Minnesota Twins Delenda Est. Wednesday, April 26, 2006. Friend of Black Betsy Aaron S. wrote on the White Sox e-mail list:. Is it me, Or have we already been on the upside of more laughers this season than all of last season? An interesting question. One that requires a definition - what is a laugher? Good teams get a lot of laughers in a season. They are both a demonstration of a good team and helpful to a good team at once. If you have a laugher, you can rest your starters, your key closers, an...Segme...

Minnesota Twins Delenda Est. Sunday, April 30, 2006. Sometimes I fear that I'm one of Doug's only readers, and that is a crying shame. He's the best analyst of Sox baseball there is, period. If you are a Sox fan, you should like Doug's writing. He's a reformed stat-head, who looks much deeper that AVG/OBP/SLG lines indicate. He looks for the context that makes the statistics meaningful. Here's an example. You might think. While not every one of Doug's posts is going to be a winner, I really enjoyed.

Minnesota Twins Delenda Est. Sunday, April 23, 2006. 2006 On Its Own. Has a thought-provoking post. Over at Exile in Wrigleyville asking Sox fans to stop comparing 2006 to 2005. Vince argues:. Vince is right. Every season should stand on its own, although teams should make efforts not to. And it is true, the 2006 team has a much different feel than the 2005 variety. I've slowly got this feeling over the first few weeks of the season. In early 2005, and Baseball Prospectus even had an. Finally, and most i...

Minnesota Twins Delenda Est. Sunday, April 08, 2007. Sox 3, Minnesota 0? Jim on the Sox list may have phrased it best: Who was that on the mound for the White Sox Saturday, and what has he done with Javier Vazquez? Some of my reactions to Javier Vazquez over the years:. Vazquez just sucks. He pitches to lose. He is more afraid of hitters than. Any starter I've ever seen. He is simply petrified of throwing the ball. Over the plate or inside. And every mistake he makes is hit hard because. On tilt at a mom...

Minnesota Twins Delenda Est. Saturday, April 29, 2006. Sox 8, Los Angeles of Anaheim 5. Hooray for Jeff Weaver. After dominating the Sox early in his career (or so it seemed), he's really turned it around and become a reliable victory for the Sox. His control was non-existent, even if he had his strikeout pitch working, and he grooved a number of cookies for Sox hitters to munch on. Only Jermaine Dye homered for the Sox. Here is your ERV scoresheet / boxscore:. Player of the Game:. Pitcher of the Game:.

Minnesota Twins Delenda Est. Sunday, April 15, 2007. Absurd Stat Line of the Month. I was checking up the status of some of the White Sox's pitching prospects in. When I came across this. For Dewon Day. Now, Day, at 27 in Double-A, isn't much of a prospect. But I think you have to wake up and take notice when you see that a guy has 16 strikeouts against only 1 walk. In 5 and 2/3rds innings! Maybe the most amazing combination of stats I've ever seen. Posted by SuperNoVa @ 2:04 PM. By the way, when you wri...

Minnesota Twins Delenda Est. Saturday, May 06, 2006. Blowing Leads, and the Bullpen. I wrote a detailed response to someone's point on the Sox e-mail list, so I thought I'd cross-post here:. To: Sox e-Mail Listserv. What bothers me is the Sox have blown enough games already to have opened up. A pretty good lead, despite Detroit's hot start. From: Comic Book Guy. To: Sox e-Mail Listserv.

Minnesota Twins Delenda Est. Saturday, September 02, 2006. I Don't Get It Either. That's what I wrote to someone on the Sox e-mail list about this Sox team. Despite terrific offseason acquisitions like Jim Thome and (as it looked at the time) Javier Vazquez, this team is struggling down the stretch. It has been. It could not close the deal against the Devil Rays. And they have lost consistently to Minnesota - 4 out of the 6 games they played. It is that the starting staff has failed:. Garland had a great...

Minnesota Twins Delenda Est. Saturday, April 29, 2006. As I was looking at the. American League hitting leaders. Marveling at Paul Konerko's lofty .386 average, I was a little surprised to see AJ Pierzynski rolling in at #9 with a .359 average. I was vaguely aware that AJ was hitting in the mid-.300's, but didn't know he was putting up a .359/.395/.408 line. The good news is that AJ's performance is not a character defect. He hit .294/.361/.492 with runners on base. Posted by SuperNoVa @ 5:01 PM. Segment...

Minnesota Twins Delenda Est. Tuesday, May 03, 2005. Does Jon Garland's Hot Start Remind You Of Something? You know what just popped into my head? The White Sox have had another guy with a low strikeout rate like Jon Garland have a great start in the recent past. His name was. And you probably felt pretty good about his chances at being a top-of-the-rotation starter on. The 15th day of May 1999. Do I think Jon Garland is going to wind up like John Snyder - banished to the Brewers in a year's time? Was the...
