The one negative about our offense not sucking right now is that Oz and KW will decide we don't need to add anyone, and that is just silly.

Alexei has been lost all day. He hit two home runs the past two days, so he obviously is gonna try even harder to hit home runs now. I wish Alexei would swing the bat like he did when we first saw him in ST. He swung with the intention of hitting the ball hard, but he would go with the pitch and not try and pull everything over the damn fence.

I have to question if Alexei has any idea what he is doing tonight at bat.

couldn't tell for sure, but I think a good LF would catch that... but Lillibridge must have trained with Dr. McNamee this offseason, showing off some pop!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:57 PM) Viciedo might wind up being a real pimp. Wtf is up with the one sock though. I can't do that in MLB the Show, dammit. lol, obviously he hasn't learned how to properly tape his socks up. I assume most players now a days don't tape their socks up, but rather just pull their pants up.

That Andruw Jones is a great player! Now get your 400th so we can DFA you already!

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:53 PM) I still wonder with all of his years in the game, how Hawk doesn't realize that as well... He's just too damn emotional.

I love Hawk, cause he is at least a true fan, but he gets so f***ing annoying at times. Freddy Garcia is NOT an all-star. AJP has SUCKED this season, he swung the bat well for about a week and a half, but outside of that, he's been awful.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:51 PM) Think of it this way...if it was one on, no outs for Rios, the Angels might have pitched him differently to try and induce the double play. I doubt they throw him an inside fastball. Agreed. I never liked the argument (well that cost us a run) or whatever. A pitcher pitches different depending on the situations.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) How about non-HR ruling challenge flags? Two per manager. I'd be fine with some sort of challenge system. But no need for the game to be run by robots. However, I'd love to see a robot fight Eric Cooper. My god he is awful, even though that call benefited us, it just pisses you off that someone can be that bad. At least he is consistently bad.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:47 PM) So I found a way to improve our offense...trade for Nix and Betemit. That would be a great DH platoon. Nix had a great weekend. 2 homers the other day, playing great D. I still felt we should have gave him more of a chance.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:40 PM) We have the technology to replace umpires. f*** that... the day that robots are making the calls is the day I stop being a MLB fan.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:40 PM) What was the other call that Cooper blew? Andruw Jones first K of the day, he clearly checked it up. But only Hawk would hold a grudge on that one because most everyone knew Jones was going to K, if not on that pitch, then the next.

Bout damn time Rios finally hit for some power!

god awful call. Get your money's worth Oz!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:25 PM) Pena got the DP ball when he needed. For throwing as many balls as he did, I'll take one run in 3 innings. Time to go to the good part of our pen. It was the slowest 3 innings Ive ever watched and we're lucky he only gave up 1 run. Its just so frustrating because he's got such good stuff but has the Javy Vazquez syndrome where he has no balls and tries to be perfect instead of just f***ing pitching.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) If Derek Jeter was traded to the Sox, would they put his picture on the screen and say "It's black and white"? I would hope so because that would be hilarious.

Almost forgot, what the hell happened to the White Marketing/Advertising team this year? These Black and White ads they have f***ing blow... who thought those ads were any good in the first place???

Wow, that was one of the worst pickoff moves Ive ever seen. Can someone tell Tony Pena to grow a pair of balls and just pitch! My god, he's got too good of stuff to be this f***ing bad.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:15 PM) he cant hit any cookie. meanwhile, does this not seem like the longest game of the year? Well, the rain delay, plus Tony Pena's slow ass pitching more than 1 inning, that equals a long ass game.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:15 PM) If Andruw Jones doesn't get a hit here, he needs to be DFA'ed right after the game. You suck ass Andruw Jones. Kenny, I have no idea what your fascination with him is, we got a solid hot streak from him back in April, but its time for him to go!

If Andruw Jones doesn't get a hit here, he needs to be DFA'ed right after the game.

QUOTE (Bhay99 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) guess 99.99999% sure isn't as solid as it used to be Thank god it isn't!!!

wow Juan Rivera is a terrible LF.
