QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 11:41 AM) torn thumb ligament, either fighting his GF father or in the benches clearing brawl the day afterwards with the mets What a douche. If he were healthy and on our staff of course I'd root for him.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 11:38 AM) ha, if his torn ligament heals and if he doesnt go to jail for assault Ah. Didn't know he was injured.

Any relievers out there that could help us more than Harrell or Torres? K-Rod available?

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) I'll be there, not sure what section, but does anyone know if gates are opening earlier than usual or anything that day? I'd like to get in the stadium as early as possible, plus, I gotta get one of those bobbleheads! Oh snap! Didn't even know it was bobblehead day.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 11:21 AM) i'm holding out for Ryan Bukvich Day. Good luck finding tickets for that one. You'll be paying quite the premium.

Found tickets on stub hub and I'm really looking forward to this game. Who else is going? Anyone want to meet up and tailgate? BTW I'll be in section 103 with the wife.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) Somehow, I'm still less than confident at our ability to say that Gulf seafood is safe. f*** it. Just eliminate seafood from your diet.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 09:48 AM) Yeah. Completely serious. His KAAH when playing on a 1st place team or a team within 3 games of 1st place is 1.32. In every other situation he is at a 0.75.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 09:48 AM) I'm on vacation but followed the last couple outs via mlb at-bat. I hope this means that the Beckham we know and love is back. This is yet another positivie sign pointing in that direction. Still find it puzzling that he is batting last in the lineup. He's been one of our most productive and consistent hitters since the ASB and gets the least amount of ABs. 2nd Half: .342/.398/.558/.957 5 HR 23 RBIs

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 09:46 AM) Where are the numbers to back this up? Are you serious?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 09:34 AM) We know he's a millionaire cheater/fraud. That's a pretty easy one. And puts no effort into the game when he's not motivated.

Went to PNC Park Monday night. What a gorgeous park. Easily makes my top 5 list. And it also reminded me of how we screwed up royally with many of the decisions we made for our new park.

As much as I hate him as a person I don't think we need to look at baseball players as role models. If he can help us win then get him.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 08:52 AM) 9 replies in a winner thread. NIce. The optimism police is here!

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 07:24 PM) I have really liked the android platform. That one link that you posted on here, BigSqwert, that allows the phone to be programming is pretty neat. Did you load it on your phone? (the one that you have to pay in british pounds?)_ Not yet. I've been contemplating whether to get it or not. Another heads up for gamers. Gameloft is offering free trials on most of their games. Just pull them up in your browser.

Pierre

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 12:13 AM) I had put this in my Blockbuster queue when you posted this, and just got it the other night and watched it tonight. s***, you're not kidding. That is the scariest movie I have ever seen I think...no exaggeration...and I'm not sure the part at the end makes me feel better or not. Thanks for ruining my life, Sqwert. More updates.

QUOTE (maki @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 08:42 AM) Mully and Hanley reporting Harrell's facebook page said he's on his way today. Hopefully we won't need him much. I'd assume he's the long man.

Kudos for Jenks stepping it up lately. We need him to be the old Bobby for this stretch run.

So who's to blame for sending an injured Putz out last night? And why the hell were we carrying two injured relief pitchers on the roster? My god! Who the hell is running this team?

I haven't been around. Did Thornton go on the DL?

Why even bother going for Manny if your bullpen is in shambles?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 09:44 PM) Cause what's the point of having Pierre if you're not going to let him steal to get into scoring position. You might as well have an OBP god like Thome being your leadoff hitter if you're not going to trust him. Now, if Pierre is on 2nd base and no outs, I'm fine with the bunt. I wonder why Ozzie changed his philosophy. He always had Pods steal 2nd in 2005 instead of bunting him over. And god our bullpen f***ing blows.
