Is Affirmed going to be in the luxury suites waiting to drink champagne if Big Brown loses?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 05:13 PM) Rays just drafted another Beckham, from Goergia Southern - Jeremy Beckham That's Tim's brother, I think

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 05:34 PM) IIRC didn't Danny Wright post god awful numbers in college? Oh ya, something like being 2-16 in his career at Arkansas.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 04:31 PM) If he can touch 97, then there is no problem with the pick. You can't teach how to throw that hard. Obtaining that speed in this round is something I have no problem with. Exactly, I was being serious about his stuff.

QUOTE (Cowch @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 05:28 PM) Well that's promising... Coop will fix him! At least his stuff is supposed to be good though.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 05:25 PM) 13 - RHP Dexter Carter - Old Dominion U He had an 8.76 ERA last season

QUOTE (29andPoplar @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 05:20 PM) A former Twins draftee. Seems like some of these pitchers we're taking are more "stuff" guys than results (besides O'Neil).

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 04:16 PM) He is really up on the plate. Im more excited to see his fielding skills. I know if I played a game a day after I was drafted 8th in the MLB, I would go 0-fer and probably make 10 errors. His swing reminds me of Wil Cordero.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 05:14 PM) Hit into a DP first time up. Horrible pick...... Oh believe me, I can't wait for the overreactions if he has a bad game.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 05:06 PM) 11 - Charles Leesman - LHP - Xavier I've got to do a writeup, someone take over for me. He had some terrible numbers at Xavier last season. WHIP near 2.

Even though I don't think he's any special, I love the Danks pick. If nothing else, it will shut up a lot of people on here.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 01:50 PM) Jose Contreras is dealing like the 2005 version. I don't know if he can keep it up, but you have to give him a lot of credit. He was given up for dead by most. You deserve props, as you were always saying he'd come around.

I meant to say this last time they played the Dodgers, but I'm very thankful the Sox didn't trade Dye or Buehrle for Hu (like many on this site wanted to happen). He looks severely overmatched.

Typical Cubs game there. The opposition doing everything it can to help them win.

Kemp, you freaking idiot! Swung at a 2-0 pitch over his head.

Great ab for Pierre, but I don't think Kemp has a prayer against Wood's slider. Maybe he'll throw a wild pitch or there will be a HBP!

Why does the opposition always act so surprised when Marmol or Wood throw a slider with two strikes?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 04:51 AM) People just don't pitch to the scouting report against the Cubs, at least when I see them play. It is baffling, but when you watch how dumb people pitch them you see one of the many reasons their offense has been so good. Throw sliders to Soriano, inside fastballs to Theriot (with your 2nd baseman playing him like he's a pull lefty), and sliders to Soto. I do like the Cubs having Soto, Edmonds, and Derosa batting in order. The PEDs boy should be their nickname.

Just terrible pitch selection by Saito. Fukudome was way behind on the fastball, and what does he do...throws him an offspeed pitch right down the plate. Saito seems amazing against just about every team he faces, but he looks like T. Ohka against the Cubs.

Ryan Theriot has the best opposite field swing in the majors so far this year. He makes it look very easy.

Looks like ESPN will be televising the Georgia vs NC St. Super Regional this weekend. First game is on ESPN at 11 tomorrow.

I was told tonight that Boras let teams know that if they weren't willing to give Danks first round money, then they might as well not draft him.

Sweep! Great job this series.

Good thing that didn't happen when Masset came in to pitch last night. I assume Linebrink comes in if Masset can't finish it off?

Jose Guillen needs some PEDS to get his bat speed back. I hate seeing Olivo against a LHP though.
