McLouth is now 7-16 with 4 homers against Myers.

I shudder to think where we might be without Myers right now

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 07:38 PM) Yep..I'm actually interested in seeing ADA and Wise in the same lineup. I think Wise batting 8th with Viciedo sitting against some righties could really balance the lineup. I just love how he plays so shallow...and he still makes plays on balls over us head better than De Aza

Wise is an outstanding fielder

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 07:34 PM) Hawk very critical of Beckham in that AB Beckham has the lowest ba on the road of any qualifying player

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 07:32 PM) F'n brutal umpiring He's one of the best, too

Went back to watch that replay and I have absolutely no clue what he was doing.

I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis She had a moist vagina she took the midnight train going anywhere I said train kept a-rollin' all night long Train kept a-rollin' all night long Train kept a-rollin' all night long Train kept a-rollin' all night long With a heave and a ho Well don't you know that's the sound of the men working on the chain gang Oh, Oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah. One of these mornings the chain is gonna break Chain, chain, chain (Chain...chain...chain..) Chain of fools! Wise Men say only fools rush in

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 12:33 PM) Since "it's all good" always rears its head during the best of times, I've learned to love it. Kind of like when something is so bad, it's good. As I said about "appreciate the game" before the season, we will all appropriate it as awesome when we win it all. Yeah, I agree...It's all good always means we've just tied the game or taken the lead...which means he could say "Shack's mother is a whore!" and I would be like "It's all good!"

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 11:10 AM) Sale Danks NewQ xxxx xxxx For as much as he talks like a stand up guy, I don't see Peavy coming back. He'll get a big (relative to his performance the last few years anyway) offer and sign elsewhere like Buehrle. I don't trust Hector or Floyd as anything but a 5th, don't trust Liriano signing, don't trust Q not being a fluke. I'll admit I'm biased, but give me some MB back for 6m, 8m, 9m the next 3 years. I think we're seeing Quintana's regression as much as it is going to happen...he's obviously gone out there several times and battled without his best stuff...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 10:31 AM) I would imagine Mark Buehrle was placed on waivers and cleared them. Get him. I miss Mark, but that contract sucks.

Saw The Bourne Legacy last night...definitely love Jeremy Renner, but not a huge fan of the movie...hopefully that was from them setting the scene for the next couple movies...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 11:38 AM) The goal of patents is not to allow a company infinite revenue every time it gets a good idea, it is to allow them a sufficient reward to make the invention effort worth it. Thus, you didn't actually demonstrate what you think you did. Apple has gotten a substantial reward in terms of sales for everything they've brought to the market. The question is...should it be able to use government intervention to make sure that no one else can step into that market? It is not infinite. Not sure where you've gotten that from the patent law. So is this what we are referring to "the law" as now? "Government intervention"? Nice one.

I wonder what overpriced SP's have cleared waivers...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) It's going to be humbling to have them beat us head to head and take the division. Our only hope is if our starting pitching man's up and dominates (we have good starting pitching, not dominant aside from Sale) their lineup and Dunn, Paulie and Youk and AJ decide they want to win a WS this year and kick major ass vs. the Tabbies (and Royals). KC by the way is about to lose 2 of 3 for its second straight series since kicking our ass. Guthrie got brutalized in his last start. Great post as usual

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 07:19 PM) Pretty similar, my wife was an editor and now teaches English. I can write something that's grammatically correct and coherent, but she's much better with flow and phrasing. Can you have her take over your Soxtalk posting as well?

Youk definitely hurting a bit

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 06:19 PM) Way things are going tonight, Rios is going to hit a line drive rocket at someone. Hopefully those ejections get everyone fired up

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 06:18 PM) Pre ejection strike zone: That's nuts....

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 06:18 PM) And I didn't think their homer was gone off the bat Me neither

I won't be surprised if this ump gets suspended quietly

I thought that was long gone

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 06:14 PM) why was he even getting in the way? Let the guy who was wrong fight his own battles. I think that is why Robin got so angry

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 06:12 PM) Q using his breaking pitches much better now. The umpire looks like he lost his puppy. I think he realized some his calls were personal...
