what a poor approach at the plate tonight. Geez...

Losing to a AAA team...super.

holy crap Greg...CQ has been scalding the ball right at people lately. Not concerned about Carlos at all. He very easily could have had at least 4 more dingers in the past week.

complete domination today. To tell ya the truth...I was a bit concerned with AJ taking the foul off the top of the foot. Too many little bones up there. As for Kotsay...he looks like Daniel Baldwin IMO (or whichever one of those Baldwin's names is). Great win!...don't get to relax too often these days.

The cub fan I work with is SOOOO pissed about this right now. I just told him..."at least you got Gorzo...". He's told me to F-off probably 4 times now!!!

QUOTE (CQMVP @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 10:51 PM) CF = Pods/Wise = Brutal at CF/Brutal at the plate Leadoff Hitter = Pods = anomaly this year 3B = Beckham = SS actually, but we have noone on the team that can play 3B and not suck completely at it. I'd say we're "winging it" with those three this season, to be honest. I gotta disagree. I actually think he's more suited at 2B at this level. Just don't think he has the range to play SS in the bigs. The only case in point I can refer to...Pedroia was actually a better SS defensively in college than Beckham IMO. Where's he at?

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 09:54 PM) Seriously. We're 3 games out with 2 months to play. Anything can happen in the playoffs, especially with a top 3 like we have. Kenny just needs to stand pat and hope our offense starts hitting. If not change things up in the offseason. Geez-us christ...we've been saying this for the last 4 years. You wait till offseason you pay a premium price. I'm not against seeing what Kenny can get for Dye or PK or even Floyd. Just seems like we're always waiting for this offense to come around...and with the lineup we have we shouldn't have to wait for this long time and time again. And btw...I actually predicted this to my dad that after Mark's gem...this team was gonna fall flat on its ass.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 04:46 PM) The Padres have the worst offense in the majors, does that mean you wouldn't want Adrian Gonzalez? The Indians have maybe the worst starting rotation in the AL, does that mean you wouldn't want Cliff Lee? See the flaw in your logic? No I don't. I think I've watched the DBags a little more than you Kalapse...and sorry I'm not going to base my comment on pages of statistical data. I'm just not impressed with ANYBODY in the DBacks pen. There's my logic.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 11:39 AM) I think he meant "mind-boggling". It's a Blades of Glory reference....

QUOTE (onedude @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 09:12 PM) Hawk said it perfectly...the only team that scares him is the White Sox themselves. I'm gonna have to agree. For as big a douche nozzle as he is...I still say this team is much better with OC at short. And I'll even go as far to say I miss Juan BIG TIME. An OC in the 2-hole and Juan at 9 with Beckham at 2B looks pretty damn good to me right now. And with that...Lexi...CF is calling your name.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) The new field can't come soon enough. or a new 2B or 3B (and moving GB to 2B). I've seen enough of Getz out there.

This whole thread is "mind-bottling".... The DBags pen has been atrocious this year...so we take 2 of their relievers?!?!?....K. And I really have a hard time believing they'd deal Haren...especially given the condition that Webb's shoulder is currently. That is unless they want to completely drive away whatever fan base they've managed to hang on to.

Bottom line to me is if Bobby isn't mixing his pitches...he's doomed. He just can't keep chucking up fastball after fastball. Especially with the change and hammer he brings.

Can't say I'm shocked with today. I kind of was expecting this team to come out flat all day after yesterday's theatrics. Let's get 'em tomorrow.

Sorry...but I still can't get over how far off the line Beckham was. Runner on 1st in a tie game with one out. Geez-us...that's 101 right there. Somebody F'd up if they told him to play there...or he's not smart enough to know that (and the excuse of he's only been there a few months doesn't fly with me there)...you still know that IMO.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 07:15 PM) Ozzie has got to stop pitching Linebrink. Hawk is livid that Beckham wasn't guarding the line. I am too!!! Absolutely ridiculous to be that far off. Jesus...

Wallace is a pretty damn good hitter...no doubt. But he's kind of a player without a position in STL. He's stuck behind Albert forever. He's not really a 3B and no DH. He's brutal at 3rd.

I'm still just speechless after seeing that 9th inning.... Wow...

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:43 PM) f*** Bobby Jenks. And screw this team for not being able to comeback ever. Still waiting for an opponent to blow a save against us... Wow...ya probably need to score more than 2 runs most of the time to win a game anyway. But Bobby was horrible out there. Not sure I'd throw an F bomb at him though.

What a s*** loss. Glad I got home just in time to see the last inning.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:30 PM) The scouting report on Jenks is out now that he has an average fastball. Swing at his first pitch fastball because you know that's all he throws first. Which he didn't do last night. Gotta give AJ a little crap for that too... Not a good time to just start throwin down the index finger IMO. Bobby's best when he's "pitching".

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:27 PM) Not moving his feet side-to-side, again. Dude gets less out of his supposed range than I even thought was possible. He makes Cabrera look like Mark Belanger out there. Plus and I thought he was completely out of position.

Guess I'm the only one that thinks Zobrist ball shoulda been a DP. Not sure where the hell Lexi was.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 10:05 PM) I'm so happy they won just so we don't have to argue about Pods. ^^^^^^^^ What he said. Seriously though...I'm still friggin pissed about that.
