QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 05:24 AM) Ricardo Rincon for Brian Giles comes to mind right away. Sweet, so we'll get one-half of the most disgraceful PEDS family in history?

The AJP isn't true, as it would have been reported by numerous people by now.

Sounds like Peavy would be really upset to get traded...not! http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,6040482.story

Teams are really going to give up that much for Thornton? Say a team wants him to be a set-up man, they're not going to give up ultra-prospects for him. Thornton has more value to the Sox than he does other teams.

Twins with another win late at Oakland...Sox 9.5 games out

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 04:20 AM) 11 K to 1 BB is roughed up? 9 hits in 6 innings, giving up 7 runs to an offense that was really struggling according to ESPNU.

Wojo got roughed up by USC. Hopefully that gets us looking elsewhere.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 03:24 AM) Dayton Moore says he has no intentions on bringing up Alex Gordon any time in the near future. Make him an offer, KW. Never going to happen. We have Teahen locked up for another 2 years, Morel in the minors, and KC wouldn't risk trading him within the division. They're not the Pirates!

According to Greg Walker, Beckham came to him during Spring Training and told Walker that something was not right with his swing. Walker alluded to the fact that Beckham has yet to get into a good daily routine, and I'm not sure if he was trying to allude to all the interviews, etc. that Beckham does.

Well, that article gave me a massive boner.

Not a chance in hell anyone could guess NL batting average leader going into today unless they looked at the league leader list.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:09 AM) No idea who goes after AJ. I don't think there's anyone I wouldn't move for the right price. I think Konerko might go sooner than later. Hawk was almost giving him a send off today talking about how much he's matured during his time here, etc.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 01:58 AM) That's what I hear.. but I'm also pretty sure I heard this about Beckham so who knows. Rendon is one of the better hitting players in college the last two decades.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 01:56 AM) It's easier to give up than to continue to be disappointed by this team. It's pretty comical how bad this team is. I'm just made that the Orioles suck, as we could really compete for worst record in baseball. Rendon on Rice is a freaking stud!

Fire...Ozzie! Fire...Ozzie! Lose tomorrow, and something's got to give.

Wood is overmatching our hitters.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:44 AM) They just showed a replay. 3-2 pitch, straight fastball, waist high, outer half, out over the plate. Drove it off the CF wall for a double. The pitch to get out Marson was a terrible hanger, but thankfully Marson is a terrible hitter.

Under 28.5 hits/runs/errors was a pretty easy bet for tonight's game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 01:43 AM) The pitch Hafner hit was awful. What type of pitch?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:40 AM) This tornado warning interests me more than the game. And I don't even live in the area anymore. When did you move from CAL to Knoxville?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:39 AM) Oh great. Brent Morel can't hit AAA pitching. Just wonderful. I was reading something in BA today that scouts have never cared less about AAA hitting stats than this season. Pitching is supposedly "pathetic" in both the IL and PCL. If Morel could hit in AA, he'll be ok in AAA.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:38 AM) He jumped past AA surprisingly fast. It's ok to be patient with him. The normal schedule was supposed to be AA this year, AAA next year. Better to get the AAA struggles done early. Agreed, the expectations for him have got a little out of hand. He's a solid prospect, but he's not someone like Beckham where there's no doubt the AAA stay will be brief.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 01:36 AM) Who should we not have been loyal too, Quentin, Beckham, Floyd, or Buehrle? Greg Walker should have been fired like 3 years ago, and if JR was as pissed about the performance of this team over the past few seasons as he's said he is, then other changes should have been made.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 01:34 AM) Good showing offense. Way to continue to not care at all. No one on this team is even trying. As Walker said, it's all mental. He said that Jones was trying to pull the ball for an entire month, so they FINALLY decided to try and work with him on going the opposite way. I've never heard someone wash their hands of the mess going on as much as I heard Walker.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 01:34 AM) Never understood "That run doesn't mean much/anything". Down 2, the runner at first is pretty important to cut the lead to one or tie. Yes, but do you want to give up your best power bat when all you need is a few runners to reach for him to bat?
