Horrible managing there letting him bat. Ugh, I wish we'd just acquire a DH already!

Haha, what's the point of having Kotsay on the roster if you're not going to PH him here?

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 03:36 AM) Q has to hit here. It will either by Jones or Kotsay.

Very nice PK and Rios!

Wow, not a good swing by Alexei. Just not our night

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 03:31 AM) Ozzie, what the hell? Why are you bunting with him? We're down by 3. He's just showing it. Alexei does this a ton.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 02:29 AM) He's only 21. I'd think a package of Turner and him would be enough. I don't think it would take both of them. Porcello and a few other prospects would do the trick, it seems. Maybe someone like Ryan Perry.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 03:27 AM) Who do the Tigers have? I'd think they might have to trade Porcello to get Haren. I'd trade Porcello for Haren in a heartbeat. Porcello is not impressive at all.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 03:27 AM) Who do the Tigers have? I'd think they might have to trade Porcello to get Haren. Turner is a great trade chip for them.

My prediction would be Haren to the Tigers, Westbrook to Mets, Lilly to Twins, and Sheets to Cardinals

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 03:21 AM) absolutely i want carmona I can't see Indians trading him to the Sox. THEY'RE NOT THE ROYALS!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 03:18 AM) Anybody want Carmona? Wouldn't be surprised if Cardinals go after one of the Indians pitchers. Garcia pitched terrible for them tonight.

I'm actually encouraged by Beckham during that AB, as his swing looked a lot more flexible than that upright bulls*** we saw the first few months.

Liriano just too good for us tonight. Have to win one of the next two if we don't make a huge comeback.

Viciedo has some decent speed.

Nice inning for Threets.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 02:01 AM) Threets hasnt thrown in like a week, this should be entertaining Sale pitched well in Charlotte, so if he struggles, we might see him up here soon.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 02:00 AM) A.J.'s looked terrible. It was just a completely boneheaded decision. I hope Ozzie's not handicapping his flexibility by making Castro the personal catcher for Garcia.

yeah...next time we face Liriano, sit AJP on the bench

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 01:58 AM) He'll face Hernandez Sorry, thought he was talking about Gavin.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 01:57 AM) He better be, it's the Mariners for crying out loud. He'll face Hernandez

Am I the only one the feels that Konerko swings a lot differently at home than when on the road? It's like he doesn't swing hard at all when on the road, and that's probably when he has 10 more home runs at home in fewer overall ABs.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 01:56 AM) So, what is our long term solution for 3B beyond the platoon we've got going this season? Teahen

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 02:54 AM) haha just a week ago we were talking about how good our starting pitching was....we'll be alright im more concerned about getting a hitter first off Yeah, and then one of our starters had a WWE-esque injury and Hudson looked extremely shaky.

Amazing how Hardy looks bad when you throw him offspeed pitches. Let's get some guys on for Viciedo.
