QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 17, 2011 -> 08:53 PM) Well....if he is talking about how awesome this pitcher has been against us, he is telling the truth. Awesomeness overall? Not so much. He is just saying how this guy has amazing stuff and if he can hit the strike zone, no one is going to touch him. Then going to on to say if he doesnt have arm injuries, he will be a big league pitcher for a long time.

Hawk is telling us how amazing this pitcher is. Please Hawk, stop making excuses for this "offense"

I think 80% of us here could have converted that ground ball for an out. It was like a 4 hopper right at him.

Viciedo is 1/1 with a BB so far. Milledge hit a 2-run HR.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 17, 2011 -> 08:38 PM) Danks may not make it out of the 5th inning. Or maybe the 2nd.....

Danks may not make it out of the 5th inning.

QUOTE (onedude @ May 17, 2011 -> 08:33 PM) Could've predicted that first inning You da man.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 17, 2011 -> 07:32 PM) Petricka just left the game. Injured his back somehow according to the Play-by-Play. Aw, son of a b****. I hope it's just tightness and nothing serious.

I'm not going to start hating on McPherson until he gives me a reason to. At this point, I'm hoping for mediocracy.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 17, 2011 -> 06:30 PM) Lillibridge will be terribly overexposed, but I can honestly say I'd rather see him playing LF and leading off for 3-4 weeks than Pierre at this point. He always hustles, he seems to truly value the opportunity to be on a major league roster the second time around and he's been a valuable contributor as a hitter after looking totally overmatched in his first go-round with us. I'm sure he would have a better stolen base % and play defense more than adequately. Doesn't matter what we think, though. Don't forget it's fun to read his tweets.

CSN+? I'm not even sure if I can watch this game....

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2011 -> 10:15 AM) I don't want to live on this planet any more. Sweet.

I have some friends who do this. And I love seeing new pictures they post because they happen to have bubble butts. And yes, they are females, thank you very much.

Drew Lee continues to tear it up.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 16, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) I know that Morel has historically struggled at first offensively at each level of the minors. Can someone with more knowledge of prospects tell me how long those struggles usually lasted? From what I recall from last year, it took about 3-4 weeks for him to finally start clicking, and then he would tear it up until he peaked around .320 average or so. This is why I gaurenteed that Morel would have a much better May than April, but then of course he got benched about a week into May, even though he is hitting .292 in May.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 17, 2011 -> 03:13 AM) Omar isn't the everyday answer. Tell me again why they moved Viciedo to the outfield? He couldn't beat out Morel or his defense was awful at third? Why move him to the outfield if he can't play outfield better than Juan? Bingo. Not very good at 3B, and considering Morel had a great glove in the minors, and his offense was coming around, the best idea was to move him to the OF, especially since our minor league OF talent is so damn thin.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 16, 2011 -> 06:23 PM) link A spokesman from Minute Maid Park told MailOnline the athletic fan received jail time, a fine and a lifelong ban from Major League Baseball parks. Wow, that's some bulls***. No way they enforce that anyway.

So basically they are giving us a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff because their FREE service went down for a few weeks. Sounds like a slam dunk to me.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 16, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) Ugh, I don't know why this is such a joke to a lot of you. There is zero accountability on this team, I guess unless you're a young guy. I think Ozzie's idea of accountability is that if you are young, you MUST perform in the first couples month or so, or else you are going to be replaced. And if you are a veteran, then you can work yourself out of any slump you are in, and Ozzie will have full faith in you until your contract expires.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 16, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) too much of a chick flick for you? I just didn't find hardly anything funny about the movie.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 16, 2011 -> 04:43 PM) I didn't say anything, I was asking you to clarify what you said. Ok. Well now I have no idea what we were even arguing about.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 16, 2011 -> 05:07 PM) It looks like the normal Charlotte line up tonight, so I am guessing no DL trip is expected. I thought I heard somewhere that they have until Thursday to make a decision or something.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 16, 2011 -> 11:31 AM) So you'd defend someone being a nuisance and doing something illegal? Great attitude. While I laughed when I saw this and also thought it was funny, I hope he was caught and got to spend the night in jail. Fans shouldn't be encouraged to run on the field and an incident like this does just that. Again, this was unique so it was funny, but I also hope that other people don't start doing this because of it. Sure.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 16, 2011 -> 04:28 PM) I am just trying to see where you are coming from. Would you also say that Lance Berkman is a better hitter than Albert Pujols? It's like you are trying to say this this 40 games in the season defines a whole career or something. Is Berkman having a better season than Pujols? Absolutely. Does that mean Berkman is the better overall player than Pujols? Not even close, it just means exactly what I said, that Berkman is having a better season so far. Believe it or not, but players don't have to perform to their expectations or career norms.
