QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) June 23rd looks like it makes sense.. Sox just getting off a series with the Cubs, Orioles just getting into town for a series with the Cubs.. Both teams off.. though we'll have to travel to the west coast, so that would eliminate the travel day, which kind of sucks. Meh. Just play the game at noon, and fly out after the game.

Wow, Dewayne Wise hitting .382 on the season.

From glancing at the schedule, im seeing June 23rd as the date. Both teams are in town, and have the day on that day.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 02:20 PM) And he may be the shortest player in that league. For serious, I liked him in college ever, good hitter, gets on base. 5'9", damn.

How many times in grade school were you called Ely John? What would you say are your best pitches you throw?

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 11:44 AM) Floyd pitches tomorrow against the Yankees. But why were they switched?

Any reason why Floyd is getting skipped or pushed back? Its his scheduled day to pitch. Maybe they dont want him to lose confidence vs. New York, so they skip him?

What do we know about Ely John? At Winston-Salem, he has 19 IP, 16 H, 4 ER, 1.89 ERA, 1 BB, 15 K's, 0.89 WHIP. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=518655 Also he is 22 years old. Will he see him in AA Birmingham this season? And what's the report on this guy?

Charlotte has had like what, 3 straight games PPD? And Winston Salem missed like their first 4 or something? Crazy.

oh lord....

Hmm. I was 90% sure whatever site I read said 88 instead of '78. Nevermind then, I was wondering why we never heard of this guy if he was so young, and doing well.

Whats the prognosis on Dewayne Wise? I looked at his numbers, and he is hitting for high average, like 4 HR, and is 6/7 in stolen bases. Sounds like he is good average/power/speed player. Not sure if this is just an abberation, or if he is for real. Haven't heard much on this NEWLY 20 year old OF.

Floyd and Danks have combined to go 3-1 with a 2.30 ERA.

Sweet. Im really glad we got Hernandez back. Everyone thought it was a big mistake to let him go, and now we got him back. 25K is more than worth it.

That is now 4 ER in the last 46 IP for a team ERA of 0.78 over that span. WOW.

Newest fan club, just started.

If I recall, Broadway had a great start for us last year in his Majorlegue debut. I just looked up Broadway's major league stats. He only pitched 10 innings for us last season, and in 5 innings vs. Righties, Lance had 10 K's, and no walks. Holy s***. Talk about a Righty killer!

I would be happy with a split considering Oakland owns our ass.

In his first start at Class High-A Winston Salem, Poreda threw 5 innings (Game shortened by electrical failure), gave up 5 hits, 1 ER, 3 BB, and had 2 K's. Not good with those 3 BB. At least he didn't really let them score much, but still, 3 BB is not encouraging for 5 IP.

I couldn't get a shot from the other side because of course everyone wanted to view the thing from 2 feet away, completely obstructing everyone with a camera.

I think we need to see how Gavin does against teams that AREN'T the Tigers. No doubt he owns the Tigers, but lets see that transfer to teams like Oakland, Minnesota, Cleveland, ect.

Swisher coming up? He was announced injuried with a hipflexor. WHy risk this?

I bet either Anderson, Alexei, or both start today. OF - Swisher-Anderson-Dye IF - Crede-Uribe-Alexei-Konerko

I saw the Konerko one, not bad, but I've seen better.

Why isn't Ramirez batting 9th? I dont want Crede and Uribe hitting behind him, he will be stranded on base everytime. Put Alexei 9th, and let him get on base for Swisher or Cabrera to send him around the bases.
