QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 10:47 PM) I don't literally mean that. But I do think they're the most obnoxious fanbase there is. At least they know their baseball (for the most part). I say Cubs fans are worse.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 10:48 PM) Braves might become even more desperate now that their division rivals just grabbed a significant upgrade. They're going to win the wild card unless they start playing like crap. The D'backs and Cardinals/Pirates/Brewers aren't better than Atlanta.

It's amazing how one hitter can change how good a lineup looks: Before 1. Rollins 2. Polanco 3. Utley 4. Howard 5. Victorino 6. Ibanez 7. Brown 8. Ruiz After 1. Rollins 2. Victorino 3. Utley 4. Howard 5. Pence 6. Brown 7. Polanco 8. Ruiz Having that good right handed hitter to break up the lefties means a lot. We might have gotten half the haul Houston got for Quentin. Good for the Phillies though. And I love how this thread turned into a tweenage girl discussion for half a page. xD

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 09:59 PM) Melky's struggles appear to have been his own fault. He was out of shape and overweight the last few years. This past off-season he moved to Miami and worked out with A-Rod... Haha, we know why he's back in shape and playing well now don't we?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 09:58 PM) Oh yes. Please believe me when I say this. I respect the f*** out of that organization. But Red Sox fans? I'd rather see the Cubs win a title before the Red Sox win another. Red Sox fans are disgusting and they need to be executed. They think the baseball world revolves around them. They're much worse than Yankees fans. That seems a little harsh doesn't it?

Very nice win. Back at .500. Will we ever go above .500?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) Ed Wade I'd say Moore is worse as well. Mozleiak's bad at his job as well. Half the teams in the NL Central have bad GMs.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 02:44 PM) The eventual acquisition of Roy Williams reminds me too much of Muhsin Muhammed but with a bad attitude. Didn't Muhammad come off a 1400 yard season the year the Bears signed him?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 07:57 AM) I saw this while stuck in traffic this morning. Absolutely awesome.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) morgan: 66 g, .319, 3 , 23, 400k rios: 97 g, .208, 6 , 23, 12m yea they should be thrilled to have rios When Nyjer Morgan has a season where he has an .360+ wOBA while playing great defense in a full-time role, call me. As bad as Rios is this year, he still has the talent and potential to be a good player. Nyjer Morgan is what he is, a Juan Pierre duplicate.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 07:27 PM) and like it was mentioned,they have nyjer morgan whos doing better than rios is. so doesnt make much sense at all If we don't like Juan Pierre now, why the hell should Brewers fans like Juan Pierre Junior?

Well, the Brewers have Nyjer Morgan and Carlos Gomez as their CFers. It wouldn't hurt for them to take on Rios' salary and hope he turns it around.

No mention of the Beltran deal yet in here?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 08:23 PM) Jacoby Ellsbury has officially become the top premier leadoff man in the AL. Maybe all of baseball. Only other guy in the discussion is Jose Reyes. When the hell did he develop .500 SLG power?

And who would we trade to them...?

Get this...the White Sox have the best Pythagorean W-L record in the AL Central at 52-51. WTF?

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:25 PM) Huge upcoming series with Bos and NYY coming I have a feeling the Sox will actually play well in those. It's just how this team functions.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:18 PM) Rios is going to ride the bench for three years. He's check out of baseball entirely, and will retire once this joke of a deal ends. The Blue Jays They sure do. He also gave them the pieces to acquire Colby Rasmus.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:17 PM) The long awaited de-Royaling is finally complete, no? Unless I'm forgetting someone. We are now ex-Royals free I believe.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 04:07 PM) The white sox are the only team in the Central with a positive run differential. We have a positive run differential?!?!?!

Nice series win. But I still don't believe in this team. They just can't hit...

Edwin was really fun to watch when he had good control. The guy has ace stuff, but his control is mediocre at best.

2 more.

I guess Sale is in against Betemit...

8, 9, and 1 for Santos.
