QUOTE (DanksFan @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 01:35 PM) Whatever, the ump has been jobbing him all day. LOL. It's the top of the 2nd.

Might as well steal 3rd too.

To be fair he is a dangerous #9 hitter.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 11:29 AM) I wasn't on this board for the Vazquez trade, what was the reaction like? Several people developed explosive diarrhea.

My only concern is seeing 2 or 3 errors every other game in the box score. Hopefully the defense begins to somewhat gel in the last 2 months.

Not sure if this deserved its own thread so I dumped it in here. LINK

Beckham is the change we've been waiting for. Yes we can!

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 11:07 AM) Sqwert, it seems like nobody has used them. f*** 'em. They don't even like hot dogs.

Happy birthday yo

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 11:13 AM) First off, that is hilarious. Second, I was at that game, too. It was great. Hey I was there too.

pods8, beckham5, jd9, thome dh, pk 3, kotsay 7, nix 6, getz 4, castro 2. Danks pitching.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 10:04 AM) that's a bit of a stretch imo. yeah

The problem with Anaheim is that their Sunday lineup is still better than most team's starting 9. Is there anyone on that team hitting under .290?

Terrorists are going to be around indefinitely. If we "solve" Afghanistan they'll take root elsewhere. We simply can't invade every 3rd world country when we find out that terrorist cells are within their borders.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 09:44 AM) about 3000 American's died on American soil because we ignored the mess there for so long. Not having thousands of American's die in the future to me is the very definition of "something to gain". Again. Read the article.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 09:38 AM) See Cleveland and Minnesota Thursday afternoon home affairs. Refresh my memory.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 09:36 AM) I alternate between thinking the whole thing is a waste of time and thinking it's just a big s*** sandwich we have to chew and swallow. Countless empires have failed there in the past. This won't be any different.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 09:29 AM) Santana has given up 5 runs or more in 8 of his 12 starts this year, including his 1 IP, 7 ER gem against us earlier this year. Lets get to him early, give Danks a nice lead and cruise to the sweep!!! Everything is pointing to a win which means we'll probably lose.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 09:17 AM) Unanswered? After 9-11? Read the whole article. IMO there is nothing to gain by staying there but everyone knows I'm the hippie weirdo pacifist.

Bring back Veeck!

Has anyone used this moving storage service provider? Thoughts?

ESPN.com lists Torres as the starter on Saturday. We need a catch all for little tidbits like this.

The one down side of having the worst record for division leaders is losing home field advantage in round one. It'll be tough going to Anaheim or NY/Boston for the 1st 2 games in a short series.
