QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 06:50 PM) Ya the Padres were in a mess financially, but hey they felt that the White Sox offer was better than that of the Cubs and Braves whom were in the run for pursuing Peavy during the Winter Meetings of that year.(which looking back at the Padres would have certainly dealt PV to another team since considering they would have gotten far better talent). So they don't exactly win the trade as to this day Padre fans are bitter over the fact that Peavy was traded, so I dunno how you came down to the conclusion they won as they have lost a ton from ticket sales due to the drop in attendance after that trade. IIRC, the Cubs never made an official offer. And from everything I've heard, this wasn't just a salary dump for San Diego. They had concerns about how Peavy's arm was going to hold up after tons of innings/sliders.

To be honest, I like our 5 man rotation better without Peavy.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 05:58 PM) It looks horrible for us, regardless of whether the Padres get any production out of anyone we traded for them or not. That trade was not about players, it was about Jake's condition and money. It has been an absolute disaster for us to this point, regardless of how you view it. Amen!

Haha, that Heat huddle view was awesome!! Thanks Dallas

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 03:38 AM) You really gotta credit Lebron for trying to get his teammates involved here...a Did Willie only have one postseason at bat?

Johnson has displayed a really good slurve. His change-up is about 8 mph slower than his fastball, but it's been up in the zone.

Hey ABC...thanks for letting us know during the flow of the game how many fouls each team has against them

Is it me, or has Chandler played very soft tonight?

Haha, that is an offensive foul 99% of the time.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 03:21 AM) Does Miami look like they are quitting? Way too much time left for that. It honestly looked that way the last three possessions, but we all know Miami has another run or two in them.

Semien shows tremendous hands by driving an inside pitch off the fence.

Krist just bombed a home run

Dallas' offense came out flat as hell in the 4th. Screw it, put Cardinal back in.

Johnson's pitching on ESPNU. Dallas Baptist taking some good swings against him, but his fastball seems to be a legit 92 mph.

How do you not throw an offspeed pitch there

Huge DUNN!

Rios can't catch up to the fastball today.

Nice quick inning for Humber. Let's get this game tied up.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 06:33 PM) So it seems that the only way Pierre will be removed as a starter is if KW releases him. Ozzie is incapable of benching him because it removes the fantasy of Marlins 2003. Viciedo probably gets traded this year because of the slappy nonsense. The only hope is to root for Sox wins while Pierre goes 0-5

Our hitters should get much better swings the second time against this pitcher. His motion seems to be getting our hitters off-balance.

Hawk seemed really annoyed with Pierre's pop up there.

AJP needs to call for more curveballs.

Any chance the Yankees were heavily scouting Felix Hernandez instead?

Just saw the replay of Lillibridge's catch. That's top 5 for me for the Sox in the last decade. Hell of a season for him. I liked that Ozzie stayed with Crain, as Thornton against Willingham would have been a real bad match-up. Let's go win tomorrow and enjoy Monday

Danks gives it right back. I still can't believe we are playing Dunn tonight
