Not sure what Watson's stats were, but whenever I watched Golden St., he was quite the ball hog. Of course with that playing style, no one really passes.

Chris Davis doing his best to win this game for the Tigers.

Cubs offense is really clicking, as they've cut the 8-0 lead to 8-5.

I actually attended Mariano's start in his rookie year against the Sox. His ERA was bad going into the game, and I remember being frustrated that we just couldn't hit this guy. As for Hoffman, he was a converted SS.

Heads, it was more just Peavy's attitude and that out of all the pitchers, he seemed to be the most vocal ones.

Rock, that part with Peavy and the lefty starters was great. After watching this show, I think we'll miss a lot of the leadership that Peavy provided.

Ozzie, you've never heard of Dennis Tankersley? Great reliever for the A's? He was on the teams with the bash brothers, Mark Miller and Jose Cantu.

Can't but help think how perfect that episode would have been if Santos could have performed a miracle and won us that game 6-5. My wife knows very little about the front office shenanigans, but she did say after it was over "Ozzie is really full of himself".

Watched first 30 minutes so far, and really liked it.

doc, I totally agree. I was extremely impressed by the quality of their ABs this weekend.

Twins with 4 series now against really mediocre teams. If they're going to make a run, it will be the next two weeks.

Quentin will get injured doing anything and everything on the field. He steals a base, and he bruises his hand.

After the game, Jenks said his sinker, cutter, and slider weren't working. How about your 4 seamer and curve...you know, the two pitches that got you into the majors?

Halladay looks awful so far against the Cubs. It's been a pretty awful baseball weekend. This Phillies team is clearly not as good as the Braves.

Balta, most of those 89-91 mph pitches were sinkers that didn't even reach the glove.

It happens to the best, these blown saves. Broxton just blew a 4 run lead as well. Hopefully Jenks gets some adrenaline by pitching in his home state the next few days. One more blow-up though, and you have to replace him.

Sox just have to go out and win tomorrow. You lose a few more in a row, an then you'll see panic by everyone.

It's just annoying that he got hitters out on Thursday night by throwing almost all offspeed pitches. Today, Castro only called for 2 of them. He did hang the one to Kubel, but would have been nice to see a change-up thrown to someone.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 10:41 PM) So, if Jenks is Wild Thing - who is Jack Parkman? Well, Brian Roberts does own him.

If you trade Jenks, then you expose our bullpen even more. Let's face it, this team has very little depth at basically every position. If Jenks is going to suck the rest of this year, we're screwed.

I might have to wait a few days to watch this, as I'm too disappointed right now.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 10:36 PM) This thread does suck. I'd rather focus on our closer, who should be starring in Season 9 or whatever it is, of the Biggest Loser. This is like Major League 2. We need Jenks to get back into his bad habits and discover his gonads. That 93 mph sinker bulls*** is weak. You're not Jon Garland!

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 10:36 PM) This was not a TEAM loss. The team actually played well - battled back and put us in the position to win. The loss is on two people -- Jenks and Santos. That's it. Juan Pierre as well
