I sure don't like the Twins

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:51 AM) Thornton's situation isn't that rare though. There have been a lot of relievers over the years that were better suited for the 8th inning and didn't have a closer's mentality. I think this observation does make sense. Comfort zone or whatever, but there is a different mindset to be the closer

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:48 AM) Game summary: Grrraaaaggghrhrhhruewhnifwizsnxm I think Hawk has to admit it: it ain't all good sometimes

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:45 AM) All this "mentally weak" stuff about Gavin is such garbage. He's an OK starter, not amazing. I don't see why an interesting narrative has to be created about each particular guy Yep. When Gavin has his A game going there aren't many better. You don't just give up on talent like that

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:39 AM) End of every Gavin Floyd start gets the comment "even though Gavin didn't have his __ pitch tonight..." I think you are correct

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:40 AM) I certainly did not bash him. I can't account for what others have done. I was talking in a general sense about the bashing. Sorry

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:37 AM) Yes, he has tons of talent. This is exactly what is so mind-numbingly frustrating about him. OK. but the kid gives up two runs and one is unearned plus our offesne went South of Dallas/Ft Worth tonight. Why are we back to bashing Floyud?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:34 AM) I just don't understand why people want to trade him so quickly with how fragile the starting rotation is right now. I don't think we want another situation where Axelrod has to pitch on 3 days rest, etc. Quality starting pitching is hard to come by. I agree you just don't start trading away good starting pitching if you want to compete

QUOTE (59th street @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:33 AM) Why would he tell KW when you are the one who made the unrealistic list? Floyd really battled tonight against a greed team,poor defense, a questionable strike zone and ZERO offense support. I think he did a great job despite all the ridiculous comments from the usual posters about being weak mentally. He looked like the strongest member of our team tonight! GO GO WHITE SOX! Floyd has talent. I also think he gives it his best shot every game

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:29 AM) Because my 5 year old niece is more of an offensive threat than he is I have never seen your 5 year old niece in a major league baseball game but I might take that bet

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:26 AM) Jesus christ Beckham. Feel free to stop being useless any time at all. Why are you hounding Beckham?

What happened to our offense?

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 06:06 PM) Why is this game on Sunday night, but not on ESPN? I thought they had exclusive rights to Sunday Night MLB broadcast? Yes, but is it the Yankees-Red Sox tonight on ESPN? Texas usually plays evening games at home because of the extreme heat. I do think this game rates as an ESPN Sunday Night pick because the Red Sox are in last place and we have a battle of division leaders to showcase.

Hopefully Floyd is here to stay. Unless the trade is with Seattle for King Felix

Not sure how to take this trade. Liriano could be gone at the end of the season. Escobar was hitting more than Hudson. Hopefully it stabilizes our rotation

Viciedo

Ramirez

Humber needs to step up. Can't give up any four homeruns as he had been doing Game on MLB network

Alexei Ramirez is my new hero

Alex Rios is my hero

Let's all think positive for a change. But, what's the use

Dunn K's with runner in scoring position. That's the guy we remember. All we needed was a flyball there

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 01:19 AM) Nice rip by Gordo. I thought Gordo was washed up? That's two hits tonite. Go Sox Go

Everytime we We get a two run homer the other team gets a three run shot. Everytime we have a pitcher struggling
