Another worthy topic on the frontpage of Palehose. Can we start losing or something?

I think you're right Rowand44--offensively he's streaky, but he's playing tremendous defense again, and that makes him worth trotting out there even during his cold streaks. He's great at going to his left and right, has a cannon, and is excellent at turning the DP--I still like having him at SS over Cintron--not that you suggested that.

Uribe is proving his value, it's about time. I'm a big fan of his, and was hoping for some more consitency, 'guess I'll have to settle for these hot streaks.

WTF, Montero, Thornton, and Garcia combine for 3 runs in 8 innings? Oh, were playing the Pirates? Nevermind. Good work though by those guys, you play who's on the schedule.

Actually, one look at Owens' terrible AAA numbers should clear up any doubt that he's not ready, and might not be ever ready. For a slap hitting LF, he better be able to get on base at a good clip, and he's shown little in the way of the necessary plate discpline. It might be about time to give up on Owens. Apparetnly there was a fairly large fight behind home plate at Wrigley last night in th 9th inning.

LOL, that sounds so....wrong!

The Greg Maddux original Cubs deal--did they get anything decent back?

Liriano 7IP, 8K, 2 ER tonight. Damn. Now is only 2 innings short of ERA leader eligibility, would lead Santana by nearly half a run.

This thread has me confused, why do we need SS help?

Jesus, everything is going right for the Tigers this year, but they have a ton of young pitching. They could be on the verge of something very good. I'm glad the AL Central's future is looking so bright. New competition is exciting for everyone.

Well, looks like we'll keep pace with the Tigers. We need to sweep this pathetic team.

This how to handle a "war" between the club and the media: http://baseballanalysts.com/archives/2006/06/war_stories.php Excellent article and this guy has gained a lot of respect and dignity, something Mariotti will never know.

I don't understand the question. What did Ozzie have to do with anything about the comeback? He took Crede and Dye out early. If anything, he threw in the towel way before the players. You're taking your Ozzie man crush way too far.

I should have made it green for easy interpretation!

Iguchi only hits homers when it doesn't count.

Damnit, this whole game swung on a terrible mental mistake by Vasquez and AJ, that is more annoying than a physical error.

wow, great AB pods.

Sounds like a plan.

Paul Konerko's times to first?

LOL, thanks, I needed that.

jesus.

well, we still have 15 outs to play with, the way the bullpen has been pitching, I'll take it.

jesus, you should never throw a strike on 0-2, let alone a cockshot.

vasquez settling down nicely here.

Well, we halved the lead and made Oswalt work a bit. Good inning.
