fathom

I'm sure you'd come up with a great nickname for him.

How did Jhonny hit a 3 run inside-the-park homer?

Really could do without the Castro personal catcher nonsense, as AJP is 12-29 in his career against Blackburn. With Castro being so good traditionally against LHP, it really diminishes his value.

Tigers lose both!

Anyone else following the Pirates inability to hit a home run with men on base? Longest streak in 25 years I believe, as it's something like 1,300 ABs without one.

Greg and Balta, I third the notion that the cut PK after the season line was silly.

chw, that wrist was clearly bothering him. Probably will for another 3 days or so.

Indians need to win one for Lou Brown!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 02:08 AM) He had to know they weren't going to give him good pitches to hit right off the bat, he needed to be more patient than that. 2 of those were terrible pitches. The hitters just were not focused tonight. At least we get to see Therapist tomorrow.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:06 AM) Post of the decade. Yep, how dare we be upset that someone struck out on 3 pitches, and in horrible fashion, with a man on 3rd and one out!!

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:04 AM) Yah, let's get pissed at the guy who drove in our only runs. He has to have better at bats than that. If his swing is so feeble at the offspeed stuff, then he better just hit the s*** out of any fastballs he sees.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:05 AM) I agree with you, but I don't think many others on a message board will agree with us. We lost ... so blow it up, baby!!! Greg, I didn't see you on here after Quentin dropped that ball.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:03 AM) Well I hope Rios gets going again soon. Other than his HR against KC I can't remember a big hit he's had in awhile. Between him and Konerko, they both look like they've never seen an offspeed pitch below the knees. More swings and misses from them in last few games than at anytime all season. KW, the time is now to get some offensive help.

The big guns have left this team down in late innings the last two games. Quentin is clearly bothered by the hand, as he has no bat speed. That was an awful loss!

Awful...just sickening at bats by Konerko. Did he really think he'd get a 2 strike fastball?

Nicely done...I'd walk Konerko here if I was Gardenhire.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:58 AM) Jesus Omar what in the world did you hesitate for He does that a lot on the bases. I think he needs an oxygen tank these days.

That a boy Omar!

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:56 AM) Omar shouldn't be in the 2 hole, let's face it. There's a perfect example of why we need GB back there, with his power to be able to hit to the alleys and the right side. It's obvious he's swinging the bat better but no one has the guts to put him back there in our organization (or on this forum it appears). Omar is a perfectly suitable #9 hitter, but long term in the 2 hole we can expect a lot more offensive blues in the second half I couldn't agree more, but I don't think Ozzie would dare move a future HOF out of the 2nd spot.

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:55 AM) Fathom, did you hear the caller on Boers and Bernstein that suggested they bring back Pods and cut Pierre? Dan went off on the guy and called him a dope as you would expect he would. good for them...just wait until they see the article in the Tribune about Crede wanting to play again in 2011.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:55 AM) Odds he scores now?? zero

Great effort after he 2nd by Buehrle. Hopefully we see our bullpen tonight.

According to Cowley, Quentin will go on the 15 day DL for a palm bruise after that ball hit his glove too hard.

Haha...please just DH him for the rest of his Sox career.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:52 AM) Can't believe beckham got that fathom. It was an interesting catch. If he has to jump like that to catch the ball, then hopefully that works.
