Pirates have been rumored to be after Francoeur and Betemit. Unless we give them Quentin, I don't see there being a match.

Must win game here. Got a huge gift, and capitalized. Pierre's really been a catalyst of late.

Pierre's not an easy out right now...and that's just what we need from him. Already have 3 ridiculously easy outs in our lineup.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 03:42 AM) Thornton is the right choice. He hasn't pitched in a long while and Sergio no-lika-da-lefties. Looks like Ozzie wants to get Thornton and Santos some action.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 03:36 AM) No Juan actually has been not so bad recently. Dunn is the guy who Vicedo needs to replace. Absolutely

Filthy by Crain!

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 03:29 AM) Whoever the scout was that recommended this clown should be banished to the North Side Balta, who are some other players around the world that are notorious for their "not a winner" reputation?

Who stayed up to watch end of Red Sox/Tampa game last night? The praise of Jason Varitek by Bobby Valentine was just awful. Between Joe Morgan, Jon Gruden and Bobby Valentine....I wish ESPN would just go away

You'll be shocked to learn that Randy Williams isn't doing well for Boston.

Beckham with some good plate coverage that at bat. He's done a nice job since the ASB with a runner on third.

Rios could not have tried to pull that ball any harder. What a terrible team player.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 02:09 AM) The Mets might just be dumb enough to take the picks. I think the Mets will bring back Reyes. If I was their GM, I'd be trying to fleece the Reds.

Should be Crain in the 8th. Hell of a roll that Buehrle is on.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 03:06 AM) But that all changes if they can acquire a Beltran or Jose Reyes caliber of player. Beltran is nothing special. I truly don't think Reyes is going to get traded either.

If there was ever a time for a roster move, it would be tonight. Send down Morel, call up Viciedo with the two LHP looming.

Just gotta stop playing him. 3-1 count with 2 outs, no one on...he should be swinging even if the pitch goes over the dugout (ok...not really)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 01:51 AM) Rios is never on base to run. How crazy is it he stole over 30 bases last year? It sincerely seems like he hasn't reached base 30 times this year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 01:44 AM) Very fortunate there...hard to score AJ on any ball hit on the infield. Pull and don't lift swing there. AJP really is a great base runner. Twice now in three days he scored with infield in just by getting a great jump.

Pierre!

A blast...but we'll take it! Wouldn't mind a bunt by Pierre here.

Ozzie...come on!

Ozzie better not let Teahen face the lefty here!

Wow, a HUGE break. Teahen has to get the job done here.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 01:38 AM) CB calling his own game tonight, I guess Legendary stories about nicknames people gave him in the minors.

Please punch him in the face Rios and get banned for life.
