They really bungled the McDougal situation. Also, not getting a second SP at the deadline could prove costly. I know people here like Fedde, but he’s not a serious rotation option. Really need one of Urqudiy, Shane Smith, or Thorpe to step here in the coming weeks.

It's not a very vibrant color for sure.

In before Ron can derail us, let's get back on the right track!

@JoeCredeYes start tomorrow’s thread NOW.

Did Stone Pony just say, “…when you have 17 inches to work with…”?

Huge win. The negativity is fucking outrageous sometimes.

That was the most descriptive umpire call confirmed I've ever heard

Lol Schriff Dawg sucking Urquidy off and he immediately gives up a long ball

At least he acquired Bart, even though it didn’t work out. But yeah, these are the scraps you are left with at catcher post deadline. I still think not acquiring a second starter was the far worse decision.

Win this series. Not negotiable.

I met him once at batting cages in Bartlett around 2008, he was showing off his bat benches(which were very cool and I think he has put a few of them around the park) and when he shook my hand, all I could think was this man has the biggest strongest hands I have ever shook before lol. I became facebook friends with him and he always wishes me happy birthday every year lol

I liked Len Kaspers idea....play regular baseball for 11 or 12 innings and let it end in a tie. It's a long friggin season....I would leave the stadium or sleep better with a tie than with a bullshit Manfred loss. Who in the fucks idea was it initially to award a guy 2B who's only accomplishment was making the last out in the previous inning??

We believe in JCY (Not Ron)

You guys are pathetic. Team birthday dinner for Grichuk with wives and girlfriends.

Nice cans on the brunette!

Every time Romo comes up to bat I think the same exact thing: “Oh God, Romo is up.”

Chase is a winner.

Ump says it like he's pissed off that Detroit even challenged it lol

Padres just added 2 more runs in the 7th, 7-4 over Cleveland

Peters with a huge come back game.

Benny sees a ball headed toward the corner and hopes it goes foul because that's a lot of running

Shutdown inning!

It would be really cool if Braden was a Tigers killer like I remember Crede being.

Really great to see Braden with a game like this. Really need him down the stretch.

A shame that some of our fair-weather friends left us early-- and they know who they are!

Hey @fathom Tigers have no pitching.

All the Panicans leaving down 2 runs after 3. Will see you back in a few innings!

Let’s be honest, this battery should be in AAA and NEVER mattering in a pennant race

Also, I think that’s strike 3 if Romo challenged

Keep working counts and get that pitch count up for Jobe. Get to the pen early.

Am I just simplifying it too much by saying that Vargas and C Mont need to occasionally start trying to hit opposite field? I feel like this is so obvious.

Pisses me off so much. We should have easily been able and motivated enough to exceed the package Cleveland gave for Foster Griffin. Something like Oppor / Bush / Carela / Zalava

f*** them. They are losers. Sweep them.

Didn't even like or respond to him how savage 😢

I checked to see if he wished me HBD this year and he did! lol

Not that Martin was any good, but basically having 3 starters for the next month is grim.

I think that kind of goes back to how the team invest. The Padres aren't afraid to spend, whereas the Sox were more worried about surface parking lots. They could have built themselves a ballpark complex in Bridgeport, but chose to keep it as parking lots. And honestly, I have only what I have seen with the Suns to have an idea what to expect from Ishbia, but it looks like they weren't afraid to spend. Also with the Amtrak project, it doesn't seem like they only want to do the minimum like we saw with New Comiskey. Who knows how it ends up, but after 45 years of Jerry, I am more than excited to try something new.

Just remember this time to make tomorrow, Sunday, and Mondays game thread after we sweep these schmucks.

Would imagine it's just as much for benefits/health care...

Fascinating watching how the Tribune and Sun-Times are operating under Alden Capital and Chicago Public Media, respectively.

Thorpe had a great outing in Charlotte today. I'm not keen on needing to rely on a guy coming off TJ surgery for a pennant push, but give him a start or two and let Martin phantom IL for his "blister." I really hate the way McDougal was used since being called up. Kid sat for 11 days without seeing game action. Just seems like a total misuse of the kid. I was fine with the way the deadline turned out, but I do really fear Getz fumbled by not adding another SP to this group.

@ron883, seriously, WTF? Are you trolling me too?

LOL. If you knew nothing about baseball, this would be the most triumphant post of all time… Until the last sentence
