At least the bullpen is, uh, rested?

Danks out, Bruney in.

Bruney is starting to warm.

Danks may be hurt

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) Jose Reyes makes that play. Green probably not necessary.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) what happened? Runner takes off, Danks pickoff move, throws to Dunn, runner is caught easily, Dunn decent throw to Alexei, Alexei botches it and ball bounces off the heel of his glove. Runner safe at 2b.

Oh Come on Alexei

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) because you're in Los Angeles? Why do I get Mets/Rangers?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) I would actually be in favor of Obama saying it's not constitutional and f*** you, Congress - and see it get hashed out - then what he's doing now. There has been talk of a court case that would do exactly that but I haven't seen more about it since I posted the first details a few pages ago.

Annual complaint emails to Fox TV and MLB about their Saturday blackout rules sent

The Elf and Morel with base hits and Quentin drives in the run for the early lead. How the top of an order is supposed to work.

The Stealth Elf leads things off.

13 pitch, 123 first inning for D1.

Anyone hear anything about changing Humber's starting schedule (tomorrow) since he warmed up last night?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:09 PM) Yes, very debatable. He's never had good range defensively and doesn't have a great arm but has always had pretty good hands. He's an average to above average defensive 2B, below average to average defensive SS. Both Andrus and Ramirez blow him clean out of the water on defense. And, as a matter of opinion, I believe that Alexei Ramirez is the best defensive shortstop in the entire Major Leagues. Not the right day to be saying that, just for emotional reasons. I'd almost put that play out of my mind.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 03:05 PM) f*** you FOX and your Blackout Rules... ^

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 02:53 PM) Why was that funny? Because you didn't realize it was all part of BS's plan to get you to NY to Gay Marry you. for NY.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 02:53 PM) IF we lose this division the scarlet letter-men will be Becham, Rios, Dunn, Thornton ( as closer ), Santos ( growing pains ), and Pierre. Morel has not done THAT bad. He certainly can be better and in particular we need to see some more power out of him now. But he's low on the list of guys you should be complaining about.

Nice

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 02:18 PM) Bruney was a bad choice, but when is somebody in this organization going to surprise and actually get the job done once in a while? Bruney could have come through, but no... meatball, home run. I guess Humber is a guy who stepped up. Who else? Jeff Gray?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 10:49 AM) However, sober Steve would like to point out that I was all over the Asik pick and thought it was brilliant. I am however very disinterested in anything Bulls that doesn't feel like a win-now move, even if there won't be a season this year! Stockpiling tradeable assets = a win now move

Maybe the fish are the losers.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 11:04 AM) In all seriousness, I can't wait to test out my $4 gallon gas theory. Right now that seems to be the economy's tipping point. If he can push it back down to the $3.00 range, I bet we see a surprise in the 3Q growth. For once, I have to say, I think he's just about right.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 01:15 PM) Morel is terrible too and what's maddening is they don't have to play him because of his contract. They're going to lose this division in part because they stuck too long with Pierre and Morel. Brent Morel is not terrible and repeating it doesn't make him so. He's a rookie and he's hitting .282 since May 3, and playing excellent defense.
