QUOTE (IITsox @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 11:04 AM) All persons born in the United States should be given vasectomies/ligations at birth. Only after applying for and passing an exam should they be allowed to have the procedure reversed. Those without the financial means, mental competence, etc., as well as violent criminals and sex offenders would not have children. You do know there is a risk involved in vasectomies, I cant believe anyone would honestly think this would be a good idea.

Can we just cut him now, If we need another 5th starter before Peavy is ready I prefer Torres or Hudson....

The receivers are not going to be the problem of this team, the secondary is the biggest issue on this team. Between Hester, Olsen, and Forte they have some weapons plus Desmond Clark is a pretty damn good 2nd TE and Im sure one of the other WR's will step up and be atleast passable.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 05:47 PM) There is nothing wrong with it, unless you desire to win the Superbowl. Qb's like Orton are good for teams with 8-8 records that are fooling themselves into thinking that the they are serious contenders. The only QB in recent memory that won the Superbowl with an Orton-like set of abilities was Trent Dilfer. I'm not a complete Orton hater, but he's not the kind of guy I would want leading my team for an extended period of time. Tampa won with Brad Johnson as their QB, so thats two superbowl teams that have won in recent history with a game manager QB. Really Big Ben isnt that great of a QB either, his one strong point is he can scramble and hard to take down.

Why does it seem like we have been throwing low to Branyan the whole game, do the announcers get scouting reports that the rest of team doesnt have.

beckham has looked terrible today, dewayne wise bad.

Even Hawk was surprised lol....

i want another inning, lets go linebrick.

what a tough game to watch, definitely testing ones patience.

I think this entire team really needs the day off tommorow, but god damn lets get the win today.

Pods better be benched next game for that s***, how ridiculous....

Damn, that was ridiculous... I wish we had the defense on the left side of the infield like the mariners have now.

Is it just me or does it seem the ump is giving Felix a very favorable strike zone, I mean outside of that ridiculous K on Rios.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 09:56 PM) AJ, Thome and Pods all have hits. The righties haven't done anything. Yeah I meant to say righties but just was watching Pieryznski's ab and I guess accidently typed wrong one.

Im just in awe how good King Felix looks, we just got to work that pitch count and hopefully get to the bp. It is ridiculous how bad our lefties have looked so far up against him.

Where is our Felix Hernandez?

QUOTE (aprec32 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) We let 'em off the hook! God his stuff is incredible. This is why I need mlb extra innings so I can watch pitchers like Felix all the time.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 07:25 PM) Porcello 100% guaranteed yes. Youk, probably, but who cares? What are you watching, Youkalis charged the mound which is an automatic suspension pretty much and he threw a batting helmet which is just a complete cheap shot. He will not only get suspended but of the 2 id imagine he is going to get a longer one. Im glad that Porcello threw Youkalis to the ground too, never cared much for the guy.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 02:49 PM) Allen by a wide margin, if I had to guess. Thats surprising, Allen seems like the one most likely to stick on a major league roster at worse similar to a Kasey Kotchman type player, but imo Carter definitely has more potential of the 2, he might be a future DH but a DH with 40 HR power.

QUOTE (Cubano @ Aug 9, 2009 -> 10:10 PM) I can not stand this Bud Selig guy. Nobody talks about the policies MLB has against Cubans. Chapman has even a passport and Bud Selig does no declare him a free agent. His agent is a rookie. He will be stuck in Europe and this guy for a while. Where is Scott Boras or Alan Nero? So no chance he signs on with a team in the off-season? How come he didnt go with the same agent all the other Cuban players are seemingly going with?

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Aug 9, 2009 -> 05:19 PM) Sure, there are always exceptions. I wouldn't call it exceptions, there are plenty of smart people who are addicts whether it be to drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc.... Now maybe Hamilton is an idiot but I haven't read anything that specificly points that out.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 10:48 PM) The worst stat in baseball is Wins tho, at least a save has generally some pressure to it, one last inning, 1 run game, its harsh a win, you throw 5 innings, get killed, but your team hits well and u get the win, lol. To just disregard the win stat is as bad as people who solely judge pitchers on it. I mean obviously there are a lot of stats to look at when judging a pitcher and sometimes people concentrate just on wins, that being said it is a very important stat just not the end all.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 10:01 AM) I've read where he is really a very smart and nice guy. There's nothing wrong with popping off about leaks. KW doesn't like anything leaked either. Didnt he say something negative about Adam Dunn when he has never met or talked to the guy on the radio last year too.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 12:20 PM) Then why would the Mets eat his entire salary? Is he under contract next season? Otherwise we are only paying for 2 months of that contract, so if the Mets just paid for a little of it, wouldnt be too bad.
