QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 02:50 AM) Good slide, but I still hate watching him steal. Haha, you didn't like the hesitation they showed on the replay? Hawk keeps saying these guys are getting great jumps, but their jumps are awful.

Give him the 3-0 green light!

Actually a great slide by Alexei.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 02:43 AM) Jeesh, who is in Florida's bullpen. It seems like they blow every victory of Josh Johnson's and I am getting damn tired of it as a fantasy owner! I put that game on to see Molina's single, and the Marlins announcers were going nuts asking why Johnson didn't stay in the game. Been a tough week for them, as those same announcers rightfully flipped out about the blown foul ball call.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:40 AM) I had a great time in BMore/DC that weekend. Going to have to make a trip back soon. I was supposed to take a nice trip to Baltimore this weekend to go to these games. However, my sperm had other ideas.

Great job Thornton! Hopefully we see Putz in the 9th.

I absolutely don't remember that Jenks game...which means there were even more blown saves vs the Orioles than I thought.

Haha, Roberts. Can I nominate him for someone that will be on the White Sox in 2016? He'll fill in for Eckstein, who's a lock to be a bench player for the Sox some day that Ozney Guillen will play too much.

QUOTE (IamPabloOzuna @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 02:35 AM) oh get over yourself. AJ has been one of the most important players on this team since he arrived. Sure he's not very conventional but he gets results and he's pretty damn steady. You'll be eating your words when he's gone and the stability at the position goes with him. His "results" have been awful this year. He brought a ton of intangibles his first few years to this team, but his effort has been subpar too often this season.

Ha, Bell has NO CHANCE vs Thornton.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:34 AM) No, I think it was a Friday night game. I think he allowed them to tie it in the 9th and then we lost in extras. Ah yes, I believe he gave up a 2 out double to Roberts to tie it.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:32 AM) I went to a game in Baltimore in 2007 I think it was and Jenk blew that one. Sunday game?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:31 AM) For as good a year overall Rios is having, he's been awful at stealing bases. It's all about his sliding technique. He could cut down on his CS by 33% or so with a better technique.

Looking at that replay, that was terrible fundamentals by Rios. Why was he running on the grass so close to 2nd? If he slides to back of base, it's not even in question.

Yay, another out on the bases. Rios is the worst slider ever.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:27 AM) By "dominates" you mean "folds miserably against" of course. Even his saves against the Orioles have been poor efforts.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:26 AM) I don't feel good about Bobby if we go into the 9th with him, he is terrible against this team and in this park. Brian Roberts is Jenks daddy.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:23 AM) For being a wily veteran, Omar does some weird things at the plate and on the basepaths sometimes. Epic post, especially if Omar was able to confuse Wiggington enough to get Pierre to 3rd.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:26 AM) Now don't blow this one Jenks. Balta, don't worry, Jenks dominates the Orioles!

Way to go Rios! Shades of pre-ASB with Rios singles up the middle.

Damn, that first pitch to Rios was meat! Come on Alex, one time.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:23 AM) For being a wily veteran, Omar does some weird things at the plate and on the basepaths sometimes. With regards to the bases, I think he has the right idea in mind often, it's just the legs don't move as fast as they used to.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:21 AM) How was that injury related to his "Antics"? He over ran the base. He was pointing home for some reason, and he completely slowed down.

Vizquel will probably be bunting here, which at least would eliminate the Rios DP. Good job Juan!
