Hello.. might as well jump back in here.. can we get it to Z and end this?

Rizzo is gonna be the full time GM now Jeremy, he's not the "acting" GM anymore.

Brent Morel is really making my penis hard. Nice to see Gilmore have a nice night. Phegley continues to hit during August. Remenowsky.. still ridiculous. John Ely with just an amazing year.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 02:50 PM) I am trying to balance two relationships with two different chicks at work. Not f***ing easy at all and probably not that smart. I've done it.. If you manage it right, you'll be fine. But good luck man.

Mike, you still think Greinke vs Contreras was an automatic win for KC? I told you baseball is a funny game.

Cesar Carrillo with a quality start. Still surreal seeing a guy who lived a couple blocks down from me, not to mention played in the same little league park as I did pitching in the bigs. Slav, he was also an eastsider. He lived over there on 110th.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 10:59 PM) Ozzie liked that way Freddy pitched. Your You cannot have Freddy and the Count going back to back, unless you have the rosters expanded. Freddy pitches good for about 3 innings. Contreras pitches well for 3-4 innings. Boom. Combine them to make the ultimate 5th SP.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 10:56 PM) Brady Shoemaker went 2-4 with an RBI 2b. The kid's begging us to pay attention to him. I know i'm listening. I have no idea why a guy with a 1.028 OPS is still in Bristol. They are 15 games out of first. I would hope the sox brass would make room for him somewhere in a promotion.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 10:53 PM) 1-50 :o

Tigers now 3 games up..

Whats our record now for trailing after the 8th inning? I know we finally won our first one not too long ago, but I do remember the record being really ridiculous and even Hawk commenting on something needs to be done on that.

Mitchell has a .905 OPS now. He's going to be fun to watch in W-S next year and beyond. Watch out for Phegley also. He's got his OPS to .702 and he's been hitting like a machine lately. I think he's starting to come around to the wood bat. Gilmore-Mitchell-Phegley combo is really hitting for Kanny. BTW.. Santos Rodriguez is still my sleeper pick.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 10:40 PM) I love him as much as you do, just think it's silly to throw one of the clutch players under the bus(Ramirez) when we have other problems. Never called for Alexei at all. I just think Beckham shouldn't be blamed for anything as of yet. I mean the guy went 6/12 in the A's series prior to this series. He didn't have it against Bannister which was obvious he doesn't pick him up (happens to any hitter that they can't pick up a specific pitcher) and he got on base three times today still. He probably does need a day off only cause he got drilled earlier in the game and didn't look comfortable swinging afterwards. Alexei made a bonehead play as usual, but he's been good with the bat.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 10:33 PM) Just got back from work, didn't see much. The score isn't insane, so I ask... how was Freddy tonight? Did he have anything? He looked good for about 2-3 innings then pulled a Contreras and fell apart. I don't think he was as bad as some posters make him seem, but he gave up 4 ER when he exited (R. Williams allowed the 5 ER) to the Royals which is never good. I don't think he's the answer but I'm not gonna call for Hudson after making one good start in AAA just yet either. Give him alittle time people.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 10:31 PM) How about we b**** about Gordon batting like a p**** of late? The f***er got on base three times today. What a p****.

Soria is still good with one bum ankle/leg.

Tejada has a very nice arm.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 04:30 PM) If he has it all, why is he hitting .198 since coming off the DL, why is his career OPS .741, why is his career batting average .248? First of all I meant potential. And I already said he wasn't hitting/might not pan out, hasn't been since he came in after being rushed from AA. I watched the kid for a long time. He has all the tools to succeed and put it together. It doesn't mean he will. Hell BA had the tools too, but just didn't put it together. We will probably have a hole at 3B next year depending on what the sox brass does/likes with Beckham. Why not fill that with someone who has incredible potential? (10X bigger than BAs actually) and who has actually proved more in the bigs putting up a .740+ OPS? Hell just last year the kid put up a .260/.351/.432/783 line. He's hit the injury bug this year.

Alex Rios career vs Gil Meche.. (18 abs) .611/.650/.944/1.594

Beckham - SS Beckham - CF Beckham - 1B Beckham - DH Beckham - 3B Beckham - LF Beckham - 2B Beckham - C Beckham - RF Several W.S. wins and MVPs right there. Beckham - 15 Phillies - 0 (W.S. game 4 win.. perfect game.. - Gordon Beckham)

QUOTE (almagest @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 03:47 PM) Maybe he'll pull a BA and ask to be traded and we'll get him and move Beckham/Alexei to 2B? I wish. I really do hope they sour on him. Never woulda thought Alex Gordon would be not hitting, yet alone going back to the minors. Kid was a freak. If the Royals are trading him in the offseason, I hope KW jumps all over it. He might not pan out (never thought I'd say that either about him) but it's definitely worth the risk. Kid has it all not to mention a glove.

Lemme stop inflating my post count now. I don't want to catch Mike and fathom.
