QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 09:18 PM) All the Red Sox are trying to do right now is move him to an NL team. We'll find out shortly if one actually wants Youkillis. This. If the offers are close (or if the Dodgers are really serious) he'll wake up a Dodger. For all we know, every other team could be a bluff. Stare em' down, KW.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 07:56 PM) The two 2B's on the rookies squads both starting very nicely. Mark Haddow not in Kanny's lineup... day off, or on his way up? W-S wow, 15 runs on 19 hits so far in the 7th. 4 HR's. Looks like Castro was doing OK through 5, then the wheels fell off. This seems to be a pattern. The good stretches give me hope.

Whew!

Our runner-holding has also gone to s*** lately.

And he can't even hold the tieing runner as a lefty. Pathetic.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:11 PM) Thornton in a tight situation.. makes me queasy every time. Yeah, he's Mr. Non-leverage these days. I expect failure from him at this point.

It's never easy, is it? Let's hold THIS lead.

Yesss!

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 07:56 PM) Come on Dunn! Try not to be a useless sack of s*** in this AB. He'll either be that or a hero. Not much in between with this guy. Though a pulled grounder won't be so bad now.

Alright. I'm IN, we're winning this damn game.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 02:33 PM) Loria is crazy. He had a pep talk with the team Thursday and bragged with the media about it, of course, the Marlins are 0-3 since then, giving up six in the ninth today. True that, and crazy rich too. Rich enough to eat Ozzie's contract if when it comes to that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 07:39 PM) Lucky that didn't get out of here. That fastball is getting destroyed by Jones. He's lost something recently, though I'm not entirely sure what it is.

I love Huddy!!!! :unsure:

Let's tie this thing with a single right now.

Tank havin' a night. We NEED it!!!!

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 07:23 PM) Does Lilli have options? Our brief love affair with the Elf has ended ugly.

God, this sucks. Falling apart like a cheap suit. Lucky break that it's not 7-4, yet.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 06:58 PM) Lazy defense by AJ This has become a habit, sadly.

Would rather not get him than overpay even slightly. He's like a lottery ticket. We'll know soon enough.

Should have put the stadium on the river just south of Chinatown and created a destination with outfield views of the skyline, a park along the river, and an abundance of dining/nightlife/daylife. Could have had a palace, instead we got a mall, with advertisements blocking views of housing projects - we'll get another chance, maybe, in another 25 years or so. We blew it. I have a friend from Bridgeport/Armo(u?)r Square whose dad was a big-wig in Chicago finance. My buddy (who's a bit of a racist) told me that the stadium was an anchor to the neighborhood, and not-so-subtley hinted that it helped divide the neighborhoods. My response was: "for 81 days a year, and besides, isn't that what the Dan Ryan Expressway is for?" The fact that thousands of Tigers and BoSox fans (and hundreds of thousands of other tourists) fill Wrigley and the Cubs' coffers annually makes an actual rebuild viable economically, and Theo's job much, much easier than KW's.

We're just an Oney tweet away from this getting really fun, though I'd be willing to bet that Loria DID discuss such matters with Oz before the hire. Considering the money Loria spent in the offseason, Ozzie's not going to have a honeymoon there, and any chance of that was gone with the Castro comments. It will be fun seeing Ozzie as a third base coach in a few years, if he has a job in baseball at all.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 12:07 PM) Not to defend Rogers, but I think that crap was a bit unfair. All he predicted was the 1st round picks and quite frankly you should be drafting the best player available at that point. This is one of the reasons I hate B&B, as they love piling on things they hate, even when it's not exactly appropriate or true. x 1,000,000,000

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 22, 2012 -> 06:56 AM) If Septimo can keep his walks down, he has the type of arm to be a lock down reliever. I'm hoping he's the first in line if we're able to unload Thornton.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 09:08 AM) Dylan's leash on the MLB roster will be short unless Simon Castro gets shelled in Charlotte. I'm looking forward to seeing Castro, as he could be a big piece of the future puzzle. I just hope it isn't out of immediate necessity, as you say.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 10:02 AM) Pretty good doesn't cut it. Actually, in this division, pretty good might cut it plenty, with a little left over.
