QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 27, 2007 -> 08:23 PM) FWIW, my vote for most overrated player on this board is Anthony Reyes. He is brutal. Totally agreed. He is a very average pitcher that has lost his confidence right now.

Screw Dye and AJ for swinging for the fences. Can't they see that it's better to take fewer total bases?

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Apr 27, 2007 -> 10:37 AM) Mangino is a really smart X's and O's Coach. he was very succesful as an O coordinator at OU and KSU. He finally took control of the offense this year. oh year, he cant recruit a lick. You guys have had 2-3 defensive studs the last couple years. Fluke recruits or what?

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 10:00 PM) Thats the style now. These days you gotta pay extra for rips and paint on your jeans Jordan makes the style though.

It does look like MJ, but why would he be wearing ripped jeans?

Durham 5 @ Charlotte 2 Nunez 7 IP, 5 R Lopez 3-5, R, K Sweeney 2-4, 2 K Rogowski 2-4, RBI, BB, K Huntsville 0 @ Birmingham 1 Russell 6 IP, 0 R, 5 K, 1 BB, 3 hits Collaro 2-4, 2B Potomac 2 @ Winston-Salem 5 Cunningham 1-4, RBI, R, K Schnurstein 2-4 Cassel 7 IP, 1 R, 5 K, 3 BB, 4 hits (4-0, 1.03 ERA) Asheville 4 @ Kannapolis 6 Carter 2-4, 2B, RBI, 2 R, K Allen 3-4, 2B, 3-run HR Kanny's 1-5 in the order (Gomes, Shelby, Carter, Cruz, Allen) went 10-20 with all the RBI and runs. Long 6 IP, 4 R (3 ER)

Chris Young update: .197/.265/.609 with 10 RBI so that stupid 'but he's getting RBI!' argument doesn't fly anymore.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 02:49 PM) I didn't even think twice about the thing, cause I didn't care enough to. I would admit, it'd be pretty funny if it was indeed fake, cause I can't stand Schilling. Exactly how I feel. Schilling is a douche and deserves the negative attention. That said, it gives ESPN another opportunity to suck up to him, which is a shame.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 11:38 AM) If you guys think Anderson has no clue at the plate, wait until you see Terrero against major league pitchers. BA does need to play though, and even if Terrero is no better, in the long run it is better for BA. Yeah Terrero sucks. That's why it bothers me when people say 'Get Terrero up, Anderson sucks." Terrero is probably worse.

They complained about local announcers being biased. That's funny. Local announcers are supposed to be biased. I was happy to see Brennaman on there, he's horrific. Also, Hawk's lines make more sense than they gave credit and I've never heard "He's getting ridden hard and put away wet."

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 10:19 PM) Calling Luis Terrero Calling Ryan Sweeney Gross. Sweeney would be just as bad because he is sucking in AAA right now. God that game made me bitter. Chad f***ing Durbin, unreal.

I officially hate Brian Anderson.

I'm gonna pray that there isn't a ball hit to RF this game.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 07:24 PM) Floyd's just watching the Sox, and has determined that having a bad first inning is key to be an integral part of the Sox staff. Prophetic tonight.

Toledo 4 @ Charlotte 6 Gavin Floyd 7 IP, 4 R, 8 K, 7 hits, 3 BB (all 4 runs scored in the 1st off back-to-back-to-back HRs) Fields 2-4, 2-run HR Owens 2-4, 2 R, SB, K Birmingham 2 @ Mississippi 5 Lucy 2-4, 2-run HR Honel 3 IP, 5 R, 5 K, 1 BB, 5 hits Wing 3 IP, 0 R, 2 K, 1 BB, 3 hits (12.1 IP, 0 R, 11 K, 5 BB, 4 hits on the season) Potomac 13 @ Winston-Salem 11 (blown save, W-S gave up 3 in the top of the 9th) Cunningham 1-4, 2-run HR, 2 R, BB Javier Castillo 3-5, 2-run HR, 2 R, K (.333 on the year) Rodriguez 3 IP, 8 R

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 02:25 PM) So who will take the chance on Prior in 2009? Mets or Orioles is a random guess by me. It's gotta be somebody who is willing to waste a couple million.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 11:03 PM) Noe Rodriguez 1.0 IP 1 H 0 R 0 ER 0 BB 3 SO Flash is very very slowly getting impressed. Yay for 22 year olds repeating low A ball as relievers!

QUOTE(Linnwood @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 12:35 AM) Who cares? Well... I do... It isn't that HR are not runs scored... it is about not swinging for the fence at every AB. As far as I'm concerned it's about repeating last year's success offensively and people b****ed about all the HRs last year too.

I don't mean to defend Erstad by any means and hate him so far this year. However, he's 9 for his last 27.

QUOTE(Linnwood @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 12:30 AM) As strange of a game as it was, it was nice to see all but one run scored by means other than a home run. WHO CARES?! Runs are runs, I'm sorry to single you out, but so many people here act like runs not scored by HRs count double or some bulls***. The offense relied on HRs last year and scored a s*** ton of runs, good for 3rd in the league (2 behind Cleveland for 2nd).

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 12:29 AM) Boone came through in a tough situation, which kinda surprised me. Absolutely. With Thornton struggling, it would be huge if Logan could get his head on straight.

QUOTE(Linnwood @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 12:27 AM) And they have the crowd noise turned down too... so quiet.. Yeah...crowd noise turned down...that's it...

SWEEP!!! I can now stop b****ing about being 10-8 and in 4th place and start b****ing about being 11-8 and not in first.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 12:22 AM) For those curious, Royals cast has this: Agree that the Royals have the most boring announcers known to man?

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 12:11 AM) they hate sweeney. Yeah, but why? There is not a real reason. My roommate went along with the whole anti-Sweeney thing by saying 'he doesn't earn his money'. If you want to compete you have to pay salaries like that, s***. He was a stud until last year and they were booing him the first week of 06...He's a career .300 hitter!!
