Escobar knocks in JorDanks, just like we drew it up.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 07:40 PM) Don't mean to steal your thunder lads, but I just had crackers and milk. Ritz? Saltines? Graham? Do tell...

I just ate an unhealthy amount of BBQ.

Found out the bar down the street was running specials on Shiner. $1.25 pints. In related news, I woke up dehydrated and with a headache this morning.

Iowa State - West Virginia moved to the day after Thanksgiving, 2:30 PM on ABC. That might be fun.

I like whoever has the sig around here to the effect of "I've been part of baseball for parts of seven different decades now, and never, in all this time, have I ever seen anything like this" - Hawk, about anything.

QUOTE (mataipaepae @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 05:53 PM) Write just throwing s*** out. No need to take it personal! Wonder how realistic the hanley ramirez trade would sound before it went down? You would have said the same stupid s***. Theo would be fired on the spot.

Yeah, it'd never happen. Kinda neat to think if we were in first after the deadline and got Buehrle, the atmosphere for his first start back at the Cell. Again, it'd be neat if we were ignoring the money, but we can't. Otherwise, he'd be a hell of a fit.

QUOTE (mataipaepae @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 05:47 PM) The cubs are fire selling too. Beckham, a top product, humber, another prospect To chicago for starling castro. Comes in and plays second. None of that is close to having any basis in reality.

I'm still not convinced that we're not just trying to drive the price up on Greinke.

If I was a GM that needed a SS somewhere, I'd really try to buy low on Alexei. We won't move him, but I'd try to get him if I wanted a long term solution.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:40 PM) Adam is simply Dunn-ing all over the place right now, you're invited to choke down the sweet nectar of Adam Dunn's mammoth spluge bombs. You're f***ing welcome, America. If this was Facebook, I'd click "Like". If this was Twitter, I'd retweet.

Really nice win. Back in first, b****es!

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:12 PM) Stupid choice. Never pitched in the AL. Why give AL scouting a chance? All I can figure is cause he is already warm.

YES.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:02 PM) My Lord we're gonna hear the hell out of that for weeks... I sure hope so.

hahahaha Adam. how long did he watch that one fly?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 09:59 PM) -I should explain. (Typing too fast in the game thread.) They do like Myers to close but RV loves Reed. It's more that Reed is being asked about, than KW "souring" on him. But they do have concerns and put a huge emphasis on self-scouting. (Santos). This makes more sense. We've been pretty good in terms of self scouting if we choose to move some one while they still have value.

Nice job, Alejandro! If you're gonna get thrown out, run into the ball.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 09:50 PM) Myers was acquired to close down the stretch. KW has soured on Reed and is looking to package him from what I know which isn't much right now..., I hope that isn't true.

goddamnit gordon

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) A very underrated story on soxtalk the last 24 hours is that KW tried to acquire Ichiro. Did he try to or was it still that he just inquired?

Really nice at bat by Tyler. Gordon, don't make me want to club a seal here.

I'd expect to see Thornton get the 8th.

Juan Pierre would have tripled there.
