Stinky Stanky

Wouldn't have been the first 8-2 lead they blew this year. But Joe K does have wicked stuff.

My AM paper quotes the guy himself as saying he's through. I'll take his word for it. Avoid at all costs.

Lorenzocaine. Always sounded like something you rub on a sore arm. Or whatever.

As a loooong time Bulls follower, I'm trying to go at it from the opposite direction and concentrate on the ones who had players performing over their heads. Motta, Collins, Jackson, Thibs? Lotta mediocrity and worse on the list of also rans. Scott Skiles was OK for a while but not in the top four. At least he had a clue.

Tony's strategy seems to be to give some one with a history extra time to find himself. Can't say I disagree with him, but on the basis of the here and now, Engel is more likely to make some solid contact. Yoan's gotta show me something, and soon. He's killing the team.

IIRC, that cheap HR was his first in a month, so he wasn't the same long before Tony called him out.

Tony wanted to put in Josh Hader but he wasn't on the team. Breaking news: It's not Tony, it's the bullpen.

The old adage is that great bullpens make great managers. Ya think the opposite might be true too?

The Grandmaster of the infield hit.

We're -110 favorites!

Just a thought, I was looking at a YouTube video of nasty pitches and Dallas (as an Astro) threw the wickedest changeup with screwball movement that I ever saw. His performance here had to be because he couldn't use the stickum any more. If only Wheeler had taken our money he would have been somebody else's problem.

No joke. He can hit.

I've long felt we need more stretching and less muscle building, so yoga's the ticket.

That's the new way to close out a game. Milk the clock and then shoot a three for the last 5 minutes.

Abreu was 0 for 20 during the May run of record heat in Chicago.

Also has a bunch of lettuce to ease the pain. Might be a knuckleball away from a comeback for the ages. ?

I'm not saying that I or any of us would do it, but understanding that taunting can be a pretty rough sports tradition, if Tim truly compared himself to an American icon like Jackie Robinson, could he be inviting this sort of thing? Or is it only racism because of the ethnicities involved?

I'm not guaranteeing a loss, but Cortes was masterful his last time against us. Gotta make some solid contact today, for starters.

If you hop on the Red Line in the Loop, make sure you get on the car that all the other Sox fans are getting on.

KC scoring as much as our guys for the season and our hitting coach is still here.

On the only centered fastball of the inning? Coincidence? Even Gordon remarked about his flat fastball. Liam is as good as his breaking stuff. Ball don't lie. Thanks Stacey King.

The ones he threw were either on the corners or bait pitches out of the strike zone.

S'why we all love him. Seriously, he did 5 shoutout innings with his junk stuff, which should make all of us happy. The three walks are only an indication that he tries and needs to paint the corners They worry me less than Hendriks's close to zero walks which tell me that he throws everything down the middle. I thought that would get him beat last night and it almost did, esp. since he was near 100% of his flat fastball.

He didn't really get hit hard tonight. Has great stuff, Lets see how he does against a lesser opponent.

Don't throw cookies to a hot hitter is the lesson to be learned. Beaning? Not gonna happen. We have guys who celebrate too much and so does most every other team. TLR does nothing to rein our guys in.
