ILMOU

Might have hit into the DP, but good to see DV striking out so much less.

get him home DV.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 29, 2012 -> 06:28 PM) MLB TV going really slow So it's not just me.

Line drive in the box score.

Shields is getting in a groove - need to stop that this inning.

Damn. Saw that comin'. Maybe time to worry about Humber again.

Will 7 be enough for the Royals with the guy they're throwin' tonite?

Something filthy here, please.

We still have Fukudome??? Who knew?

Damn, this guy's good.

22 runs in last 9 games for Braves. Maybe that Walker magic is wearing off.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 27, 2012 -> 03:10 PM) Beautiful work by Viciedo against a tough righty to pick up, and a very tough pitch. Didn't overswing - kid's learnin'

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2012 -> 12:29 PM) Ugh, PK should have been trying to score there. Bad play by Paulie/McEwing. Should be 3-0.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 27, 2012 -> 10:08 AM) So what is his trade value now? Infinitely higher than his supposed "peak value" on May 10.

we're officially dangerous

In the past couple of weeks, even though our record hasn't been stellar, my worry-level about a large number of key players has greatly diminished: Dunn (2011 was just a dream, like that season of Dallas...and might he be even better in pitch selection than before?) AJP (seemingly mindful that 2013 is last chance for big payday) Viciedo (needs to find a permanent spot in the 5 hole when Paulie returns) Beckham (I now think he can be at least average again, not total suck) Sale (won't rehash, but kidz gonna start an All-Star game in a Sox uni) Reed (up to the task mentally, as well as the raw stuff - will soon be better than Santos, if he isn't already - should have closed from day one) Floyd (more good than bad, which is all we can really ask, and miles ahead of where he was in holding runners) Humber (good recent bounceback after PG hangover) Peavy (no fluke despite bad inning) and now Danks The holes, where they exist, are beyond glaring, as we all know, but I maintain that this is a better problem to have (and easier to fix or at gerry-rig) than a lack of real quality in the lineup, and ours ain't so bad with a dangerous 3-4-5 and a legit 1. I kinda figure Rios will settle into average-mediocre, which is still light years better than last year. Lexi's track record says he's bound to improve offensively as it warms up. Beckham, Tank and DeAza are the key to the season. Ax for Stew. Need to find a bench, but that's tradedeadlineable. Thornton better show something soon, so we can dump him respectably. We're a real winning streak away from making us all believers, and getting the fan turnout that makes us buyers (hole-fillers). The rest of the division is doing their part to make it possible. Semi-long-term, we need our minors to produce a total of 3 OF and IF and 1-2 SP over the next few years. Our system fully blows, but the task isn't overwhelming. Maybe it's the fumes wafting through my window from the rubber plant downriver, maybe it's the fact that I'm headin' for Vegas in a few hours, but all Kool-Aid aside, IMO, this season still has a real chance. You conduct each season as it unfolds in this sport, and you don't have to derail a partial rebuild to get it done. In a season where the Majors' two best records are owned by the O's and Dodgers (picked by nearly everyone for last place), why not us?? Cup half-full. All in. Wish me luck, boyzzz

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 18, 2012 -> 04:14 PM) Robin is likeable, but the previous manager was, at one time, as well. The previous manager rode in a parade in Chicago with a trophy as well. Edited for clarity.

QUOTE (kev211 @ May 18, 2012 -> 03:03 PM) I think I just fell in love with Addison Reed. A reliever that can pitch over mistakes - take notes Matty.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 18, 2012 -> 03:24 PM) I expect a pro to be able to adjust his angle and not let that happen. However, Rios doesn't play many day games, has rarely played in Wrigley, and I assume he won't let it happen again. No big deal. ...since we won.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ May 18, 2012 -> 12:40 AM) Is Estate Sale his new nickname? I simultaneously hope so and hope not. You're the expert on these matters. I'm peddling Slim Unit, but I'm no JoeCool in that regard.

He's back baby!!!!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 18, 2012 -> 02:12 PM) Hahahha Thornton f***ing sucks. I'm officially done with him.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 18, 2012 -> 12:09 PM) Hey, being a big Notre Dame fan, and a good friend of Jeff's cousin, I am a fan of him. I hope it's their bullpen we destroy today. And to think I defended this guy and his nicknames. Shame on me. Good GOD, do I hate the F***in' Irish.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 18, 2012 -> 09:09 AM) Friday day and Sunday day games are on WGN Saturday evenig game is listed on FOX as their game of the week. I see it is scheduled for broadcast in my area We Mountain Time Zoners get a rare treat with the FOX game - I'm sure it'll be our only one this season.
