QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 08:14 PM) He can still play defense. The guy is trying I am sure-I think I am sure he his anyway-I kinda think so Actually, he's not listening to a thing the Sox organization is telling him. Heck, he was basically benched for 10 days cause he refused to try and hit it to the opposite field. Also, his defense has been nothing special this season, especially on the corners.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 07:57 PM) Uh, AJ is playing because he's our regular, everyday catcher. Seems simple to me. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone see Tillman pitch in the majors this year? He looked awful, fastball was in the 90-91 mph range.

Gardenhire, as no one manages their bullpen better

6-5 Baltimore after the top of the 2nd

Someone please explain why Ramon Castro isn't playing against a LHP?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 05:02 PM) So it appears that the Bulls said LeBron's inner circle would get no special privileges. I wonder if that's a possible deal breaker. The decision was likely made before that, but the Bulls will clearly leak that story in an effort to explain why LBJ might not have come to Chicago.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 5, 2010 -> 05:47 AM) We could only hope. At this point, I'd be ecstatic with any one of the top 3, and anything on top of that would be awesome. FWIW, I read earlier (sorry, can't remember where) but Wade and Bosh have had dinner together like 3 times this week here in Chicago. Who knows what that means. chicagosports has the dinner article

ESPN's bottom ticker showing a quote from Wade about how his family is the biggest reason for whatever decision he makes. If I didn't know better, he's going to agree to come to Chicago and that will be the main reason he uses to tell the Heat fans.

GREAT PITCH!

Kotsay's lack of hustle on that blown DP was inexcusable!

Putz just dominating out there! If Jenks gets the 9th, have Thornton warming up and bring him in if the first two Rangers reach.

This lineup construction is retarded with the Rangers having O'Day and Oliver in the bullpen. Ozzie has made things extremely easy for Washington this series, without having any way to combat the moves.

I hope Ozzie doesn't give in and just let both lefties face Oliver.

Assuming Jenks is available, you have to get Putz/Thornton warmed for the 8th.

How has Rios looked tonight?

wow, huge clutch home run for Alexei. It's amazing how right now, I'm most confident with him or Kotsay up.

AJP is a zero tool player. He's terrible in every aspect of the game right now. It's too bad Ramon hasn't gotten more playing time.

Just got back to see that a lot of the usual issues are plaguing this offense, and Buehrle can't keep the ball in the park. You cannot play for one run in this park, yet Ozzie continues to do so!

Lillibridge batting 9th at 2b...rest of the lineup is the usual suckfest

It's amazing what happens to Lilly at Wrigley when the wind isn't howling in.

Looks like Votto isn't happy he didn't make it, as he got ejected in the first inning today. That also ruins his streak of consecutive games reaching base.

WWW had long been considered the main person within LBJ's inner circle that was pushing for Chicago. If he's been kicked out of that circle, sure seems like there's been a difference of opinion on where James should go/stay

My sources reveal that Omar Infante has a terminal illness, and making the All-Star Game is being sponsored by Make a Wish

What a travesty that David Ortiz made it over Konerko.
