QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 03:09 PM) If you love your team you don't claim that THIS.TEAM.IS.DEAD after every loss. I still can't picture what this board would be like if we were 15 games out like last season.....does the opposite happen? It was pretty tame. Game threads that had 40 posts a game were interesting. 1/2 deficit, tied in loss column, is ok with me when the Twins go on the road for 14 and we are at home for 10. Don't care who either team is playing. If we aren't back in 1st by the time the Twins finish that trip, I'll be on the ledge with others.

10 game home stand is just what the doctor ordered. It seems like we have been playing road games for a month. Kudos to whomever pulled some of the regulars in case of retaliation. Get home healthy.

If Carrasco was throwing intentionally at Olivo, I'm pretty sure he would of hit him with the 1st one. Bases were loaded and nobody will convince me Ozzie told him to do it unless Ozzie says he did.

Alexei sure isn't willing to leave his feet to get a grounder.

With them up 9, you can bet someone is getting drilled for us.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 02:39 PM) The Sox? No offense, but that's bulls*** if you mean them. The Royals have acted like f***ing bushless steroid using dickheads today. For a last place team, they have been acting like they have a chip on their shoulders. They won't get to act like that much more this year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 02:37 PM) Has to be cause AJP got tossed. If that is the case, that is ridiculous. They tossed Carrasco? Hah, more joke umpiring.

Olivo should be tossed for throwing haymakers.

Olivo, you pussy. I'm sure he was throwing at you with bags jammed.

Yeah, DJ.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 02:25 PM) Twins not gonna relinquish first place after tonight, their schedule is weaksauce coming up compared to ours. That 11 game west coast trip and than 3 in Toronto is not weak sauce. I would rather play Boston at home with no Manny than that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 02:22 PM) So in a 6 run game, the Royals have tried to steal 3rd base and now a bunt? Maybe Ozzie will show some balls and drill a KC hitter. I'm sure we would miss em.

My friends who are Brewer fans want Weeks gone. Dude just took strike 3 down the middle with RISP and is a bad 2B.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) I don't see him as the problem do you? He isn't and I don't have any confidence we would get anything worthwhile for him. We have him under contract for next year so I wouldn't move him now.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 02:16 PM) Anyone else cant stand David Kaplan .. guy sucks Disagree. For being a die hard Cubs fan, he is very unbiased most of the time.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 01:55 PM) Baker's ERA is 4.14 on the road and Perkins is 4.17 on the road....that's way above average on the road. I'd say that is average on the road. Slowey has a 4.70 ERA on the road and Blackburn has a 4.50. Below average was a little off for me to say but they are average and far from above average.

Left handed Danny Wright on the hill

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 01:50 PM) Liriano, Blackburn, Perkins, Slowey, and Baker is a very good starting rotation. The last 4 are good at home, below average on the road.

Can't believe I am hoping Contreras gets back soon.

Love getting these mental midgets on our team that screw up the easiest plays.

Not a fan of this situation for PK.

QUOTE (shawnhillegas @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 01:22 PM) Asdrubal Cabrera is just an amazing defensive infielder. Go Matt Ginter!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 01:23 PM) God, every flyball out to Ross Gload looks like the biggest adventure in the world. Was about to post the same thing.
