Its crazy, we are just over 2/3s of the way through the season and 16 games over. If you extrapolate that out, we are on a 93-69 pace. I would have never thought we would have that kind of season, even at this point.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 11:13 PM) Threets hit 103 when he was with the SF organization. Legitimately, or BS?

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 11:03 PM) Great line for Phegley, and Saladino continues to impress. Saladino has really killed the ball in low-A. Definitely a good thing to see. Edit: Also, Infante hit 103?? JPN, how accurate is the gun down in Bham? 103? WTF?!?!?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 04:45 PM) One thing that I have NEVER understood is why a technical school education is not given more consideration and value in our society. This country has always looked down at people who work for a living. I am guessing because they have usually been immigrants, and the one great American tradition is looking down at the newest arrivals here.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) And it hasn't exactly been known for creating a generation of well adjusted, mature, intelligent players, has it? It still is an advantage to the kids in the Domincan who get to pick their teams, and pit all of them against each other. It is sure and advantage over having to wait until you are 18 to get paid here, and only getting to talk to the team that drafted you.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) There's always Carl Everett . This also from MLB Trade rumors :Carl Everett is still playing baseball, hitting .276 with seven home runs for the Atlantic League's Newark Bears. Speaking of blasts from the past, I saw Randall Simon playing for the Gary Railcats. Yes I made sure to call him the sausage king.

QUOTE (RudyLawRules @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 11:35 AM) He gone! Ken_Rosenthal: Source: Carlos Delgado agrees to minor-league deal with #RedSox. Must be in majors by Sept. 1 or he can become free agent. Can't blame him, with the Youk injury, he probably sees that as his best shot.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 11:23 AM) I never played games that were long enough that I needed this feature but it was convenient back when I had Madden. Is saving in the middle of games no longer available? Nope, I think it was 2007 NCAA that was the last time that had it.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 11:01 AM) Who does that? It seems to me that most people post pretty regularly. There are a couple of good examples from yesterday...

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 10:28 AM) Bored with the inevitable holier-than-thou posts that always pop uup, and the "how dare you criticize player x what kind of fam are you, they're winning" posts. I get bored with the opposite of finding the negative in everything. Especially the people who never post until the team starts playing badly, even if it is just for a few innings.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 09:18 PM) My wife knows about this site but doesn't care. Although I do say things on here that I would never say to her. lol Let the blackmailing... BEGIN!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 09:23 PM) Yeah, I don't feel good about it at all, but I agree with this. I mean in hindsight, you can make an argument that we could've gotten away with not doing it but Truman didn't really have that luxury. And what we had to go on was how much of a b**** it was to clear meaningless islands in the Pacific. More people died on Iwo Jima than on D-Day. On that island we had to kill, or have commit suicide about 98% of the Japanese troops there. Of 22,000 people, we only had 216 prisoners. Thinking of those kind of numbers and now thinking of the mainland, I can't blame them.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 10:05 PM) Is Tony Pena one very mediocre pitcher? Is he worth the money he gets? That's all I'm asking at this time. Am I the only one who saw him get out of the ninth inning with a runner at third and nobody out?

He is going to have to get his release point up a little higher, but I can see why they like him.

Well that evens up the first base umps blown calls on the night...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 07:52 PM) Thought that was going out, dad gummit AJ....did Harrelson call it a homer? Kotsay with a bad jump, he hesitated, it's not 100% because he's slow, although that's undoubtedly part of the problem, too...should have pinch-run Lillibridge there probably. The Orioles are a different team the least 7-10 days under Showalter. We're not going to storm through them, I wouldn't be surprised if we only won 2/4. I take it you aren't really watching this game?

I quit buying the football games when they quit allowing you to save during a game.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 07:38 PM) How's Tank been at 3rd? Earlier I caught one great play but havent seen the whole game Not bad. His footwork is still scary, but if he gets a glove on it, he has a laser for an arm.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 08:18 AM) You think that signing with an MLB team for a few hundred thousand dollars at age 16 is an advantage? Being able to sign younger sure has been a big deal in the NBA.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 07:15 PM) Beckham totally blew it on that steal attempt but the Orioles didn't get him, that's just a fail. Yeah, there is no excuse for not getting an out there.

Me trying to explain to my four year old the difference between the Gary Railcats and the Chicago White Sox... "the teams the Sox play are the best baseball players in the world, the guys you saw at Gary aren't very good" Madison-"Oh, you mean like the Cubs"

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 06:32 PM) i dont get it why ajp is hitting in front of beckham and viciedo... Because you can't put his slow ass in front of Pierre.

Meh, its not much in terms of money or time. It works.
