QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 11:43 AM) have any folks actually watched Escobar? Does he have any chance to be a big-league regular? can't imagine Morel and Escobar on the left side of the infield as a viable offensive combination. From what I saw of him last year, I was impressed with him. He may not be an outstanding major leaguer, but he could have a steady career.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 08:28 AM) If forced to narrow it down to just one, it would be Married With Children easily. 1A would be the Wonder Years. After that it gets difficult. Honorable mention to South Park, Beavis and Butthead, Family Guy, Rosanne, Home Improvement, That 70's Show and Sons of Anarchy. Also MST3K even though I've mostly seen them on DVDs rather than actually on TV. That would be it for me.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) Tyler Williams makes Oney Guillen look like a prospect. 20 AB, 1 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 14 K's. That's a joke even in Rookie Ball. But according to Mark Gonzalez, he's struggling to adjust to pro ball. Absolutely nauseating.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) James Paxton just owned the Barons. You should've seen it. He was throwing gas all night. Consistently 97-99, lots of swings and misses, 10 K's. One of the two hits he gave up should've been called an E-1. He pitched out of quite a jam in the 5th... Birmingham Bottom of the 5th Jon Gilmore grounds out, third baseman Francisco Martinez to first baseman Rich Poythress. Jose Martinez singles on a ground ball to pitcher James Paxton. (Paxton whiffed trying to field the ball) Jason Bour strikes out swinging. With Jake Oester batting, Jose Martinez steals (3) 2nd base. Jake Oester walks. Ross Wilson walks. Jose Martinez to 3rd. Jake Oester to 2nd. Greg Paiml strikes out swinging. (Bases loaded, 3 straight balls, then 3 straight strikes)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 03:10 PM) MG Ugh. Maybe that's why he wasn't drafted, hello!? I look forward to the day when we don't have to read these brown nosing articles about Kenny's awful kids.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 12:10 PM) Sore knee. Beat me to it.

Mercifully, KW Jr. is back on the DL.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 11:49 PM) Andy Wilkins hasn't played in a while. I wonder what the issue is there.... I'm going to e-mail Alex Vispoli and find out. Jim Gallagher has been on the inactive list since July 26th, can't seem to find out why.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 04:24 AM) Coffee, Alabama. I have some thoughts on that.

He must be able to hear our thoughts.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 07:47 PM) Is Ross Wilson legitimately in AA, or is he just holding a spot because of an injury? Walking distance from Regions Park I guess. I think that's the only reason Greg Paiml's still with the Barons. Trace Crossings is a wealthy neighborhood by the way.

BEST. SHOW. EVER. I actually went to one of their conventions back in '96 in Minneapolis.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 07:20 PM) Former MSU/NFL D Lineman and Police Academy actor Bubba Smith. That sucks.

Aside from cutting Tatupu, not resigning Hasselbeck and signing Tarvaris Jackson, I'm loving everything Seattle is doing. I've been waiting for years and years for them to be aggressive in signing quality players.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 12:54 AM) If this front office (at least the coaching staff) isn't completely overhauled I'll probably get thrown out of Camelback Ranch at least 3 times this spring. I'll be the biggest asshole out there...guaranteed!

Cheers!

Tyler Williams adds 2 more K's and no hits.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 08:09 PM) Matt Moore- another good Rays prospect. 8th rounder. In comparison, the White Sox draft KW Jr. in the 8th round.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 10:53 AM) Has he had shoulder problems? Leg and wrist/hand. I think he just throws like that. It's odd, he looks like he's going to try to throw overhand, then he ends up submarining it. It's some kind of weird tick. He's already started playing 1B, I imagine he'll be there permanently next year.

Good article about Terry Doyle. Link

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 08:48 AM) What injury has he had all year long? Which one?

QUOTE (OilCan @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 11:02 PM) I saw Santiago's June/July splits and thought "Injury", but I'll take your word for it, JPN. You're around the Barons more than anyone else. I hope he continues to improve. His BB/K July split also got me worried. I'm just thinking that maybe they're trying to stretch him back out. He went from starter, to rarely used reliever, then back to starter.

This is how Jon Gilmore throws from third base...every time. Image

I wonder if Bobby Magallanes will be fired for not playing KW Jr.? That's 4 games in a row now.

QUOTE (OilCan @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:54 PM) What in the world is going on with Hector Santiago??? From what his stats show, it looks like he forgot how to pitch. Readjusting to pitching every 5 days instead of a few innings over a three week period probably.
