QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:47 PM) We officially have the best "on paper only" bullpen in the league. These guys constantly put the team in danger of losing late. Even Hawk is backing off a bit on the bullpen praise.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:44 PM) This post does nothing but anger me. Because of the poor grammar?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 06:27 PM) well that game was over fast see A's/Twins game 07/20/09

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:44 PM) I can. It's more about Ari. Imagine one of your best friends, who you took from the gutter, gave him the lifestyle that he could only dream of by giving him a second chance on life, and you find out he's jeopardizing everything. Do you keep the guy because he makes you money, or do you fire the guy because he is morally wrong? It would be a great thing for Ari to deal with. How do you fire one of your best friends? What are you a writer for the show or something?

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:20 PM) They introduced him last season. And it's pretty nice to see an agent different than Ari who's going to have problems like cheating on his wife. Meh. I couldn't imagine the target audience of this show getting too excited about the story arc involving this guy.

Poreda sent down. Torres on his way. Per Mark Gonzalez.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:28 PM) whats the weather for game time? no rain hopefully? Forecast looks good. Should be no issues.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:26 PM) actually somewhere in Chi-town now. Milkman came back to the fold Then I better watch out walking in dark alleys. He may decide to pounce on me with a poorly fashioned cane.

Somewhere in the North East milkman is punching a wall... Yeah Yeah Yeahs replace Beastie Boys at Lolla

Weeds has been pretty solid so far this season. Entourage...meh. Why did they have to introduce this new guy at the agency? Who cares about him.

Why the f*** does Scott Linebrink pitch in every goddamn f***ing game!?!?!?!??! He f***ing sucks

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 03:56 PM) Wise over BA is the stupidiest decision in the KW era and total BS! It is like KW is telling fans FU! Totally. It would be similar to sending Pujols down for Timo Perez.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 03:48 PM) Totally agreed, it f***ing disgusts me... but there's nothing we can do about it. Sure there is. We can continue to b**** and whine about the same thing over and over and over and over again until we're blue in the face.

Great. Another Wise thread. This isn't getting old.

I'd be ok to use Dotel or Liney in a package but not both. Our bullpen isn't as good as Hawk would make you believe. It'd be a ton worse if we lost both those guys.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 02:58 PM) On a brighter note... TCQ IS BACK!!! There's one!

I look forward to reading this thread after 2 hours. It will probably have 45 pages of Wise bashing with 3 or 4 comments mentioning the return of Quentin.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 02:51 PM) To pinch hit for whom? Great, so we keep a sub .200 hitting crappy fielder around to possibly pinch hit for Nix or Fields on the rare occasions that they're playing? At this point with Q back how often were you expecting Wise/BA to be getting ABs where it ultimately mattered in the grand scheme of things?

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 02:49 PM) Who cares about Anderson's hitting? Wise can't hit either and has actually hit worse than Anderson. The question is defense. They both suck at hitting, and I wouldn't want either one coming in to pinch hit for anyone except maybe each other. But who would yo rather see coming in as a defensive replacement for Q every night, Anderson or Wise? Couple of other factors to consider are stealing a base and bunting. I know Wise is better at stealing but they both pretty much sucked at bunting.

So now that we have replaced a pile of crap in the batting order with TCQ, how devastating will this offense be going forward?

Now that this move has been made I'm still shocked that with this payroll the best we can do at 4th OF is Wise or BA. There has to be something better out there in the scrap heap.

Well at least we won't see much of Wise anyway with Pods taking over in CF.

So good news and mediocre news. Wise should have been sent packing.

Damn. You guys need to start using spoiler tags.

LOL. Like Kenny is going to call Buster Olney and tell him exactly what he's offering to a team.
