Anyone know if Jenks is available tonight?

7 pitch inning for Weaver there. ugh. Come on guys, be smarter than that.

Pods needs to work the count here again.

And you were worried about over-using it...

The Denver Nuggets are running a PSA from George Karl on the Radio giving detailed instructions on how to avoid shaking a baby.

There's your run Gavin. Make it count.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) Two great swings by Thome and Dye. Fire Greg Walker.

A hit! A fine hit!

34 pitches, 23 strikes for G through 3. 3 k's to boot.

Hell of a quick inning there for Gavin. I looked away and it was over.

At least Pods saw 7 pitches there. 44 pitches through 3 for Weaver.

Be nice if someone could have a long at bat and foul a few pitches from Weaver off.

Gasol played 21 minutes in the first half and has 4 points. Are they not getting the ball to him at all or is he still acting so tentative and taking a few seconds to allow the doubleteam to show up every time he gets the ball.

Good inning for Gavin. Appeared to make excellent use of his curveball there.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 27, 2009 -> 07:22 PM) farmer and DJ were talking about the rotation weaver gets on his fastball, which makes it look like a breaking pitch and how the high heat could fool them into thinking it'll break down into the zone, which is why pods swung so badly at that high heater in the first inning For every Verlander who we rip but no one else seems to be able to, there's a guy like Weaver too, who we just aren't close to.

Cancel the postgame show.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 27, 2009 -> 07:00 PM) Maybe, but he's improved a lot defensively so I think the Sox are planning on keeping him there for the time being. Now if Beckham ultimately ends up at 3B, than Viciedo would obviously slide. Either way I expect Viciedo and Beckham in Chicago by seasons end. Of course thats because I think Viciedo will be putting up pretty monster numbers for the next month or so in AA and than get promoted to AAA. I'd like to see a dramatic improvement in his K/BB ratio before we start talking about a promotion for him.

Where's that smiley again?

LOL, she's DQ'd because of a freaking college yearbook?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2009 -> 06:38 PM) So 2 years from now, Cain would be looking at a huge deal? Is Boras his agent? Unless there's been an unpublicised change: Agent: Len Hardison, Kyle Rote Jr.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2009 -> 06:25 PM) Not a huge Cain fan. I'll never forgive him for turning on his brother, the Undetaker. Anyways, Cain's about to become very expensive Roto. ?

QUOTE (G&T @ May 27, 2009 -> 06:26 PM) Isn't Chavez's career threatened by back injuries? His back acts up one more time and doctors say they're going to have no choice but to perform a likely-career-ending surgery.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 27, 2009 -> 06:12 PM) if you ask me he's a younger, probably better javy vazquez Oh God no. Are you saying someone ripped off Matt Cain's balls? Because if you are, you better not tell me anything more. Because I don't want to hear it.

This New Yorker piece on health care costs was an excellent read.
