The YES network realizes that Don Cooper isn't actually a god.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 10:24 PM) Um, no. Cabrera has a damn good arm out there. I wasn't being serious. It's impossible to tell from one play who is a better fielder in any situation. QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 10:24 PM) I believe Hawk did say "And the ball gets by Damon!" in defense of Tito. ah, I'm stuck with the YES network

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 10:23 PM) ANOTHER ERROR! SUCK IT DAMON! SUCK IT! Damon doing his Podsednik impression psst, Damon is a CFer

Pods > Melky

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 10:01 PM) HE WAS EXTREMELY DEEP THERE! He plays everyone about 15 feet from the warning track. There's a difference between being deep and too deep. He was playing Cano fine, shading over to right, he just took a horrible line when trying to run it down.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 09:59 PM) Get this pathetic player off the field! That should have been a routine pop up, but he's playing a lefty on the warning track. No, no he wasn't. He took a bad line when running it down, but he wasn't on the warning track, nor was he playing too deep.

Lovely strike zone tonight...

bah, the weather that hit NY is apparently hitting me now. Stupid rain.

Reasons why Uribe > Cintron

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) On CSN, it was know your opponent, Sox v Cubs. Some good stuff. bah.. stupid YES network

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) These players interviews are hilarious. What player interviews?

QUOTE(SadChiSoxFanOptimist @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) In this article, Joe Sheehan of BP says the game was lost in the 7th by poor approaches at the plate by AJ, Cintron and BA, against Villone who was on the rocks. Is this a surprise? I thought it was pretty obvious, and I know AJ was swinging for the fences.

QUOTE(Winning Ugly @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 03:50 PM) Thome hasn't been clutch for us at all this season. in fact, I don't think he has many RBIs this year that occurred after the 6th inning. After the 6th inning doesn't mean clutch, and Thome has had a good handful of game influencing homeruns this year (let alone RBI's).

It's nice to come home and see I've missed nothing at all

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 03:40 PM) I thought I read that it was Freddy. If it were Freddy, the deal likely would have been done. Everything I read (as far as I can remember) said it was Mark though.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 03:37 PM) should've pulled the trigger on a deal for Crisp. Too bad there aren't any options down in the minors, someone who could spark this club. You mean the deal that would have sent Mark Buehrle to Boston? Surely you jest.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 02:07 PM) If Derek Jeter made that diving catch into the stands like Uribe did, there would have been a Gatorade commercial revolving around the play already. Incredibly true. QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) I was talking about the same thing with my brother last night, it's bulls***. Uribe's stands catch>>>>Jeter's. Not only was it in WAY more important situation, but IMO it was tougher, period. Yet it's Derek Jeter so everything he does is blown way the f*** out of proportion.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 01:37 PM) Look at those Carolina Knights (AL East)! Not bad for a second year expansion team, eh? DPBL Not bad

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 01:25 PM) well, in the league that i am in, 32 = shyt In one of the leagues I'm in, Roy Oswalt is 36 and coming off of 3 consecutive Cy Youngs

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 01:01 PM) no. because in ootp, age 32 is the dead zone unless you're todd helton. Depends on the league settings. Some leagues have players age quicker, some have it slower.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 12:51 PM) He rescinded the demand though. After another season of turmoil and losing, he won't be as willing to play for the Orioles again. Technically, I think he denied that he ever made the demand. I can't completely remember though

Iguchi's play was good, but unnecessary. He could have fallen down, gotten up, tied his shoe, and still thrown out Molina at first.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 12:40 PM) So there is basically no chance then? Even if we unload Freddy? In my opinion, nope. The Angels are reportedly interested, and I could both New York teams getting in a bidding war for him. And all of this is uncertain anyway, since he didn't defect, and doesn't plan to, according to this.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 12:41 PM) After Tejada's little tirade yesterday, it just increases the chances of him getting traded this offseason. I'd love to see us get into the bidding for him with a package of Garcia, Fields, etc. The recently signed Mora to an extension at third, so I don't know how interested they'd be in Fields (unless they plan on moving him elsewhere), and if they didn't accept Roy Oswalt for Tejada, I doubt they'd want Garcia

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 10:40 AM) I really wish we could get Freel. He would be a perfect fit. Yep, he and Bobby could go out together drinking after every game
