Great road trip for Gavin. CQ too. I cannot imagine where we would be without Quentin and Alexei.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 09:48 PM) I think it is Baker. Won't be easy. True. I'm just thrilled with the one win. Now we stay in first either way, survive KC, then go home and play the Cell like a fiddle.

Gavin has really earned his stripes on this trip. First gutting it out in Detroit, and now a win right when we needed it most. Nice timing, Gav.

Wassermann looked like the Wassermann of '07 tonight. He was the lone bright spot. I've never took much stock in what happened earlier this year. How many innings did he have to compile that 14 ERA? Not too many. Tonight's outing should lower that earnie by a nice bit.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 03:18 PM) Agreed...he just needs one or two good outings. I don't think anything is wrong mechanically...just placement on a few pitches. I also haven't agreed with a few pitches called either...specifically the 0-2 pitch for a hit a few games back. I also think he'd better if they limit him to LOOGY status and quit pretending he can cover the righties on a consistent basis.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 10:23 PM) I'm a Gates man myself.Gates gets it done too, but for convenience sake, if you're over by the Negro League Hall, Bryants can't be beat. I liked the old school atmosphere of their dining room - complete with those retro-style cigarette machines you used to see in bars everywhere.

I've been to both places. Minny in '01, KC at the end of '03 (RIP JM). Minny, you got the Mall of America, which might be of some interest. When I was in KC, on Saturday I did a day trip over to the Negro League Hall of Fame and Jazz Museum, which are both well worth your time. Then afterwards I took a short walk to Arthur Bryants for some serious Kansas City barbeque. Good times.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ May 28, 2007 -> 10:28 AM) FWIW, somebody with a grand total of two posts at WSI posted that he has "reliable" information that Day has been called up. ESPN 1000 is reporting it is Day.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Apr 28, 2007 -> 04:05 PM) I wonder if it has anything to do with Easy E...Chuck D more likely.

Radio pregame reporting that Alex had to leave to go back to PR for a few days due to his grandfather having suffered a stroke. Andy Gonzalez is up for a few days while Cintron tends to family business. Reports are that Alex's grandfather basically raised him so he's closer than the standard grandfather/grandson relationship. Best to #8!

QUOTE(Drew @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 01:07 AM) NL years always piss me off because David Ortiz plays at first for the American League, making it one of the 16 games a year he plays in the field.Everything NL pisses me off.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 10:22 AM) There really is no such thing as the Sunday line-up anymore. Our bench players are much better than those that formed the old "Sunday line-up". Word. Also helps that Manuel is in Queens these days.

QUOTE(Heartattack19 @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 09:06 AM) My dad and i were in the Left Field Blechers. I thought it was going to be a long day when Wendall McGee hit a homer for the tigers. I remeber Tanyon Sturtze threw the second beanball and the hit battsman did not charge (maybe Dean Palmer?) but it was someone from the dugout! I carry the ticket stubb with me all the time and have met three or four other people who also were at that game. It is in the top three games i have ever been to! A buddy of mine from work was there too. This is one of the top five games of all-time that I wish I was at but wasn't (that list just got a new #1 this past week).

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 02:22 PM) http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...sp&c_id=cws Great news... I can't stand Gustavo anymore. Hopefully Hall will be back sometime in May if he continues to do well. And this is really starting to sound like a thing he has always had, and that the injury he had just aggravated it, and when he got the MRI they noticed the tear. It's definitely true that there are different scales of tears when you're talking about ligaments and tendons and such and it depends on how bad the pain is and what you can handle. I believe Pedro had a partial tear of something in the shoulder or elbow the past couple of seasons and pitched through it until he couldn't deal with it anymore.
