Phelps is good. Kind of lame that Americans would actually pull against him for any reason. I want all US athletes to kick arse at the Olympics. It's not his fault the media is following him around all the time. The guy has a chance to make history this year. If he was on team France, than I would agree with all you.

With Buehrle going for us and Hochever going for them, hopefully we won't need him.

Gus Johnson should announce the gymnastics. "She goes for the lanDING....OH! SHE STUCK IT! WATCH AND LEARN CHINA!"

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 09:42 PM) I love how we (North America) has the best players in every sport: Crosby NHL, Tiger PGA, Phelps whatever it's called, A-Rod MLB, Brady NFL, and Lebron/Kobe NBA. Way to go, Phelpsy! :usa Swimming?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 07:42 PM) I still can't believe Federer wasn't carrying the flag for his country. Also, it seemed like NBC could have cared less about Lopez Lemong carrying the flag. They were too busy showing the beach volleyball girls (talk about overrated in terms of hotness). Agreed. Just cuz a girl wears spandex doesn't mean they are hot. When I was young watching the Olympics, I used to have crushed on the female gymnasts. Now I feel dirty and wrong watching them.

These stories of people boycotting "Tropic Thunder" makes me wanna see it even more. It's fricking satire folks! Stop taking it so seriously. Geez!

I love when Javy pitches inside consistently.

Why does it feel like we are done scoring?

Alexei gonna get Bannister here.

I thought they were suppose to do this this season. I hate when Sat games are blacked out on MLB.tv cuz of Fox.

Micah Owings to Cincy as a PTBNL

Uh Oh

Q deserves a day off. We don't have an off day til next Thursday. Bannister has been brutal so maybe we can get a W without TCQ.

Or Bannister vs. some bum named Vazquez. Man up, Javy.

That ball hit the line.

KTAR 620 in Arizona reports that the Diamondbacks have acquired Adam Dunn from the Reds for three prospects. According to the radio station, the Reds will receive pitching prospect Dallas Buck and two players to be named later. A 2006 third-round pick who returned from Tommy John surgery in June, Buck has a 3.55 ERA and 28/11 K/BB ratio in 50 2/3 innings at Single-A. MLB.com confirms that the Diamondbacks have claimed Dunn off waivers, but reports only that the two sides "are close to working out a deal" for the impending free agent. Aug. 11 - 2:45 pm et

Just turned on HBO and "Transformers" is on, and there is Bernie Mac selling that annoying kid a used car.

Ha. I was flipping between Twins/KC and Nats/Brew. Watched KC win, flipped it to other game, and 2 pitched later, Kapler wins it ofr Milwaukee.

God forbid KC gets a clutch hit and win here.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 12:01 PM) If Beltre could get to the Sox on waivers, and if Mariners want something decent in return for Washburn, I'd much rather see the Sox do a deal where they get both players in a package. Losing good prospects wouldn't hurt as much knowing that we'd have a 3B under contract for '09 as well. I'd do Poreda + a couple pitching prospects (hopefully without including Griffith, Shirek, or Carter, but one would probably have to go) + all the throw-in guys like Cook, Owens, or Haeger the M's would want, but I doubt that would be enough. Richard, Broadway, and Egbert don't make it through waivers, and I wouldn't want to give up both Shelby and Poreda for those guys. Maybe there would be someone at the Class A level, besides Jose Martinez, who would interest Seattle. That said, I doubt Beltre gets through because he's a guy that teams would be interested in and also know will be available. I like the way you think, but doubt that will be able to get done for both Beltre and Washburn. Jarrod doesn't excite me but what are our options, ya know?

Gload would of got a hit if he was facing us.
