As a matter of fact, yes.... http://www.suntimes.com/output/mariotti/cst-spt-jay21.html

Sorry to hear you're a Colts fan. Titans fan here. Listen man, what happened what that Reese told EG back in FEB that either he takes a paycut, app. $1.5M/yr, or he was gone. He told EG that the Titans could no longer afford financially or competitively to feature a RB who barely averages 3yds per carry. George initially agreed to the cut and then at the last minute "changed his mind" which put the Titans in one hell of a bind. Since then the Titans have NEVER changed their offer and are INTENTIONALLY dragging this out with George to f*** him over, being he tried to f*** over the Titans front office. Chris Brown is an upgrade over Eddie. I'm excited about our chances of taking the South back this year. Should be an exciting season in one of the best divisions in all of football.

Awesome piece. I really like getting the opportunity to read different takes from different fans who know their s***. Keep up the good work!!!

In the 4th inning specifically he was consistently biting the outside corner, with the ball moving away from the hitter. Granted with the camera view from centerfield being a bit off center you can't tell 100% what's a strike and what isn't, but those were balls that are generally called strikes. Jon kept trying, hitting the exact spot, and none were called for strikes. He knew that he was being forced to pitch meatballs or walk guys. He was in a tough spot. I was getting pissed with the calls, I'm glad to see Jon feels the same, atleast it wasn't that I was just being a homer.

I don't think Houston would be looking for much in return. It'd be a salary dump, we'd just have to outbid some other teams.

Jose crushed that ball today. He had every right to watch it being there was absolutely no doubt that it was gone. I guarantee you that if Jose wasn't positive he wouldn't have watched, like Carlos consistently does. Atleast use a comparable example if you're going to criticize other people's opinions.

Don't f*** with the jesus.

Big Frank has 436 career HRs and still gets out of the batter's box after he hits the ball. I guess his depth perception just isn't as good as Carlos

The first HR landed in the first or second row. That is far from a bomb and certainly worthy of running until he knew for sure. If the ball is close enough that the OF is squaring it up to have a go at it, like Winn was last night, he better be running. And it's not finding "something to complain about", it's got nothing to do with showboating (he earned the showboat on the second HR which was obviously gone as soon as he made contact), but it's got everything to do with heads up baseball and to give the impression that you're a team player.

I'm with you guys. As many times as we've all said it before, I really think that Garland is starting to turn into the pitcher we'd all been told he could be. He's looked very impressive his last few outings, minus a couple of horrible innings.

That dude is such a cock in the mouth. Anyone got a copy of the original post from over there or anything? The thread is closed.

Ever since Gammons said we could win the WS we've lost. f*** Gammons.

Since May 1st Neal has just been awful. Horrible. May finished with a 7.00ERA/1.67WHIP and Jun finished with an 8.68ERA/1.61WHIP. So far he's off to a 54.00ERA/9.00WHIP in July. I didn't get to watch the game last night due to some softball games. Got home, flipped over to sportsline before jumping in the shower, and see bases loaded/nobody out with Cotts on the mound in a 4-2 game. Why is Cotts, considering the way he's been pitching, in a 4-2 game in the top of the 9th? I don't get it. Especially after the 1st two men get on base. I think Neal will be an effective starter in a couple of seasons, it's obvious he's not cut out for the BP (BP as in bullpen, he is cut out for the other BP). Send him down to Charlotte to master the SP thing, he's doing us no good in Chicago.

I doubt they'll be looking for major leaguers in return, unless it's Cotts.

That's the worst part of E-Lo being an All Star this year, he'll probably feel it's justification for a fatter contract.

I think it's time to platoon Willie and Joe. Uribe 3B, Val SS, Willie 2B vs. RHP and Crede 3B, Val SS, and Uribe 2B vs LHP. Joe is absolutely killing this team at the plate on a consistent basis. The problem was magnified this weekend with an already weak lineup due to NL rules/injury. There's got to be a point where ya say that you've given him enough time to come out of his slump. He showed signs the last couple of weeks but it appears he's slipping right back into that funk. You absolutely HAVE to put your best team on the field everyday and we're not doing that as long as Crede refuses to adjust his swing and approach at the plate.

We end the season 2-7 in NL parks with all 9 games occurring while Maggs has been injured. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why we have lost these games. I mean, we f***ing lost a series in Montreal, and we're surprised the sCrUBS swept us? We're still in very good shape when looking at the big picture. I'm sure that the team realizes how s***ty a hand they've been dealt as soon as they look at the lineup card in these NL parks. We'll be fine, and I personally foresee an offensive explosion this week.

I'd agree that recruiting from churches could certainly be considered illegal. The republicans have always done shadey things to get votes. http://html.themilwaukeechannel.com/sh/ele...105-222208.html The democrats have also always done shadey things to get votes. f*** em both, they're one and the same.

you guys are on the ball. thanks

Somebody please ban this fool.

Unless those interleague games cost you a playoff spot.

Is that historically speaking or just this year? I ask because I believe that all the games this weekend are at NL parks.

This team, like most AL teams, is not built for NL parks. With Maggs out due to injury and being forced to sit one of our 2 remaining best hitters (hurt and paulie), we have a truly weak lineup. It's tough to win with Gload, Perez, Burke, and Loaiza taking up four spots in the batting order. Granted Gload, Perez, and Burke have all made some big contributions to this team, but overall, against a tough pitcher, that is a weak lineup. We saw this weakness revealed during our horrid weak in FLA and MON too. I'm not trying to sound like a doom and gloom guy, I think we'll be fine after interleague play is over, but I don't like our prospects of winning this series. Just another reason why interleague is a horrible idea and should be eliminated. It's obvious that the NL gains a huge advantage when playing home games.

This is definitely setting up a trade. A bit of a PR coverup for when he does get dealt...."well we tried our best" kinda deal.
