QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) He's making so many mistakes with his location right now. Throw sliders! The eye high slider?

Cmon dammit

I miss last month when Santos made everything easy.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:49 PM) He's the perfect example of the saying "slider-speed bat" It's not his bat, it's his body.

The A's necks are going to be sore after this inning.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:38 PM) Yeah, I'm sure they feel completely inadequate that they found a future all-star, HR champ, perennial MVP candidate in the second round as opposed to the first round. In other words, it's a crapshoot. A weighted random number generator.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:36 PM) lol at bruney, go flip some burgers another guy from our system that is worthless AAA garbage Bruneys a 29 year old journeyman. Not exactly what I'd call "from our system"

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:26 PM) No, I'd rather have the Marlins scouting department. It's really that simple. They didn't get Stanton because they lost 110 games and ended up with the first pick. They also failed to find him in the first round.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) Second round pick. But remember, the reason our farm sucks hairy, pimple infested ass is because we have the third or forth most wins in the last ten years and we're severely crippled because we rarely have a top 10 pick. I see. So you'd rather have been the marlins of the past 6-7 years, no playoff appearances and a full selloff.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:03 PM) http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/06/1...sin-craft-beer/ I read that and went through some of the links. I could really evaluate based on the articles whether or not it would actually shut down any small breweries or not, a number of them said that they already use distributors and it isn't a problem.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 10:06 PM) Why can't our illustrious hitting coach fix him? He's getting closer

How on earth does each team have 6 hits?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) Except for when he is on, then he is the most exciting pitcher on this team to watch. And again, Jackson gets scared by a grounder...... Ugh. I dunno, I like watching the Guys with the curve balls when they're on.

Rios's hands are a full foot higher than last week. The bat is actually starting at his shoulder.

Al Simmons, 1935 are the original holder.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:59 PM) What has he done to ever hurt anyone? He doesnt get duis, he doesnt hurt people. Hes a "villain" in basketball, I guess I dont get caught up in the face/heel thing, thats just all how the media portrays it. The city of Cleveland?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:59 PM) Lebron has sacrificed his own game to try and win a title. Lebron has done everything thats asked of him. Lebron shows up and plays every day, he plays more minutes than anyone. You're actively giving him credit for wanting things to be easier and hiding under someone else's shadow?

It's really sad that this game is tied.

Sigh.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:55 PM) I really dont think anyone was as hard as Lebron over the summer, but honestly Lebron has earned my respect over the entire season. I get that piling on Lebron is the in thing to do, but Lebron is not as bad of a guy as people are making him out to be. What on earth could a person say Lebron has done this year that has increased his or her respect for him?

Ah the phrase "Alex didn't read it well." or as we call it...Friday.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:48 PM) I responded to that already, its like saying Rose is Merlin because he has got a wizard on his arm. Im also pretty sure that Lebron got that tat when he was 18, a lot of us grow up after then. Because if theres one thing I think of when I think of today's Lebron... It's...grown up?

Pierre decided that last nights successful bunt made him look too darn good.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:39 PM) This guy throws a mediocre fastball above the belt. It's the exact pitch Beckham can't handle due to some inexplicable hole in his swing. 2009 Beckham lines that pitch to rf for a 2b.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:37 PM) Not that I doubt it, but can you elaborate? Also - this is pretty pathetic to ask, but why do Gordon Ks seem worse than most other Ks? Gordon still can't consistently time a fastball
