Brian

When did his water break? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Mark Teahen will hit bombs off us but goes down in the clutch to Reyes.

For all our Twinkie scoreboard watching. Nobody wants to hand out in the AL Central thread with me. Royals have the tying run on 2nd in the 8th.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 09:29 PM) BBTN just graded the recent trades. Ken Griffey Jr got an A and B, they guy who gave him an A said he is a much better CF than what Sox had. They need to get rid of Vina. The guy talks way too fast and repeats himself and even what he says is the obvious.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 09:27 PM) hamilton isn't that good in close/late situations, and he'll still get MVP because of popularity (when comparing him to quentin, I mean) bleh The Hamilton press has really died down since the All Star break. Must not be as hot. If Q stays at his pace and we make the playoffs, Q is the MVP.

MVP

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 08:02 PM) At least a month more. Apparently, the day after he started tossing, everything tightened up again. I wouldn't be suprised if we don't get the Linebrink we had all year. That is how I am looking at it. If we get Linebrink back this year, great, but going about it like we won't.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) You want Thornton to face a right-handed Youkilis? Well...obviously Carrasco doesn't belong anywhere but in mop-up or before the 7th inning. But I don't trust Thornton there either, not against a RH batter. Carrasco has been huge for us while the rest of the pen has been struggling.

Wow, this ump's arm hurting too much to raise it?

Dotel is either lights out or gives bunches up. DJ said what I was yelling. Stay with the heat.

Yeah, Burls!

Up 3, make em hit it Mark.

Add on, JD. Mark has to go out there and pitch like it is still 1-0. Do not give them anything.

I luuuuuuuuv hit and runs

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 11:13 PM) I need a new NFL team. I'm serious to. My only real connection the Bears is location. I wasn't raised a hardcore Bears fan, but rather a Sox and Hawks fan. As I get older, I realize how big a clusterf*** the organization really is, and it really is very unlikeable. I'm not a huge football fan, but would like a team I can cheer for. Someone not to trendy(Pats,Colts) but not a dog either. I was thinking maybe the Cards, as I already root for Fitz and Bolin in a fantasy keeper league, but open to suggestions. I don't think I could ever just switch favorite teams of any sport.

I was crying laughing at this.

QUOTE (juddling @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 03:31 PM) FWIW..... Wrestlezone, courtesy of pwinsider.com, can now confirm that the following talents have been released from WWE as of today: -Shannon Moore -Nunzio -Domino -James Curtis (Formerly KC James) -Referee Nick Patrick No information has been given concerning why these 5 names have been released, but we will continue to update this story as we receive more news. Annual clean house. I think Chris Harris was also released already.

Brian Giles doesn't want to win. He blocked a waiver deal to Boston today.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) Ugh, I hate Jim Edmonds. I can't believe he's performing so well for the Cubs. He must have realized he lost his abilities while in San Diego and decided to go on the juice again. It is amazing how he goes from sucking to all of a sudden hitting homers.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 03:14 PM) Dimitri Young vs 2005 White Sox = Troy Glaus vs 2008 Cubs 0-29 and counting for Glaus What an idiot. Why even take the bat off yoru shoulder 3-0 when he wasn't even close on those pitches. Strike 2 was way outside but Glaus didn't deserve to get the walk after that boneheaded move.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 02:06 PM) Is there a more unattractive person than...

Ortiz and Lowell hurting, Drew struggling. Lets take Game 1 and get momentum.

LOL @ at all the Tiger fans jumping around. Have fun watching the playoffs from home. Hopefully we won't be joining them.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 09:11 PM) Why isn't DJ congratulating OC on moving the runner over? Nice 0-5 game Ha. I was like "What?" when DJ said that when OC grounded out when we were down 4-1.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 09:11 PM) Meanwhile Mike MacDougal is getting around $2 million to scratch his ass in AAA. God Bless AMerica.
