WTF? I just tuned in, now this Bizarro White Sox team pwns Johana Santana. ...

The Brewers may just finish 5 games out at this point.

... and the Cubs should be taking the lead any second now.

I can't believe the city of Milwaukee has yet to start a lynch mob against Ned Yost. This inning is emblamtic of why he sucks as a manager.

Linebrink blows. But at least now KW will not overpay for him as much.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 09:08 PM) Griffey Jr. is killing the reds tonight. It is all part of KW's plan to acquire Grif cheaply as his "big splash" this offseason.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 09:04 PM) I hate both franchises, but watching the Yankees sneak up on the Sawks is quite amusing. 1st place for the majority of the 150 games and than the last week they lose it. I almost have to pull for the Bronx. Strangely, I agree with you there. The Red Sox have been hot and cold this year as often as a woman in menopause.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 09:00 PM) He's not playing today but Josh Hamilton is an excellent hitter. So that's 4 very good to great hitters along with Encarnacion who is league average and a couple of other young players who are playing over their heads. Doesn't sound too bad to me, especially in the NL. True. I forgot about Hamilton since he is not playing. I bet the Cubs would love to have him back and starting in RF.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 08:56 PM) Their pitching staff has a lot more to do with their failure than their lineup. The top of their lineup is actually pretty stacked. ..But once you get past Griffey, Phillips, and Dunn, it looks a lot like the current White Sox line up in terms of suckage.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 08:53 PM) I can't believe Yost is going to leave Bush in for the 7th inning. He's blown numerous games this year in this same situation. You got Linebrink for a reason! Fathom, I thought we established this. Yost handles the pitching staff poorly. My latest theory is that he does what the magic 8-ball tells him to do.

Just looking at that Reds line up, it is not hard to figure out why that teams sucks ass.

When it is time to bash Jesse Jackson ..., these are the times I really miss having Nuke around. I can honestly say this world will be a better place when Jesse Jackson is dead and takes his slide of hand racism with him. Jesse claimed to hold the dying MLK Jr. in his arms at one point in his political career (a lie). Even if it were true, is this what Dr. King wanted? A powerful black voice to be fighting for the rights of obvious criminals? In the case of Decatur, one of those boys was an 18 year old freshman. Jesse went around saying "these boys have a right to their education." Maybe the 18 year old should have got something from his freshman year the first three times around. And now this episode with similarities. This certainly fits the standards of a hate crime, and hear comes Jesse for save the kids from being convicted of a lynching. I imagine these kids are far from honor students too. It is a good think that Jesse is protecting the criminals and not the actual victims of discrimination

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 07:34 PM) Just fire Ned Yost now and take Brewers fans out of their misery. Sheets looked just awful last Friday, so he brings him back on 3 days rest. One inning into tonight's game, and he got pulled already. Somebody here recently was very accurate when they compared Sheets to Mark Prior.

Drugs are bad ... Mmmkay.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 15, 2007 -> 09:19 PM) The Cardinals have left a man on 3rd base now in 5 of the 6 innings. I wonder which Cubs player will hit the go-ahead homer tonight? Probably one of the seven 115 lb secondbaseman they have.

Hmmm ...Step 1) Convince terrorist that Cubs are all that is wrong with America. Step 2) Tell terrorists that Wrigely Field is their home base. Step 3) Hope terrorists put 1 and 2 together and destroy both.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 12, 2007 -> 04:21 PM) Bill Hall (CF, former SS): 2008 - 4.8M 2009 - 6.8M 2010 - 8.4M 2011 - 9.25M Options (500K buyout) He is also a SS who posted an 800+ OPS in 2 straight seasons entering this year (he has struggled this season). The average salary for the 3 seasons he is guaranteed is about 6.6M per year. I don't know what his injuries were this season (I think it was an ankle) but if the Sox feel he could be healthy he'd be a pretty good addition who'd definitely add some pop to the lineup (decent speed, ie faster than Uribe, but not a great base stealer). If the club could get him in a deal involving Contreras I'd definitely listen (or if by taking on the contract they could get him for someone like Sweeney or Anderson plus Broadway again I'd listen). Thoughts like these made me vote other. I might do Garland for Hall and somebody else. The Brewers are loaded in the OF and will need pitching after watching the Cubs win the Central. Hall's best years are at SS.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 07:54 PM) Oh they'll win it easily, and get to face a DBacks team without Orlando Hudson and with Brandon Webb back to being mortal. I really hope the Phillies win the wild card, and that would make the Cubs face the Mets in the first round. Phuck the Phillies ...that should guarantee them the Wild Card.

Why is it every team I like turns to s*** the minute I pay attention to them this year. Unless terrorists kidnap the entire team, there is no way the Cubs do not win the Central.

God I hate the Brewers.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 10, 2007 -> 07:19 PM) Looks like the Brewers offense decided to take the night off against Armas. Also, it's interesting to see Yost leave Villanueva in for nearly 80 pitches when he's been out of the bullpen all season. Unfortunately, looks like we're back to a tie after tonight. ... And wasn't Armas the guy that couldn't find a team to start the season and he is now handcuffing the "explosive" Brewers offense?

Milwaukee is off to their personal house of horrors PNC Park, so this lead should be short lived.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 06:36 PM) Zambrano is the captain, but Estrada is the starting catcher. Bush is #5 in the rotation. Hmmm ... I like this all hate team. Can we get Ozzie to manage or are we stuck with Yost?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 06:33 PM) David Bush is on my all-hated team. Where does he rank in repsect to Estrada?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 06:24 PM) I forgot just how bad the Brewers are on the road. Perhaps they should start carrying little pictures of Miller Park in their pocket to remind them of home.
