QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 03:00 AM) And LaRoche just blew a game for the D-Backs on defense, horrible throw scores the tying and winning run in the bottom of the 9th. 2006 World Series type game

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 03:00 AM) Linebrink for Brennan Boesch! Ha...love it!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 03:58 AM) Zumaya just f***ed his arm. Down on the ground and done for the season, is my guess, PEDs is a terrible thing. How many freak injuries can he have before realizing his tendons are too tight.

Comical bottom of the 9th for the Dbacks vs Cardinals

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 03:53 AM) The problem is that to be proactive is going to cost us a lot right now. I can live with moving Flowers but I do not want to move Hudson. I think it's either time to say "f*** it" and go for broke or we stand pat for 3 weeks or so. As I told you, it would be a huge mistake to give up Flowers or Hudson for a rental right now. There's no telling if we just go back into our struggles in the AL. Unless it's for Prince Fielder, Hudson is untouchable for me.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 03:53 AM) I assume you are calling for Dayan. Cause there's no other spot Oz is going to find offense with this bad offensive roster. DH!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 03:51 AM) Four hits ain't gonna cut it. The NL win streak was wonderful. It got us back in the race. Now if KW would make a couple decent moves we might stay in the race. Jones, Kotsay, Juan, Beckham, AJ still are not hitting. If Dayan isn't going to get a chance, we at least must acquire a decent DH type soon, soon, soon. Again I take nothing away from the great win streak. But we still have not near enough offense to beat AL teams. great post!

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 03:48 AM) The scary thing is that the correction is well underway for Rios, his numbers are coming back down to his career norms and we still have a ways to go until they get there. I'm not sure we can survive a Rios rough patch, even if Quentin is tearing the cover off the ball. I said earlier in the game, but the time is now for KW to be proactive. By the magic of something, we're back in the race. Don't let it slip away though! We probably can't afford to fall back 6 or 7 games again, especially with the Twins having resources to acquire a SP.

Greinke is going to dominate the Sox on Wednesday I have a feeling, so tomorrow is huge!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 03:41 AM) I'm amazed that you have yet to land a gig as a hitting coach. Well, it's pretty f***ing obvious. If I was the hitting coach, I guarantee you that I would not just use the line "it's all mental". There's some fundamentally-flawed mechanics with guys like Beckham.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:40 AM) The AL is a wonderful beast. Thing is, we lose to anyone with how we played tonight.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:39 AM) This game feels like a bad, bad omen. One of the worst teams in the league tries to give you the game and you don't take it. Scary s***. Will any of these underachiever step up besides Konerko/Rios/Quentin?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:38 AM) How many friggin hanging sliders are we gonna let get back? Seriously. Because so many of our hitters are flying open way too much. All of our righties besides Quentin were doing that tonight. Even Rios has been flying open as of late.

DFA Kotsay/Jones/Williams, and this team gets instantly better.

What a terrible f***ing game. Great pitches to hit all night. We need some offense Ozzie!

He's going to throw an offspeed pitch here out of the zone.

What exactly are these guys looking for? Just a terrible approach all night.

Chased ball 3 also...taking strikes, swinging at balls.

of course....you suck Kotsay!

Too bad he didn't swing at the 1-1, it was in his wheelhouse.

Shouldn't someone be running for AJP?

4-6-3...ALERT, ALERT, ALERT!

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:32 AM) by my count that is at least 3 2-0 pitches we swung at that were balls Good advanced scouting.

QUOTE (noodle_53 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:32 AM) If you could get Betancourt DFA'd tonight, I would celebrate your win with you guys. I love a post like this

Wow, you have to be kidding me. That's not been a strike all game. GET TOSSED OZZIE!
