QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 09:12 PM) Carlos has been so close to hitting these balls hard. He's just missing them, kind of like early in the year... Yep, unfortunately he's reverted back to off-balanced Quentin at the plate.

Didn't think that was going to stay fair...great approach by PK.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) Trade bait for a couple minor league pitchers to set us up for 2012 while we write off 2011? Seriously, Hudson should be more untouchable than Beckham is now.

Juan's been grounding out to the 2nd baseman an awful lot lately. Might be time to get Pierre a breather, as he's 1 for his last 20.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) you were using your comparison earlier to prove that the Central needs to look out because here come the Cubs Yes, I feel like the Cubs offense has finally woken up, and their season is not over. They have so many remaining games vs Reds/Cardinals, they can still put a huge dent into the approximately 10 game lead.

Ha, if Detroit gets Dunn, Sox fans will be in meltdown mode. In reality, the Tigers are in a great position to try and work out an extension with him if they trade for him. Personally, I feel the Tigers should be trying to beef up their pitching.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 08:00 PM) fathom, the cubs are 45-53, 9.5 games out of first, and in 4th place in their division We were talking about comparing the offenses of the NL Central teams, as well as the prognosis of the offenses from here. The Reds offense is struggling, especially with Rolen out. That's all I was mentioning.

Balta, the Reds are 2 innings away from getting shut out for the 4th time in 12 games. That would also be a Major League leading 12th time being shut out on offense.

Why the f*** aren't teams treating Miguel Cabrera like he's Barry Bonds in his prime? He should never get pitches to hit with RISP. Tigers looking to win the 1st game of the DH. And Delmon Young is freaking amazing right now.

Seeing Thome be such a steady contributor for the Twins really frustrates me.

And Kubel just hit a grand slam. I hope Juan Samuel isn't planning on managing in the majors again. He had the 2nd baseman covering 2nd on a steal attempt with a lefty at the plate, and resulted in an easy single into the hole for Casilla.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 02:42 AM) Ozzie shouldn't get fired for roster mistakes...he doesn't have the final decision, even if he's wrong. I know he shouldn't have the final say...but KW did give him the final say on this.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 03:38 AM) Depends on if we trade for a DH this year. How sad is that? Sign Thome in 2010, and because of that we have a solid 5th starter in 2011. Go with Kotsay in 2010, and because of that, we need a 2011 5th starter. If the Sox trade for a hitter, and still miss the playoffs, then there's no doubt in my mind Ozzie deserves to be fired for his Thome decision.

6-8 weeks with an ankle fracture

Delmon Young gives the Twins a 3-2 lead in the 5th. He's carrying that team right now.

Please Kenny, get us Luke Scott!

Ordonez just left the Tigers game after injuring his ankle sliding into home.

Roy Oswalt looks absolutely terrible

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 12:18 AM) What was the last game that we had no chance to win at the end of the game? I honestly cannot remember. It's refreshing, in a weird way, not having a particular play/pitch to think about all night.

Not a chance in hell Brewers trade Fielder without getting some pitching back.

one hit in the last 7 innings of the game. KW, you know what to do!

Sounds like Phillies might be making a trade, as Ken Rosenthal said that their Tuesday starter for a minor league team got scratched (J.C. Ramirez)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 11:04 PM) If I assume that everyone is 3 years younger, sure. Today...not a chance in Hell. Why do you get to assume that the Cubs will be healthy and play like they're all 27 but Rolen won't heal? So for rest of year Balta, who puts up better numbers: Rolen or Aramis?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 12:00 AM) WHY ARE PUTZ AND THORNTON WARMING? Just to get some work in, as they haven't pitched in 3 days.

Another cheap home run by Cust. I hate Scott Linebrink...what a pathetic contributor.
