MVP! MVP! MVP!

Raburn with a Pods-like flail at the ball.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:19 PM) 76 pitches through 4 for Gavin. I think he'll probably get through 6. Best case scenario yes. If we need to go to the bullpen for the final 4 I'm not so confident we'll take this one.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:10 PM) My brother was just noticing how stiff his swing is. I know he always had the exaggerated stance, but even earlier this year, it seems like his mechanics are just awful. Agreed. He never looked 'right' this season.

Wasn't Paulie hitting .305 earlier this week? He'll be below .280 before this series is over.

1 pitch 1 out

Gavin at 57 pitches after 3. We'll definitely be seeing our bullpen today.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 03:56 PM) When you walk people and commit errors you really restrict your ability to consistently win. Sprinkle in an inconsistent bullpen and no wonder we've been around .500

Jackson on pace to pitch 12 innings.

Pods easily our MVP of the season so far.

Jesus f***ing Christ how slow can you be.

With a terrible defense like this we have little chance to win it all this year.

way to lay an egg this series

I'd like to see us trade Dotel, Linebrink or Jenks for a package and then turn it around and send it elsewhere, adding a prospect or 2 of our own, to another team for an even better reliever.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 09:08 AM) I didn't watch yesterday's game but it seems you're overreacting to Linebrink. In his last 8 appearances, he's given up 3 runs in 8.1 innings pitched, 2 of those coming in a 12-8 win and the other of course last night. Have you looked at his WHIP in the last month? The guy has trouble getting the opposing team's bottom of the order out. He's been completely ineffective. He comes in to create a mess and leaves for someone else to clean it up.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 08:24 AM) That is kinda scary for the Rangers. Hopefully, the rest of the team is alright. Unless the rest of the team is made up of infants and senior citizens they'll be alright.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 04:05 PM) Per Yahoo, lineup for game 2...good to see D-Wise is getting more playing time because of one catch S-Pod cf Alexei ss Dye rf Thome dh PK 1b Getz 2b beckham 3b Wise cf Castro C

QUOTE (Pumpkin Escobar @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 03:23 PM) Theyre saying he is still like 6 weeks away from pitching - if he does at all this season. Shows how much I pay attention to the NL.

How about resurrecting the Peavy deal? One can dream can't they

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 03:06 PM) The "bad" Contreras is back again. He had a very nice game until Ozzie left him in too long. 8 Ks and no walks. I like it.

What a horrible game.

I hope he blows his arm out.

Holy crap. What are we witnessing?

How about a HBP and a blast here.
