Lol your first place Cleveland Indians.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ May 1, 2012 -> 11:23 AM) If the Tigers don't improve their defense, they are going to be in trouble. Already given up 10 unearned runs. That defense is just horrible. I think Tigers are the favorites to winning the division but they overachieved last year.

Just tuned in! Gordo!

I agree with the guy who asked to agree with him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 30, 2012 -> 02:16 PM) Buehrle rocked, Marlins attempting to make a comeback from 7-0 down, now 7-5. 3 of the runs were unearned, so Mark's overall ERA is still decent, in the 3's. There was just a big mix-up at the mound on a routine mile high infield pop-up and the ball ended up getting volleyballed around by the pitcher and 3B and fell to the ground. Austin Kearns drilled the next pitch out. All four of his hits this year for XB's. Going to the 8th, precarious 7-5 lead now for D-Backs. By the way, Matt Cain's waiting for them after a cross-country plane ride. Not fun. Hate to bring up the fantasy stuff, but it looks like Mark got charged with all those runs today, hopefully they correct it.

QUOTE (MAX @ Apr 30, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) I don't see it. Need glasses perhaps? 11 sec on the video, directly above umpire's head.

Some of you need to stop freaking out about Derrick not coming back to 100% unless ptatc has spoken and I've missed it. My questions is, and please excuse my ignorance, any chance Derrick wasn't 100% healthy from his ankle/foot injuries and his put more pressure on his leg/knee which caused the ACL torn? Is this even possible? Similar to Peavy changing his mechanics because of an injury and tearing his lat last year?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2012 -> 12:10 AM) Convince you of what? That Greg Walker should be brought back to work with Gordon and Brent before we give up on Gordon and (possibly) Brent for good? Morel's earned 2-3 more months, or 250-300 AB's. You can't really say the same about Beckham. The fact that he's a .221 career hitter in one of the best hitter's parks in baseball, over a 3 year period...that's more than enough evidence to convict/indict him for being a suspect and no longer a prospect. Dick said in one of the game threads that Godron Beckham is few days away from figuring things out and will start hitting.

.500 team as I see them but think about that nice little run White Sox always make during the summer. Pitching will be there but I'm slowly giving up on Beckham and Morel. Maybe Dick Allen can convince me otherwise.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 04:17 PM) I don't know if it is true or not, but I went to the game and took the UC Express back and people were saying that on the bus 5 minutes after the game, so I thought it was probably more rumor than fact at that point. This is coming from NBC Miami. take with a grain of salt.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2012 -> 03:34 AM) Two run deficits, Guillen said, "feel like we're down 20." "That's how it feels like right now," Guillen said. "And I want to get that feeling out of this area." Asked if he might shake up the lineup, Guillen said he might -- but not because any one in particular is struggling. "You cannot lose confidence in those guys," Guillen said. "As soon as you start losing confidence and being negative, bad things happen. I always say you can't win a pennant race in the beginning, but you could lose a pennant race in the beginning. "We're not winning now. We've got to pick it up and play the game right, now. Believe me with the experience I have, I've been through it before. We have to keep fighting. If we had a bad club I would say it would be tough. But I know in my heart, my soul we have a good team. "You can lose confidence early in the season, or grow up and play better. But you're not going to play worse than this. We're not going to be worse than we are right now."

RIP.

Because he deserves his own thread as well. Rippin the cover off the ball in AAA.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) Greg, it's freezing in Chicago tonight. Red Sox fans bought tickets in advance for this game, and I'm sure the walk-up sales were miserable tonight. Screw it, at this point, I don't care if the crowd is 95% visiting team fans as long as people actually show up. What's the official count tonight?

I'm really curious what Dick is seeing in Beckhams swing with his opinion last night, I would like that broken down.

I'm glad tho Tigers are getting their ass kicked. I just think we have too many black holes to catch them. Beckham, Morel, Viciedo. Danks, and Sale pitch limit.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:42 PM) f***ing well done Danks.... What a #1... Christ... (I havent seen any of the game, so I don't know if he's had defense laps or s***ty umping haha) He sucked. No excuses.

White Sox 1-4 since this thread was started. Close. Burn. Throw out the window.

I'm back to my original prediction. ~.500 team, 82 wins.

KING!
