Looks like we caught a break. Morneau just kills Danks.

Bulls should just sign Brewer now. Can't hurt to have both he and Redick.

Ronnie Brewer was a hell of a player two years ago. He put up PER numbers close to Luol Deng's.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) And accusations of robotic enhancement Soon, Carlos Quentin will take Pujols' nickname "The Machine" away from him.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 03:14 PM) After tonight's shellacking they will decide to go another route. We need to hit him like we did in the last game at the dome back in 2008. Unfortunately, we lost that game. But we did score like 6 runs.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 03:11 PM) Span CF Hudson 2B Mauer C Cuddyer 1B Kubel RF Young LF Thome DH Hardy SS Punto 3B Slowey No Morneau. Somebody should really tell Gardenhire that Cuddyer is not a good guy to put in the clean-up spot. That's the spot for your best hitter.

The Bulls "low-balled" Raja Bell too, apparently. In other news, Ronnie Brewer will be a Bull if Redick is matched. ESPN says that Brewer really wants to come here.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 02:53 PM) afternoon saloon just said theres a report the bulls made an offer to shaq edit: further reported they low-balled him and shaq is probably goin to atlanta...good thing Interesting.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) I thought Ozzie loved lefty righty lefty righty in the lineup? Omar's a switch hitter.

Comment that b****es about Ozzie's lineup For reals: I marvel at why Ozzie puts back to back left handed hitters 6th and 7th, the Twins do have a nice LOOGY in Jose Mijares. This is just making it easy for Gardenhire.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 02:04 PM) If Jenks faces Thome in a late inning situation, do not throw low fastballs! I'm nervous for tonight's game. It's great feeling like the games really matter. The worst thing that can happen if we lose today is a tie for first place. I have no idea why Slowey is pitching today, he's been bad lately and he hasn't had the greatest year. Pavano's been their best starter as of late.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) I'm trying to find the actual video of that entire AB. Thank you Chris Young! Tada!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) I actually had a dream last night that we traded for Dunn. Are your dreams usually accurate?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 11:20 AM) Get used to seeing this at the Cell Talk about getting caught in the moment. That's one of the best GIFs of all time.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 11:15 AM) So you really think he'd get hammered at The Cell? Okay, well just though I'd throw it out there. Now bringing ZAMBRANO here (also a rumor, but a sleight one), now THAT makes me cringe. Go look at his AL numbers and then look at the amount of fly balls he gives up. He'd make a serviceable fifth starter, but we'd have to give up something for him.

Ted Lilly is one of those guys that tells you the disparity between the AL and NL. In all his seasons with the Cubs, he's given up nearly 50% fly balls, more than he was giving up in the AL. Yet, his HR/FB has DROPPED since moving to the NL. Call it the wind blowing in or whatever, but it just shows that the NL hitters suck.

No, no, and more no. He's going to die in this park.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 08:24 AM) lol @ people supporting Votto's b**** move. Unprofessional and stupid. Not a big deal, but, says a lot negative about the guy's idea of how the game works. Sad. To be fair, he can't be too happy about having some of the best numbers in the league and not even making the team in the first place. I have a feeling that he's a little bitter about the whole selection process (he did get tossed the day the roster were announced). I'm going to the game on Sunday, mostly to watch Halladay pitch. Should be fun.

Johnny Danks Don't stop

Very nice remix, I like what you did with the colors.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 09:08 PM) There's my remix version. Just realized this will probably be taken down due to MLB being crazy. If it is, I'll reupload it to a different site. Edit: Just discovered there is a part with Hawk sounding like a chipmunk...gonna fix that. Double Edit: Nevermind, thats in the raw video. Haha, Hawk's chipmunk voice.

lol @ people b****ing at Votto.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 09:33 PM) It's not always the wrong move. I know some people are married to the idea that you should never lay down a bunt EVER, but it's simply not that concrete. The statistic that suggests that bunting is always a bad idea is too broad and attempts to generalize a very specific strategic situation. Every potential bunting situation should be looked at on a case-by-case basis. There are occasions that the most important thing to do is get that tying/go-ahead run to second. And while Pierre does have a lot of stolen bases, he is not automatic. It is sometimes too big of a risk in close/late situations to have him get thrown out trying to steal. The only thing worse than runner at 2nd, one out is nobody on, one out. When one run matters, it isn't always a dumb idea to sac the man over...even if that guy is a stolen base threat. I have a lot of issues with bunting a speedster over to second base. If you want to bunt him to third, that's fine, you'll only increase your run expectancy that way. But when you bunt him to second, you lose run expectancy. Call it broad or what have you, but you never want to give up an out. If the Sox really need that one run, like they're down 1 and it's the 8th or 9th, I'm okay with bunting him over. The risk there of him getting caught stealing is far too large. However, if the Sox need an insurance run or you're at home and the game is tied, you need to take that risk sometimes. Ozzie always lets Pierre and Rios run in the middle of a game no matter what the situation is (including letting Pierre run with a 3-0 count the other day). Why not let them do the same in a tied game or a time where you need an insurance run? In those cases, the game is not exactly on the line. If they do get caught, you're most likely not going to lose a game because of it. But if they succeed, you really increase your chances of winning.

Now that's a fast promotion...
