I swear to God Ozzie shows his management style so much better when managing NL games. Why can't we do risky, force the hand s*** when we're in the Cell?

Happy b-day!!! Ted Ivy was white!!

I think we're all incredibly similar right now and just want to see a damn game played.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 11:38 AM) Remember Dye, he was "injury prone". I say shut down Q for the rest of the season and get his foot in the best possible condition it can be for February 2010, whether it be surgery, therapy, ice and heat, new shoes, whatever the hell it takes. Just cause he's had some injuries, you don't give up on his offensive potential. But there really is no need to risk him making it worse this year. Lets face, even if we somehow win the division, we won't go far in the playoffs. Holy s***, I agree with BearSox.

By the time Mauer is 28 (if not sooner) the Twins will have moved him from that position. There's no sense in letting someone with this offensive ability ruin his legs and back squatting for 9 innings a day. On a related note, I remember how many people ripped the Twins for taking the hometown kid and letting Mark Prior slip to 2 over financial reasons. I guess it worked out.

Exactly, give the man surgery and offer a lowball long-term extension and see if he signs this time.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 05:43 AM) Yeah but that must have been luck because he has that devastating twisting his glove move Hahahaha.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. Really, why not just have the surgery right now and get back to swinging sooner, rather than later?

Scotty Pods will score 7 runs this series, and the Sox will sweep.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 16, 2009 -> 01:14 PM) Hopefully TCQ can be back in the next week or so. He won't be back before the All-Star Break if at all.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jun 15, 2009 -> 04:30 PM) so was that the strategy in 2005? You and your 2005!!

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Jun 15, 2009 -> 04:24 PM) Mariotti just ripped Ozzie for this on ATH. He stated Ozzie's act of saying this every year is getting "stale". The host asked him if he was going to say that to Ozzie's face and Mariotti said yes, if Ozzie would come pay him a visit. I hope Ozzie does just that. Yes, that would be much more effective than just gameplanning and shutting the f*** up.

So I got a Palm Pre. It is pretty tight.

The issue here is... we aren't booing Wise per say. He's a fine-enough guy. The issue is you can't boo KW for keeping him on the roster and you can't boo Guillen for keeping him in the lineup. The opportunity does not present itself and I for one don't want to boo them given what they've done. Thus, the only way to relay our feelings about the decision to continually run this dude out there is to boo him. We're booing the idea that is Dewayne Wise, not the person himself.

Good for him. Just wild.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jun 15, 2009 -> 09:58 AM) Who? You opened this thread. You had interest.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jun 15, 2009 -> 09:00 AM) Wise now a -8.8 VORP. Only 6 players worse than him on BP's listing. Kind of funny to see him right there with the likes of Darin Erstad. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/statisti....php?cid=496184 Meanwhile, Delmon Young = fail. It's nice to see the Twinx lose a deal so decidedly.

I will have to watch this. I presume it's On Demand.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jun 15, 2009 -> 09:09 AM) REALLY?! That is pretty unbelievable considering the number of innings thrown in his career. And the fact that with a 3-0 count the hitter has a huge advantage.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 14, 2009 -> 04:16 PM) Why can't he just go away from Chicago for good? Because people talk about him and his articles.

If the Blackhawks could get Dany Heatley, that's the last piece they f***ing need. Holy s***. We've got the spects and picks to deal, no more a need to hoard them.

Pretty odd.

I know some out there might still be bitter over the whole Peavy situation. Well, he's out for the next 3 months, if not longer, his contract escalates, and we SHOULD get to watch Poreda get his first Major League start at some point soon. Sometimes, the best trades are the ones you don't make, and the poor Padres are really screwed given their ace who makes more than they can afford is out until mid-September at best.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 14, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) "to dumb", eh?

When do you see yourself reaching the Majors?
