QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 07:24 PM) I think the return of Crede would only hurt this team. Healthy? I have to take him over Uribe.

funny how well our pitchers do when they throw strikes and don't walk batters.

anybody think a healthy crede and linebrink will be back this season to give us a boost?

robbed!

PK is so due to bust out.

i watched BA take batting practice after he signed - it was cool to see big Frank giving him some pointers, you could tell he was on cloud 9. I like that tradition.

Looks like we get Gio on Sunday, one of 3 straight lefties.

i can't imagine the frustration of giving up a 10-0 lead in the first inning.

TEX 15 BOS 14 wish we could get someone hot like Byrd is right now

TEX 14 BOS 14

glad javy is getting that lead off man - that usually spells trouble for him.

when are we going to see Getz? I realize Uribe has been carrying this team and all, but it would be nice to see Getz in there.

whoa - i forget that guy has power

can't believe it's ME who's actually typing this, but BA should be starting instead of Griffey. No question.

i hate this "what Javy could be" discussion that goes on during every, single, f'ing, time he pitches.

BOS 12 TEX 10

non sequitor: on this date in 2005: CHI 74-40 CLE 63-53 12.0 MIN 59-56 15.5 DET 53-61 21.0 KC 38-76 36.0

doesn't he lead the league in HBP? that's gotta catch up with you at some point.

glad to see Fred is making it back. Weird that he would go to a team that's going nowhere - you would think he'd want to showcase himself in a pennant race at least, if not in the playoffs.

I thought we would be in total re-building mode by this time.

It's August and we're in the hunt. I love it. Remember what a drag last year was at this time? Funny how Ozzie demeans Boone's manhood when addressing his pitching struggles yet Javier Vasquez seems to be muy mas macho, despite evidence to the contrary.

not a bad split - you know that many of you would've taken that going into Friday night's game. Great job by Danks tonight, he continues to impress. I think Thornton is tired - we miss a healthy Linebrink and a healthy Joe Crede in a big, big way.
