QUOTE (Brian @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:43 PM) Pirates seem to easily trade their young OFers. Hope we are keeping an eye on McCutchen That guy is a stud. They'll probably trade him to the Cubs for Tyler Colvin.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:40 PM) As long as he pulls out, eh? When your wife is 6 months pregnant, you take it however you can.

That a boy Putz!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) How much longer would you keep him in the 2 hole? My love life with him is none of your business.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:37 PM) His head is all over the place. The swing doesn't look too bad, but he has a ton of extra movement right now Well yeah, it's hard to keep your swing through the zone when your body is moving towards your left. It's causing him to have zero bat speed.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) Well, Gardner is killing right now. I really enjoy watching him and Nyjer Morgan play.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) No, stuck at work. Watching it online and following the comments of you goofs! The 0-5 has been worse on TV than it looks. His last AB, he wasn't even taking full swings. It was like he was just trying to not strike out.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) Wow, Nick Johnson at .138. He would have fit right in to this line up. haha, absolutely

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) Which shouldn't be the case, because he is a kid that takes things in stride. But you're right...he is ultra lost right now. Are you watching the game today?

One of Bernstein's sources told him that Bosh to OKC is a very real possibility. I think he'd be nuts to go there, as Durant is such a ball hog! I was extremely underwhelmed by Durant during the LAL/OKC series.

Beckham has no confidence today, which is surprising after his last few games. A trend I noticed last year with him is that when he struck out in his first AB, he seemed to struggle the rest of the game. Seems like his Ks come in bunches.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 1, 2010 -> 09:27 PM) ? I get the impression that they have. They just haven't done very well in them. Pena, Putz, Santos, and Linebrink have had very few important appearances, IMO.

Another 0-3 game for Pierre. What really annoys me is that the one time he did get on, he didn't try to steal 2nd or 3rd and was on the bases for probably 20 pitches.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ May 1, 2010 -> 09:25 PM) Fathom, I agree. This point ain´t b****in but I am really disappointed Linebrink blew another great effort by Danksie. He didn´t deserve that after really battling thru 5 innings. It happens with relievers, Linebrink had been ok up until this point. The problem is that outside of Thornton and Jenks, our relievers haven't pitched in a lot of tight spots.

Nice splitter!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:20 PM) Why is Ozzie so hesitant to use Santos? Just overprotecting him after what happened to Aardsma? I'll give Ozzie the benefit of the doubt with Santos, as maybe they know more about his durability than we do.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 1, 2010 -> 09:17 PM) Which is no different from how KW has acted until he's made a concerted effort his year NOT to get upset and live and die with wins and losses on a daily basis. Except we NEED him to be that post-game buffet overturning lunatic again, as long as he thinks rationally when he calms down and makes good moves. I get frustrated when people say they want Ozzie and/or KW to go nuts on the team, etc. That's not going to work, as they've been around for far too long and a lot of the guys have seen all of their moves/tirades. It's like being in a relationship with someone for 10 years. After a while, your sig other yelling at you doesn't have the same impact that it did during the first few years.

Strike 4...good job Randy!

Wow, that was right down the plate!!!!!

QUOTE (knightni @ May 1, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) Why is Randy in there - in a game that we are winning - pitching to a righty batter? Ozzie is afraid of the short porch in right field, guaranteed!

My biggest pet peeve with the use of our bullpen this season has been we pitch our worst reliever (by far) more than anyone else. We're really babying Santos, it seems.

You can't keep pitching a lefty specialist that walks so many guys. It is just an unproductive result far too often.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) Well here is the lefty lefty thing... Please try not to walk him : I really like how the Yanks went out and got the perfect hitter for a LHP platoon with Thames. Always thought he had a lot of power.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 1, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) This place has the emotional stability of a pregnant woman on a roller coaster sometimes. Welcome to my life

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) That's be nice. Your grammar sucks
