QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 10:27 PM) Good thing Ventura's playing for the tie He did go to an Arsenal game during the offseason, too much soccer on his brain?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 10:20 PM) Not that it matters, but it's hard to lose a DH to Minnesota in your own ballpark. This rebuild may take a while. Was it 06 or 07 that the Sox lost a DH to Minnesota at home like 20-10, 12-0? I was there, it was much worse than this.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 10:22 PM) Problem is, the Astros bullpen is doing an amazing job of late for them (in a way to get them Rodon). They traded their closer, all part of the plan for Rodon

QUOTE (MAX @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 10:08 PM) Bonds doesn't deserve credit like this. Who would be at least a possibly clean player ? How do you know Miggy is clean?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 10:02 PM) Miggy just took Mariano deep to tie it. According to Heyman, Miggy fouled two balls off his leg, was in obvious pain, then hit the 2-run homer. Best hitter since Bonds.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 10:02 PM) Miggy just took Mariano deep to tie it. That's two in a row, he should lose his closer job. (His ERA has ballooned up to 2.08!)

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 09:42 PM) I'm always amazed how the Benrstein-ites think that being tough and competitive is a bad thing. I never said it's a bad thing. I am just saying that toughness and competitiveness don't guarantee good results.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 09:47 PM) Remember Barry Jones? Was that his name? Is he the last truly reliable setup man we've had on our Sox?I can't remember our setup guy in 05. Jesse Crain?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 09:46 PM) How the hell did the Twins end up with Clete Thomas, btw? Somebody probably brought him over as a friend, and now he just wont leave.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) How bad are the Yankees? We swept them? Wow. Girardi might be manager of the year

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 09:25 PM) Peavy with a bad performance tonight against KC. Bostonians seem to love their tough, gritty athletes like Peavy. It will interesting to see how they react if he struggles in the clutch. (again)

Great, another bust. Cut him now Rick!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 09:09 PM) Rafael Furcal MERGED with Craig Grebeck...with a little Ozuna thrown in (hopefully he flies across 1B and calls himself safe simultaneously). My guy!

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 08:59 PM) Same one. Getting married in November. Maybe it's because he is finally settling down. All that slaying kept his mind off baseball before, now he just wants to get away from her and the wedding talk, so he spends more time at the park?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 08:57 PM) So what's up with Gordo, boys? Confidence making a huge difference? New lady friend?

Even the new version of Liriano is no match for Coors Field.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 07:16 PM) 90% boos for Arod at home. No way he finishes his contract in New York. Yankees will cut him and eat his salary, maybe right when the suspension ends

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 02:38 PM) SAY IT AINT SO LEXI!!!!!!! Put him on waivers...STAT!

All morning I was positive that these games were being played in Minnesota. Oops. I was thinking about Rios having to fly from MSP to Houston for tonight's Rangers game.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 01:56 PM) I believe it cost $25,000 to claim a player thus there is no real reason for the Astros to do that as they would be giving $25,000 away. Well they aren't spending any money on payroll

All these tweets keep mentioning Garcia, and I'm so confused as to which one it is. One of them will be in Chicago ready for game 2 according to Hahn.

Thanks for the awesome HR/SB combo on my fantasy teams, players like that are hard to find.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS Rios traded to texas with $1M for ptbnl

Viciedo scratched, Danks to play CF. First time both Danks brothers are in the starting lineup together.
