Bruce Levine Trying to Remove Frank's Foot from...
You are so right. He always has priase for the cub but always needs to point out the negative of the sox. If you ever listen to Jimmy Piersall though you would appreciate Levine. All media treats the cub like they are they Yankees, except Skip Bayless, I love this guy.

Who would you choose as your ace?
Pedro or Prior I really like Joel Pinero. Not in the terms of this conversation but I think he may become something.

Do we believe in miracles?
I thought yesterday was until A-Rod homered. Now I just don't know. I think they could be tied for first Thursday morning but I could also see them being 5 out. Runelvys Hernandez was sent down so the Royal rotation consists of Paul Abbot, Kevin Appier and Jose Lima. This is just wrong. See what a good manager does for a team....

Keith Foulke
Talk about overuse. This guy may throw over 100 innings. He threw 2 on Tuesday and 1 2/3 Thursday. I understand it was a big series. Typical A's fashion.
-
Brief thought
Jon Garland is the least of our worries. He is probably the best number four starter outside of the Bronx and Oakland. The guy above anything else is very durable and he is getting it together.

Cleveland 2, Minnesota 0
Now Joe Mays is in the game. Bot 9 8-1 Tribe. First run for the Twins in at least 23 innings.
-
Why Adkins? What about Pacheco?
Then all they have after this season are draft picks, assuming they offer Foulke arbitration. A pretty scary thing nowadays. We will still have Koch (you never know,) and Cotts (a suppossed throw in.) Valentine's numbers last year were not throw in material.
-
Why Adkins? What about Pacheco?
Joe Valentine was sent down by the Reds. He was to be the A's future closer.
-
Cleveland 2, Minnesota 0
Baldwin was shelled. Now Reed is in the game. What is their rotation?
-
Jon Adkins???
Has he been recalled with Koch leaving? Who did Ginter piss on?
-
Jose Lima tosses off
see Roy Oswalt

The Aaron Rowand PT thread
I agree Rowand should be playing but Lee should DH and everett should play left. Konerko should find a home on the bench.

Line Ups- Sox & Angels 8/12/03
Frank ditched the timing mechanism Hawk was yapping about, it only took six at-bats. Frank needs to get an idea and stay with it.

Line Ups- Sox & Angels 8/12/03
He doesn't have enough service time to be eligible for FA he has to accept arbitration or agree to a deal. If we do not offer him arbitration then he can be a Free Agent without us gaining any compensation.
-
Line Ups- Sox & Angels 8/12/03
He is arbitration eligible along with Buerhle and Garland. Not a Free Agent.

Line Ups- Sox & Angels 8/12/03
In best Simpsons voice, Caaaaarl, oh he got the next one anyway. We're into the sixth, huh. Not sure what ot make of this whole thing.

This will cheer you up if you are down about Cotts
This guy had no business being in the big leagues today. I am not saying he will not make it but he throws too many pitches. AA guys do not make it to the big leagues by drawing walks and pitchers should not amke it by walking them.

The Official Cub Hating thread
I always thought a cool picture would be God, you know with the long flowing white hair and beard, robes and what not taking a crap with Wrigley being the toilet and watching the Bears play in the Superbowl at Soldier Field and Sox play at Comiskey at the same time in the World Series. He would be pretty big with the Sears Tower or something as an arm rest. Pretty goofy but in my head it is a cool site. I am not an artist so i will stick with the little kid pissing on the cub hat.

The Immortal Mr. Gload
No really has ever even talked about Ross Gload otehr than as a nice conversation piece about our AAA team. It has been pointed out often that he is AAAA material and will only be called up if the situation was dire, (i.e. Cotts.)
-
Neal Cotts' First Start
I see an Aaron Sele like performance. 4+, 80 pitches, 3 K's 5 BB's 6 hits, 5 runs. A costly error from the fielders to deflate the evening. Just when I get excited (Sunday leaving the park,) this team shows when I can not. The idea of a guy that was basically a throw in on a deal making a huge start for us, we are 2 out with 44 to play (KC has 45 to play,) frustrates me. Wright should have pitched last eve, I have no clue what this teams wants to do.
-
Fuck the Bullpen Thread
He need to know how to use them. Colon should throw 100 pitches at least, no matter what. He is better than anyone in the pen.
-
Schoenewies
Look at his stats he can only face lefties. Only saw two batters last eve before I called it quits. I thought Wright should ahve coem in, or Koch.

Gamethread: Monday August 11th
He was part of one of the best doubleplays ever turned this evening when Valentin shorthopped a doubleplay throw. Somehow this piece of s*** no good fatass is almost 40 games over in his career
-
Gamethread: Monday August 11th
WE are great at popping out on the infield. Crede and Konerko have it down to a science. I see a bullpen line 4 2/3 shutout ball for the halos pen. No wait Valentin will get a homer when we are down 6-3 in the ninth. This is sick and getting worse. At least we have a AA pitcher going against this AAA lineup that is making us look like idiots.

Gamethread: Monday August 11th
We are losing because the bottom four in our order are all under .240 and I would bet have OBP's of less then .300. This is disgusting, as pathetic as it gets. God Night Irene.
