Man Viciedo should have been all over that 2-1 straight fastball.

What a stellar outing for Jake Peavy.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 09:39 PM) The bottom of the order in the bottom of the 9th...I should've gone to Harper's debut tonight. I blew it. Stras is on the mound, too.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 09:35 PM) Rios with another RISP That was not strike 1.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 09:32 PM) Think we can get much in return? I think we can save $5 million that we can put towards next year's team if he keeps this up.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 09:27 PM) Why did Kenny give up on Sweeney? Ryan Sweeney has never been all that great. Never developed the power that would make him a legit full time starting OF. He would have filled roles on the Sox, but that's only because of the failure of other OF's to even be adequate.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 09:24 PM) Terrific. Shame our organization is backing him with guys who have no business in the bigs If that continues then he'll finish the season with better teammates.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 09:06 PM) You're hoping Lillibridge or Escobar can be a 0 WAR player. Like I said, it seems like we have to bring one in from the outside. Both Beckham and Morel can be 0 WAR players if they just play decent defense.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 09:01 PM) Tough position for KW. We might compete if we could acquire a good infielder, but that might seem silly if we go down the crapper. It's reasonable to hope we can replace one from within, but I don't know about two. We really don't have any major league quality/ready IF's in this org right now. You're at best hoping on Kuhn. That's not much.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) You'd give up your superstar (or all-star(s)) for a player that might never be the same again? If I were, say, Orlando? Absolutely. If I were the Lakers? The Celtics? Probably. About the only teams I'd say no are the Heat and the Thunder.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 08:45 PM) The NBA has the dumbest GMs out there. Hell, if I had cap room and you offered me Rose right now, I'd take him, unless I was trying to win a title next year. He's a better gamble than anything else i'd get for that money.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) Yea, keep guns unloaded... inside the safe, when time matters. Now, locked up inside the safe I get but otherwise why have them. Many, many bad things happen when guns can be accessed too quickly. Why have them is a fairly accurate sentiment. It's a great way to put your families lives at risk. If you insist you have to have them, then no security precaution is too much.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) Alejandro has been quiet lately. Didn't he have a double yesterday?

Tent collapsed outside of Busch stadium in STL after today's game.

Nice solid single Brent.

That was disturbingly close to the wall.

Man 14, you have to get 3rd on that, even if there's 2 down. DV waved you.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 08:20 PM) It would be nice to see something good out of Rios...he's had a bad couple of games. Ripped that ball but right at the CF.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) I guess referring to me as Joe as many posters have is all done in good fun. Got no problem with nicknames, but you personally referred to it as "egging a person on". If that's your goal...then quit.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 08:15 PM) If you determine me in violation that is your decision. Consider it a warning if needbe. If you want to have a discussion where you disagree with people, fine, but you just said you weren't doing that.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 08:09 PM) Relax C, I'm only mocking you guys. Deliberately egging on other posters is a violation of the terms of use of this site.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) Really? It seems as if you have said that guns make situations more dangerous. If a person actually cares for them, keeps them appropriately safe, unloaded, and locked at home, isn't carrying them, transports them safely (unloaded, locked), keeps them unloaded, but has the means to access them quickly at home should they feel the need (and there's no one else in the house who can easily figure that lock system out), fine. That is an appropriate level of responsibility in most cases and if people regularly did that it would save several hundred innocent lives per year, minimum. Your gun doesn't threaten me when it is unloaded and locked up. I just hope you don't shoot me if I ring your doorbell at 2:00 a.m. asking for help after a car accident.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 07:58 PM) It's been really cold out there B. GMAB. Seriously?

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 07:54 PM) What was wrong with Chris Pauls knee?? He came back and is still pretty damn good. Torn meniscus in his knee, different injury, and it took him what, 3+ years to truly get back to form?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 07:53 PM) I don't understand why Ventura or Coop allow our pitchers to wear only short sleeves in this weather. WTF? Seriously? A pitcher is more comfortable without sleeves and its your job to second guess?
