LOL, didnt the rabbit think he had AIDs until the very minute before he was blown away? I thought the fly was hilarious too, the gossip fly.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 04:17 PM) He is hurt also. They moved Cuddyer over to 2b. thier whole infield is a mess. Punto was hurt, Rivas was hurt, Cuddyer is hurt, Williams is hurt, Tiffie has been moved back and forth, Bartlett was already sent down. They need to make some sort of move. But that aint my problem!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) Burnett and Schmidt wont be there by the deadline. Boston/Baltimore will make a run at either. Cuddyer got hurt today. Hit by a pitch. They took him for xrays. If he is hurt and out for a while, the twins will have to make a move. They cant rely on Terry Tiffie as a viable 3rd baseman. havent they been starting some Williams kid there anyways?

Did Joey Grahams twin brother get drafted?

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 02:45 PM) Alien. Nice. Oh, that's not racist. LOL, now Im racist. I was making a reference to a discussion that was had last night when Leo Nunez made an appearance, and his picture was posted on the board. The kid is not photogenic. He looks like he is from outer space. Now I am off to a lynching, thankyouverymuch......

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) The Cubs are not a good hitting club. We made them look special though on Saturday. When did they face LAA? Was it during Vlad's DL stint?. I'll give you Colorado and Baltimore though. Cubs have the 6th best batting average in the league http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/aggreg...t=0&season=2005 they are anything but a bad hitting club

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) Take a look at the Yankees for what happens if you keep trading all of your prospects. They've got a lot of old guys on their roster, and no one in the minors. They have no one that can really help their major league team, and no real ammo to add another player in a trade. They're pretty much stuck with what they have. And the Sox can't afford to keep adding FA veterans like the Yankees do to replace them. Not all of them pan out, but those that do are of upmost importance, especially for a mid market team. How many World Series have the Yankees been in since 1996? How many AL Championships? How many times have they gone to the playoffs? How many times did they win their division? The Yankees have gotten the short end of the stick this year, but they have no problem mortgaging the future for the present, if the present means a World Series. Most importantly, the Yankees have put themselves in a position where their minor leagues arent as important any more because "everyone wants to be a Yankee", and they can stack their team in the offseason. I dont think the Yankees are the example you want to give when proving that you should not trade away your prospects. And the season isnt even over yet, I wont kick dirt over the Yankees until the playoffs start and the Yankees are officially out of it.

I read earlier that the rosters were possibly expanding to 14 players instead of 12, is this true?

This will probably get a few laughs, but I seriously think my fellow alum Darren Brooks from SIU will get a serious shot. he may be on the short side (6'3") but the kid is absolutely muscled and was a 2 time MVC player of the year and defensive player of the year. He averaged about 6 steals a game it seemed like, and he was money in the bank when the game was on the line.

Even though everyone is saying Schmidt might be hurt and he was last year and this and that, look at the numbers. Schmidt still pitched 225 innings last year with a 3.20 ERA. Hernandez career high, when he was HEALTHY was only 214 innings. Schmidt is a horse, and Hernandez is a big game gamer, nothing else really. If you look at the past three years without even knowing the names, who would you want? The pitcher that is averaging 200+ innings a year, or the pitcher who didnt even pitch two years ago, barely pitched 80 innings last year, and barely 90 innings 3 years ago? Whats the point of having a "Big Game Pitcher" if he is on the DL more than he is active?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 02:28 PM) Career wise I don't know. I think Duque has a better ERA. Past few years, I'll give you the argument that he's better. As far as right now, Schmidt= or > El Duque, but they aren't far off in comparison as of right now. Nope, Schmidt has a career ERA of 3.90 and El Duque has a career ERA of 3.96. El Duque http://www.baseball-reference.com/h/hernaor01.shtml Schmidt http://www.baseball-reference.com/s/schmija01.shtml

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 01:01 PM) f***. Why didn;t they keep Sisco in? Pena > Buddy Bell. Sisco was the problem. He loaded the bases and Nunez came in and couldnt hold it down. Pena gave up and quit. Buddy Bell>Tony Pena

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) Just curious: Who won last night, Twinkies or Royale's? Twinks. Some alien named Leo Nunez couldnt hold them down and they had about 6 hits in a row in the 7th or 8th.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) Conteras only shakes off pitches if you put anything but the forkball down. If you use the forkball sign like 90% of the time. He wont shake off any pitch. You know what pisses me off about that is that Contreras cannot understand that calling his own game and doing things his own way are the reasons that he hasnt had the career that he has expected. Put 2 and 2 together, Jose, it aint hard. Cooper should make a deal with him: Let AJ call the entire game, no questions asked. If you get lit up, we do it your way. If you dont, then you do it our way.

Thats my hottie. Leave Marisa Miller alone, SI made her a Cubs fan.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) No to Politte closing. He wasn't too successful in Toronto at it anyway. If ain't broke, don't fix it. He's been one of the most dominating setup-men in baseball this year. I hate to say it, but we should Shingo a shot. If he fails, then we have many other options. Dustin I dont know how this applies really. he wasnt good at much of anything with Toronto, closing, relieving, whatever. Sometimes players take longer to get where they need to be.

Would Vizquel perform better if put onto a potential playoff contender? Sometimes all it takes is a kick in the ass in the form of a trade to a contender and players perform well beyond expectations. Although Vizquels age and contract are definitely something to take into serious consideration.

All I needed to hear was one quote, and it really turned my stomach. "All of those people who think we are all just spoiled millionaires, well, you are all just jealous." I dont know how that could have been hatcheted and cut up by ESPN, and he clearly stated that they are spoiled millionaires with that quote. We all know that they are all spoiled millionairres,ownership, management, players, ALL of them. But at least the management keeps it at the bargaining table. Roenick is too involved in discussions and talks to be making statements as controversial and heated as they were. And then when the heat is turned on he wants to blame ESPN? f*** hockey.

QUOTE(kane0730 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) I'm actually more worried about Cleveland. They are finally starting to hit. Im really not too worried about Cleveland right now. They went on a really good hitting tear and winning streak, but they did it against San Francisco, Colorado, and Arizona. Arizona has some pitching and hitting, but Colorado and SF are drudging the bottom of the league in pitching. If they sweep the Red Sox in Fenway, I will change my tune. But I really dont see it happening.

I think Politte has developed a taste for closing. He is nearly unhittable when runners are in scoring position in tight games. I would trust him no problem. AND, if Politte excelled, I would consider flipping Politte and Hermanson in their roles when Hermanson came back. Politte rules.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 10:32 AM) Ha, they could've just re-signed Cairo. I love seeing these things happen to the Yankeees. If only they would happen to the Red Sox, too... The Red Sox are getting theirs still. there has been a Foulke Implosion sighting(pun intended) and they were sure that Schilling was going to be back sooner than he is going to be. The Yankees monetary arrogance is finally catching up with them though, and that is good news.

The best character in those movies was Death. His one liners still crack me up. William Sadler played him perfectly
