QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) I don't regret seeing "Get Him to the Greek", but I wouldn't watch it again. Thought the ending was about to go the way of "Chasing Amy" ending or "The Wrester" at times. I can't stand P. Diddy but he was hilarious. Did you have to look away whenever they showed Jonah Hill's girlfriend also?

Very nice approach by Rios, as you can't fall behind against Greinke! Keep it going PK

Triple for Omar! Rios has to make solid contact here.

Nice inning for Peavy there, as he had better location.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 01:50 AM) Where was the pitch? Fastball on the inner half...which is the pitch he's really struggled with this season. He has to realize he's not using an aluminum bat anymore.

Terrible 3-1 swing by Beckham. He's had quite a few poor swings when he's been 2-0/3-1 in the count lately. At least he's not getting down 0-2 every AB.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:41 AM) That was a carbon copy of like every strike out Pods ever got for us...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:37 AM) Isn't it funny how these guys that do this for a living are so bad at it? I mean we're just fans and we know so much more than people who get paid to cover this game... Yes, it truly is amazing.

Mark Kotsay could not have tried to pull that ball anymore than he did there. The worst thing is that the awful pregame show on 670 was talking about him having a good hitting night last night.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:33 AM) Gentleman's bet that we score 4... I would take that...you give me Sox 3.5 runs over/under tonight, and I'd go under

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:33 AM) Gentleman's bet that we score 4... You should have doubled up on greg's -240 bet!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:29 AM) I have a feeling we are going to get to Zack tonight actually... I don't think we score more than one run tonight. This offense is in a lot of trouble if Konerko/Rios continue their struggles this week.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:30 AM) Anyone else already feel resigned to the fact that we're not getting Dunn? I hope we don't if they're actually asking for a lot in return.

Whew, ugliest one run inning you'll see. Hopefully Peavy gets it going, cause we can't give up too many more runs and expect to win.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 12:24 AM) Yeah, not looking particularly sharp tonight... He's missing on every fastball he tries to throw on the outside corner to righties/inside to lefties. He also doesn't look comfortable with his slider.

What is Peavy doing out there? He's just throwing 91 mph fastballs down the plate, and throwing the 3-2 fastball to Butler there was just stupid as hell.

Vizquel's bat is really dragging right now. Also, you have to wonder is something is wrong on/off the field with Rios? All those days off for seemingly no reason, and now he looks terrible.

R. Boucher just said that everyone expects James to stay in Cleveland now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) You know...I'm not as adamantly no as I was beforehand... for a 3 month rental though? hell no!

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 04:02 AM) You're welcome. Thank you!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 03:57 AM) I do not recall that. I'm the biggest J. Gomes fan around. I specifically remember talking about this platoon in that jimh thread.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 04:51 AM) Great analysis. The team was loaded with slow guys and of the slow guys Thome was the odd man out because he's limited to what he can do. Yet Mark Kotsay might be only a little bit faster than Thome, at best.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 04:48 AM) Don't think it's been brought up but Thome also has the benefit of being in a solid lineup this year, getting pitches to hit. Dunn meanwhile you stay out of the zone on and take your chances with the next guy. You could do a lot worse than being sandwiched by Zimmerman and Willingham.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 03:32 AM) We're playing the royals. You mean the 2nd best hitting team in the AL?
