WOOO Daniel Hudson!

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 12:51 PM) McLouth isn't a poor defender. Never deserved the GG, but he can get the job done in CF but would be more than adequate in RF, a lot better than Quentin. Problem is, he's forgotten how to hit. Like you said though, if the Braves were just giving him away, I'd have no problem with bringing him and seeing if he can learn how to hit again. McLouth's just not a center fielder. What's encouraging about McLouth is that his batted ball rates are in line with what they were last year, except he's raised the infield fly ball percentage, which is extremely dreaded, as you can imagine. However, that shouldn't be a reason why he's hitting .176. It just looks like he's not making any solid contact. When he hits line drives, he's hitting .684 on them, which is below league average, but not totally weird. However, he's hitting .133 on grounders and .179 on fly balls. Those are extremely low rates. He has no extra base hit on a ground ball, which means he must not be hitting the ball with a lot of authority. McLouth makes $6.5 million next year with an option for 2012 for $11 million. If they're just going to give them away, why not.

QUOTE (NIUSox @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 01:42 AM) I don't know if anyone put this in here but I saw this on a friends' facebook. Fathead.com, an online retailer owned by Cavs owner Dan Gilbert dropped the price of its LeBron Fathead wall decals from $99.99 to $17.41, which happens to be the same year Revolutionary War traitor Benedict Arnold was born. Hahaha, Oh Dan Gilbert HAHAHA lawl, this guy is trying everything.

Most broadcasters don't. Just look at Tim McCarver.

I almost want the Sox to face Greinke instead of Lerew.

Mark Cuban is going to ask the league about the Heat and about possible tampering. At the least, he's going to try and suggest some player tampering rules.

^The Cards aren't doing any better.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) It looks like big frank is yelling this angrily when I look at your avatar I laughed out loud twice. I did because it makes so much sense.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 08:26 PM) Why not Texas? Their starting 1B is Chris Davis who is a train wreck, they have a strong farm system, sure they can't take on any salary but they showed yesterday that they're 100% willing to give up a few extra prospects in exchange for cash and that's exactly what the Astros are looking for. Dinero and the Rangers' lack of it could be a reason.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) Starter? Obviously Cabrera deserves it more. Totally.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) These numbers might be a bit off but the Sox had 24 wins after 57 games or something. Now they have 24 wins after 29 games. Way to catch fire! Seriously. 10 games over now. A win tomorrow would be the icing on the cake. 3.5 games up on the Twinkees, who are Morneau-less until after the ASB. He might not even play in that series against us, depending on how serious this concussion is.

Hell yeah!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) Is Bobby hurt? Why Pena warming up? Good out, Putz. Nice pitch. It's a 4 run lead. Don't worry, Bobby's fine.

Quentin's OPS is reaching .850. Simply amazing what this team has done over the past month, both on a team and individual basis.

Inning over.

Gavin Floyd - another case why FIP is great.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 08:01 PM) That was a cheap single by Omar. Followed by an unlucky liner. Things even out sometimes.

Epic duel going on. Halladay and Travis Wood are in a no score game. Wood has a perfect game going.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) It's amazing how Avilas waves the bat like Yaz. Don't tell Hawk.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) Why is Gavin so good right now compared to earlier in the year? He's masterful. Luck and less bad pitches.

Hot damn, it's tied at 0 too.

RealGM people say there's some rumor going around saying the Bulls are going after Courtney Lee.

17 home runs, damn.

Carlos Quentin, TCQ again!

HE'S ALIVE!
