They even got the Thornton part wrong IMO, I think Putz is more deserving if you're going to go that route and somehow not put Paulie or Rios in.

The All Star game is such a joke, lol at some of the selections to this game including ours. I literally would not watch or pay attention to any of it if it weren't so f***ing stupid and decided home field advantage in the World Series. Even there though, the only reason i'll have any interest is we're back in the race now.

No Joey Votto, even though he's been the Reds best player. No Konerko OR Rios? And this decides home field advantage in the World Series?? Bud Selig, please just go into exile.

Destiny isn't going to do Spain much good in dealing with Germany. They'll have to play their best game of the tournament by a wide margin to win that game.

Texas generally has quite a few 7:05 games on Sundays. I think it's due to the heat.

WWW can just got back to ruining college basketball now LeBron was staying in Cleveland anyways. I hope he enjoys remaining ringless, although if he's smart he'll sign a 3 year deal and give himself an out. He'll still be young enough in 2013 to have some really good years left, and can go win a ring somewhere else. Even if a ring isn't on his mind though (and if he stays in Cleveland, it's not), singing a 3 year deal makes the most sense for somebody who is quite clearly an attention whore, even despite the fact he's handled the last few days well.

I think Heads gave away his political affiliation with the title of the thread, but I still found it hilarious anyways. Happy Birthday Heads! It should be a good one since it's a Sunday and a holiday, as long as you don't get so drunk you'll die or something.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) I don't care what anyone says, I love DJ. Some of this s*** he says is so awkward and so ridiculous that it's absolutely hilarious. Yeah he's great, liked him on tv and like him on radio as well. The awkwardness is part of what makes him great too, it's very entertaining and that's a big part of the broadcast when you're doing something like baseball.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 10:14 PM) I don't know if anyone else heard the radio version of tonight, but apparently TCQ has a sore elbow, which is why he didn't start tonight. Well that excuses not starting him obviously (although I don't think that was the issue people had, you have to play Andruw here and there if he's on the roster, which is why he shouldn't be on the roster). He was used as a pinch hitter though, which means he was available, and means that Ozzie still used him in the wrong spot.

Anybody else find themselves going through highlights and great moments of the playoffs on youtube quite a bit?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 09:51 PM) Not saying I didn't want Q to pinch hit earlier, but Feliz would have made Viciedo look awful. At least Dayan has the power to maybe run into one and tie it. Same can't be said for the bust.

I'm not even sure this lineup can be "fixed" with only one more bat. We might need two of them.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 09:46 PM) Have you ever watched a game we lost and not blamed the manager? That is all. You wanted CQ to pinch hit in the seventh inning as I recall didn't you? yeah we should pinch hit for everybody. Our lineup sucks. Is it that hard to fathom?? Ozzie was awful tonight, you know that was well as everybody else. Q should have pinch hit for Jones earlier yes, but that was botched. Then, when he finally does pinch hit, it's for the wrong guy. And part of the reason they had the 3rd run was playing the infield back in the late innings with your team having a bad offense. Just a litany of mistakes by Oz tonight, but it's not entirely his fault we lost. If we excuted man on 3rd, 1 out situations, we'd have had two more runs. So it was really a team effort of mistakes tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 09:41 PM) I would have let Viciedo bat and PH for Beckham. Beckham is a f***ing awful, awful player. Well yeah. The two choices that inning were pinch hit Q for AJ and pinch hit Q for Beckham, and Ozzie chose pinch hit Q for Dayan.

Just a very poorly played and managed last 3 innings by us. Would've been nice to get within a game, but just have to go out and win the series tomorrow.

Q had 2 great chances. But he's going back to sucking again it looks like.

I bet no one he's talked to thought Wade would give the Bulls a 2nd visit either.

Why the heck wouldn't you let Dayan hit and then PH Q for Beckham?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 09:36 PM) Some bad execution and strategy cost us a few runs these last couple of innings. Yeah, the PK messup and willingness to trade 2 outs for 1 run earlier is just not good right now.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 09:33 PM) How do you figure when we have more hits and have stranded more men? Go Lilli! Well they've had a few more walks, and stranded a few less in part because they have the 3 runs. Thus the slightly better execution by them. I REALLY hope Q is used this inning off the bench.

Brent continues to do a nice job. It'd be really nice right now if Paulie hadn't s*** his pants.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 09:31 PM) I don't know what game you have been watching, but their hits have been the same damn thing. That doesn't mean we've been unlucky. It's been a pretty even game, and they've executed slightly better than we have. The score is about right.

Wow, a good inning for Linebrink. At least we got the big 4 a night off out of the pen, as well as Q in the lineup.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 09:27 PM) I don't really care what you would call it. We've got 9 hits, stranded 7, and Johnny pitched a solid game against a good-hitting team. It has been there for the taking. Our bloops just aren't find holes like theirs are. 9 hits are just not going to get you anywhere when none are extra base hits and you haven't walked at all. It's hard to be that upset when you can count the amount of hard hit balls you have for the night on one hand.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 3, 2010 -> 09:26 PM) Rotating DH of Kotsay and Jones...great idea or the greatest idea? Haha well put, and with a nice sarcastic overtone. There was literally no scenario under which that idea would work for a full season. As dumb as it gets.
