Meche was atrocious tonight and we could only manage 4 runs? Should have easily gotten 6 or 7 off him. *shakes head*

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 09:07 PM) Id rather have a guy like Freddy who has pitched in big games and come through, than a completely unproven rookie making his first career mlb starts in a stretch run. When? 3 years ago?

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 08:58 PM) If his velocity is good and his offspeed was offspeed enough, there may be something there for a 5th starter. You're not going to get quality starts every time out. Sorry, it just doesn't happen. I'd probably give him another shot. If he looked this bad against a team 30 games under .500 then I doubt he'll look much better in this stretch of games against the best teams in the league.

Detroit wins.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 08:57 PM) Just got home. How did Garcia look? Not good.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 08:55 PM) MLB.com says his fastball sat 87-90, with one at 91. So his velocity isn't that bad, and his changeup was 80 mph, so that's a pretty good separation from his fastball. I'm not totally ready to abandon Garcia, but I also wouldn't mind seeing Hudson. Don't trust game day. All you had to do was watch him pitch to know he was not very good.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 08:50 PM) 41 doubles for Butler now on the year. 37 of them against the Sox.

Best news I've heard all day.

Who likes making custom sigs? I'd like one created.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) Nah, it’s from his various posing positions while Ozzie was painting him in the clubhouse. “Ah, yes. Dewayne, this is a good one. Yes, this is how we do it in Venezuela. Hold that pose.” Thanks for the visual.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) They were even contemplating letting him hit off the tee during the in-game "Fundamentals HR Challenge". They're just worried he'll strike out.

QUOTE (hogan873 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 03:37 PM) Pods Beckham Konerko Rios Thome TCQ Dye AJ Getz/Lexi Konerko 3rd? That's a lot of pop ups down the stretch with men on base.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 03:36 PM) Strained shoulder. From leaning on the Gatorade tub on the bench.

i'm going to throw up.

Wise to the DL for Garcia.

Wise to the DL to make room for Garcia.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 03:27 PM) Comcast will be showing Peavy pitching live tonight with cut ins starting at 6pm.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 03:25 PM) I hope he does better than my prediction: 4 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 8 hits, 6 BB's, 2 K's, ND Unfortunately that sounds about right. I think we'll win in a slugfest.

I don't think this will be a hot seller if the packaging includes this picture... LINK

Chill out guys.

Zelig to the rescue!

Vasectomy is what you'll need before you fix that.

That's just disgusting. Truce?

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 03:07 PM) Did they already send Lillibridge down? Or is he still with the team? They're letting him run the bases before they send him down. He's waiting for his parents to show up.
