Bristol nearly got no hit today. Only guy to get that hit... Miguel Gonzalez, who has been getting alot of buzz.

I highly doubt we'd go after another LHP in the rotation. I also don't believe KW is dumb enough to offer Richard and/or Poreda unless were getting a very good RHP like a Haren or Halladay. Ozzie likes his L-R-L-R in the rotation and during matchups all the damn time.

Jesus... Quite shocked at this.. RIP Steve.

Marty has broken alot of deals for us in the past (and took some serious s*** from posters, high power and low power here when he was right) but he doesn't hold that honor in the Peavy deal. Hell it was a poster from the MLB chisox board of all places.

We need that jhonny danks poster posting here. I think were like 4-0 when he post in game threads or something like that.

Should be a very nice test for Beckham. I don't think he's faced anyone this nasty before, at least.. not up here.

Macha got simply outmanaged today by Lou. Shows you why in the late innings.

Got damn I was around that same area. Row 5 for me.. RF bleachers as well.

Bout 10 Cell games (will go late July, last game was Quentin's walkoff again the Angels last year) so I usually go to about 1-2 a season. I've been to... around... 0 Wrigley games (saw the stadium.. never been to a game) Maybe one day just to say I went there. I've been to 1 Barons game (Jeremy Reed days. still my favorite spect eva) and might/good possibility I go to another in August since I'll be in Alabama for my cousin's wedding. JPN I still want the hook-up!!

Should be a nice series Mileage. You, benchwarmerjim (Twins) Jacktai (tigers) etc.. I personally love other posters from different teams here. Really knowledgeable stuff you guys bring. Not the usual "dumbass virus/hackjob poster." Makes ST that much better than any site IMO especially considering we definitely have the most overseas posters around.

^^^^^^^^^^^ He's gotta be saying it can't be this hard to buy a win in the big leagues.

Holy s***, my bad Brian. My inbox was full, not to mention I can't send back any PMs anymore or start any threads/quote anyone in reply (notice I can only highlight and past a quote) cause of my computer. I got it on the Beckham thread. If you want an even bigger image, just reply here, and I'll see if I can find it again, which shouldn't be too hard.

Injured Reserve... old timer.

Lol, I don't think anyone was clamoring for Slayer THIS YEAR to be in the 2 hole, but perhaps next season (definitely beyond) you do that switch. I expect Nix or Getz in the 2 hole tomorrow since Alexei won't play.

I doubt you meant to quote me there Slav, but I agree 100% with you here. Someone compared Gordo to M. Young. I can kinda see that cept probably more XBH in general from year to year (though that 50+ XBH year Young had was crazy) and K's less (maybe BB more) I don't think Gordon can get consistant 200+ hit seasons though. But I can still see a rich man's version. I highly doubt Gordon will hit 25+ homers (Idon't even think M. Young did that once) and if he can, then obviously he'll be lower in the lineup. But you have a guy who is a spray hitter basically, gap to gap machine, and can do all the little things a manager dreams of, and STILL drives in runs.. I mean he's your ideal #2 for the future. Maybe.. a #5/6.. not lower than that.

I adore Slayer at the 2 hole. That Barons lineup should be a blueprint on what Ozzie should do. Slayer is a gap to gap machine.

One wise man here has already beat you from that statement.

3 games back now of the Tigers. I'll speak for everyone when I say I love Gordon Beckham.

I'll still take Viciedo as far a pos. players, but man those two are very, very good prospects. I LOVE Tyler Flowers and Hudson.

I still prefer to free Fields. But I like what I see.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And I'm not a BG fan.

Fathom will be happy to hear this. The only good piece, (so far) from the Swisher deal, one step closer to the bigs.

His hips are just so ridiculously quick. He can turn on a pitch inside (two of his homers came on inside fastballs) and he can make you pay outside going back up the middle, or hitting it to the rightside. I still want to see more XBH from him, but you can see why this kid is so special, and was picked in the top 10 in the whole nation. I mean it was obvious at UGA, and like Stone and others say.. He has star written all over him.

f***ing Orlando Cabrera. Rally Killer. Tigers Win.
