Hey look, a real heart of the order.

This lineup is so bad, its funny we expect them to contend. Melky Cabrera and Adam Eaton are the only two guys who actually get on base AND hit. Thats a horrible formula.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 05:25 PM) Not on Ventura. Jones was the man for the 8th He should have brought in the guy who would get it done, duh. Even if he doesnt exist.

What is all this bball talk?

I dont know why, but I love Below Deck Med

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) Basically he had a hiccup yesterday. It just sucks because the team really needed that game. The walk off was a tomahawk swing at a high and inside fastball.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 09:07 AM) This morning while buying my coffee and guy in his 20's had an apple juice in his hand and asked the check out person how much the juice was. The guy told him it was $2.36 so the dude asked him if he can have it for 2 bucks because that was all that he had. The check out person told him , sorry no. He looked back to me and was like do you have it and I said dont worry about I will take care of it, its no big deal. He didnt thank me and he instead then began to ask the check out person how much some of the other junk at the counter was so he can buy it with the 2 bucks that he did have. I was kind of pissed but really not sure I should have been. How would you have reacted if this happened to you. The more I think about it it shouldnt have bothered me at all. Take the good karma and forget about it.

"I leave a pitcher in and we lose, I take him out and bring in a closer and we lose. What the f*** guys?"

QUOTE (FT35 @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 08:47 AM) Sale at 100 pitches is better than a fresh Robertson. He's our best chance to win at any point of the game. He's not just our best pitcher either...he's the best pitcher in the American League. If he runs into trouble, you go get your fresh arm with a little adrenaline to go with it. Again...the hitters due up were 1 for 10 on the night. You bet on your ace to come through and seal the deal first. He's not 10 years old, he's in the prime of his career. Let the closer come in if there is trouble or an option other than Chris Freaking Sale pitching. Nope. But at least I know you werent actually watching the game.

QUOTE (Coach @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 08:28 AM) But it was still his to lose. Great pitchers can overcome and find the form. No it wasnt. He had a 3 run lead and was losing his stuff. You pay 40 million dollars for Robertson to close, and this was a picture perfect opportunity and he failed.

Corey was going for the hookup last night pretty hard. I would too bro.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 10:01 PM) Denzel Valentine is a baller. He traveled all day there, but the kid has ice water in his veins. Good pick, Bulls - and fun-ass game! That Summer League game was more fun than any MLB game. #bulls #nba He is a good bball player. I like that he's now on my team instead of watching him kill us.

QUOTE (Coach @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 07:37 AM) Agreed. This game was Sale's to lose. Let him have the CG. Even if he throws 120 pitches, will it make a difference? Robin did the samething to Sale a few weeks ago and I hated it. He barely escaped the 8th and lost all control. You pay a closer to close, and he didnt.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 05:31 PM) On the Herd today, Nick Wright brought up the idea that if this goes south (meaning the team doesn't mesh and Butler's not happy) Chicago could trade Wade to Cleveland at the deadline. Believe I said that a page ago. Absolutely. And the cost will be high.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 12:56 PM) When did you go there, the 1950's? In the 80's when I went it was 30% black while Marist and Laurence were 0%. It dropped a little in the 90's when they had some issues with race but never below 10% and now it is back up to 30%. Do you just sit and make things up? My hs in DG was so white. I'm trying to raise my kids in a much more diverse environment. That bubble makes you somewhat racist and I don't want my kids to be that way. People are people.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) This... straight 94 mph fastballs over meaty parts of the plate aren't that hard to hit. Sale is awful tonight

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) How do you not prepare for Flowers to be their scout on Sale? It seems they didn't even prepare himself to have them have insight to his tendencies. I can see flowers now. "Listen guys, he throws meatballs over the middle of the plate"

Please please let sale rest. He's dead tired

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) Again not buying the Flowers excuse at all. Flowers isn't the reason he threw a straight fastball over the plate.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 08:37 PM) He doesn't deserve to start the ASG I'd rather keep him out entirely. He's tired.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 08:37 PM) Don't worry he will try throwing hard in the ASG. Cooper won't be there to mess him up. He is so bad tonight. So bad. Batting practice.

Wow. If flowers hits you then you are done. Horrible pitch

Sale is terrible tonight. As bad as you will ever see him. His location is horrific.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) This is about as bad as I've ever seen him He has no command

Such a horrible pitch. Inside and the inning is over
