Quentin should be the one DHing.

I just have a feeling that Francis will shut us down.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 12:38 AM) It was dumb not to use Thorton. No defending that. He's now pitched once in 5 days. His usage rate was in the low to mid forty percent in 08-09. I have no reason to think he cannot do the same, but something tells me the stupid closer title will prevent him from doing that. I guess a lot of people saw this as a potential problem though. Ozzie usually plays by the manager's book of not using your closer in a road game until you have a lead.

The Royals scored 3 runs on seeing eye singles. I wouldn't make much of this game other than the fact that our bullpen needs to stop blowing leads.

Melky Cabrera and his seeing eye singles just beat us. Really?

Holy crap Escobar.

Well, he was clearly out...

Wait, what? He was in the base line.

Wow, we caught a break.

Jeffress throws some gas.

Crain was doing his best to do a Mark Buehrle impression. Except it was totally unnecessary.

We're probably gonna have to score off Soria to win this one.

At least the Bulls won.

f***...

Gordon looks like a different player.

It appears only Danks had his good stuff thus far among all our starters. Yet, none have allowed more than 4 runs. I'd say that's decent.

I saw an article about this before, where some guy at a security company tried to find out the actual members of Anonymous through social networking. Obviously, Anonymous got pissed and DoS'd that company's site, got all their emails on the mail server, and pretty much screwed a company over that was about to exchange hands to other investors. The company's owner had to beg Anonymous to stop on their IRC. Now, it wasn't a big company by any means, but it just shows what some nerdy hackers with a lot of time on their hands and good organization can do. I wouldn't underestimate them.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 08:59 PM) http://ps3.ign.com/articles/115/1159426p1.html Do the members of anonymous not realize that they are hurting PlayStation Network players by doing this s***? Sony was preventing thievery...not information sharing. Sony did go pretty far with the lawsuits. They even asked for the IPs of those who watched Geohot's video. That's trying to get private info. I'm not sure I agree with what they're doing, but Sony deserves some kind of backlash for how far they've gone with the PS3 hacking lawsuits. They didn't give a rat's ass with the PSP and PS2.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 04:30 PM) No. Yeah, it's not happening. This Royals roster has less talent on it than it did last season.

I predict a 8-6 win.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 04:38 PM) On the Tigers/O's game, they just showed the standings in the AL East since Showwalter took over, and the O's have the best record in the East since he took over. Showalter's a good tactical manager, regardless of what Ozzie says.

Melo's definitely overrated. Not all that efficient at scoring, mediocre defender at best. Yet, guys like Skip Bayless almost put him right next to LeBron.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) That's awful. Even fantasy baseball realizes it was a short week. 10 day weeks in Fantasy suck. I would have already won in our sabr league against you if the 3 games accounted for one week...lol.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 11:42 AM) I'm no sabermetrics expert, but something can't be right if Matt Garza's FIP after yesterday is -0.32. It was right...alright. 12 Ks, no walks, and no home runs given up. That's -12x2/7. The constant portion of FIP is usually 3.11. -24/7 is larger than 3. So the variable portion had a larger magnitude than the constant portion, resulting in a negative FIP. It won't last long though.

This game turned from winnable to real ugly in a matter of only 30 minutes. And Orlando f***in' Cabrera was right in the middle of it. Ugh.
