The Cleveland Pirates leading the Tigres 1-0 in the 3rd Angels - Twins = 0-0 in the 2nd.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 1, 2009 -> 06:38 PM) Regardless of what he said, Mark Kotsay is a man of mystery. Dare I say.... "grindy?"

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Aug 1, 2009 -> 06:36 PM) I much rather Becks be a 25-30 HR hitter with .325 plus average than a 40-50 HR slugger because his average would no doubt suffer... TQC is starting to come around and with Becks hitting like he's been hitting...WATCH OUT!!! For Becks to hit 40-50 HR he'd have to roid the f*** up... I like clean baseball, and his build indicates he should probably be a 25-30 HR guy... I'd be thrilled with that if he hits a bunch of doubles.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2009 -> 06:33 PM) Kind of dumb to put in Bob though because he ought to just be throwing meat over the middle of the plate and let them get themselves out. confidence builder?

nice out by dirty .230

what did Kotsay say to Becks?

Its better that Gordon just had a f*** up... doesn't affect the game and will hopefully keep him humble and focused going into tomorrow. See: Silver Lining.

people called me crazy for benching Aubrey Huff for Gordon Beckham... now they can only really call me goatf***er, but thats unrelated to my fantasy baseball team.

Time for GB to his first GS.

I hope Jeter never juiced... if he did I would be genuinely disappointed. Probably only one of few I would say that about.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 1, 2009 -> 03:55 PM) That's Gordon's 15 2B in 176 AB's. It's also his 35 RBI. I sure hope he wins ROY... that sure would be great.

Beckham is what we in the business call, a stud.

Peter Pods coming thru..... YEEES.... HELL YEAH

last pitch looked close...

Oh Thome...

Wise making it harder to hate him.... I said harder, not hard.

I'm so glad it was Buehrle that threw the Perfecto and not like Colon... I mean he's just so easy to root for.

QUOTE (beck72 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 06:10 AM) 23 yr old LHP James Adkins could be an arm the Sox would want. Was a 1st rd pick in 2007, had a 5 + ERA in 2008, and has been mediocre this year. Has better breaking stuff, and could be a reliever at worst. Threw 6 IP and only gave up 1 hit yesterday [if the sox were watching]. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=448266 Any relation to Jon Adkins?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 05:35 PM) According to the Hawks, Hossa is out for 4 months. hmmm interesting timing. Perfect Game? Then this little bombshell.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 06:19 PM) Dewayne Wise a top twitter trend LOL . I must be dreaming. You're not dreaming... however, when Alyssa Milano was blowing me this morning... I was.

QUOTE (elgonzo4sox @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 06:09 PM) He just needs to raise his national profile, in the media. My suggestion: move to the other side of town, then start insulting umpires, getting thrown out of games, throwing balls into the outfield and gloves into the dugout, and beating up the Gatorade dispenser. Then he will be the highest profile pitcher in town, and perhaps get some national recognition. I feel your pain, and point taken ... but lets keep the cubs out of this glorious day. This is Mark's day.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 06:06 PM) I think that was Nix? No? Nevermind. you're right.

QUOTE (DanksFan @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 05:52 PM) You think thats crazy? Josh Fields had a death grip around Buehrle's waist while he was running to Castro. Check the Yahoo! pictures, they're pretty hilarious. I think that was Nix? No?

What you have to love about Mark is that 15 years from now he will sit and watch this game with his kids and he will be exactly the same guy. He's an awesome man's man.
