BA will hit a homer this inning.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 14, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) What a horrible play by Brian. He should have dove into the wall and broke his shoulder. Wow. Lets not hold a grudge.

Neal for this inning and the next, bobby for the 9th. Please Ozzie, no dicking around.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 14, 2006 -> 12:20 PM) I think it's pretty damn obvious what Javier's problem was yesterday, WIDGER. That f***er just brings out the worst in Vazquez, I know what you're going to say Widger did not catch Javy yesterday that was Pierz!!11 Think about it though Ozzie gets tossed and suddenly Javier gets lit up, coincidence? I think not. I believe Pierz was getting his pitches called from the dugout and once Ozzie got tossed Widger took over the pitch calling. Hence the suckassness displayed by vazquez alst night. Kill Widger. lmao, you rock man.

The Twins need to die.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ May 12, 2006 -> 11:38 PM) Not me. Theoretically, if you were to give him a steady diet of low-and-away breaking balls, he woule be toast. But I don't watch Phillies games on a regular basis, so maybe he learned how to hit a breaking ball this offseason. Yes and there is a good reason why Aaron has done much better this year. The majority of Aaron's ab's have been from the 2 hole and with murderers row behind him he's been seeing much more fastballs then when he was batting 6th or 7th for us last year.

QUOTE(RX Bandits @ May 13, 2006 -> 06:12 PM) I have a bone to pick with pretty much all of soxtalk. I loved Aaron as much as everybody else. Yet lets not kid ourselves, Aaron was an average player. Without Thome we would have been screwed with first couple weeks. I am not saying anyone in this thread said "Thome sucks I want Rowand back" but never have I seen such love for a player because he was a nice guy. Aarons defense in CF was awesome, but Brian Anderson HAS played a GREAT CF. Now that I said it...grill me on it. There's a ton of reasons why Aaron was so loved here: the way he plays, the kind of guy he was, how much he loved playing for the sox, etc. I miss Aaron as much as anyone but if anyone regrets that trade then they need to be slapped upside the head.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 12, 2006 -> 05:25 PM) If and when he ever makes the hall of fame I hope they send his sorry ass in an A's uniform. We dont want anything to do with him anymore. lol, you gotta be f***in kidding me.

QUOTE(SnB @ May 13, 2006 -> 01:07 PM) literally getting paid to watch baseball and yell at kids. Should be awesome. Shouldn't Brian get paid when he watches baseball with you?? It's basically the same thing as you just described.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ May 13, 2006 -> 03:40 PM) I actually feel a little bad for Maddux. He pitched a hell of a game. No you don't.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 13, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) Contract year dude. Now that he got his money he's back to his old form. We all talked about the possibility of this happening. When did Jon ever have an era at almost 7?? This is a bad stretch as of right now, he's not all the sudden back to his old form...oh ya, since when was last year his contract year?

The problem with the Garland-Loaiza comparison is that Jon was a solid pitcher before he had his great year, last year. He might not be the Jon of 05 when all is set and done but he surely isn't going to be this bad either.

Very informative thread.

Ya, now that I'm home, I'll probably go and buy this today.

Alright, time to take these next 3. GO CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone. I'm sure she'll get through it but it's still a scary situation, and even scarrier because a friend's mom just passed away due to the same thing this year.

Yay.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ May 13, 2006 -> 03:15 AM) What happened dude? My mom has breast cancer. My parents have known for about a month but they didn't tell me cause they didn't want me to get freaked out with finals and s*** coming up. It was such a weird feeling when she told me, I didn't know what to do.

If JR would raise the payroll to rent Hunter then I'd kill someone to get that man on our team. I love BA but he can wait half a year if getting Torii is possible, oh ya..it's not possible by the way.

I just got home from college and came home to some of the worst news possible. Bah.

Just gives it his all, all the time, that's why he'll always be one of my favorites. Get well soon Arow.

Frank left their game today with an undisclosed injury. That doesn't sound good.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 11, 2006 -> 05:19 PM) Ken Griffey Jr. is finally coming off the DL. Ya, but for how long is the question. Why couldn't Jr be the one chasing Ruth right now?

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 11, 2006 -> 11:48 AM) I'm glad he got to pitch in the Series, since he was such a big part of us getting there. Hey, he had just as big a part in the alcs as the rest of the bullpen. Minus Neal.
