Garland or SS?

He was ok tonight. I gave him props in another thread. I'm greedy though. I wanna see him pitch better.

lol. I love your enthusiam, Heather. But, me, you, and 3 bums off the street could field a winning team in the summer league.

lol. They're dead as far as winning the division. But I have to admit. They still have a shot at the wildcard. But then again, so do a bunch of other teams.

Agreed. I'm still waiting for Loaiza to pitch like an all-star though.

LOL. I was wondering where you were going with this. Damn, I can't cheer for the Yanks though.

Loaiza had a decent start tonight. He gave us a chance to win. I guess that's all we can ask of him at the moment.

You're right. They would've made the playoffs last year had Jeff Mcginnis not gotten hurt. They have an awesome future.

I take it back. Lookin at last years stats. George and Hambrick's numbers are damn near identical. I didn't realize George was this washed up. I guess the Titans released him for a reason.

There is already a thread discussing this. However. We're defintely gonna find out what we're made of.

Damn. Qwerty bustin out those stats.

Damn

Good trade for the Cavs. Not sure what the Magic were thinking.

Not a bad move by the Cowboys, although George is clearly past his prime. But, he's a definite upgrade over Troy Hambrick. I guess they'll ease Julius Jones into the mix.

I wouldn't call it the steal of the year. I'm still pissed that we gave up Olivo. But, Freddy has done a fantastic job so far. He's pitched like the ace everybody thinks he is or will become. Now only if Loaiza would wake up from his coma

Damn. Valdez is hitting .344? I thought this guy sucked?

Hate? You gotta be kidding me. I didn't start this thread because I hate Loaiza. I started this thread because we need him to STEP UP. Garcia has been great since he's been here. Buehrle is starting to get it going after a little rough patch. Do you really believe we can get by with just those two pitching well? If we didn't need Loaiza to pitch well to win this division, I wouldn't even worry about him. But, we do need him. I've all but thrown out the possiblty of him ever getting back to his 2003 level. Still, we can't have him with an era close to 5 either.

Timo has been awesome. I made a thread a few weeks back sayin I had to eat a s*** load of crow. I was one that wasn't too happy with Timo's play earlier in the season. He's been fantastic the last 2 months or so.

I agree that he's not an ace. But didn't he say he wanted Garcia money? If he wants 9 or 10 million a year he needs to pitch a hell of a lot better than he is now.

That came after we gave him a 2 run lead. He's been doing way to much of that this season. A true ace shuts the opposition down when you get him a lead. Not go right back out there after getting a lead and givin it up the next inning. That 4.79 era of his needs to go down. Period.

Say what you want about this team. We're not going anywhere unless this guy takes his head out his ass. He wants more money? He wants Garica money? EARN IT. Prove to everybody last year wasn't a fluke. Buehrle and Garcia just shut down one of the best offensive line-ups in baseball. Loaiza is pitching tomorrow. Will he step up like a TRUE ace should? Or will he continue to pitch Loaiza style pre-2003? Will find out soon enough.

I'm lovin Anderson and Sweeny right now. I'm so torn about possibly giving one of them up this year

I hope Kenny just forgets about Beltran. We already have a qulaity everday cf. Just focus on getting more pitching, pitching, and pitching.

It's about damn time. I've been screaming for Arow to get a chance to be the everyday cf. He's been very patient the last 2-3 years. Seems like no matter what he did we would go out and get another cf "Lofton, Everett". I hope the position is finally his once and for all.

18-4? wow. I was hoping something like 14-8 or 15-7. But i'll no doubt take 18-4.
