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?

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 01:33 AM) I really don't think it will matter. Nothing will happen til the season is over. f*** D. Wade and his thinking that JR isn't loyal. The 2010 season is what happens when you are too damn loyal!

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:31 AM) Watching Matt Purke pitch for TCU. If you like good pitchers, turn this game on. Guy's a beast. Dialing the fastball up to 94/95 from the left side then making hitters look silly flailing at his changeup, and that pitch was supposedly weak this time last year. What channel? Wojo striking out a lot of USC guys. McGuire dominated Alabama tonight.

BOOING!! About damn time...I love this crowd. I can't wait to see Kotsay and/or Vizquel ph in the 9th.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:30 AM) Pinch runner, please Why, that run doesn't mean much. There's a good chance he comes up in the 9th.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:23 AM) Really? Matt Thornton gave up a run to Branyan? Yeah, that should never happen. Next thing you know, Griffey Jr. will get a hit against him. I'm looking forward to Monday with the hope that some major changes are made!

Poor Rios...all he does is hit line drives.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 01:12 AM) Who failed to back up 3rd? Peavy? The catcher? Peavy, Stone went off on him.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:11 AM) seriously...how many bunt base hits has pierre had all year? the number of attempts and number of hits has to be driving his average down significantly 3 for 20 now

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:11 AM) That was the "Dipsh*t play of the Day!" Nah, pitching from the wind-up and then stepping off with a runner on 3rd wins that award.

Really, bunting on 3-2? STOP BUNTING, you suck at it Pierre. Seriously, what more has to happen to get people fired? You have a pitcher called for a balk, not backing up 3rd, and now that?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:06 AM) Anyone surprised by 30K+ crowd? Yes, as tickets were extremely cheap on stub hub for this game. That's good though, every bit counts towards payroll.
