QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 01:29 PM) He isn't really an OF anymore. He has to be a slight improvement over Q. Plus I'd rather have less opportunity for Carlos to get injured.

Why can't they just put Kotsay in RF if he's going to play?

Pierre -- LF Vizquel -- 3B Rios -- CF PK -- DH Quentin -- RF Kotsay -- 1B Ramirez -- SS Castro -- C Beckham -- 2B Garcia -- P

Price pulled about 2 batters too late. Hopefully the pen comes in to finish the Tigers off.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 01:01 PM) FGINAA And never was one.

I wonder if this condition is an old animal instinct that isn't being properly suppressed in certain people. An animal going in the wild may feel vulnerable if there are others around.

Pauley! Pauley! Pauley! Oh wait. Wrong guy.

Pena puts the Rays up 1-0 with a blast to RF.

They sort of remind me of the Angels right now. From buyers to potential sellers at the flip of a switch. They have too many holes to fill IMO.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 11:18 AM) I would love for us to be 6 games up on those Tigers. Think they might even unload a player if they're 7 back after tomorrow?

Tigers playing early today. Lets hope for a Rays sweep.

By getting him we also play keep-away from the Twins.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 09:09 AM) I dunno. Getting lit up twice in one week by the light hitting A's would not bode well for a pennant drive. It might be a different case if we were up by 10 games but we're essentially tied for 1st with no chance at the wild card. And with Freddy being a question mark for the stretch drive and Mark having historically poor Augusts it might be too much to count on a rookie who hasn't shown much.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 09:00 AM) It would be totally ridiculous to go out and acquire a pitcher like Lilly based on whatever Hudson does tomorrow. I don't disagree with you but it's feasible. EDIT: And 3 out of 4 starts being terrible (if he were to bomb tomorrow) while burning our bullpen is a cause for concern. Especially when it was against sub-par opponents.

Gordon

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 08:46 AM) Kenny has always liked him, and as we have seen before, Kenny seems to have a fixation with landing guys he likes eventually. That said, I too think this this only happens if we move Hudson. We might get him regardless if we land a big bat. This could be plan B if Hudson bombs tomorrow.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 07:20 AM) I know you weren't around (hell I was still very young), but that was a big deal at the time - East Germany and other eastern block countries had pumped their athletes so full of steroids it was hilariously obvious. Cheating at max power. Plus we were in the middle of the cold war so it took on even more importance.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 10:33 PM) 10 in a row and 17 out of 18 at home. Too bad Thornton helped screw up the World Series for us with his poor ASG outing.

Putz and Jenks were awesome.

f*** yeah!!!

I don't understand you guys. Even when, er if he blows this we are still tied for first. We won it all in 2005. Closers aren't perfect.

I hate Ozzie. How can you bring lard ass out there against the heart of the order?

Don't stop now boys.

Time for Ozzie to waste an out on a bunt.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 09:31 PM) So glad he pitched last night, in an 11-0 game, so that he could have this kind of sharpness tonight . . . Another idiotic decision by Ozzie.
