QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 02:40 PM) I actually had a dream the other day that our pitching staff was made out of aliens, like out of this world, aliens. Don't ask. The Monstars from Space Jam?

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 02:23 PM) Youk gets a day off Escobar will be playing 3rd base today Fine by me. I would rather see Youk rest today, but play all 3 games this weekend.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 12:39 PM) Can we please not get into naming names? This isn't the Red Scare. caulfield spends an awful lot of time in China, so we should keep an eye out on him

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 11:30 AM) so ubaldo loads up the bases with two outs and who comes to bat? 38 yr old hideki matsui and his .165 avg. of course he strikes out,just as useless as fukudome was *sigh* In his first 3 games he had 2 HRs & 4 RBI. In the 27 games since then, 0 HRs, 3 RBI

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 11:15 AM) As long as he doesn't face Cabrera, Fielder or Victor Martinez.

Never stepped foot in one, but that's due to location, not by choice

Ubaldo @ Price, 11:10 CT Williams @ Scherzer, 12:05 CT No work shall be done this afternoon

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 10:22 AM) I can't believe only one Braun vote so far. He is, IMO, the BEST hitter in all of baseball. Kemp is a close second. Need to see more of Trout before I put him up there, even though he has been spectacular thus far. CarGo is right there too. I'm a huge Braun fan and somehow omitted him from my list. I think I took into account offense & defense, not just hitting ability, which kept him out of my top three.

I have a hunch the new CBA will close the loophole that allows deals like this: Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger Weber will receive $14 mil in each of 1st 4 years. $12 mil in next 2 yrs. $6mil in following 4 yrs...then $3mil and $1mil, $1mil,$1mil,$1mil

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 09:04 AM) One would have to believe so. However, one more disaster like that, not sure what Ventura will come up with. Going by the Royals' series (especially the extra inning game) and the fact that Santiago was the first reliever in last night, you'd have to say he's fallen to the bottom of the pecking order for the time being. Either he fell to the bottom of the pecking order, or they are trying to stretch him out again in middle relief. Which would be a very ass backwards way of doing things.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 08:56 AM) That is all about how much cash people are putting on specific teams. which is why the Cubs always have such low odds to win the WS, even with this year's roster

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 07:57 AM) In Ventura's mind, Septimo has already passed him anyway. Having a 3rd lefty is luxury. Even after Monday's performance?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 08:03 AM) Nice recall! I actually felt sorry for Munoz that day. What year was that? Ozzie would not take him out, then we scored a bunch of runs later, not enough to win obviously. Not one of Ozzie's better games, either. Munoz actually made it back to the Show, pitched a game or two with Mets, I believe. June 19, 2004

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 07:53 AM) You called that one totally, unfortunately you were right. Does Hernandez get sent down and other pitcher called up for the weekend until Floyd comes back? Yup. Donnie Veal has already been called up

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 01:13 AM) WHOA. 14 year, 100+ million offer sheet signed by Shea Weber with the Flyers. Whoa. That's like two Ilya Bryzgalov contracts. I think Nashville almost has to sign him, especially after losing Suter. If not, they would get two 1sts, a 2nd, & a 3rd. Unless the AAV is over $8.4 mil, then it would be 4 first round draft picks.

Deja vu. Score in the 1st, then let Boston tie it up

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 06:47 PM) Detroit 5-1 up. Damn. Perfect time for CJ Wilson to have his worst start of the season

Nice to see Paulie going the other way to beat the slump

Damnit Dunn. Would have preferred a strikeout there.

De Aza likes himself some chew

Good start ADA, off the Monster

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 05:33 PM) Well, Hawk is clearly full of s***: after being traded to the Indians early in the 1969 season Hawk went on to play 6 games at Fenway that season in an Indians uniform. The thing is: that HR didn't take place until his 29th and final AB of the 6 games. The only scenario in which this is feasible is if the Fenway faithful gave him 29 standing ovations or 1 final standing O for his last AB of the series and then did not cheer him again by default since his next AB in that park wouldn't come until the following season. A month or two ago on "Who Ya Crappin", someone had another great example like that. I don't remember the details, but Hawk said something about hitting in a few homers in a certain park (maybe KC), but a quick glance at Baseball Reference proved him 100% full of s***.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 04:45 PM) Humber is pitching on sunday If it's him or Axelrod, I guess I would choose Humber too. I guess.
