Brian

Shields scared Beckham will tie it even with nobody on.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 09:01 PM) The classic Carlos Quentin "f***!" He tried to do too much with that pitch. Recognized the change and tried to hit it on the fundamentals deck.

Aardsma in Detroit...gulp!

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 08:41 PM) The first time I saw him go the other way as a plan was Monday night. Hence another reason an all fields gap machine who makes contact like crazy might be a nice change for the 2 hole. I'd be fine with it, but Alexei isn't killing us in the 2 hole and Beckham at the bottom of the order creates a lot of balance.

If Alexei didn't figure out after 2 pitches that they were pitching him away, he is dumb.

Game 2.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 08:35 PM) You use text message for this? lol omg

You know you're done when you give up a homer to Gabe Gross.

Stop pitching Burrell inside, please.

I never really thought James Shields was all that good. His ball must move more than I can see on TV since we aren't hitting much hard off him.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 08:19 PM) And I'm calling a TCQ homer this inning. Book it. You suck.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 08:14 PM) Am I the only one who thinks Tampa is far and away the best team we've faced this season? This lineup is so balanced and dangerous. They'll have that distinction for another week.

Diaz needs to get the goose sh*t outta his eyes.

Damn, Seattle's lineup outside #51 is garbage.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 07:19 PM) Cardinals needed middle infield help a lot more than they needed another outfielder. Ryan and Schumacker have been pretty solid. With only Ludwick and Rasmus producing in the OF, I'd have to disagree. I know they have put their toe in the water about Holliday.

What's with Hawk giving scores every 2 minutes? Talk about our game.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 07:33 PM) bases juiced now for the top of the order....we should be outta this inning Navarro was safe at first.

Not the worst walk in the world, unless Upton does damage of course.

Of course, Bartlett would come up in this situation.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 07:29 PM) I hate L. Diaz. That's a blatant strike. Ever since that Cub fan tried to take him down.

http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/another-site...-dunk-vid-25219 It's borderline getting "dunked on". IMO Crawford going for the dunk, Lebron came over late and didn't go for the block that strongly. James haters will love it none the less.

Wait? The dog was a girl but had a guys voice? Disappointing and deceitful.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 07:00 PM) I nominate anyone who uses only their first name, and if it's not their first name, it's weird. Brian, Jake, etc.... real creative. Let's talk about this outside.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 06:43 PM) Talk about a horrible deal for the Cardinals. Julio Lugo sucks. At least Chris Duncan still has some potential. Chris Duncan does nothing well. Every fly ball is an adventure for him and he is an awful hitter.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 06:03 PM) looks like Matt Holliday is doing Beane a favor and getting hot leading up to the deadline Read numerous things about Oakland is fine with getting the draft picks for Holliday and are not urgent to trade him.
