Pitchers can always throw 100 pitches when they start the game. It's magic. They never tire before then.

I think I predicted this 3 days ago.

No one could have predicted the failure of the levees the housing bust Ozzie having no one up in the pen to start the inning.

No one could have predicted...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:43 PM) Sinker still working. Throw one down and in. He hasn't had a ground ball out all night.

Ok, someone needs to tell the guy at third to move in.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) Who do you go with in the 6th? Too early for Crain. Humber? Sale? Thornton? This is where we could use that other RHR. Bruney? In what is arguably the biggest game of the season to this point? Ozzie will be tempted to leave Jake in because the 5th went by uneventfully. Start the inning with Jake. Go to sale if anyone is on for Cabrera and Martinez.

Paulie was not the ws MVP.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:33 PM) Morel and Lilli for Aramis ?????????? If the Cubs move him they probably wouldn't want a 3b back, Vitters is still down there somewhere.

78 pitches and there goes jakes control.

Hawk wants the flatbread.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:30 PM) I'll telling you guys whatever Jake gave us tonight was great, but he's gonna run outta gas this inning. Bottom of the order helps. But bullpen needs to be up to start the inning. They won't be but thy should be.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:29 PM) I bet Lilli gets DFA'd I'D be very unhappy with that.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:26 PM) we need some more runs, offense seems to have packed their bags We call that the Verlander effect.

Hawks getting some laughs this inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:23 PM) Wasn't all that effective last year either. Terrible mechanics and conditioning leading to unprecedented surgery perhaps?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) He NEVER has a slider anymore. Still stunned how it went from maybe best slider in baseball to below average. I think Guillen popped out on the slider

Nice effort Gordon

Good battle, Cabrera just won.

Lol Hawks call of that strikeout

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) If STL trades Rasmus, they will need another OF. They've already got a different kid that LaRussa likes playing there.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 09:03 PM) I was somewhat surprised to read that only 57 undrafted free agents made the opening day roster last year in the NFL. We always hear about these hidden gems that fell through the cracks and while that is true for a handful or so, most will be nothing more than practice players filling in for a roster spot here and there. NFL.com had an analyst do a top 20 list of UFA's. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d820e...h-sudden-impact Most UDFas take a couple seasons to work their way up to starting level.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 08:58 PM) so maybe de Aza is going to be traded? No one is knocking down the door for a 27 year old non tender candidate.

48 pitches through 3 for Jake. Bullpen needs to warm when he gets to 75.

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 08:44 PM) I've been asking this for a long time. And while I'm glad he hit a two run home run, it is bitter sweet because this secures the cleanup spot for him for the next month. And hopefully he keeps earning it.
