QUOTE (typewritermender @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 02:22 PM) I personally love Kenny & think he's one of the best GMs in the bigs. Keep KW, fire Ozzie. You don't think KW tried earlier in the season? As long as JR is the head boss, Ozzie has a life time pass unless he quits. In fact, I see KW re-signing sooner than Ozzie quitting.

Whoa.. we won?!?! f*** yes! I left when Victor Martinez hit that 2 run homer, beyond pissed why Buehrle was left in to face a guy who hits much better from the right side. Glad we came back there. Hopefully I'll catch the reply tonight.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 12:29 AM) Haha. Don't forget Jeremy Reed. This guy has it right. I love Reed (forever will since my 16 year old days and an autographed ball as a Baron), I only liked G. Jones as far as a LH cheap acquire when the sox rotating DH was sucking (so did fathom, pittshoganerkoff, pktmotion, lord chas etc..)

What I love is you starting these game threads you sexy piece of ass.

Charlotte won 9-2 McCulloch Birmingham lost 10-5 (They faced Teheran) Long W-S Lost 2-0 in Game 1 DH. Axelrod W-S won 3-1 in Game 2 DH. Sauer Kanny lost 3-0 (they faced Julio Rodriguez, who is in the Philly system. He has been a straight phenom down there in low A.) Wickswat G-F won 10-5 Delk

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 11:06 PM) Huge 2-run homer for Uribe in the 9th tonight. Padres are falling apart. They are playing like how they were projected. 9 game losing streak now. Giants now are only 2 games back (3 back in the WC) and the Rockies are 5.5 games back. Amazing. I don't know what it is with the Rockies and miracle Septembers, but they seem to thrive at it. Might have to hold off those Bud Black manager of the year award here.

Konerko.

Well that sucks. Lefevour (and Gilbert) has alot of upside. Maybe we'll still get one of them (more than likely Lefevour, I don't think Gilbert is eligible) and put em on the PS. I find it odd Beekman got cut too. But hey, our boy Rashied Davis gets to stay cause he's great at special teams and his fluke pre-season has Martz not quite know yet he has stone hands at WR! Looks like Chris Harris is going to start at FS too, like he did a few years ago with us, even though he was moved to SS at Carolina and was much, much better there. God I hate this organization. Also does suck they don't know that Major Wright is by far their best option at FS right now sadly cause he got injured the first pre-season game. (and he was very good in that game) Martz will also learn not to listen to Lovie when Cutler is throwing more to Aromashodu as his #1, not Devin Hester. I do like him keeping a couple of those young OL men and Josh Moore though. Some interesting names were cut by other teams as well. (I know some people here liked Myron Rolle who was cut by the Titans and Larry Asante who was cut by the Browns. Second rounder James Hardy was cut by the Bills, Dolphins cut Pat White and Patrick Turner. I'm sure they will clear waivers though and join their PS)

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 07:31 PM) He has put up fantastic numbers at home this season, and obviously that isn't all because of Coors. However, over his short career his numbers away from Colorado say he is a very average baseball player. Until he shows otherwise, I'm not marbles in on the "CarGo" hype. Agreed. The Rockies are my second favorite team in the MLB, I like CarGo alot, more than you Tony. But J4L's consistent over-ration of him makes me like him less and less by the day. No offense bro.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) Ozzie managed the hell out this DH today too. :lolhitting He's had a great 4 or 5 games with that DH management.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 10:05 PM) When was the last time we hit a batter, especially on purpose? We have been hit the 2nd most times, and hit someone the 2nd least amount. Ozzie lost his pair of balls a while ago when it comes to calling to have players hit. I was gonna say. I haven't seen an Ozzie team retaliate in years when a pitcher hits us. Usually it's when a guy hits us once or more... Hawk always says "He's gonna pay, maybe not this game or the next one, but in a series" and yet nothing happens.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 04:30 PM) Lee is missing a start because of injury. The way he's been pitching lately, it's probably a good thing he's missing the start regardless.

Cardinals release Matt Leinart. That was one of the oddest divorces I've seen in quite some time.

Great win. I happen to see till the 7th, then for some unknown reason, I fell asleep and missed the 8th-9th. Glad we got the win though.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 3, 2010 -> 09:38 PM) Bears waive Iglesias.... If I'm the St. Louis Rams, I would be all over this. Nice young receiver for Bradford to throw to in the future especially since they just lost their best receiver (Donnie Avery) for the season. Wouldn't be surprised if Iglesias thrives somewhere else.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 3, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) The Colts still get that label. Just read the Indy Star. Despite that, division crowns are meaningless these days if a World Series is not involved with it. I'll remind Peyton Manning he is still being called a playoff choker, who can't get out of the first round then.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 3, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) The Twins need to get it over with and just win the WS. If they faceplant again in the playoffs, it'll be the same scenario again next season. You are right. They will roll to the title again with Nathan and Morneau. They don't have the starting pitching, which has been their problem for years. Sure they've had a good #1 or good potential #1 like Santana and currently Liriano, but afterwards, the level falls off alot. (and the Yankees owning their soul doesn't help either) Pavano is having a fluke year, so I'm sure that will carry over though (he has pitched well in the postseason before, though limited) and Blackburn is having horrid luck/year so that evens out a bit. This might be their best chance this year however. Liriano-Pavano-Slowey-Baker aint bad to throw out there. Their offense has never been this good, and this is without Morneau. If Nathan was healthy (we'll see how Capps performs in the post season) I would love their chances actually.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 3, 2010 -> 10:33 PM) Really? In today's world of modern sports, winning it all goes farther than winning divisions. They have a label for teams that only win divisions. For example:Colts have been labeled the "Atlanta Braves of the NFL". When you only win divisions, you get labeled "the Atlanta Braves". So the Twins are the Atlanta Brave of the AL. Ya... it's not like the Braves or the Colts have won the World Series or the Super Bowl respectively before with those divisional wins or anything.. oh wait....

Man Ram.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 3, 2010 -> 10:45 PM) Gardenhire has done a brilliant job with that team considering the injuries. Just that game, he should be the manager of the year, not Washington. I'm sure Ron will win it though.

Ciolli going nuts so far in his short stint in W-S.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 3, 2010 -> 04:19 PM) Sorry, I don't actually mean this. I just found that gif and had to use it. :headbang

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Sep 3, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) Does that mean Hossa is in the clear? I hope so Yes. Everything is fine.

Rios.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 3, 2010 -> 01:31 PM) Or just go out and drink I was actually thinking about this one. Kinda broke though.
