QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2009 -> 05:11 PM) It figures Aardsma would learn to pitch after leaving the Sox... Just wish he were the only one.

So yeah, this ought to be put here.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 20, 2009 -> 04:32 PM) I'd trade Rios for Zambrano and Cotts (to get him out of that hell hole). That's it though. I'd rather have rios.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 20, 2009 -> 04:07 PM) Time for a squib kick, a sideline pass and a game tying FG For reference, I hate the squib kick.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 20, 2009 -> 03:50 PM) By the way, the Cubs have suspended Milton Bradley for the rest of the year. Some days I'd complain about that being in the NFL thread. Today I'll just laugh.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 20, 2009 -> 03:20 PM) I didn't see it. Can someone explain exactly what happened? Beckham gets punched in the groin on the follow through by the catcher as he throws the ball to 2nd.

Oh Jesus God no. Unless we know that Peavy's arm is about to fall off, that's ludicrous.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) Hell of a drive by Cutler! A lesser QB and the Bears are down at least 14 in this game, right?

Why is Justin Timberlake playing ping pong against Peyton Manning? Why are they both speaking chinese? Why is this supposed to make me want to buy a TV?

QUOTE (tommy @ Sep 20, 2009 -> 01:48 PM) WISE caught stealing to end the game. EPIC. Maybe we should have tried bunting instead.

"The punch! His Groin! It works on so many levels!"

Flowers with his first hit!

Rios with 2 hits today

The big cheese hasn't totally committed yet, but the Service is doing the preparations in case he can "Find time away from the Health Care debate" to go.

DJ and Farmer saying Beckham may have pulled that Oblique again.

You know...Quentin has 309 AB's this season and 17 HR's. Even with the low batting average, he's still on pace for 30+ home runs in a full season.

Q gave it the classic bat flip too.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Sep 19, 2009 -> 05:42 PM) I'd let him get to 85-90ish if he still looks good. They said 75 coming in to this game. They said that for a reason. Winning this game is not worth pushing it.

There, Quentin puts peavy in line for the win. Now sit him down Ozzie.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Sep 19, 2009 -> 05:29 PM) If anyone isn't watching, Peavy is lobbying Ozzie and Coop to let him pitch another inning (it's currently the bottom of the 5th). Say no, Ozzie.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Sep 19, 2009 -> 04:48 PM) His defensive issues aren't beyond repair. But they will be if he can't get in better shape.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 19, 2009 -> 04:18 PM) LOL. Well the odds are it would be either PSU or OSU, both of which can beat SC. So not sure if you thought maybe Indiana would make the Rose Bowl? Frankly...I keep thinking the big 10 team has a shot coming in to the game, and then SC just slaughters them. It's happened waht, 3 years in a row now?

And there's the traditional single loss that winds up with SC beating the crap out of the big 10 team in the Rose Bowl. (The Rose Bowl isn't national championship this year is it?)

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Sep 19, 2009 -> 03:09 PM) I also have to say that I highly disagree about his range. Viciedo has plenty of range. He can throw a runner out from deep in foul territory and he sometimes ranges too far over into the shortstop's lane. I actually think he'll stick at third. That probably depends on his weight, a lot. And maybe on that Beckham dude, frankly.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 19, 2009 -> 01:43 PM) I'd put money on the Cards re-signing him. Their payroll is only around 80 mil this year and have money to spend. It's the Boras game though. There are teams that could use him just as much who also might have money to spend. The Giants, the Yankees come to mind.
