In case people care, the Marlins have used Nolasco and Pinto vs the Cubs so far. If Wellemeyer is still on the active roster, it would be cool if he came in for the 9th.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:38 AM) Like I said, the trade made sense to make. I like Vazquez. I just hope that Anderson isn't a bust and that Chris Young turns into some stud center fielder. And the trade made a lot of sense to me....until we re-signed both Garland and Contreras. Trust me, I'm very encouraged with Vazquez this year, especially his HR/9 innings. However, he's notorious for his blow-ups, and we've seen that twice already.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:33 AM) He sure looked like s*** against the Indians. Your trolling act is beyond stale. Yep....I'm sure a troll. He pitched very well against the Indians. I'm more concerned that he's blown some big leads against the Blue Jays and Twins. I actually do like Vazquez....I'm just concerned, like jabroni said, that we gave up a future star in CF, and kept the guy with a low ceiling.

Garland....13 homers in 56 innings. He had 26 in 221 innings last season. QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:30 AM) Seriously. It's rather frustrating that the mods continue to let it go on and on. Well, kudos to not repsonding to it.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:29 AM) 2006 Garland vs. any team = Not good. And there's the bait.....

Well....congrats Garland on letting Frank embarrass us. The good news is that Kenny Williams is going to be extremely pissed off.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:26 AM) Agreed. And I really hope that Chris Young doesn't turn into a stud CF'er. Vazquez is going to be great....if he can face Kansas City 20 times a season. Has anyone calculated what our record is with AJP catching vs Widger this season?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:25 AM) No reason for Cintron not to be starting at this point, IMO. If Brian Anderson did what Uribe did yesterday, he'd be on the bench for 3 games.

You know what....Uribe's throw in the 8th inning yesterday was closest he's come to clearing the wall in a long time.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:22 AM) Everyone in the Tiger lineup with a hit tonite. That's impossible! I thought teams aren't allowed to have guys hit from 1 to 9 in the order.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:19 AM) Wow, doesn't belong in the game thread but the Marlins are spanking the Cubs now 9-0. And I bet if there's a Cubtalk.com they are probably saying "at least the A's are winning" because as everyone knows those people could care less what the White Sox do. It amazed me listening to the radio today. I swear, I wish people that don't know the in's and out's of baseball just shut the f*** up and go watch their TiVo'd "Desperate Houswife" finale.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:18 AM) Who do we face tomorrow. I know Wed is Buehrle vs. Halsey. CREDEEEEEE We face Haren, who was just nasty in his last start vs the Giants.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:16 AM) I'd say so, he's hitting like .340 with 14 steals. And he wears his hat very cool on his yahoo photo

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:13 AM) Ozzie told farmer in the pregame that he would get an inning tonight. He hasn't pitched in too long. Wow.....thankfully we didn't use him to face Barrett then yesterday. :finger

Let me be the first to say that if we use Jenks in mop-up duty tonight....I'm going to be pissed.

For those watching....is PK sticking with the little leg kick he had yesterday? I'm a big fan of that timing mechanism.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:07 AM) This is why leaving the bases loaded in the first was such a disaster. What lasted longer this season? - The Crede-for-MVP campaign? -The "Boone Logan might actually contribute" campaign - The cease-fire between jabroni and jphat

I'm sure no one else will agree, but the best thing to come out of tonight is that the Marlins are b**** slapping the Pussies. Thus, we don't have to read 20 columns tomorrow about how Barrett inspired the team to a WINNING STREAK.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:05 AM) They'll try to get Garland through at least 2 more innings so they don't burn the pen in the first game of this series. Assuming he doesn't let up any more runs. There's no reason to not keep him in this game. 3 runs, against Zito, is pretty tough to overcome for our hitters. It's not like Montero would come in and hold them scoreless for 4 innings.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:03 AM) I can now see why Garland was so quick to jump on the Sox contract offer even though he only had one more year until free agency. That money sure would have looked nice going towards a Buehrle extension, and trading Garland for some stud prospects/relievers.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 23, 2006 -> 01:01 AM) Good point, lol. Garland getting booed now. 3-0 A's. Thankfully, we signed him to a 3 year deal!! There's not a f***ing doubt in my mind that McCarthy would have a better season as a starter than Garland this year.

I can't wait for the "jumping off the ledge" posts if we lose tonight, and the Tigers win.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 23, 2006 -> 12:59 AM) Us or Garland? Because if its Garland that he needs to get to the back on the line, its getting long..... When you start bashing Garland....you know he sucks.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 23, 2006 -> 12:52 AM) Now Garland is starting to work inside. I can't figure out why he doesn't do that off the get go. Last year, he dominated by throwing inside to righties to get ahead in the count, and his K pitch was trying to dot the outside corner. A pitch that he never throws to lefties anymore is his tight slider. Early in the year last season, he was dominating lefties with that pitch.

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ May 23, 2006 -> 12:50 AM) Agree on Cintron. At this point you can afford to have one guy in the lineup who can't hit but plays great defense. With Crede slumping, we know have 3 of those guys in our lineup.
