Ozzie actually looking at stats and seeing that Quentin sucks against Masterson?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) The last thing we need is for this stupid hand injury to turn into one of those career-long ailments. He just needs to be shut down for the rest of the season at this point.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 09:12 PM) Lost to Barrett Sunday. In a great match btw. Both guys looked damn good.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 06:17 PM) I don't think I need to explain the significant difference there. For the record, that wasn't a shot at you, just making fun of my idiocy from January. I've pretty much agreed with you 100 percent this year on the organization, on this team, etc but I do totally disagree with you on cheering for them not to make the playoffs. Now, don't get me wrong, I understand the point you're trying to get across but I guess I'm of the opinion that even if we don't get into the playoffs that there's a decent chance that no changes will be made. I want this team to make the playoffs AND make changes next year but I truly believe that neither of those are going to happen. 2nd place finish and the same crap going into next year. Obviously I hope I'm wrong but I really have 0 faith in this organization to do anything correct.

The church lot is definitely the way to go.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) Sure is. This is why they play the games, right? 0 percent chance the Seahawks beat the Saints.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 02:25 PM) 18.3 million? That's pathetic. Good for the Pirates and as always, our organization is f***in fantastic.

Has there been a worse 6-9 lineup in baseball this season? That's literally 4 pitchers.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) He better be okay... The Phillie pitching is gonna be the only thing that keeps us from an ANOTHER unbearable Red Sox Championship As awesome at the Phillies are, even if they're healthy I wouldn't peg them as the NL champions just yet. I think they'd still be the favorite but assuming the Giants make the playoffs(yes I know they're 3.5 back but I still think they get in) then the NL is going to be really hard to navigate for anyone. Those should be some fun playoff series.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 11:32 AM) Ha, I literally thought about editing my post and putting that in there but I like when other people do my work for me.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 10:52 AM) I still love that Mac gained 50 lbs simply for a storyline. Can't wait.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:55 AM) This goddamn team is going to win the division. Hope you're right but they wont.

Seriously, this team is drawing me back in again and that scares the s*** out of me because I know it's just going to end in heart break.

Is this what the other 42 are like?

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 05:18 PM) I recognize that this team has grossly underperformed, and I'm often extremely angry about it. However, with that all said, the existing peripherals of this team suggest a turnaround is not only possible, but somewhat likely. When we had fifth starters like Danny "6.00 ERA" Wright and a rotating cast of AAA busts in 2003-4, I really didn't think they necessarily had it in them to definitely win, and when they didn't, I wasn't that surprised, honestly. In 2000, when the team simply ran out of gas in the second half, and the pitching stunk in August and September, frankly a playoff collapse was fairly predictable. However - the 2011 pitching is good, the bullpen in solid, and the hitting appears to be somewhat fixable/addressable if we wake up and just take our collective heads out of our asses, which is not really unlike 2005. If this team puts together a lineup at some point that can generate 4-5 runs a game, we're easily capable of going on something like a 15-6 tear. Which is an indictment on the organization, doesn't make it resilient. As you've said, there have been areas in this lineup that could have easily been addressed but we refused to do so.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 08:05 AM) I started this thread nearly two years ago. Are we even any closer to a Pacquiao/Mayweather fight? Further.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 09:13 PM) A big letdown. Huge. Typical Cena bull crap after Punk had been bringing the best out of him for the last few weeks now. The end of Raw was way to pre-Punk shoot WWE. Awful.

Well, minus Punk that Raw was horrible.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 06:15 PM) As much as I wanted Viciedo promoted a month ago, he's been brutal for a few weeks. Something obviously is not right with him, so I'm not going to lose sleep over him not being with the big league club right now. Yes. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 09:22 PM) I would say his injured hand has a lot to do with it. Double yes.

Can we get a raw that's just 2 hrs of Punk on the mic?

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 06:38 PM) I'm still holding out for Punk Vs Bryan Corporate stable vs. a new stable of indy guys lead by punk I told my buddy yesterday that imo Bryan having the MITB it too out of no where for him to not be involved with Punk in some way, but I actually think it could possibly lead to him being in a stable with Punk as you mentioned.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 12:29 PM) Did others not enjoy Goldmember? I know it was the worst of the three Austin Powers movies, but I still found it funny. I was a fan.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) This is pretty impressive http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/multime...ent_id=17960703 Holy damn!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 02:38 PM) Is that a good thing? David Kaplan Big Z: "I received text messages of support from Sosa, Byrd, Ozzie, Jason Giambi, Pena, and Soriano." Also said he and Soriano are cool. That's quite the group of winners right there.
