Santos is pretty awesome.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ May 19, 2010 -> 09:07 PM) The way things are going, by July Hawk will lose all ability to sound like a homer. Loved his comment about the defense. Being with StonePony may have made Hawk a better announcer. Has his feet held to the fire perhaps a little more now

It's still hard to believe how much we heard about Nix having a great glove before he got here. Atrocious from day one at all positions.

Rios is great. Jesus.

He used to be a four inning pitcher for us for awhile. Effective first innings. Always thought the pen shouldve been in consideration for El Titan

First career save. "Twenty-two years starting games, and now my career is closing games," Contreras said after Saturday's game. "It was a tough situation at that moment, but I was able to save the game. That's the most important thing."

JP single to center, softer than a baby's bottom

Guy 1: "Closers need special experience! Closing is a special thing Santos doesnt have the experience" Guy 2: "Jenks didnt have the experience either in '05" Basically this post will save us 100 future posts in the next week. Just cut and paste as needed. If you ask me, Bobby has built a career off how easy it is for some people to close. When he's in there with the lead in the 9th, people overswing against him year after year. When he's in during a tie game, people calm down and just tee off on his middling offerings. This year, he's been so bad that situation doesnt matter. Now, if Santos is great, he'll be great in an array of situations. On the radio today Spiegel was going on about how Matt Thornton doesnt have the closer's mentality. Call me crazy but I'll take the arm and take my chances.

I feel slightly bad for the guy whose thread was cancelled. Pointless? Yes. But you're told "we expect more meaningful threads around here," and yet the Justin Bieber thread currently sits at Page 3 on palehose talk. All in lieu of wins i guess.

Gordon's radio show has been getting so awkward to listen to as this slump persists

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 4, 2010 -> 07:19 PM) so, Kenny said Teahen is a real 3B. but he isn't. what does this mean? Kenny cant properly evaluate talent? The need for a lefty bat blinded his better judgment. Is my hope/guess

Kaplan and Phil Rogers arguing fervently on CTL. I cant decide which guy is dumber.

Here's a thought guys, how bout we leave my fact-deficient rumor-mongering to go unchecked

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:57 PM) So I´m curious is Rios the real deal now this year? He sure looks like after a month and change. He's had a respectable career minus one year. If he's the tempermental type, as some have said, then maybe that explains how a trade could create such a disturbance in his game mid year.

Sure would be great if we have that Rios who got 47 doubles in '08. That kind of bat with his D in center is well worth the contract.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) I don't mind Thornton here. We gotta win this game. Agreed. It's time to put us on track immediately before things slip away from us.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) haha peavy yellin at the umpire as he was leaving the field If he has any sense, it was more of him half-apologizing for any of the anger he was expressing earlier in the inning. But if that's true then that's not having much poise for being up 5-0...

So what specifically is Jake doing better today....to the eye, that is

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:37 PM) RBI's 10 and 11 for Alex. Way to pick up TMK, who's scuffling more than industrial grade sandpaper being dragged through the Gobi Desert. This is what we want out of posters.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) Yeah Alex! Big two out hit! Are things turning? Tell me things are turning. I'd count the way we performed the first two days in NY as part of a turnaround, even if we stunk it up Day 3.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) If I go out and start charging people money for sex, I might end the night with 60 bucks. Neither of those two things, me going out during finals, or successfully prostituting myself is going to happen. So, why should Pierre's happen? I- I lost my train of thought. Pierre had .360 OBP in the NL last year. It's not unheard of for him to have .330 OBP here at year's end. The prostitution part of that, though, I agree is unlikely.

Man, imagine how valuable Jones could be if a few more guys in this lineup were getting it done more often.

Ha AJ and hawk's sad parent response

lols at dejesus

To the eye Peavy seems completely different than the last time I saw him (two starts ago)
