Al Lopez's Ghost

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 08:20 PM) If he goes to Detroit, this would be the 3rd Cubs transaction in 5 months that "happened", but then actually didn't. It's gotten to the point that if the Cubs announced that Ernie Banks had died, I'd say, give it a couple of days.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 04:59 PM) Youk signing with Yankees. 1 year for $12 million. Per Rosenthal. I can't wait until they visit Fenway.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 07:09 AM) Probably just the Sox putting things out there as a favor to AJ's leverage w/ other teams also, jesus christ, is kate upton in about 90% of the conditionals these days? Around here, if it's not one Upton, it's the other.

Well, that would continue our tradition of acquiring Indians about five years too late.

QUOTE (forrestg @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 12:32 AM) Contreras el duke he can't be over 60 he'd get it done You know that's two guys, right?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 2, 2012 -> 10:29 PM) i will never forget that homerun he gave up to Pujols in the NLCS at Houston to blow the game. That ball still hasnt landed yet I will never forget Pod's walk off, or Dye's single, but that's just me.

Per MLTR. THANKS FOR 2005, Brad.

I believe when it was first unveiled there was an image of Wise leaping on the wall, and after they let Wise go, they changed it to just the two words.

For Jim Tracy's kid. KW JUNIOR

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Nov 1, 2012 -> 08:28 PM) I feel like Dunn is an example of overrated walks actually. You know why? Because his 0-19s with a couple walks and 0 runs scored destroy us. 0-8s and 0-11s all over the place. 0-15 with a run scored and a walk in July against Detroit and Boston. He goes 5-6 games without RBIs that kill us. His game offends me but it is what it is- in no way is it perfect for the 3-hole though; that is as arguable as a topic gets! He drove in Youk 10 times- 3 times each month? He drove in De Aza 22 times which was the most- a whopping 3.6 times per month. Drove himself in 41 times lol. Boom or bust. I'd like to see all the hrs he hit this year: against who and the situation. Other than that 2 hr game at the end of the year, I'd be willing to wager the majority were meaningless and more importantly against bad, mopup-style RH pitchers with no velocity. All a hunch. I hate every second I watch him. I haven't checked, but I recall Harrelson several times saying Dunn was hitting "important" home runs during the first half.

they're saying fatigued right shoulder, needs MRI. See the game thread.

What happened to Scherzer?

With one more hit, Omar Vizquel will tie.... Babe Ruth.

Merkin tweeted that Robin said there's a window for the game to be played. How about a scoreless top of the first, just for the novelty of it.

Duh! Thanks.

Anybody know why Oakland and Tampa Bay have Sunday off? I can't remember a 3 game series ending on a Saturday.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:23 PM) When has ANY team in baseball ever had a protest upheld and the results of a previous game overturned? George Brett's pine tar game comes to mind.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 01:34 PM) No one ever thought of that before? Kevin Hickey was the LH BP pitcher.

Probably a loose belt.

Robin said PK's exam went well, he'll start stationary bike and some other physical activity. Per a tweet from sox van.

I am so sick of Gavin Floyd.

Could mean a twin bill tomorrow.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 12:22 PM) They will have to address the glut of unsold #47 McEwing jersies. Soon to be a collector's item!

ForvEscobar and Hernandez

Jason Marquis has won 3 straight for the Padres. ERA is 3.48. That's gotta appeal to someone looking for a cheap veteran.
