maggsmaggs Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Seems like a very even pitching match-up. Having a feeling though that Gavin will get small balled to death in that s***hole dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hopefully today's home plate ump isn't god awful (at least the ump last night was consistently bad for both teams). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 f*** me. I could have had tickets to watch the game at the Cell and go into the locker rooms and eat a buffet. I thought it was a day game today and turned it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 How is Castro's arm? If it's halfway decent I wouldn't mind seeing him get a start today or tomorrow. AJ has no chance of throwing out a runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's halfway decent I wouldn't mind seeing him get a start today or tomorrow. AJ has no chance of throwing out a runner. You really wanna take him out after his 8/17 in his last four games? He's on a roll right now, you gotta ride his hot streak. And in July, he's hitting .462 with a 1.270 OPS. We need his bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'm glad the dome will be gone, but why in earth would they not build a retractable roof for their new stadium? Those games in April, late Septemeber, and maybe October are going to brutal. Â If a team builds a new stadium, it makes no sense to build to retractable roof, IMO, unless your team is located in California or Texas. I absolutely love how Milwaukee's stadium is set up (except for the LF bleachers, I think they are too far away from the playing field). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â As far as the retractable roof, wasn't it too expensive? I think voters kept voting down new stadium plans. The only hope was an all outdoor place I think. I can't understand the umps' horrible strike zone squeezing pitchers but it's been this way for years now. Umpires invented their own strike zone and nobody has ever really explained why.

caulfield12 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 How he won 20 games for that 97 Twins' team is a mystery that will never be solved....almost 150 career wins, in 2006 he was pitching in tremendous pain the entire season but refused surgery and just gutted it out. That was an incredible stretch drive in the 2nd half to overtake the White Sox and Tigers on the last day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's being honored for anything, its those classic "Intangibles". Â Seriously, didn't we always just hate facing him?

Â Â When Garland has 9 career opening day starts for the White Sox. Â Mark Buehrle is a better pitcher than Radke of course, but I think in terms of franchise importance over a very long period of struggle and losing before they finally righted the ship in 2001/02, he's closer to Mark than he is to Jon Garland.
