Comment on Lillibridge creates new statistical category by trachelospermum

Well Scott, I marked April 26 on my calendar like you said. By the time I decided to mark another important moment in the season — middle of the 7th on May 11 — the White Sox had ripped off 5 WASLC wins in 13 tries and were 3 runs down in their 14th try.

The important event of which I speak is a White Sox specific statistic I like to track called MTGOWAI (Mark Teahen goes out with an injury). When he took himself out of the game that night in the 7th, he was 0 for 3 and the Sox were down 3 runs. Omar Vizquel replaced him and whacked a double to drive in a run in the 8th and then drove in the tying run with a sac fly in the 9th. After MTGOWAI the Sox scored 5 unanswered runs. They won the game in extras and Thornton got his 1st save. Since then and including that game, the White Sox have 8 MTGOWAI wins in 11 tries.

I began tracking MTGOWAI when the opportunity came up last season, and from the early results this year it seems history is repeating itself. By now, MTGOWAI has become more than a statistic: it’s my personal philosophy and I chant at games. But will anybody take him? Jerry R. should step in and be sure that Omar gets the chance for 3,000 hits. If MT instead stands in the way of that, what a shame that will be.

Great post! Hopefully Lillibridge will be the catalyst that the team needs to get back on the right track!

He really seems to be an all-round nice guy. Plus he may be right, too. Congrats Brent!

Why stop at just opening day? Why not make it a White Sox expectation? I think this could do wonders for the team as a sort of PR move in uniting the fans. The White Sox have been aching for an identity since the Frank Thomas days. This could really show the team that Chicago has not forgotten them. I say we may as well make it a spectacle. Allen D.

Comment on White Sox never made offer to Martinez by tichy.joe@gmail.com

I’m perfectly content with the signing of Dunn and re-signings of Konerko and Pierzynski. You won’t find many better clubhouse guys than those three.

I’ve been trying to stay on top of what the sox are doing this winter. Reading as many articles about both the sox and other teams trying to rid themselves of some players. The sox seem to have a stock pile of young players on the cusp of being major league ready. What im wondering is can these players be put in a package to get a players like Prince Fielder or Zach Greinke both players who will be coming on contract years soon. If not trade the prospects then possible trade a few of the larger contract starters from the sox and get one of these guys to open up spots for the younger prospects. Can a deal like this be pulled off or will the sox pass on the bidding for some of these stars.

Comment on Jenks on the spot–fair or not by warrior10

Rename this gasoline can Bobby Junks, because that is what he’s throwing. The Sox need a closer and he’s not one. He’s fat and he’s a head case. Between him and Putz, the Sox have blown or almost blown the last ten games. If Ozzie can’t get past his loyalty, then maybe Kenny Williams should get past his loyalty to both Junks and the Wizard.
