This series...don't have a good feeling about it.

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 07:26 AM) I want KW back. I can forgive the Jackson trade because he has had many successful moves such as Santos, Humber, Danks, and so on. I would replace Ozzie before KW to find out if a different manager who uses voodoo mumbo jumbo like statistics would be able to better use the players that KW brings it. They should have replaced Walker 3 years ago to find out if the offensive problems could be solved. I feel that KW would have fired both Walker and Ozzie a long time ago if it wasn't for JR. I feel KW would be an even better GM if JR would let him run the show. The only way to know for sure is to boot Ozzie and let KW have a couple more years with a manager of his choice. With the amount of moves teams make, you can cherry pick and make any GM look good. The bottom line with Kenny is his teams have won 2 divisions in 10 years, in the largest market in the weakest division. He got the winning lottery ticket in 2005, and he gets a certain amount of credit for that, but the bottom line is his teams usually don't make the playoffs, and the minor league system sucks.

Viciedo 2-2, 2B, walk. Yes, another walk. Enough is enough, Kenny. Take Ozzie's toy away from him.

Viciedo doubled in his first AB tonight. It's time. It's been time. The Sox can get away with splitting lead off time between Rios, Ramirez, and Lillibridge. Pierre has got to go, and we have to get Viciedo's bat in this lineup asap.

High 90's/low 100's in Denver the next few days. May have 50 mph winds on Thursday afternoon.

Indians called up Chisenhall.

Tony Pena pitched in his 4th rehab appearance tonight. Like it or not, he might be back.

That Lillibridge AB is killing me. God damn this team.

If it were a Red Sox/Yankees game, it would be on ESPN Classic tomorrow.

They might have to bring up an arm for tomorrow. At least Bruney would be gone. What's the story with Pena? He still alive?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:29 PM) All three interleague series have gone L-W-W. I, for one, would like to see this trend broken tonight on our way to being over .500 on Sunday afternoon. I'll take it now.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 11:36 PM) The f***? Really? Wow, this team must have zero chemistry. It was like a few golf claps, and Peavy sitting on the top bench giggling with Morel.

MLB Network showed the Sox dugout on AJ's homer...absolutley dead. Almost no emotion.

If they lose, it's one where you wish they just would have gone 1-2-3 in the 9th, and go get 'em tomorrow. But nooooooooo...

Good teams would have finished this one off.

Teahen--have yourself a night.

I'd like to know what Quentin's personal issue is. This is professional sports.

QUOTE (aprec32 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) I'm calling for a Dunn walk off? Who's with me? I was going to post that before Nix hit the homer.

I hate this team.

Baseball made their bed. Nobody is above suspicion. But who the hell knows what goes on behind closed doors? I'm not going to worry about it until somebody fails a test, grows two hat sizes, or hits 50 homers in a season out of nowhere.

All three interleague series have gone L-W-W. I, for one, would like to see this trend broken tonight on our way to being over .500 on Sunday afternoon.

I said "may" be looking at an all-star appearance. If he has two more great starts, and is 11-5 with an ERA around 3.30, then he could be an all-star. The thought that the Diamondbacks have their obligatory all-star in Upton, and nobody else can make it, is a little premature.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:05 AM) Justin Upton would like to remind you that the D-Backs have their guaranteed spot on the roster already filled. I would like to remind you the Diamondbacks are in 1st place, the all-star game is in Phoenix, and Hudson has 9 wins. Now, while agree that win totals for starting pitchers has been reduced to almost pointlessness, I'll throw in he has 12 quality starts out of 16 starts.

Half way through interleague play...AL leads 66-60. Not too bad for the NL. AL teams are 37-20 at home with the DH, and 29-40 on the road. AL records: 7-2: Cle 6-3: Sox, NY, TB, LAA 5-4: Bos, Sea, Tex 4-5: Bal, Min, Oak 3-6: Tor, Det 2-7: KC

Hey look, another quality start for Hudson. 3.58 ERA. He may be looking at an all-star appearance.
