QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 7, 2010 -> 09:53 PM) Thornton can't close until you get another guy can do his job as well as he does on this ballclub. If you just mean a reliever, I trust Santos/Putz. If you mean a lefty....then no, we don't have a replacement. But either way... Closer>Set-up man

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 7, 2010 -> 02:22 PM) Bah, I don't feel like it is, especially if you weigh yourself at a different time each day (i.e. before or after a meal, before or after a bathroom break), or while wearing different clothes. I talked to my brother who frequents the gym (he is basically the opposite of me, body size wise) and he weighed himself at the gym, and then at home and they gave him the same reading, so I think I can trust the one at home, and if I can, that means I am actually down 12 pounds this month, which is awesome.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 7, 2010 -> 06:58 PM) Yep, and that's why Comcast is the worst cable provider in the nation. I used to get CLTV, but I don't anymore. But guess what? My prices never dropped! Getting less, paying the same... the American way! Yep. I get back from school last night, and my first day of summer actually being able to watch Sox games, and it's on CLTV. Ugh. At least I was only planning on watching the first 1 1/2 HRs anyway since the Hawks are on at 8:30.

Just weighed myself on the scale at home (since I am back from school), and it says I am 260.5. I would really like to believe it, but I am not sure. My brother assures me it should be accurate since it was expensive, but I don't want to get too optimistic. The one at the gym is the one I have been using, but 80% of the time the scale was not balanced properly, so even when it was balanced, maybe it was still off? A 4 pound difference is pretty big......

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 6, 2010 -> 12:45 PM) That went to Robinson Cano and his .400/.436/.765/1.201 April line. Hmm...Yeah, I guess Cano deserved that.

Did he get AL player of the month too?

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ May 5, 2010 -> 11:24 PM) words don't describe how much I hate the Canucks, suck it b****es!!!!!! Team full of douchebags.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:29 PM) I know nothing about pitching, but Hochevar's pitching mechanics look odd. Like he could blow out his arm at any second. According to Gameday, he can throw his fastball, cutter, and sinker all at 93+ MPH. That seems a bit excessive on his arm.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:24 PM) Getz was a below-average 2b last year. I don't know if the numbers have shifted, and if he's improved, but he was very poor last year. Especially compared to Jayson Nix. He was average last year, or slightly below. He was not "very poor". And Jayson Nix was actually a pretty good defender at 2B.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:13 PM) Because UZR is a flawless measuring stick. Just look at Jason Bay! He's had a small sample size and he was poor last year. Again, like I just said to someone else, whether it's a small sample size or not you can't say "He is hitting .190 with his usual sloppy D" if he is actually playing very good defense. If you are going to make a point using one sample size (batting avg), then you have to accept both sample sizes (his defense).

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:09 PM) Small sample size. 1 month of UZR is like 10 days of hitting statistics. Well either way, saying he has his "usual sloppy D" in a season in which he has been great makes no sense, regardless of sample size.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 4, 2010 -> 07:59 PM) Just wanted to point out that Getz is hitting .190 while playing his usual sloppy D without a trace of power. Usual sloppy D? You mean his 18.3 UZR150 this season, which makes him the 2nd best 2B in the AL right now (behind Beckham)?? While Teahen has an AMAZING -37.6 UZR/15 right now, which puts him as the 2nd worst in the majors?

What did Konerko do? Gameday makes me think he snagged a ball, touched 1B, and threw it home and AJ made the tag?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 4, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) Based on what, 22 games at AA. Lets let Morel mature a bit before we promote him. I am praying Morel makes it to AAA before season's end. I can't stand Teahen.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2010 -> 07:49 PM) Chances he's another acquisition that gets unloaded after the season because he didn't fit it? I hope so. I'd rather have Morel at 3B right now than Teahen.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 4, 2010 -> 07:28 PM) That's some real nice offense right there. Meanwhile Jim Thome has the Twins up early. Jim Thome - 39 years old - $1.5 salary - .278 AVG, 5 HR, 15 RBI, .409 OBP, .630 SLG, 1.039 OPS, 0 SB, CAN'T PLAY DEFENSE Andruw Jones-33 years old - $.5 salary - .284 AVG, 8 HR, 13 RBI, .400 OBP, .687 SLG, 1.087 OPS, 5 SB, CAN PLAY 3 OF positions, and well. Stop whining.

Hochaver must throw awfully hard. Gameday has him w/ a 95 MPH sinker. Hmm...

QUOTE (gatnom @ May 4, 2010 -> 07:20 PM) The same Getz that's hitting .171 right now? Yep.

God I love Teahen! So glad we traded Getz for him.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 4, 2010 -> 06:57 PM) I think I just saw Carlos shaking hands with kids. That's DANGEROUS. For which one?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 4, 2010 -> 03:48 PM) Jones has already had issues with back spasms. Well Jones is playing LF. I care about Quentin's health over Jones' and Pierre's. DH Q-uperman.

Weighed myself again today. Down almost 8 pounds total. I always weigh myself BEFORE I work out though, so hopefully after tonight's workout, I am down to 264 or lower. Starting Weight (4/7/10) - 272 LB Trips to Gym - 11 times Current Weight (5/7/10) - 264 LB Total Loss: 8 lbs So 8 lbs in the first month.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:45 PM) JP has given up 1 ER in his last 12 1/3 IP. I think he's figured it out. And like 3 hits. and 15 Ks.

2 Gordons on one team? Can it be done?
