Nice work for Swish there

And just like that a GIDP for AJ on the first pitch.

Wow the sound and video on this station is bad....

Go back and watch the slam in the WS...he used a different loading mechanism. I know he has changed his loading mechanism dozens of times since then....but Hawk said something last game about PK's thumb still bothering him...if its effecting him this much then they should DH or sit him a few games.

Kong needs to go to the DL if his thumb is bugging him....

Time for BA to shine....

Too bad BA's bat doesn't match his D...he would be awesome.

I thought the book said "book of laws"

I got an older roady....Univega Modo Volare and I have major need to get my ass on it again.

Steve Phillips's Moronic Guide To The Reds I was sent this ESPN The Magazine article, and wow, I'm just blown over with its utter stupidity. Of course, it's by Steve Phillips, so this comes as little surprise. But still, it's low, even by his standards. Hopefully you all have a good chuckle at it. Phillips's first idea is for the Reds should call up the ChiSox and offer up Ken Griffey for Josh Fields or Carlos Quentin. Let's substitute names for a second. He thinks that the Reds should trade a 38-year-old outfielder in the final year of his contract -- who is hitting .244/.317/.378 -- for either a 25-year-old outfielder who is hitting considerably better, or a 25-year-old third baseman. Of course they should! The only problem is getting Ken Williams drunk enough to say yes. Next on the list: unload Adam Dunn. The 28-year-old can still get on base and mash, and can be an asset to a contender. So who does he think are fitting targets? The Blue Jays for starters. What should they ask for? Adam Lind and Dustin McGowan or Shawn Marcum. All the sarcasm in the world can't fully capture the stupidity of that idea. Another target is Cleveland. What's the haul, Steve? Cliff Lee, and then one of Franklin Gutierrez, Jeremy Sowers, or Aaron Laffey. Yep. Nothing like trading your pitcher with a 0.81 ERA for a three-outcome slugger in his walk year. For a break in the laughter, he suggests trading Bronson Arroyo and bringing up Homer Bailey. That's fine and good, especially since he doesn't name names. Here's my personal favorite. Call up Hank Steinbrenner and completely circumvent GM Brian Cashman on this deal, because apparently Phillips thinks Steinbrenner is a raging moron who smokes PCP dipped in embalming fluid. Make him an offer he can't refuse: Jared Burton and Jeremy Affeldt for Phil Hughes. Hey, Burton has 22 strikeouts in 15.2 innings, so he must be good! Nevermind that it's a terribly small sample (he also has a 4.02 ERA in those innings). Nevermind that Burton has never had that kind of strikeout success above A ball, and that this might just be a fluke. But no, because Phil Hughes has struggled through the season's first month, he's got to go. And as an added bonus, Joba Chamberlain can move to the rotation! Nevermind that this is the plan anyway. You can only do it if you trade Hughes for two relievers! Yes, because two relievers is absolutely a fitting price for a 21-year-old pitcher who in 2007 was rated the best pitching prospect in the game. His final idea is to trade Ryan Freel for Scott Proctor. Eh. Not bad enough to throw around some more snark. The crazy thing is, I remember when a team made a series of moves like this, where they gave up all the crap on their roster and turned it into an All-Star lineup. It was my team in MVP Baseball 2005. Man, we rocked. I should have made Steve Phillips the honorary GM of the team. Posted by Joe Pawlikowski, who writes for River Ave. Blues, a Yankees blog. Hence his outrage at Phillip's suggestion that they trade Hughes.

This is a f***in unreal.....

Thats just f***ing awful.....Buehrle just making terrible pitches now.

Oh well this one is over...it was fun lastnight. Too bad the softball team decided to come back.

Swish with a terrible choice there

Of course they help us and then boom a damn triple to score another...2 runs will be enough to put us out.

Funny what a bat up the rectum of a doll can do for a team eh??

CQ is the MAN!!!

What kind of moron fan touches the friggin ball during play....should boot his stupid ass

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 6, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) you can share this with me if you want Yummmmm I'd be glad to in this case.

Man I am so impressed by Gavin.... glad he proved me and a many others wrong thus far!!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 6, 2008 -> 04:34 PM) i gotta admit, i love all this chaos - rumored roster moves, a manager's "rant," a sex doll scandal...it's good stuff. Certainly more entertaining than what's been on the field of late...that's for sure.

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ May 6, 2008 -> 06:11 AM) Per the Sun-Times today: Dan Kelly has been notified that he won't be back this upcoming season. I can only assume that means Pat is coming home! That would be AWESOME!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 5, 2008 -> 04:22 PM) I've gotta guess AJ. Or Swisher

Nice play by OC....
