QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 04:37 AM) I'm very happy for it, but that finish was sort of deflating. "Oh, it's over...yay!" I was trying to think what the baseball equivalent of that odd goal would have been to win the World Series?

Cards can't seem to beat any of the good teams in the NL. Swept by the Dodgers. They desperately need another starting pitcher and might need another 2B.

Who gave Lillibridge steroids?

Wow, Omar just missed a grand slam.

What do people expect KW to say? Of course he's going to make it seem like we're reloading, even if we're rebuilding.

This is the latest from my GT source about Grimes: This kid has so much potential that he was drafted higher than expected. His Junior year he was an All-American and going to be a sure fire top 5 round lock. Then he was hurt all summer long and hurt his status, well he sure did bounce back strong. Id give him a 30 percent chance he lands at GT.

PK locked in again.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 01:23 AM) Well, I saw it coming in terms of his performance...but not that he would be elevated because of the failures of others. Yeah, I just didn't think he'd be able to perform well with throwing all junk. I was thinking today how Garcia really needs to go down as one of the most important Sox pitchers in Sox history.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 01:20 AM) I'm not going to say I thought he would be the rock, but I did mention almost continously that I expected him to perform as well as a #3 starter for us. Well, you're a smart person then. Never did I see this coming.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 01:09 AM) Really? I thought you were one of the Porcello adorers? No, I'm very unimpressed by him. We roughed him up in Clayton's last start with the Sox. His stuff is nothing special.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:07 AM) So...what you're saying is...Peavy for Porcello? Hmmm...yes, I'd do that to get out of Peavy's deal.

BECKHAM DOUBLED!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:06 AM) Goddamned these mfers....they'll do this for 2-3 games now to pull my faith out of the coals...just to crush me again in a week. Hopefully we play well this weekend. Should be facing Silva/Wells/Lilly

CASTRO! Wow, 7-1 Sox. Porcello is so unimpressive.

I would be happy to just see Alexei never try to bunt/fake the bunt ever again.

5 straight hits!

4 straight hits!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:00 AM) What happened, Fathom? Vizquel didn't run until a fly ball to right dropped, preventing him from scoring. It was an obvious single off the bat.

Studly swing by Rios, but what the hell, why is it that the veterans are our dumbest base runners?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) Jeesh, that kid looks like the real deal as well. Didn't know Juan was this good of a defender. Impressive defense by Juan out there! Tigers seem to develop big lefty hitters that put up decent numbers, and then fade away fast.

Pierre robbed Boesch of another home run!

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 12:45 AM) 30 minutes into a game and the gamethread is less than 2 pages, ouch.. Alexei homered...besides that, not a hard hit ball for the Sox. Beckham pulled off the ball badly, and hit a weak grounder to SS.

Beckham with a nice turn on that DP.

Lots of energy being displayed by the Sox so far. Maybe the most dead crowd I can ever remember at a Sox game.
