Well...interesting start from Zesty. 2 ip no hits, no runs, 2 k's but, He was sitting 74-75 on his fastball lol. Fastest hit threw was 78 on the gun. So take it however you would like.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 02:16 AM) enjoy watching price while he is there....i was lucky enough to see him for 3 years at vandy and the guy is the single most exciting baseball player i have ever watched...he has it all, unreal stuff, drive and determination and is a great teammate ...hes gonna be special in the bigs Agreed. I mean 97 mph cutter, nuff said. Also he is the nicest guy too. He big leagues no one, and love to play. Anyone can just walk up and talk to him. He doesnt have that "superstar" my s*** dont stink mentality. Overall awesome guy who is going to be a top of the line starter very very soon.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 12:47 AM) Was Jenks DL stint retroactive, or is he going to have to wait a few games to rejoin the team? Retroactive to June 30th i believe. So he will be able to pitch first game.

Well Bobby was filthy. He struck out the side on 12 pitches. Fastball at 96/97, curve was around 89/90. No one had a chance. I would say he is ready to go!! I also sat next to an Indians scout, he was impressed lol. He showed me his gun thats how i got the speeds.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 09:22 PM) What happened to him? He had a cellular disorder and was not allowed to play baseball at all. He is now making a comeback, so it should be interesting to see. Ill let every know how Bobby and Zesty look as well.

Well..... we suck ass lol. We have David Price (who is amazing) but he will be gone soon. Also our #1 starter went to AA, and #2 is getting Tommy John Surgery, and our #3 is out for the year too. Tough season...

Also everyones old golden boy Rocco Baldelli has just joined the Biscuits too.

The 1st half winners and the 2nd half winners meet in the playoffs from each side. So its like the season starts over in the second half, meaning the Barons are automatically in the playoffs. If they win the 2nd half as well, then the 2nd best record from that division goes. The Biscuits are back to back Southern League Champs!!!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 06:37 PM) Lucky...The Barons have to be out of town of course. Even though I know it's just down 65, but I have to work. Please don't tell me that Esteban has been sent to B'ham? He has... He will be starting on Thursday this week against the Biscuits. If you ever drive down to the area hit me up, and i can get you some free tickets to a game.

Bobby Jenks will be starting tonight against the team i work for! He will be arriving today and pitching the 1st inning against the Montgomery Biscuits!!! I will try and get down to the clubhouse and meet him! Also Esteban Loazia is starting tomm. Should be a fun couple of days.

Well.... not sure about the sox but i do this for a living. I do group sales for a AA baseball team. Normally a groups is 20 or more, and if you dont reach this minimum you do not get your group benefits such as announcement, recognition, etc. They also will prob not book any groups untill after the season, the best thing to do would be to contact the group department as soon as tickets go on sale. Usually you can book a group beore single game tickets. Also renewal groups usually get first dibs. Not sure if this is true with the Sox, but all 3 minor league teams i have worked for follow that process.

QUOTE (TLAK @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 01:47 PM) Just what did Cabrera do wrong? Leads off the inning with a walk. Swisher flies out. Cabrera's the tying run and steals second on the first pitch to Quentin who later walks. Then he steals third while Dye swings through the second pitch. Dye had taken a called strike on the first pitch, then K'd on the third pitch --with the tying run on 3B with 1 out, nobody was dancing at 2B as Quentin was still on 1B. On the night Dye was 0-4 with 2 K's. And JD yells at Cabrera? For what, trying to win the game? Also we could be wrong and it could be an unrelated incident.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 08:18 PM) Royals have some good lefty hitters in DeJesus, Gordon, Teahen, Gathright and Gload. Aviles is hot. Royals haven't beaten the Sox all season and even they have some pride, especially after last night's game, which was a heartbreaker for them. It will take another good hitting game to beat them tonight I fear. Seems like the teams that hit Bannister come out swingin. He's not bad. Should be another close game. Debbie Downer wuh wuh

QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 02:55 PM) Wait...just heard Billy Beane has taken over as GM at Cleveland and will give us Grady Sizemore for a bag of balls and Juan Uribe. Whats the diffrence between Juan Uribe and a bag of balls?

Lets do it!!! Lets get 5/6 leading up to the break

1. Mark 2. Danks 3. Floyd 4. Vazquez 5. Count Mark is a gamer, and our ACE. He has been awesome the last month too. Obviously it depends on whats going on in October. Also you cant go wrong with this rotation.

ill partially agree with you. I would love not to see C.C. tongiht or ever again for that matter. I would also love to skip Jose for a start to rest him, but we are on FIRE right now. I think we can win this game or anygame the way we are playing.

i thought we won 6 in a row...hmm

CQ, Dye, Jenks, Danks, and AJ

yeah the winner from yesterday gets it...

yeah i figured....just worried me lol

http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/millionaire-...rd-flight-18468 Hopefully this is some media miscommunication. Does not seem like something Mark would do. Im guessing the Dad was joking and the media took it the wrong way. Thoughts?
