Sigh.

Sigh. At least no one had a chance to catch it.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 04:25 PM) I hope 3 runs is enough cushion for him, but I would not disagree with putting him in there right now, hopefully he can get some confidence from it... Simple reality is that we're not winning this division without Thor this year. Even if he's not the closer, if he's no better than a mopup guy, we're not winning the division, our pen will be a disaster. We have to keep running him out there unless he's hurt.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) Assuming we have a lead in the 9th, does Ozzie send Thornton out there? Yes.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 03:50 PM) Which means the improvements in the job market will end quickly, IMO. I know i've been the pessimist for 5+ years now...but I'm sorta agreeing with this.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) lol@BigSqwert's avatar...it's funny but it's like half a decade late I believe his memoirs are just about to come out or just came out.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 03:48 PM) When do we start to worry about KC though? June.

Damn, Castro should have stayed on 2b so that Pierre couldn't be thrown out trying to steal.

successful ozzieball!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 03:39 PM) I'll die if they don't get at least one run in. Congratulations on living.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 02:54 PM) Except what I am saying is the opposite. In this case, some growth has occurred, but we've hit a ceiling with it, so companies are forced to hire. Therefore, my read is, the growth may be less than spectacular the first half of 2011, but then pick up a lot in the 2nd half. There's one big problem with that...even if the job market is improving...consumer confidence is plummeting, because of the price of one particular commodity.

Pretty much all the slightly scuffling guys have hits today.

Christ, another pickoff? STOP RUNNING

Sigh, I tune in now and we're already giving up an out on the basepaths. Pierre is 4/7 on the season on stealing.

Seems like everyone and their grandmother's financial advisor is rushing out to cut their estimates of GDP growth this week.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) After all of the chances and patience he's been given by the Rangers' and other organizations, maybe he should shut the f*** up and focus on not mainlining heroin while his arm recovers. Because he hasn't done anything for the Rangers org either?

Castro

The Lakers will lose the West if they are missing Bynum or if Bynum is severely limited.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) That part is the coaches problem. Not being stupid is up to Hamilton. There is a distinction there. If the coach sends Hamilton home and Hamilton thinks its a stupid call, should he try as hard as he can to score the run or not?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 11:26 AM) Yeah, if you think 10 games is going to discourage teams from signing Albert, you're crazy. If they have the money, that is the last thing that they are worried about. The only thing that will hurt him, is if he gets exposed for streroids. Other than that, it is all about how big of a deal can he find. Or if he's seriously hurt.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 09:29 AM) And if Hamilton slides feet first, there is no problem. Except for the out being a lot easier.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 08:58 AM) godless commie. yes? what do you want?

Bynum for once hurt his knee at the wrong time. No idea yet how long he'll be out.
