QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 08:07 PM) This is a nice deal for the Angels, but it is not like their offense was that great to begin with. 19th in the MLB in runs? 23rd in OPS? Not very impressive. Tex will help, but it seems like their record is somewhat misleading. 65-40, yet they only have a +39 run differential. Something has to give. Good bullpen, my friend.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) I think the Cubs would pound the Angels in that match-up. Go figure.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 05:05 PM) It makes all the sense in the world for the Angels, but I think the Braves did well for themselves given what Tex really was worth to the Braves, which was two draft picks. Completely agree.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 05:03 PM) Not that big of a difference between the two of them so far this year. At least not enough for a rent a player. Um, there's a pretty big difference between them this year. Also, why are people assuming that Tex is a rent a player for the Angels? Good, good chance they re-sign him.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 03:59 PM) Sounds like it's Kotch and Stephen Marek, who is having a pretty decent season as a RP. Obviously the Halos have a great shot at the World Series, so it's totally understandable, but I'm a big Kotchman fan, so this is a pretty decent return for the Braves, IMO. I like Kotchman too but a left handed power bat is what the Angels have seemingly been missing forever now. This is a team that is loaded with pitching and now they have some decent pop in the middle of the order. IMO this definitely makes them the team to beat in the entire Major Leagues.

Well I think it's safe to say that this makes the Angels the team to beat.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 01:20 PM) The correct answers are South Park and definitly Scrubs. I couldn't hate you any more.

I dare someone to find a better place than Carbondale. Not gonna happen.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 09:16 PM) 27 HR, 78 RBI, 73 R, .282/.384/.556/.940 - 3 23 HR, 64 RBI, 64 R, .314/.371/.575/.946 - 4 19 HR, 57 RBI, 55 R, .257/.385/.511/.896 - 5 That'll work.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 09:12 PM) I think they are just a bunch of big asses. They're just not that good. We're putting the final touches on their season tomorrow.

QUOTE (Nokona @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 09:07 PM) Tigers can only be at best 6.5 back tomorrow We're sweeping 'em.

YESSSSS

This is hell watching this on gameday right now.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 11:54 AM) Bring on Liriano. He ain't the same pitcher he was before the injury and probably won't be cause his slider won't be near as wicked. Liriano ain't a slouch, he still probably will be a top of the rotation guy, but I don't think he will be as dominant as he was. He'll be back on the DL relatively soon.

Anywhere online to find Hawk's call of Dye's homer last night? I'd love to hear that.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 12:15 AM) Why Alexei Ramirez isnt a star. Somebody's jealous that Alexei isn't on their team.

f***in awesome. First win of the sweep.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 11:52 AM) Beer olympics tonight, woohoo! TEAM IRELEAND WITH THE W, BOO YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

IMO it's Theo. FWIW KW>Beane imo.

We're the much better team and we'll have a chip on our shoulders. Road or not, we're sweeping this series.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 11:20 AM) The Sox have the bullets if they wanted to give up at least one of Danks/Floyd to go with Poreda and Fields (and possibly one more guy). Eh, this is true, I just highly doubt that Kenny is going to trade a key kog from our major league team even for someone like Halladay.

Beer olympics tonight, woohoo!

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 05:41 PM) Because I like adding fuel to the fire, Fields got four AB's in the game last night, and there was no word of an injury. Josh is not in the lineup tonight. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...chraaa_indaaa_1 Anyone know how many games in a row Josh has played?

Obviously it's a pipe dream as we don't have the bullets, but WOW it's ridiculous to think about.
