QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 04:06 PM) Overall record, he gets at least an A-. He's the best ERA-wise of any reliever on the team. In 16 innings of work... His ERA two weeks ago was 5 something. I personally don't like to use ERA for relievers, but I wouldn't even think much of it if it was in just 16 innings of work. Unless it was above 7. That just means you're terrible. Outside of ERA, nothing says Brian Bruney is a good reliever deserving of an A.

As long as they don't pop up in my face, I'm good. It costs a lot of money to run a forum and I totally understand the decision.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 12:56 PM) Morel has gotten a lot of D's. I think that's kinda harsh considering how solid he's been with the glove. I don't care if he's Evan Longoria on defense. Fact of the matter is, I'd rather see Pierre at the plate than Morel right now. Morel's lack of power, lack of patience, and his .250 batting average makes a really really bad offensive player. What's with all the As for Brian Bruney? This board was yelling DFA 2 weeks ago when his name came up.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 10:21 PM) That's terrible. Anyway, Jose Bautista with another two HRs. I believe that's 98 HRs since mid-Sept of '09. f***ing amazing. Oh, and Mike Trout can fly. Rolen is going because Aramis Ramirez refused to go. Everything about him just says lazy ass.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 01:26 AM) Looks like the comments to the article speak this is a non story. Some of them are funny. D@mn I need some straight news... Has Roethlisberger sexually assaulted in hotties lately?

Wrong place for the joke, obviously. But it's still funny.

It could be worse. Just look 8 miles north. But I agree, changes must be made.

lol Anthony Swarzak looking like Stephen Strasburg.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 02:16 PM) It's not like he was throwing his normal velocity prior to the injury either though. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...ion=P#pitchtype Not a huge difference.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 02:15 PM) Definitely mysterious what happened to his stuff. Surgery...?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) I think at this point it's safe to say Peavy is at least a semi bi-product of Petco Park. It's not like he's giving up a ton of home runs at the Cell. His peripherals this year are fine.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) Looks like he was sitting on an offspeed pitch. Just amazes me how Peavy of 2006 would have just gassed these hitters above the belt. He's not locating well enough with the fast stuff. Doesn't help that the ump's been somewhat inconsistent.

What pisses me off more than anything is that their piece of s*** hitters like Butera actually contribute. While ours don't do jack s***.

A two out rally. Yuck. Peavy got pissed at the ump and this is what happens...

You wonder why the Sox can't get hits on the bunts they usually fail to put down.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 01:33 PM) Ball two to Toyotatireski (sp?) looked like an outside strike to me Nishioka.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 01:22 PM) A bit of concern in the 1st inning for Peavy as he gave up two singles, but gets out of it with a line out to third. Sems to have a hard time getting loose before the game I am thinking He's been bad since that game where he pitched 4 innings of relief.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 01:16 PM) Ben Revere is a good lookin' player. Thank you Hawk.

I am addicted to L.A. Noire.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 10:30 AM) CF has still been a black hole for us since 2006, though. It sure wasn't a black hole last season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:05 PM) I'll never understand the hate for Jeter. And Joe, you're really complaining that the man with 5 rings from New York is getting more attention than someone who's never won a World Series and hit 600 home runs in the steroid era? It's not necessarily his fault people hate him. One peek at ESPN this week and you'll see why people dislike Derek Jeter. Maybe not as a person, but they just hate the idea of him. He's one of the most overrated players in the history of the game or at least of this era. Once again, not his fault, just the media's and the people who think of him as a god.

Earn your damn contract JFP. You could save your manager's job. But then again, I don't want that to happen...

Haha wow.
