Grabbing Buehrle would probably be the least negative effect a big acquisition could have on the clubhouse. The opposing possibility would be the media circus that would follow Dice-K here.

Since "it's all good" always rears its head during the best of times, I've learned to love it. Kind of like when something is so bad, it's good. As I said about "appreciate the game" before the season, we will all appropriate it as awesome when we win it all.

I found The Hangover to be almost overwhelmingly quotable. It wasn't an amazing movie, but oh so very quotable. I did enjoy it though, but if not for the screenwriter and/or the improv of the actors, it may have flopped.

Those guys at MotownSports REALLY hate the White Sox. Like, a lot more than we hate the Tigers.

I think Tyler Flowers could be a very decent everyday catcher. I'm not about to dump AJ, though.

It's been all too clear for a while that he's been pitching hurt.

THIS IS REALLLL APPRECIATE THE MOTHAF***IN GAME

TYLER FLOWERS ROGER BOSSARD YES

Play! Play quickly! Score!

Not exactly textbook, but hell of an appearance for Nate. He needed that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 03:56 PM) Elbow discomfort usually equals 15 day DL trip (at a minimum). The other option is that Gavin will become our closer.

Sloppy ass play by the Mariners thus far

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 03:52 PM) How's Castro doing in the minors? Just pitched two innings for the first time since June 17. Not sure that he's going to be ready this year

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 03:48 PM) If he goes, who is the next guy called up? Axelrod? Jose Lopez

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 03:44 PM) How do you figure? Lefty lineup for the Mariners, and he struggles against lefties. This is my wishful thinking for "new" Hector

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 03:43 PM) I know but to the point where he cant pitch past the 2nd? Thats not good. We'll see...could be something new

Hector should match up fairly well

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 03:41 PM) Gavin hurt? he's been hurt rain delay is only going to make it harder to stay loose

Ryan having some kind of day

I actually made a thread prior to this season after watching a couple of my WS DVDs. The gist of it was don't forget how awesome that was when you b**** about the current state of the franchise...and also, don't forget how similar of a position we were in prior to the 2005 season. I will bump it if we win it all.

It sucks, but they still got who they got. A-Gon is going to be crazy productive in the NL I'm sure. Crawford isn't a terrible player, just overpaid and has had that injury bug since he got paid. I don't know what to think about Beckett, but he should probably at least hold down his spot in the rotation. They are in salary hell for sure, but the players they got are apt to produce. I have to think that it is better to pay handsomely in dollars for players that will produce than to give away a ton of talent or dollars and get nothing. Not the worst trade ever, I don't think. Talk about going all-in, though...
