That's great that Stanton homered!

Anyone know what the over/under for this game was?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:21 AM) What are the chances White Sox get no-hit when we face Nationals next weekend? Low, as they won't let him thrown the number of pitches he would need to get a no-hitter.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:19 AM) It's like he's not even trying to throw hard. God damn. I watched him pitch against UVa in the regionals last year, and I remember thinking he wasn't all that impressive cause they didn't have a radar gun on him. Next thing you know, he has like 14 strike outs against a very good hitting team and made them look like Gordon Beckham on a bad day.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:16 AM) The hitters are going to just have to ignore the curve and hope he can't throw it for strikes often, because they just have no chance to hit that and still cover the array of hard s*** Strasburg throws. The thing is, he has impeccable control.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:15 AM) I traded Zimm for Crawford straight up a few weeks ago...still not sure how I feel about that... Why would someone want an old, bald coach who gets his ass kicked by Pedro Martinez?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:11 AM) Wow did he make McCutchen look bad. You racist asshole

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:11 AM) Wow, he has some nasty moving heat, a 96 mph sinker, and a wicked, biting curve. And we didn't even see that change. Seems like it took the umpire a bit to get a feel for his stuff, but he called the pitches on Milledge that he missed against that second hitter. This is the first time I have ever really watched Strasburg....gotta say, he looks like he is all that he was advertised to be. Nice to see the National's Park filled and pumped up like that. It's Strasmas in Washington D.C.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:11 AM) You've got to be kidding me. Those last two breaking balls were disgusting. How do you pick those up when the guy is throwing 97-99? The Nationals have three legitimate superstars in Zimmerman, Strasburg and Harper. Now if they can just stop putting C. Guzman in RF!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:10 AM) This guy is just nasty. Holy s***. He's no Hayden Simpson, but he really is something special. It would be great if he's just an absolute stud.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 10:52 PM) They better not be able to sign him. That would be the steal of the decade. At least it's the Cardinals!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 11:46 PM) I don't think so. They're not spending the money they are to get these guys only to let them walk when the time comes. I think there really has been a change over there. And it's good to see both the Pirates and Reds with powerhouse potential (at least by NL central standards). Thus making things even more difficult for the Cubs. I said this last year, but with both the Cards and Cubs looking to be possibly fading over the next 2-3 years, it's a great time for the Pirates and Reds to take a big step up. It's important that the Pirates get good value on the veterans they trade in the next year, including Maholm. E. Meek looks to be a promising reliever for them and should be their closer of the future.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 11:36 PM) Actually, last 30 days his splits are pretty bad, he just came off a 2-26 streak in late May so that's hurting it. His last hot streak was in early may. 2-26 is a hot stretch for this team, you have to remember!

Sale looks like Poreda and throws like Clayton Richard...it's pretty amazing to me.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 04:17 AM) Pods' stats remain good. 2010 34 KCR AL 53 241 212 25 62 4 2 2 18 17 5 19 40 .292 .348 .358 .706 94 76 5 0 8 2 0 *7/8 53 games he's hitting .290 with 17 sbs. And he was great great great in April when we sucked. I still say KW should have stood pat over the pathetic acquisitions that helped turn our offense into slumberville. I'm pretty happy that instead of having another 2 full seasons coming up where we're going to have holes that need to be filled in our lineup, we only have one more year of Pierre. It's gone pretty much unnoticed, but Pierre has been played pretty good ball for the last 30 games or so.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 11:06 PM) So, take one of the many lefty arms out there and hope you luck out. If they're just going to get to A ball and suck, does it matter if they throw righty or lefty? We took one of the two best lefty starters in this draft...that's good enough with me.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 10:03 PM) This is a concern about the draft at large. We filled a middle infield need, a pitching need, but not the left-handed pitching need which is a pretty dramatic problem in our organization. When Randy Williams and Wes Whistler are literally our best options, something's gotta give. But obviously the Sox didn't believe anyone in the top 6-7 rounds, outside of Sale, fit what they were looking for from the left side. As someone just pointed out, it's all a matter of luck now anyways.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 10:52 PM) Are you serious? Another RHP? What the f***, guys? I know it's late, but grap a freaking LHP! Who cares, why just draft a LHP because they throw lefty? At this point in the draft, it's all luck anyways.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 09:43 PM) I don't know who to dislike more the Guillen children, or the man who raised them. One of the more underreported stories is that Ozzie's wife went off on KW during the whole Oney fiasco.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 09:41 PM) Hi Pot, meet kettle Who's he talking about, KW Jr?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 09:08 PM) IIRC that linebacker's gf was the hottest. Or was he the d-lineman? DL...His name was Mark, and she was Brittany I believe.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 07:43 PM) It's a shame that the coaches life went to hell following the second season. I would of liked to have seen more of that show. Yes, but Probst was a real piece of s***.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) According to wikipedia, he does. The fat linemen from season 2 got dumped by his amazingly beautiful girlfriend as soon as she went off to college.

I still remember the final scene of the first year of the show when he went to take batting practice after not swinging during the entire football season and he was just roping the ball.

Wilson could be a hard sign, as one thing I can tell you from watching Two-a-Days is that his family doesn't need the money. He'll be on tv this weekend in the super regionals for those that want to see him. BTW, I like the J. Spence pick someone else mentioned.
