99 degrees in K.C tonight. Temperature on the field will be 178 degrees. Hawk will tell you about a time it was hotter.

The "reboot" is the new sequel.

Dunn is batting .031 against lefties. Why is he not in the line up?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 02:48 PM) It's hard to get anything like that from this trailer. Well it's still Spider-Man in the end. That character is never going to be as dark as Batman.

Actually the new Spider-Man movies are supposed to be similar to how Nolan did the new Batman movies. Darker and closer to the comic book from now, not 1964.

They should bring up Viciedo and send Morel to AAA. Have Quentin and Viciedo rotate between RF and DH. Dunn can play once or twice a week.

I think the defense has been pretty good this year. It's not great, but it's but good enough. Maybe not the best range in the outfield. We don't make too many stupid mistakes. Only 45 errors all year is pretty good.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 11:20 AM) Based on Dunn's career numbers, what makes you think this is his new norm? I don't think its the norm, but I think it will be for the rest of the year. I wouldn't be suprised if he had a nice year next year. He's only 31 and hasn't had any injuries. So he could bounce back next year. He just seems to be lost this year. He's at almost 300 at bats and he hasn't even put together one good series at the plate.

I don't see Dunn and Rios getting any better and I don't see them getting replaced.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:12 AM) Promotion to 1st Lieutenant today. Nice little pay raise (especially when combined with the two year mark that I hit on the 29th), and I'll escape the "butter bar stigma". Woohoo! Congrats. Also what is a "butter bar stigma"?

So if you have a microwave you are not poor?

Maybe they are looking at Mike Adams.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 09:52 AM) It's weeks like this where I regret buying the top floor of a 3-flat. The A/C can't keep up with the heat and by the time I get home from work it's around 79-81 degrees in our unit. Ugh. I think I'll pick up a dehumidifier this week to help out. Cover yourself in mud.

Davies WHIP is approaching 2.00. So yeah. Score some damn runs.

We need to sweep.

Quentin would look good in RF for the Pirates!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) In advance of tomorrow's game, I'd like to say f*** Fox. Rather than give them ratings on Phils Mets, I'll be seeing a movie. What movie?

f*** yeah.

Per Rotoworld Chicago Blackhawks and Chris Campoli will part ways. On Friday, Chicago went in a different direction by signing defenseman Sami Lepisto to a one-year contract. Chicago will probably attempt to trade Campoli's negotiating rights. If they are unable to do that, they have the option to walk away from whatever contract an arbitrator awards Campoli, which would make him an unrestricted free agent. Stay tuned. Campoli's arbitration hearing is scheduled for August 3rd.

This would be awesome if it was 2005 Doug Davis.

I think he threw 3.0 and is gonna do one more start down there.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 12:51 PM) I think the writing is on the wall for Campoli. Keith Seabrook Montador Hjalmarsson Leddy O'Donnell Lepisto Lalonde Yeah I think he might be gone.

That was my favorite pick six of all time.

Verlander hasn't given up more than 2 earned runs since May. So I'm feeling pretty good about this game. Please Rain! Help!
