QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 1, 2009 -> 01:32 AM) It's such a toss-up with him. When he's on, he's an absolute ace #1, no doubt. Then there is those nights where he doesn't have the best control but still pitches well enough to only give up 2-3 runs, which I'd say would be a solid #2. The main problem is that he mixes in too many of those "I have nothing tonight and give up 8 runs" games. for about a month after he came back he was probably a number 2 at worst. but he was working quickly and using his fastball and not droppng down as much in his last 3 starts hes been pitching like a 5 or worse cuz hes been walking way too many guys and being timid on the mound. Jose has done everything you could ever ask from a pitcher for this organization (lead us to a world series, volunteer to go to the minors to refine his game so he could still compete, etc.) but at the end of this season, its time for him to move on. thanks for everything jose but good bye

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 06:49 PM) Clearly yeah, but still, huh? Maybe they think they can put him on the Ortiz plan? hasnt testing gotten more strict?

why does every yankees game draw so well? is it cuz theres more yankee fans here and they go and fill up the park? or is it getting to see a team that won 25 championships in their history but none inthe recent past. i dont get it

not sure if we'll get this one in

I bet beckham goes 5/5 with 5 doubles

Im a big fan of getz, want him on the team and actually endorse the trade alexie(hopefully netting 1 or 2 bigtime prospects) and keeping a middle infield of getz/beckham for a longggg time. but wtf was chris doing on that ground ball where he broke to his right and the ball was hit to his left? has there been any explanation of this yet?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 11:41 AM) Let's specify here...by "Most", you mean "61%" based on the most recent data. 39% of murders in 2007 went without convictions. And probably a fair number of those were wrongful convictions, based on the overturn rate we see these days. He's got a legit shot. i think if you have no motive, and gil grissom isnt on your case, you could get away with it quite easily

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 11:45 PM) “The basics have been working, getting ahead," Holmberg said. "Ideally I like to try and bust hitters inside with the fastball, get their eyes going pretty fast. If they're behind a little with their swing I'll go with the same thing, fastball in. Then I'll change speeds with a changeup out or curveball down. That's ideal." Holmberg’s a guy who pitches in sequence, he relies more on control then power, but his frame is projectable enough to suggest room for growth in the 3 to 4 MPH range. Also, he's only 18 “Holmberg's fastball sits consistently at 87-88 mph, but can touch 91. He also has a very good curveball that has two-plane break and has shown feel for a changeup. At 6-foot-3, 220 pounds his body has some projection left that could lead to a little bit more velocity, though he'll rely on continuing to command his fastball and use it to set up his curve.” http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/high-...009/267784.html sounds like he could be a stud

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:29 PM) Glad to see Garko gone before we play the Tribe again. take his flat bat with him to the nl.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 11:31 PM) 1.) That leathery thing on either your left or right hand is for catching the ball. It is not a hat. 2.) When throwing the ball to a person wearing the same uniform as you, remember to try and aim the ball so it hits the glove. Bouncing it, kicking it, throwing it over the players head is not part of the equation. 3.) The club like thing is a bat, you swat it at the ball thrown by the man on the hill. 4.) There are no ghosts, boogeymen, or scary things at the Metrodome. Its like Walmart, including the pumped in sound effects. Try not to become the self fulfilling prophecy of suck. Try hitting the ball, catching the ball, and running around the bases. It is okay to hit past the 4th inning. "the name of the game is hit the ball, catch the ball, and get the f***in job done" -lee elia i too am sick of the overall attitude among fans announcers players and management that we cant win going into that dome. Its still baseball, even if it is indoors

They dont look that funny listed here but i watched and was laughing at almost all of them. then again i love mark so that could be why

this thread is borderline blasphemous

they could do a six man rotation for a few weeks and see whos pitching the worst out of colon/contreras/richard and then move that person to the bullpen/dl. edit: but it looks like they wont be doing this, with clayton moving to the pen

wow this writer completely ripped that fan apart i think its a little much

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 08:50 PM) This isn't going to end well. Richard needs to find some zip in his fastball... clayton says stfu

beckhams ceiling: best player ever

porcello pitchin around beckham scared

woo i'm in birmingham

richard has a good move

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 07:55 PM) umm....idk if i'd say that this ballpark is big enough that he could leg one out in i remember when he hit an inside the parker in tropicana. it took about 20 mins

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 07:52 PM) Paulie....Cycle? if he hits a triple, i'll eat a beer can

no joe morgan tonight thats a plus and hersheiser just said thames was a "hooker"

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 07:37 PM) yeah but i still think his stats will be out Gordo's to this point if the season ended today true but beckham has a lot of time left to rack up the rbis since hes so adept at doing that
