Really good read about him in the new body issue.

Gordon hurting bad. Damnit.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 10:39 PM) Darn.. Was Kepp out by a lot? Yes, though the throw was perfect.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 07:36 AM) 3 people win I've always been a winner

Really nice bunt by Danks.

Gordon with another hit.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 02:45 PM) He's been really bad for a while now outside of the 6-6 game. He definitely seems to be lacking some focus at the plate. I don't doubt that he's distracted by trade talk. I wasn't aware til I read his interview the other day just how much he wants to stay here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 02:42 PM) Yep, it's a tough call but an easy decision to move him up if you plan on him being a key member of this team going forward. I'd love to trust that this is closer to the real Gordon. Alex looks as bad as I have ever seen him in his two at bats today. Wow.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 02:39 PM) Not with as much authority as he did in 2008, but he's getting there. He's hit a ton of balls hard, including right at the outfielders. He's been far and away the most consistent hitter on the team. As much as we've talked about not messing with something that's working, hopefully we can move him up in the order after we move some guys and then just leave him be.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 02:35 PM) The White Sox got pretty good value for Thornton, especially since he's basically a highly-paid LOOGY now. The only reason, in my opinion, that anyone should be frustrated with getting Jacobs back is that they likely wouldn't have had to target him if there had been any development by the outfielders in the system. The only other thing is he'll have to be on the 40 man next year, correct? Matt's the guy that's on the cliff of old-age that greg thinks Jesse is on.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 02:30 PM) Yep, he's awesome this year. If Rios gets traded, they need to move Beckham into the 3rd spot. I haven't been able to watch much since he came back - has he been going to RCF like he used to as well?

Gordon continues squaring it up.

I wonder how much of Boston's desire to get Matt has to do with Juan Nieves being there.

Alexei really is making it difficult for me to care if we move him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 01:29 PM) +1 Indeed, extremely easy to pull for. Back to the Sale, though, I totally agree with you. I think part of the reason we have moved guys in the past has been injury risk - Santos perhaps being the most recent example. I don't want to move Sale. I don't think we move Sale. But I think injury concern is the only reason you would at this point.

greg, i still don't get why you think crain is old.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 04:05 PM) 3) You think there's no way he stays healthy for the length of his contract Ding ding

I totally expect us to have a winning record against Detroit because YOLO?

I just got done getting it in Came back to my place. wanted to snack from the fridge and BROKE FOUR EGGS in the process i wanted an omelette tomorrow. f***. it was going to be delicious.

hit a home run adam

Garza coming in from the bullpen like that seemed really bush league.

I could see him getting DFA'd in the future as well. There's not much reason to have him on this team.

No, not a chance.

Fantastic start by Hector, which we will undoubtedly waste.

Dan Hayes says groin strain.
