not a quality start, but in truth, Masset didnt get hit hard at all. very good for a 70 pitch spot start

the calls for swish to be moved down in the order will rise konerko out owens in but how long til that green becomes forest green and then darker still

gomez just became a flattened bug in the windshield that is toby hall

QUOTE (frankie5angels @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 12:12 PM) Who's joking. Have you seem this teams offense lately?? I have no confidence in this team's offense whatsoever. NONE. ZERO.ZILCH. it's baseball. a lot of things went right early in the year, a lot of things are going wrong now. point blank, if the middle of the lineup returns to its usual form, things are going to get better. if they dont, it wont. but we're not an ozzie ball team, we're a team that's going decapitate people with a boatload of HRs and hopefully some good pitching. that will either lead to a championship or it will not.

Toby Hall defensive genius!

how much of our problem is due to having the best hitters low in the order?

ozzie was caught on camera mocking cuddyer's strained reaction to getting HBP EDIT: and while inappropriate it was hilarious

this fella nick masset he's a good fella

ozzie's hilarious good god

would be nice to have that Tampa version of Toby Hall at some point here

Interesting night by Floyd. If when he's off, he's like this...the staff looks great.

Floyd's pants are lined with his own fecal matter right now. Paulie barked in his ear scaring him

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) Jason Jennings fetched a nice return for the Rockies before the 2007 season. Randy Johnson to the Astros was a gold mine for the Mariners and he only had half a year left on his contract. At the time of the trade the White Sox gave up the minor league player of the year and their supposed future catcher for Freddy Garcia who only had half a year left. Freddy was doing pretty good for Seattle at the time of that trade... 3.20 ERA in 15 starts. And Unit is Unit. Jon Garland, meanwhile, was doing what he always does, which isnt going to knock socks off w/ one yr left on the deal.

O GOD BUT JIM THOME WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO DO THAT EVER AGAIN

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 07:37 PM) For the one millionth time, I don't give a s*** how Garland does. GMs will give one. They're funny like that. I dunno, I mean with one year left on his deal you cant expect worthwhile prospects. and jon always with the 4+ ERAs

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 07:35 PM) They all swing for the fences all the time. Now, they're Ok at it so they'll score some runs but I don't think they're very good at situational baseball. now this is a very strong point. my belief is that we're going to be a lot better at that with Swisher lower in the order and Quentin higher in the order. when and how that can happen, however, is unclear. i feel like we're only a roster addition and lineup tweak away from being a lot better.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) As my sig says, it's frustrating to think we traded our 3 best prospects and Jon Garland for this mess. lets at least wait until we're out of first place for these. first place is kind of the point. EDIT: and jon garland is his usual not so great self still.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 07:31 PM) Yeah, this team's been just amazing lately scoring runs. regardless of what happens the rest of the way, the guy youre responding to made an excellent point: it's the 5th inning.

Jerry Jones just caught a HR ball

floyd needs a quick one here
