. Losing Contreras is one thing, losing Quentin is quite another. They need Swisher to start playing like they thought he could play.

I actually thought they were the worst of the five AL contenders before the CQ injury. Not piling on or anything, just curious how you would see them beating Boston or Tampa in the first round, and then either the other or LA in the ALCS.

Because they have good pitching and they hit a lot of HRs along with being a team with a great homefield advantage. It's not a knock against the other teams and I'm not saying the White Sox are better on a spreadsheet, but I think they are a tough match-up. I could see them winning a lot of 3-2 or 4-3 games on a couple of HRs and being solid everywhere else. I'd love to be wrong though.

Not a shock, but add Crede to the list
