QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 11:58 AM) what does BA have to do to get 1 start... Anderson has been getting a lot of time coming off of the bench in blow outs. I have no problem with Wise getting in there.

Last minute line up change, Thome is out Griff to DH Swish to RF Wise in at CF No word on why Thome is out.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 03:50 PM) Mark pitched pretty bad last night and we still won. Keep the faith. Throw out the stupid play in the 1st inning that Mark had no control over, and his numbers look a whole lot better.

Get well soon

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 03:01 PM) Face value? Where do I sign up? ^^^

After watching the Richard start last night, he definately has a higher ceiling than Broadway. Broadway seems to be a better "pitcher" at this point, but Richard has the ability to miss bats. It will be interesting to see their progress. Clayton has to work on his consistancy if he wants to stay a starter, but he could be a nasty set up guy with his arm slot, his delivery, and his variation of pitches. Broadway looks like he could be a pitch to contact Paul Byrd type of pitcher at the high end.

QUOTE (TLAK @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 07:13 AM) Just looked at gameday and you're right, he got several pitches up there. I'm surpised, watching him live without seeing the gun, even his best ones didn't look that hard, very deceptive. Very effective. Between the delivery and the fact he can drop the fastball down to the 87-88 range without a change in his delivery, its has to be tough to expect him to get it up there pushing 95mph. If I hadn't have seen the velocity numbers on TV, I wouldn't have believed it either.

If you think about it, whatelse is Ozzie going to say? He HAS to show faith in Uribe, because he is the guy who is HERE and who has been doing a damned good job playing 3B in Crede's extended absence. He doesn't even know if he is going to be getting back Crede, let alone THE Joe Crede. Uribe has to be his man right now for the rest of the season, unless Joe proves otherwise.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 08:11 PM) Did you all see where all the blather about anyone besides Clinton is all a smokescreen to get Clinton on the ticket? Since 25% of Clinton supporters are all pissed off and that's the only way to unify the party is to have her on the ticket, it's all hush hush until Thursday night - SPRINGGGGGG! Clinton it is! This is also supported by the notion that Obama has lost the backing of some Democrats according to national polls. I guess this was floated by Ralph Nader. BRING IT ON! Seriously, I hope that's not true. The sound you heard would be that of the Democrats self-distructing. Its been interesting to watch exactly how helpless Obama's camp has been in dealing with a defeated Clinton camp. He whipped her, and he STILL can't put her to rest. She is still holding influence over every step of the process, including forcing her way into the convention and being put on the ballot there. It is amazing. I wonder what the backroom dynamic is that won't allow them to get rid of the Clintons?

So they re-ran the roast last night, and it really wasn't nearly as good as years past. Cloris Leachman was BY FAR the funniest person on there. There were some funny moments, but not nearly as good as some of the past ones. Mostly they just didn't have very good roasters. It was the lamest collection yet. Go back and look who has been there in the past, its not even close. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_Central_Roast

QUOTE (TLAK @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 09:24 PM) Just in from the game. I can't put my finger on who Richard reminds me of. He's got more stuff than Hibbard, less than Bahnsen...Lots of heart and a triple A fast ball....Sirotka? After the goof on Icharo in the first I thought we were in for a long night. But the kid pitched better than I ever supposed he would. One night doesn't make a career but he showed me somthin tonight. How many guys in AAA have a fastball that hits 94-95? I think that was the most impressive thing the kid has, is the ability to add and subtract from his pitches already. We need to get him sitting next to Mark Buehrle on a regular basis to teach him about controling nerves and emotions during a game, but other than that, this kid has some moxie. He doesn't really seem afraid out there.

Great game. If you would have told me the final would be 5-0 tonight, I would have said at least Richard didn't do too bad...

Richard was great tonight. You couldn't have asked for anything more from him. Everytime he got into a jam, he had the pitch to get out of it. His first couple of starts he had great innings, he just fell apart at the end. He looks like he is gaining confidence.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 11:29 AM) IN THE MINORS. You have to put that caveat in when you make statements like that. In their very short MLB careers, Broadway has been the better starter. The two of them have 5 starts between them at the major league level. Their stats are pretty close to worthless at this point of their major league careers because of the sample size.
