Glad he's sticking around though. I would hate to see a former 1st rounder (no matter who likes him or not or if the 1st round is just a "title" though Atlanta's scouting is no joke) being dealt for possibly one month of Manny.

Wow.. I can't believe the Mariners won. Now that is a blessing.

QUOTE (IceCreamPants @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:14 AM) The admin board doesnt allow me to change your name since the beast was already used it still stands as "taken by another member". Unless there is a way around it but I cant figure it out. You don't even have to say it. I blame knight as well. He is always that guy on a corner doing the shifty eyes.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 01:36 PM) Clicked on the slam forum with the intention of finding this thread to pose a question. It was at the top of the list. Phenomenal. What is the earliest you would drink? It's 1:30 and I'm in business already. Not a thing I would readily admit to my everyday aquaintances I guess. Does staying up all night after an event and still drinking till 11 am (sometimes till 3 pm) count?

Hmmm... had no idea Ciolli was promoted to W-S. Just happened yesterday I see.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 03:39 PM) Sad thing is he had nothing today. That was as vulnerable as I've ever seen him against the Sox. Quite simply, you can't have lefties face him. They have no chance. That is how special he is though. You aren't the greatest closer in the history of this game for having good stuff all the time. He can be horrible in a save opp. and still get the save giving up 1 run (maybe 2) minimum.

Rivera saving that one was as automatic as it gets. Like I said I've NEVER said that on this site, oh we will lose this one before the game is over. Mariano Rivera is clearly an exception to that rule.

Well at least Juan will probably steal second. Ha, nevermind never got a chance to.

Walks don't bother Mariano. But Beckham has got to steal second base here. Mariano's cutter is DP worthy all the time.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) Ground out to short or 3rd? EDIT: Yup No better than Teahen. Both guys would K easily. At least Teahen hit the ball in the air.

Man... its gonna be hard losing 2-1 like this. I never say this (oh were gonna lose before the game is over) with any other closer in the league... except Mariano Rivera.

Teahen.

Go damn girls, keep your s*** clean at all fukin times. j4l is always clean/ Never done it. Was never my style. Someday maybe if I know the chick for a while...

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:52 PM) Manny is not coming here. And quite frankly, it's not like our offense has been bad lately anyway. We've got bigger issues now. Our bullpen (minus Sale) has been horrible and injured lately, our starting pitching (minus Jackson and Buehrle) hasn't been that great this month of August.

Dan LeFevour looks much better in this game than previous. Obviously more experience is paying off. Nice looking QB prospect though. I'm not paying much attention to who wins this game, but decisions like kicking a FG when your 10 yards away in the red zone, in the 3rd quarter (in a preseason game to boot) makes me really hate Lovie Smith and his little to no balls.

If we lose tomorrow (and the Twins win), don't even give the Dodgers a prospect. Either they pull him back or give to us for free if I'm KW, barring money issues.

Can't even get mad. Great thing to tell your kids you got to watch a legend close games for the Yankees growing up. The fact we got 2 runners on to give us a slight chance is amazing in itself.

f***.. I was hoping Girardi let that pitcher face one more guy before bringing in Mariano. God dammit.

Alexei and Rios are trying to f*** up my PTC win. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) It's funny, in my head I went "There ya go Alexei and Rios! Only 4 more runs!" and then I thought "Oh wait, they still have Rivera in the bullpen..." And he still scares the s*** out of me. Even if we get this thing to one run, I still feel we will lose when he comes on.

I'm praying Sale doesn't blow out his arm something with the way our bullpen has been falling like flies. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) Meh, hard to not be satisfied with what Pierre has done this year. More or less just cause he's younger and his OBP is much higher, not to mention Pierre's OBP has been inflated by nearly doubling his HBP this season. Won't complain about Juan however. He's really come on.

Brett Gardner is fun to watch. Always liked him as a player. Wished we could have acquired him in the off-season when the Yanks were shopping him in that period. Oh well.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 08:16 AM) Hah, well then they shouldn't have given up 6 runs! Ya they had the formula right, just forgot the pitching ingredient to go with it.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 01:52 PM) Just heard on the Score that he needs Tommy John surgery after the MRI showed a torn UCL. This sucks. we now only have Sale as a lhp out of the pen. I honestly thought you were kidding and had everyone else fooled.. Wow.

I'm so used to C.C. pitching against Buehrle.. like literally every time they face off. Weird seeing Danks name as a counter part.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 04:20 AM) You're right. But you do have to admit that you were off when you said "Josh Hamilton blows Cabrera out of the water in just about everything though." All you had to say was that defense is what separates the two and I wouldn't have said a thing. It was just a bad day for chw with all the bad worded post. I'm sure he'll bounce back nicely tomorrow. (or technically today)
