QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:44 PM) I'm more than satisfied with the way things turned out for Chase and myself. Looking back, I believe it happened the way it was supposed to ..I may not have been as interested had he thrown himself at me ..he let me know he liked me without being too eager or clingy ..I was confused, but it kept me interested in him. I liked him a lot, but was afraid to say anything myself because he has girls throwing themselves at him all the time, I didn't want to be "that girl". Where we are at this point in our lives, I'm comfortable with asking him, "If you liked me and wanted me to be your girl, why didn't you just say so?" ..he says he wanted to make sure I liked him for him and wasn't just another cleat chaser! Plus, he was just as confused as I was ...I mean, there was no question that we liked each other ..we just hadn't made it clear to each other that we wanted to make it official!! Bren, Bren, Bren...

Sutcliffe saying Thornton's fastball is referred to as the "magic" fastball throughout the league.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) Ugh, Andruw Jones with some absolutely boneheaded defense the last week. I don't think it was boneheaded. It was just a horrible throw. He would have been gone with a decent throw.

Andruw!

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:34 PM) With a four-run lead, our bullpen, and EdWIN's pitch count, to my way of thinking, you absolutely give him at least one batter to continue along. He walked Cabrera, and Ozzie came and got him right away. I have no problem with rewarding Jackson with the start of the inning under those circumstances. I agree, but that half inning was just too long...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) Especially with as long as this top of the 8th has lasted, it's time for the bullpen to take over. Yeah, I think the long inning should have been the deciding factor.

QUOTE (Soxy @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 06:31 PM) I understood her post as saying she wished he wouldn't have been so reserved when they met? Yes...

Oh Alexei

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:19 PM) Ozzie appears to have written a script on Kotsay for ESPN to read. "He controls that clubhouse." CREEPY. Hah, you and I are always watching the out of town broadcast...

Oh s***. Sutcliffe is extolling the virtues of Mark Kotsay's clubhouse presence now...

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) What, not the EJackulator? I can maybe go as far as Pimp Edwin.

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:13 PM) If we haven't settled on a nickname for EJax yet can we please consider Action Jackson?: I'm just going to call him Edwin. I like the name Edwin.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:11 PM) dude had a .344 obp in low A....since then...the highest obp he had at any stop in the higher minors was .318...he was as much of a fluke as you can get I honestly believed he was a late bloomer...

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) Baker is making Tampa look foolish. Tampa hitters missing his offspeed stuff by a foot. They are very similar to our club. They can't hit off speed pitchers worth a s***, but great fb hitting team.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Ok. So, 91 pitches. Does he start the 8th, or go out on top and with a shutout performance? I run him out in the 8th and pull him if anyone reaches. I'd pull him and say great f***ing job, Edwin.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:02 PM) He labored through the first 4 innings and it's only by a bit of luck/guile that he gave up nothing there. He's been dominant for the past 2.1. He just wiped a guy out on the slider. He pitched over a HUGE defensive miscue, some bad luck, and made 1 bad mistake I can think of. Dude has been very good tonight. Not dominant, but very good.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 07:55 PM) How is it you haven't paid any attention to the posts where I've given him credit, but you go after me every time I say something negative about him? Because it would be insane not to give the guy compliments...he's pitching the first time for his new team, against one of his old teams, a division rival, against what are undoubtedly some of his friends... He's gone out and hung a zero up there and you're on the fence about whether the start is not "bad." A flaw you point out is that Inge hit a ball near the warning track? He's done a hell of a job tonight.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 07:52 PM) That was a hard hit ball by Inge. Would have been trouble at the Cell. He needs a wipeout offspeed pitch. Give it up man...
