QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 01:38 PM) Quentin is doing his best to see the least amount of pitches humanly possible. That was exactly the habit he was in before he went down.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 09:53 AM) This speaks for itself. Maybe we need people to obsessively follow everything he saids now? http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainmen...,6512647.column The problem is not that he's Jon Stewart or that he's a comedian or that people actually trust him. The problem is the rest of them.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 01:30 PM) With a terrible defense like this we have little chance to win it all this year. It's like the swine flu. It's contagious.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 01:26 PM) So why are we pitching to the only good Tigers hitter with an open base? This game's about to be over early. I think we both know the answer. Carlos Guillen would be hitting lefty

Seriously, why don't you walk Cabrera there? Other teams do that to us all the time.

Joy.

So basically you're saying the Pirates should trade for David Cook?

Would the Cubs throw in any money?

Gavin, I think it's time to bean some hitters. I don't mean Detroit's hitters. I mean ours. Something needs to wake them up.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:01 PM) u go with the hot hand. how many times does linebrink have to fail for him to make a move?? fustrating. Who in our bullpen is actually a hot hand?

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 07:24 PM) Again, I could be wrong, but money seems to always be the first thing people talk about in reference to a play when it comes to this organization. Because spending money wildly with no plan is a terrible way to do business and it wrecks your franchise real quick if you don't have Yankee resources. Where would we be if we'd signed Soriano? Or Hunter? To those contracts? We might well have been dumping a lot more salary. People still complain about dumping Swisher and Vazquez, although the money saved was used. We might have moved both and not signed Viciedo and Ramirez. Or gone for an easier sign than Jordan Danks or Gordon Beckham.

We deserved to lose that. Really, with the pitchers we had going, the pitching wasn't responsible for these losses.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 06:26 PM) Can we please stop pitching Linebrink in close games for a bit? Who would you rather use?

And Thor walks in the winning run.

Brandon Lyon time. 3.57 ERA.

And there's 7 innings. Colon probably still comes out for the 8th.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 05:58 PM) Maybe he should concentrate on our team getting that W. he's been a bit iffy but he hasn't been bad at all. Not so much that you pull him automatically at 75 pitches.

Hit him on a 1-2 pitch.

SOB.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 05:51 PM) That isnt going to happen. I wouldn't really be surprised.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 05:45 PM) Ozzie better not let Wise face the lefty. We may not like it and we may lose some games because of it, but we're better off if we don't push our luck with Q like that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 05:44 PM) Getz/Beckham Wise/Castro.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 05:42 PM) Should be a battle of the bullpens now. The heart of the order is coming up Inge/Santiago/Ryan?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 05:41 PM) Wow, no one is even warming up. He's thrown 77 pitches and is at a quality start, and has had seemingly less help than the other guy has had.
