QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:22 PM) I didn't know that, cross him off the list then. I think I'd still take him ahead of Kotsay/Jones.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) I don't know, I thought I heard him complaining about the umps again. You did. He's complaining that the umps aren't giving the required time between innings so WGN keeps missing the first pitch of each inning. He said the same thing yesterday.

QUOTE (ICP! @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:17 PM) I thought about them but really ,Corgan, is just somewhere over the rainbow as far as musical vision. The guy would f*** up their music like he has with all these other wanna be projects he has had. I'm actually seeing them this Friday. Have you listened to any of the free stuff they're releasing online? Supposedly some of it is quite good.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:17 PM) And Hawk, STFU, its not the umpires who are leaving runners on base for us. Huh? That's not what he was complaining about.

Good pitch to Young. Good pitch.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:12 PM) dumb, dumb, dumb idea to steal there, especially on an 0-2 count. Against this pitcher though, a hit and run would have been a decent idea.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:11 PM) Does CQ always swing at everything like Dayan? I don't get to see all the games. I think it's a symptom of him not being 100%. He starts his swing earlier to compensate and can't hold up as easy.

Awful jump by Rios.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) Twins are crushing the cookies today, and our hitters unfortunately aren't. Someone's going to have to get a big hit today for us to get back into this game. At least for now, we're not that far back, and we've gotten enough cookies that you have to think we're going to get into one here soon.

The original lineup of the Smashing Pumpkins

Damnit Paulie

I think this would be a good time for a hit and run.

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:08 PM) It's bad either way, but I don't know if he meant to throw it there or if he missed badly. Fathom was noting the pitch selection, not the location.

Get 1, give it right back.

Andy Pettitte leaves with a strained left groin.

From the non-dead list, Ben Folds Five.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) Balta, are you freaking serious? Castro failed to get the runner over, and never made one attempt. Even Hawk talked about it. If Beckham had hit that ball a little to either side, he'd have failed to get the runner over as well.

Good work Beckham. If you're going to criticize Castro's AB, you have to criticize that Beckham hit too, because the only difference was that Beckham's wasn't right at the 3b.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) Awful, awful AB by Castro. Please end the personal catcher BS Ozzie! Our offense isn't good enough to put us at a disadvantage. Have you even looked at castro's numbers? Anyway, he hit that ball really, really hard, just right at their 3b.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) Nick Blackburn is hot garbage this year. They should be able to come back and put up a good amount of runs on him. His sinker's been effective so far.

By the way, yeah, that hit existed entirely because of the fake bunt.

OK back of the lineup, come on, get at least the 1 in.

I want to tie about 5 of our hitters down to chairs and put them in front of a video on a loop of what exactly JJ Hardy did to that low and outside offspeed pitch Garcia just threw.

Man was that ball hurt.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 09:27 PM) It's funny how you always find information to condemn everything but your massive government. Because if I point out anything bad that was done by the government prior to the last 8 months or so, the response I get is that "oh, you just blame bush for everything". For example..."I think it was a bad thing that the MMS spent 10+ years taking money and bribes and cocaine and hookers in exchange for doing zero oversight on offshore drilling proposals." "How dare you blame Bush for the oil spill! There's nothing he could have done! You just want to ban oil!"
