QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:11 PM) i wouldn't call one solo shot a 'display of power'. as we know, even scotty pods can do that now and again. It was an extra base hit. That's been good for him.

A producing Josh Fields makes us a much better team.

We sorely need the power that Josh displayed all of a sudden today.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:29 PM) True, and he does make decent contact. He just has to stop being so damn pull-happy. Ah, I phrased that wrong, I meant average and not contact.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:21 PM) This is nuts..Jayson Nix is batting .203 this season. He's not good, but people are acting like we discovered this amazing player. He's an amazing second baseman. He still can't hit worth a s***, he's just run into a few. He's like BA was last year without the contact rate.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:03 PM) Do you agree with me that Nix is a more valuable player than Getz? I think this whole thing will actually end up being a battle between those 2 for backup; Nix being the more versatile position player. Neither one has been particularly awesome.

If Alexei is not moving from SS, we're best off if Josh Fields is our 3B, and Gordon Beckham is our 2B until Gordon proves he can't handle the job. I love Getz as much as the next guy, but I've always thought of him as a middle infielder off the bench.

mmm steak

Seattle Marineros

Seattle goes up 2-1 on a Junior 2-out double.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 05:13 PM) So with Getz and Fields having good games today, does Gordo play SS tomorrow? You don't make the f***ing lineup.

Brian's making it real easy to not give a s*** if he never plays again.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 04:07 PM) Ozzie needs to manage wisely against the Tigers next week. You can't play Fields against the likes of Verlander and Jackson, as he won't hit their fastball. However, he needs to be in the lineup against Dontrelle. A real test for this season will be Verlander. We OWN that f***.

I see our friend Doug Eddings is behind home.

I don't mind them sitting Beckham. He could probably use some rest after the last few days. That and because I can't see the game here in friggin Iowa.

If I ever need a sharp grounder to the left side, BA's my guy. I hope he's wearing protection at the plate, cause he's f***ing himself over lately, and hard.

Eggy is nails as a starter.

Gameday seems to show this ump blowing dick behind the plate.

We'll win 12-2.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 11:06 AM) He has a rope around his neck and "other body parts" and everyone things he was rubbing one out? Doesn't say that anywhere. Shouldn't jump to conclusions. Well there was rope attached to his junk.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 08:10 AM) Oelwien, IA is "meth land"? I knew Des Moines had big meth issues, but... Oelwein? Really? Very much so. I live a block away from the high school, and there was a meth lab less than a block away from me.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 11:16 PM) I'm pretty excited about Entourage, but I don't have HBO at my house, so I'm gonna have to find a friend that does. I also want to start watching Burn Notice. I've heard it's a really good show from quite a few people. WatchTVSitcoms.com my friend.

Steve, any news on whether or not those MVP rosters are worth a s***? Or have you not gotten it back yet?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 03:36 PM) Weeds starts up again on Monday. Hopefully it's slightly less crazy than last year. Got a little too out there for me last season. Also, in news for people that look kinda like me when I let my hair grow out, Zac Efron will be on Entourage.
