QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 05:41 PM) It is sad CQ can't return to the CQ of that one season. Hell, he had a few weeks last year where he looked like himself in 2008 also. Pretty much when his foot felt fine he was raking.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 05:39 PM) So is Martin throwing an invisible baseball? 86 mph straight fastball, yet he's set his career high in strike outs? I'd love a chance to respond, but Fox won't let me. I'm watching an Iron Chef Repeat. The Secret Ingredient is "beans".

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 05:33 PM) Was Julio Franco the oldest player in baseball history? Except for Minnie?? Oldmar could play til he's 50 as well. Not even close, according to the Wikipedias. Satchel Paige may have pitched until he was 59.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 05:38 PM) No one asks Ozzie tough questions. Lou gets a lot more media scrutiny. You don't have to ask Ozzie a tough question to get an angry answer.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 05:37 PM) Wonder if he'll implode like Lou. Um, how does one tell "imploding like Lou" from "Normal Ozzie Guillen Press Availability"?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 05:28 PM) Ditto I don't buy anything until they win something.

Can we finally name a December 31st NCAA football game "Manute" in his honor?

The thing that bugs me is...why does MLB want me watching Iron Chef America right now? I'm spending $200 a year on the MLB Extra Innings package, I'm more than willing to be advertised to by their sponsors, I want to watch the game, and they tell me no.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 05:22 PM) Seriously. . . there has to be an in-season answer to some of these hitting problems. If we continue getting SP like this then KW has a duty to try and save this season. I haven't taken a look around the league but there has to be someone available to help this pathetic offense. So far, it seems like a very pitching rich market. In terms of hitting, it might well come down to whether the Sox decide to buy or sell.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 05:25 PM) I saw this while at an 8 hour Birthing class....and the lineup disgusted me more than seeing live births on video. You win today sir.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) At what point are we allowed to be worried that he may just not have it? I think a lot of us started that in May.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) I think Hedo will end up back in Sacramento somehow if they can make a deal work. Geoff Petrie's still a pretty big fan of his. Sacto has had as bad of financial problems as anyone though.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 04:31 PM) So, like I said, swap places with Cora. He can then sit on the bench. Is the dugout handicap accessible?

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 04:26 PM) He can't coach because he had knee surgery? Kinda hard to coach 1b if you can't stand up.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 04:26 PM) if our offense only got 2 runs in 11 innings last night so 1 might be all we get today with this lineup. Well, last night's opposing starting pitcher has something of a solid changeup.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 04:25 PM) TBS does it too. No one minds when TBS does it because then Extra innings and the local channels carries the game we'd like without blackouts.

But then Toronto would be stuck paying $20 million for Shaq, basically with the only real benefit being that $18 million is cheaper than what is left on Turkoglu's contract. And on top of that, the year that they'd be getting out from Shaq's contract, they'd be staring at a lockout.

Something tells me that if Peavy lets this get out of hand, the offense won't be bailing him out.

Again, Vizquel keeps acting like our most competent hitter.

12

11 That one is probably unearned too.

This will really hurt Harold's ability to steal 2nd base.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) Yeah, you make it by being popular.. As a position player, sure. Not as a pitcher.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 03:09 PM) 9-0 Angels.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 03:32 PM) You guys act like Jenks is some hack who blows a significant portion of his saves. He's been reliable for years. But you don't make the all star team by being reliable.
