QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 03:34 PM) Rios has to got be benched. Call up De Aza if you have to, but we can't keep giving him playing time. I don't think these 2 are getting to that 12.5 run number today.

Man, that was a quick inning.

3-2 Cubs lead. Come on Bats.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 03:22 PM) Oh please, Javy's at least had huge success in baseball earlier in his career. Huge success, comparable to Jackson's 2008 first half?

Lead run up to 3b.

Nuts.

Jackson just can't put guys away when he gets ahead early.

QUOTE (dielac @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 03:02 PM) Uggghhhh! Should of gone to home plate!!!! Pena was a gone goose Supposedly AJ was out after the play telling Morel he made the right call.

Ok Bats, let's get some more.

COME ON EDWIN

Kobe appears to have gone to Germany for one of those quasi-legal blood/platelet injection surgeries on his knee. FWIW, there is also no testing for banned substances while there is a lockout.

3 pitch K of Soriano following the Pena walk. At least we know who's dangerous right now.

Well, right now I can't be too mad about walking Pena.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) How much did Beckham miss a homer by? Off the wall.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 02:48 PM) Gordo's could have been a homer, but the wind pushed it down & towards the corner. Jackson actually looks decent with the bat, well hit ball at Pena The radio guys actually think the wind died down and that if the wind were blowing it would have pushed it foul and out.

Double came on an 88 mph fastball.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) That would be a dream come true, if nothing else than for a nice relaxing weekend. That would make a 5 game winning streak with the Royals coming to town. I think I'd be happy seeing a game mid-winning streak again this year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 02:38 PM) Needed to go off-speed there against Fukudome, AJ. Gameday says that the single came on an 86 mph slider.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 02:36 PM) Yahoo says wind is blowing in. Is it blowing out to left? Gameday says blowing in at 24 mph from RF.

Ok, Tex is baiting me, so I'm stealing this one. On April 21, Rick Perry asked Texans to pray for rain that would help end the drought and fires in Texas. Here is a graphic of the Texas drought conditions at that time. Here is what the drought conditions in Texas are this week. God is strongly opposed to helping out Rick Perry.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 02:31 PM) But Ozzie needs to keep calling for it to get the most out of this 1 and 2 in the order I think Ozzie has called for more hit and runs in the last month than he's called for in the last 3 years.

2 out RBI on hits with RISP.

Yes!

Ok, there's that lead!

DJ and Farmer actually questioning why Pierre wasn't sent by Cox.
