Someone posted awful paintings of Obama a while back. Check these out.

This team is the AL Brewers.

We're a .500 team at the end of July. We have no chance at winning the Word Series which should be our goal. Build for next year.

I hate this team right now.

Nice 1-6 road trip against the 2 teams we're battling for the division.

With the offensive fire power we have would it be too much to ask for a blowout every 9 games or so? Why must we go through these long stretches looking so bad against mediocre pitching?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 08:28 PM) Mackowiak gets a bad rap, he shouldn't be compared with Erstad. Mackowiak could play, he just couldn't field worth a s***. He was fine defensively but for some reason Ozzie thought he could be a CF which he obviously couldn't. He could play corner OF/IF.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 05:40 PM) Bruce Levine thinks that Thome could miss the wknd series against the Yanks. Sigh. Why do people want him resigned next year?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 04:37 PM) Not to mention Pods dodging balls in left field. How was that not an error last night? I think the rule is that you have to touch the ball in order for there to be an error called.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 03:33 PM) Beckham playing in the two hole tonight! Ozzie...you big racist

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 04:34 PM) What is the over/under on how many errors we have tonight. I'm so Soxually frustrated. Over/under is typically 2.5 but it gets bumped to 3 when playing at the dome.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 04:27 PM) I watched half of it last night. It's pretty powerful, and terrifying at the same time. I turned away a couple of time because I didn't want to see what they were showing. But I've had beef, and chicken since watching it so it didn't sway me that much. I'll watch the 2nd half when I get around to it. I've had friends and family members with similar responses and they haven't changed any of their dietary choices. I've also known people who've decided to cut out meat entirely. If anything I'd like more people to see the film so that they can at least get a better appreciation of where I, and others, are coming from with the choices we've made.

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 04:23 PM) Duensing is hot garbage and watch him mystify us Baker and Perkins looked like world beaters so I can only imagine what he'll do tonight.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 04:17 PM) The Phillies got robbed blind on this one. Ultimately, I’d say it adds about to 2-4 wins this year in a division they were almost assured to win without making a move. The move was to increase their chances in the post season.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 04:16 PM) Shambles may be a bit strong, no? This team was 6 or 7 our and 6 or 7 under in early June, and raced back to tie for 1st, now fell back 2 games with some recent suckage in the past week. Let's not assume we're tanking quite that quick. Sorry for the ambiguity. I was referring to the Twins being in shambles.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 04:13 PM) In case you missed it, Liriano is officially scrated and Duensing is starting in his place. And watch we'll still lose. Their team is in shambles and we look like we have no chance against them. So frustrating.

Kotsay against the Twins from 2006-2008 (only 40 ABs): .175 .233 .325 .558 And how does he already have a Sox hat in the photo while Castro is still sporting a Mets cap?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 03:42 PM) But I'd flip TCQ and Ramirez. Not when Q is doing his best Wise impression.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 01:29 PM) Matt Thornton back in Minny per InsideTheSox

Can someone fill us in on what to expect from him if he gets any playing time? I'll admit I'm one of those that doesn't follow the minors as closely as I should.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 01:10 PM) I laughed when they brought in Joe Nathan. I was like, is this really necessary? It's like driving to your neighbor's house. And yet if the roles were reversed and we brought in Jenks to face Casilla for the last out he'd probably get a base hit.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 12:58 PM) I really don't know why though, once you learn how the Metric system actually works, the English system actually seems kind of stupid. kind of?

Right now the Phillies have to be favorites to win it all.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 12:46 PM) This is a hysterical stream-of-consciousness rant. Palinesque but actually coherent.

QUOTE (bulokis @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 12:42 PM) http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/9866900...ndians'-Lee Cliff Lee and Ben Francisco for 4 of Phillies' top ten Prospect. It looks like a good haul for the indians. A GM somewhere in Canada just peed down his leg.
