QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 27, 2005 -> 05:48 PM) I'm sorry, but I just don't see how calling someone "Belle-esque" is a compliment. Belle was one hell of a hitter, he might have been an asshole but he could flat out rake.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 27, 2005 -> 03:59 PM) isn't that the kid you like? I'm not directing this at you because I do the same thing, I just think it's funny how we call these guys "kids" when we're younger then them. Ozzie Guillen syndrome I guess.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 27, 2005 -> 01:42 PM) The good-scary part about this is Jenks is likely just now getting healthy and rounding into form. Your right, he's probably just going to keep getting better and better

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 27, 2005 -> 05:28 PM) Looking at Mac's numbers this year, he would look to be a great pickup, and like Fathom said, certainly not out of the question. I would also like to throw Adam Dunn's name out there again. While he is an OF, he is a LH bat who hits for a TON of power, and while has alot of K's, also a good number of walks. With that, the entire Reds team is up for sale, so he can defenitly be had. Adam Dunn would be the most amazing pick up of all time. Not only would we be able to throw him in the outfield for this year but then he takes over for Pauly next year at 1st when Anderson takes over in rf. Wow, the thought of Dunn in a sox uni just puts a smile on my face.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 27, 2005 -> 01:39 AM) I don't think our needs have been clearly established yet. Sure we can use some more hitting, but who and where? I believe KW is exploring possibilities out there as we speak, and may be able to pull the trigger on a major deal ... like for Chavez. When we get closer to July 31, he'll be focused on plugging holes. Agreed. First I want to see how the offense performs once Frank comes back who knows he might provide a jolt to the whole team. The one guy I'm worried about is Crede, I'm willing to give him another month or so but I'm not 100 percent sure he'll turn it around. As far as Juan I'm positive he'll be fine he's just streaky we all knew that coming into this year and he's just in a down streak right now. Like Yas said, I'm 100 percent sure if Frank comes back and the offense continues to struggle overall that Kenny will go out and find someone to help the offense probably at 3rd base.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 27, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) I see utah trading up (why wouldn't portland trade down? They don't need paul and they'd get green at 6 ( who they could really use) . Great place for a high schooler to go.

Ouch, I didn't see it happen but getting hit flush in the elbow is one of the more painful places to be hit.

Happy bday to one of the greatest hitters of all time!!!!!!!

The most important thing with Frank is that he's feeling good after playing on the foot. Frank will hit and he's probably bored down there anyways, it might take him some time to get back to Frank like but he'll help no matter what once he's back in the lineup cause even if he's not killing the ball out of the gate he'll be on base a lot.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 26, 2005 -> 01:53 PM) Jacob's Field has the steepest UD I've ever sat in. It's scary. I've never been to Jacobs field but wow the upper deck at yankee stadium is nuts, I felt like I was going to fall over every time I walked down the stairs.

QUOTE(cubbiesssuck2005 @ May 26, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) Go to the UD in yankee stadium and then see how steep it is. The UD at the cell is not that steep at all and it's a great view.

Wow, f*** YEAH!!!!!!!!1

Phew 2 down, almost fainted there.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 25, 2005 -> 10:33 PM) I think my heart skipped a beat when he made that throw to second. How many times do you see a pitcher throw that ball away late in a game? All the freakin time, I was waiting for it to happen, no doubt. I was scared beyond belief.

Here comes Dustin.

Wow, risky play by damaso there but if pays off. 1 down.

Uh oh.

Damaso is in.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 25, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) I was hoping Freddy would've gotten out of the inning without giving up the run (to get Shingo some work), but whatever -- still a great outing. BTW -- is it just me, or shouldn't Konerko have made that play on the ball hit by Erstad? It was hit hard, but it was right at him... Ya, though play but he kind of turned to the side of it but that's a tough reaction either way.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 25, 2005 -> 10:21 PM) Shows what I know. Terrific start by Garcia tonight. Will Ozzie let Marte start the 9th against Anderson and Finley? Good question, Damaso did pitch 2 innings last night, he might let Hermy take the whole inning but who knows with oz.

That a boy Freddy, Great f'n outing

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ May 25, 2005 -> 08:13 PM) yeah that's why I said he's right. I know, just adding my opinion.

More runs in this game already then the first two combined.

PAULEEEEEE

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ May 25, 2005 -> 08:12 PM) I know most of you guys (including me) don't care for those guys but it was interesting to hear them talk about the rivalries in the Central. Gammons said the Twins are still the team the beat but he's right since they're the 3 time champs. They're the team to beat until someone dethrones them.
