QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) *patiently awaits aces to shut down a team worth a damn* You're absolutely correct. Mark and Jon have not shut down any good offenses this year. :headshake

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 12:31 PM) Another interesting thing to consider, Chris Young hit leadoff for Birmingham last nite. Could mean nothing. Good point. Now that would be an interesting call up, personally I'd rather have Owens get the call this year before Young to leadoff.

Think Jennie Finch knew she was wearing a Geoff Blum jersey?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 12:18 PM) Can he really get the job done at the MLB level? The Willie Harris comparison scares me a little. We'll only find out if we give him a shot. I'm sure you agree that it'd be better to give Owens a shot if Scotty is out for a while instead of leading Pablo and Timo off every game.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 12:11 PM) Like Garcia, he's always a little shaky at first, but usually settles down afterwards. We need to get to him early or it's probably lights out Unfortunately we killed him that inning and got nothing.

Rain Delay.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) Chuck LaMar is just totally insane. Yes, yes he is.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:16 AM) Didn't the Mariners ask for Grady Sizemore in exchange for Guardado? I also think the DRays wanted David Wright for Baez. They asked for Wright or Reyes for Baez.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) So they can be compared because they were both top prospects and can't miss guys? They're similar in ways in that they both had huge power potential, both very good athletes, both had great years in bham and were both thought to have an insane amount of upside. That being said just cause they're similar in comparison doesn't mean Young is going to become Borch.

Flat sinker+tight zone+bosox offense=not good.

Cmon Jon, gotta make some pitches now.

Ahh...f***.

Nice to see aj go from 1st to 3rd even though he's the 3rd slowest man alive ahead of Pauly and f***ed up ankle Frank.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) Oh boy, that means more Timo, doesn't it? You'll probably see Timo in Left and Pablo at short tomorrow imo.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) Just got home....is Pods injured? Strained groin, gonna get a few days off.

Jon's sinker is flat today he's going to have to hit the corners to be successful tonight.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 05:13 PM) I hope Podsednik's groin injury doesnt nag. That's why it's very smart to give him a few days off.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) Wait... Mulder is a career ERA+ of 115. Buehrle is a career ERA+ of 125. Yet Mulder is the ace? Credibility? Down the drain. Last night Nite said he was going to make a thread as to why Mark isn't an ace. I think he did some research and just couldn't find anything to back up his argument, therefore no thread.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 05:09 PM) Let him keep throwing those, he'll get lit up eventually Agreed, but he can't throw that many in the first inning when our hitters aren't expecting it, that's cheating.

Wakefield's cheating. Throwing to many fastballs.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) If we're going to focus on one appearance here or there: 9 IP 4 H 1 ER against the angels in may 8.1 IP 3 ER against the angels in may AGAIN 8.2 IP 0 ER against the padres 7 IP 2 ER against the A's in july 6 IP 3 ER against the Bosox. yeup That boston game could have been less earned runs to as Aaron actually had a bad jump on a ball that he catches 95 percent of the time. Saying Buehrle hasn't been an ace this year is ridiculous absolutely ridiculous.

The White Sox have indeed lucked their way to 74 wins, they aren't good at all actually, they're actually terrible.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 05:30 AM) Not because he's a junkballer with a funny pitch that most of the NL has not seen? If he throws strikes he'll be fine, if he can't find the zone like he couldn't most of this year he'll get hit around.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 12:16 AM) Why would Cincy want Young and Rogowski? They have plenty of 1b/OF position players. They would want SP most likely. Possibly Tracey, Baj and Liotta. Because they're the Reds.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 05:27 AM) That little blurb is from the Cincinatti Enquirer So he wants to stay in Cinci is what you're saying?
