QUOTE (captain54 @ Jul 11, 2016 -> 12:57 AM) Please show me where I said that the Minny game that I was at, and the crappy performance by Jennings, was how the whole season for the pen has been…. I see what you've done though.. very skillful. you've taken something I've said and twisted it a bit, taken a kernel of it and molded it into an aberration of what I actually said..you then prop it up and display AS IF .. it's in fact.. my opinion. And what i actually said though about the game I was at..., was the crowd booed when Jennings was lifted…and that's about it.. oh, and maybe some tongue in cheek comment about how the crowd should have cheered instead of booed….but if you were at the game, you would have sensed the fans expressing their general frustration .. like "HERE WE GO AGAIN" I'm perfectly willing to engage in an intelligent debate with you…you don't get personal, and I appreciate that.. but don't start making crap up.. It's annoying as hell…You're better than that, boss…. You let me know when you are willing to do that on your side. I am just following your tone, as you were the one who jumped into the middle of this discussion with insults and non-sequiturs from a previous conversation. If you want to actually look at the numbers, go ahead and go back and do so. I gave you plenty of them. Even more than just Matt Albers.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) http://mlb.mlb.com/kc/download/announcemen...oyals012406.pdf There's the Royals' lease agreement (revisited in 2006). http://www.810whb.com/common/more.php?m=49&post_id=1001 It wasn't good for the taxpayers, but isn't nearly as onerous as the USCF one in terms of parking revenue and the attendance guarantees...and a lot of the money was used for improvements in what is now one of the older stadiums in baseball (early 1970's). So the Royals basically pocket all of their stadium money. The tax fund that funds USCF at least has to go to improvements towards the stadium. That is what funded the new scoreboards, and and the renovations.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 09:01 PM) The Sox are silly for waiting 3 more weeks to make any moves for a pen arm and bat. They should get a bat during the all star break. Yes Morneau is going to be ready but that's not enough. What offers are out there that they are missing out on?

I move that anyone who thinks the banner should be changed, should actually take the time to design a new banner first.

Tim Anderson!

JJ Stankevitz ‏@JJStankevitz 12m12 minutes ago AJ Pierzynski's OPS (.483) is lower than Tim Anderson's slugging percentage (.492).

Shields has pitched a great game, even including the two solo shots. He is only in the mid 80's for a pitch count through 7, even including the error and the misplay by Abreu that inning.

Looked safe in real time

Nice work by Shields to get out of that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 02:25 PM) Has been all weekend Eh. The offense has been solid through the first two games. Today, not so much.

I think this whole team is mentally on the plane ride home.

Nice to see Lawrie make up for the boot on the next pitch.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 01:40 PM) Oh man, Tony Budvitas as a special guest?! Man, so glad I get to listen in to this guy and Jason the Nerd rather than focus on some stupid baseball game. Yes. It is only with Benetti that the Sox have guests in the booth. Is this the first game you have watched on TV?

QUOTE (captain54 @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 01:37 PM) You were caught in an inconsistency and it bothers you. That's understandable lol, only in your head. On the bright side, you were perfectly consistent. You focused on the worst possible scenario and tried to sell it as the big picture. Again. But please tell me about the game you were at that you saw someone pitch badly, so that is how the whole season has been.

It has been a Buehrle-esque first two innings.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 01:29 PM) While I've enjoyed watching them struggle, I still see no reason to bet against them as divisional champs at the least. Realistically it would take an epic 1969 style collapse for them not to win the division.

Dang, that was a nice catch going into the stands.

QUOTE (captain54 @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 01:27 PM) No you don't. But keep trying to convince yourself that you do You must have been a big hit on vaudeville cause your tap dancing skills are par excellence I'm saying the BP numbers are off because of out of the ordinary positive numbers. You are saying Robertsons numbers are off because of out of the ordinary negative numbers. Somehow you are right and I'm wrong. Whatever I prefer the big picture. You prefer the worst case scenario. It isn't that hard to see. The only tap dancing is you trying to turn something completely unrelated into the same argument from the other day in attempt to rehash it for some unknown reason.

I love that Sox fans are giving some love to AJ. He probably doesn't know how to handle it.

Bah.

8 pitches and 4 outs for Shields.

Stayed back nicely on the 0-2 curveball

7 pitch first inning for Shields, very nice.
