QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 11:32 PM) At least Diaz's numbers were worthy of a call-up. Broadway's numbers are worthy of a demotion. I would rather see Poreda. His secondary stuff might not be there, but his fastball still is plus, and has sink. Thats better than a control guy who hasnt had control.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 11:28 PM) Rumor is that Broadway will start on Thursday. If that's true, then shame on this organization. The twins bring up Liriano, and we counter with Felix Diaz.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 08:43 PM) Danks is a first or second round talent. He possess all the tools but his bat hasn't developed as much as his other tools yet. And like I said, I want both. But I think it would suck more if we don't get Danks signed because we get nothing if he goes back. If Gordon goes back, we still get the 8th pick next year. Well ask yourself this question, are the laws of economics going to suspend for next year. Thats a no. Next year, our 8th pick will requires bags of money to step on the reservation. Either that, or we pick up a pile of crap, call him a 8th pick and sign him for cheap because he is signable. I would rather keep our nice line drive hitting SS, you know one of those hard to find type guys. Who told you Danks is a first round talent,

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 06:31 PM) So far for Dice-k being a 5 or 6 inning pitcher. They way he's going we better get to him or we might not even see their bullpen. You have to work the count to raise a pitch count.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 07:18 PM) Am I in the minority when I want Danks signed more so than Beckham? I mean I want both signed, but if we get Danks signed, we get a 1-2 round talent in the 7th round. But if he doesn't sign, we get nothing. However, if Gordon doesn't sign, we still get the 8th pick next year. Wow.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 06:13 PM) His career may be over in Chicago. This might take another season just to return 100% from. Do you think that Egbert, Poreda or Broadway are coming up now? I would say it should be Poreda. With the sink and the velocity, you rely on stuff in the dog days of Summer over bringing up another finesse pitcher.

Draft cutoff date this week.

Hey look another team doesnt know how to execute a rundown.

Lets stomp some Red Cub ass.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 07:54 PM) LOL. Carlos Gomez f***ing sucks. He has no game when someone is on base. He has the bases loaded and bunt fouls the first two piches. Then he swings an misses the third pitch. You must be talking about another Carlos Gomez. The fella that Hawk described is 9 feet tall, runs 110 mph, and is Jackie Robinson reborn. He makes Cy Young pitchers poop in their pants, and he is the most feared man in baseball.

As I am spending the better part of the next 3 weeks in the heart of New England territory a good showing at home will help with dealing with the Red Cub factor. The last time I was there, it was right after the 2005 WS.

Wasserman needs to get Knighted.

Wasserman needs to go back down. He sucks this year.

I can't wait till Rongey tries to defend Cox. Only a perfect throw would nail him by 20 feet like that. You tip your hat. LOL

Wasserman and Logan. Still trying to figure out why they are on this team.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 09:46 PM) How do you sit on a change when Rodney has been throwing 97-98 recently? He has a great change, but you you always have to look fastball first and then adjust...if you look for the change, then you're in real trouble. DARN!!! Thought that ball was going to get down the tie it up...Ramirez had the right approach. Just wish we hadn't left so many runners on earlier in the game when Griffey, Ramirez, Cabrera and Quentin had their opportunities to make it closer. Geeking up for a 97 mph fastball, then adjusting to the 82mph straight change is impossible. You pick one of the pitches. And you look foolish on the other if its thrown. You pick the change, because he throws it a lot.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 09:37 PM) If Cox had held him up, this board would have exploded with anger. Absolutely, after a weird bounce like that, it would have. Sure we would of all exploded with anger as he sent an old man running around 3rd with the ball in the hand of the outfielder. Who happens to have a good arm. That makes sense.

It should be 2nd and 3rd with one out. Yet gramps at third gets confused and sends him. Nice job.

Hey Jeff Cox, wake up.

Jeff Cox you are retarded. What the f***.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 09:33 PM) He better not be playing tomorrow night. I am sure he will be roaming center. And by Roaming I mean moving 3 feet this way, 3 feet that way.

Now leaving Javy in for the "win' in the 7th inning seems a tad stupid. Giving up those late runs to get the starter the win over the team kills us.

QUOTE (thedoctor @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 08:54 PM) so, konerko's heating up apparently. could it be that the griffey trade was kw's elaborate plot to motivate paul konerko? genius. So who are we going to trade for to motivate Griffey.

Javy gets the Royals next. I hope he can man up to the challenge.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 09:24 PM) Yeah he wins. 2 for 3 with an rbi. Disregard Jr's 0 for and playing a double into a triple or Javy giving up 5 runs, he has a ton of K's. So far Griffey has played well one game. And then has sucked for the rest at the plate, and has kicked the ball around.
