max power

At least toews is still on the bench.

Most hits wins right?

This is not good. The hawks are losing the battle of hits 2:1.

Boston looks like s*** but its only a 1 goal lead.

I was watching it on fox for the first 15 minutes and then it stopped working. I have no idea what is going on. The hawks game is on now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 07:25 PM) There's been almost nothing this year that should make anyone think this team has any freaking chance to get back into contention. I was excited when the team fought back to get to .500 on that run. Then they lost I don't know how many in a row and I gave up.

Did anyone else just hear rongey? Someone (probably someone who posts here) called and started getting all negative about everything including pitching. The caller kept interrupting rongey. Rongey hung up on him or "put him on hold" then gave him a good talking to. When he was done he was trying to read his next on the score line, but instead said 'I don't care who is next I am out of here. I won't be here tomorrow or sunday.' I thought it was pretty funny.

I don't enjoy watching this team anymore. Does anyone here make it a point to see them play at this point? They are vile.

Wade and bosch have the strangest looking heads.

Man, I would love to play poker with some people here. They must fold on every hand.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 26, 2013 -> 12:05 PM) Going for it how? The current roster is not Championship Worthy. The offense and bullpen depth are not good. So either you have to have money for free agents or money to take on from trades (which we don't) or have prospects to bring up to trade for ML-ready talent (which we don't). We are the epitome of stuck between a rock and a hard place. The rotation no doubt is Championship worthy, ditto for the backend of the bullpen (Reed-Crain), but everything else brings the team down. Even if I agreed with this - wouldnt a re-tooling type off season make more sense then?

I guess what I am saying is that I bet someone in the sox organization thought that at one time, our catchers had all of those skills to a passable extent as well. Or equally determined self-important ones.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 25, 2013 -> 08:35 PM) Matheny lists 16 characteristics that a Cardinals catcher must have. They range from a "high baseball IQ" and "good communicator," to "exceptional flexibility in the lower ½ muscles" and "capable of taking blame even when it is unjustified." How many of these do Flowers and Gimenez have? Maybe 16 if you combine them with all of our minor league catchers... They are all subjective.

I feel like such a n00b.

Though I've been here for years, it still amazes me when people are b****ing after a win, during a good, winning stretch of baseball.

Part of me is really wishing for another blown double play call here.

lol. greene almost face planted.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2013 -> 10:14 PM) He missed a call that wasn't even a tie at first. No excuse, he sucks at his job. Yeah, but this happens from time to time even with good umps.

It was a very close play. A blown call yes. But no cause to freak out.

lol @ hawk

QUOTE (Brian @ May 19, 2013 -> 08:09 AM) Aggravated my back two weeks ago and haven't been able to play yet this year. Its killing me because I couldn't play at all last year. Want to go to the driving range this week but its suppose to rain all week. Me too. I have an old injury from a pinched nerve that I got while being kicked in the back by someone wearing boots. Today is the first day off I have had since I hurt it so I hope it heals up.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 18, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) Not at all...95 pitches, 51 strikes. 4 walks in 4.2 innings. So who will likely start instead? Santiago?

So I listened to the whole thing on the radio. Never heard what happened to dunn.

Did things go well for danks tonight?
