No doubt about that one This team is back to be being lifeless.

That AB by Castro was abysmal

It took me three games to sour on this team until a week ago and now it is goingo to take four to get me back to that point again. This offense with the Dh is just as bad as the cubs. Also why isn't AJ playing?

The Obama thing as big of a joke as it is in the recruiting of Lebron is interesting in that Obama is young and will be out of politics in 6 years max, loves basketball and will be making stops frequently in Chicago and will become a huge Bulls fan with Lebron. Just something to think about if you were Lebron.

"You stick to it, and you don't shy away from your approach. That's what brings successful results."[/i] That is a Hawk Mantra. A bad plan is better than no plan at all.

I look at the schdules and think that the Sox schdule is easier than either the Twins or Tigers. They do not have continuous tough games they seem to be more broken up. I also think Tampa and Toronto will give the Twins fits.

Reds may get him.

I am not real sure how the cap in basketball works but could Toronto say we will take Deng but you need to give us Noah. Thus the Bulls then can sign Lee/Boozer and Bosh

If Deng goes with Noah in a sign and trade with the Raptors, could the Bulls bring in Wade & Boozer?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) Pretty mediocre effort by Viciedo, as he blocked his vision on the dive. He is not an MLB 3B that is obvious.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 08:21 PM) It's not often that nearly 80 games into the season, you can have 4 straight hitters with 3 combined homers. Come on you can't count Dayan and the Royals 9,1,2 have a combined 3.

Off day tomorrow is good as Peavy already at 69 pitches. Going to have to get at least an inning out of Pena and Santos.

Pirates have almost 33% of their wins this season agaisnt he cubs this is Tiger/White Sox material from 2003.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 04:36 PM) So then you're trading Danks, Buehrle or Floyd? If they're looking to compete and believe moving Prince for a starter would do that then they're going to look for a guy with some kind of success at the ML level. I was just pointing out that the Brewers need pitching if they want to get back in it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 04:27 PM) Brewers are looking to compete this season. They're not going to trade Prince unless they start struggling again. Very similar to Cliff Lee. They need a rotation and with Hart and Weeks going good Prince could be moved for a pitcher.

Good thing old Randy got some work in.

he oughta take three strikes

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:09 PM) the coaches stand there when they hit fungos i think Yes if a team takes infield practice during batting practice the coach stands there to hit

SS2K you should make every game thread for the remainder of the season. as well as the winner thread. You have the power to do this.

Was at the game today. Great crowd, great game there was an atmosphere there that was incredible.

The difference in Jenks last year and this to me is he seems to not be giving up the HR's this year which got him last. If Beckham gets going we may just have something. Omar's defense is a difference which is why I think Dayan may not see the light of day in the field but should replace kotsay or jones at DH. Sox have picked up 6 games in a little over two weeks is that right.......

Thorton's mechanics look messed up he seems to be overthrowing

I want an April Thorton right here.

that 2-0 swing was s*** the 3-1 worse and then your typical bounce to the mound I would almost rather see Nix out there

Rios-Konerko-Quentin Please go get a DH...... Prado makes a play that Beckham should have Nice AB for Alexi would be nice to see that consistently. Come on Beckham wake the f*** up
