Maybe he doesn't want you giving up on him quite yet.. He's struggled this year, but his August numbers are unreal. Johnnie Lowe gets destroyed again.. Rasner was awesome though.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 22, 2009 -> 05:59 PM) THIS.TEAM.IS.DEAD WAS IT OVER WHEN THE GERMANS BOMBED PEARL HARBOR?!

Fields definitely. I would think Flowers, Nunez and maybe Link too. We'll see you next year Dan Hudson.

George Brett and the pine tar incident.

QUOTE (CSF @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 09:52 PM) Winston-Salem game was ppd. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...wswafa_lynafa_1 ..... Your fired. Game 2 was PPD. They finished Game 1.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 04:53 PM) supposedly its the Red Sox. Didn't we hear that initially about Rios too? OOooo snap!... crackle.. and pop.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 04:02 PM) I go to school and I'm an IT Consultant. I hate school though so I can't wait to finish. A lot of people tell me I'll miss it... I don't see how though. By the way MHizzle, you have an awesome avi. Same here brotha. But I commend you for at least finishing. I dropped out very early. Maybe someday I'll go back. Umemployed as well, but hopefully soon to be security officer and perhaps an officer of the law (Cop/5-0/pig/etc..) in the near future. Though I'll have to go back to school for that..

Two managers fighting.. God I love minor league baseball. A manager can coach 3B and still manage his way.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 12:26 AM) Why do we need a grinder on this team? I'd prefer someone who plays plus-plus defense and can hit for power. We have enough power guys already, and in fact enough 200+ homer years, so it's always nice to have alittle speed threat which KW is changing the course of. I agree with you on Nix though. But I'm saying every team has a Chris Getz type player on it, and Getz can definitely get better being also a year younger. We don't have to have every player at every position hitting 20+ homers.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 11:39 PM) I miss yelling at him strikeout or basically have a bad at bat. That's about it. His defense was solid though. ^^^^^^^^^^ This.

I don't know why the argument is so serious. If Nix figured out his true potential, the former 1st round pick blows Getz out of the water as far as upside. But "potential" doesn't mean results all the time. I love Getz and he's the grinder you need on the team. Getz is more of the disipline, base stealer, average, OBP guy and Nix is the power, defense, XBH, OPS guy. IF Nix put it all together you can basically put him in the bank as a right handed Chase Utley (with probably lesser speed though a good % and a bit lesser disipline). But that doesn't mean he'll figure it out. If Getz puts it all together well, he could be a Mickey Morandini (not as much on the average or power) type player. Same ordeal.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 10:48 PM) Winston-Salem is probably our least interesting minor league team. I mean i enjoy following Morel and Loman, but they don't really offer any other forms of excitement. I'd say Birmingham is my favorite to follow with Briso,l being something of a dark horse, bringing up the rear. I pay attention more to Kanny than Britsol personally. B-Ham and Kanny are 1-2 on what I look at first. But speaking of Bristol.. Jeffer Patino with a 5-5 night. I don't care how old/young or what level your at, that's always impressive. Kid looks like he has good disipline too.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 04:32 PM) ya know, taking 2 of 3 per series still equates to a .667 winning percentage... Well we should tip our cap to Detroit then and the division. I have no problem though winning 2/3 all the time, but the many times we got swept this season isn't good.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 04:25 PM) Grammar not your strong point, eh Ace? http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/for_all_intents_and_purposes Hanging around with Jason and reading his replies shaves the I.Q. a touch.

If we can actually sweep a god damn team for once, we'd be in good shape.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 04:12 PM) You're probably the most overrated poster ever. Pics sir.. I need to see what I'm looking at since I probably won't watch the show.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 04:10 PM) Eventually, something will kill this thread. For intensive purposes... someONE.

22. Will be 23 in 2 months. Meanwhile.. Jim, Tex, Rex, Yasny etc.. are trying to avoid this thread at all cost.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 11:15 PM) Am I the only one amazed by the staying power of this thread? But Tex did say game of the "Week" so today still qualifies as the last day..

I guess that's what El Duque meant when he told Jose to pitch like a Cuban....

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 10:53 PM) Weird, weird, weird. Xavier (my baby cousin) says that word alot. Weird..

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 10:40 PM) WTF. Talk about taking prospect love too far. You make my penis hard Dan..

QUOTE (SockMe @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 09:38 PM) glad to see that Rios jacked one out You can tell he was surprised it did. Usually that's just an XBH in Toronto's park. He's going to love it here.

Love for the thread killer to come in here and do his.. well... thread killing.
