I'm getting a LeBron jersey if this is going down.

Cowley was on the Score today talking about how Bobby had trouble locating his fastball on the corners and everything was center cut. Coop or somebody else fixed him, apparently. And now he's back to form. This makes sense since Bobby changed his delivery from the windup this year.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:20 PM) just imagine if we dominated the Cleveland Indians like we are suppose to, then we would be the best team in MLB. We'd be 7 games over if we were 8-4 against them. Not convincing enough for best team in baseball.

LaRoche has an option for 2011, so I think giving up somebody like Morel + Retherford would be a fair return.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:02 PM) Thats why I think they are going after Johnson, as the rumor is he'll take an under max deal from the Bulls. If you can pair Johnson up with LeBron, I don't care. Johnson's a nice #2 to have, but no matter what, he can't be your #1. Look what's happened to Atlanta these past couple of years.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:56 PM) Pena's come up huge for this team time and time again, he's been outstanding in his role. When your ERA is 4.46 as a reliever but you have a WPA of 0.49 you're obviously doing something right. He's had a couple of really bad outings in meaningless games. Other than that, he's been big.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:52 PM) That JJ Putz signing is looking f***ing awesome right about now. He's got a 0.79 WHIP and a 11.1 K/9, great life on his fastball and that devastating splitty, what a pickup. The back end of the bullpen has been nails for us. If you hope to win the division that's a necessity. A combo of Santos, Putz, Thornton, and Jenks is just deadly. Now if only we can get somebody to replace Randy Williams. Pena's also been pretty solid.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:41 PM) I think a lot of credit goes to the Blackhawks. Since they won the Cup, the Sox have gone 12-1. The only game the Sox lost was when the Hawks were in attendance, and the Sox just got too nervous from being in their awesome presence. 2.5 games back, WOW!!! It's rubbing off.

I am somewhat afraid of the Cubs coming in and beating us. Don't know why, but it's just a feeling. When was the last time this team won 10 games in a row?

Twins down to their last out. Think about it, had the freaking Phillies bullpen held on, we'd be 1.5 back.

Brew Crew up 5-0. We could be 2.5 back.

SWEEEEEEP. Best baseball this team has played since 2006.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:12 PM) Wade has already stated that he would gladly be the #2 if Lebron came to Miami. But I'm not holding my breath. And I said I have a 20 foot vertical.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:17 PM) CHAD QUALLS I have to ask, but are you a ninja?

QUOTE (shawnhillegas @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:16 PM) EPIC FAIL on the scouting report. Who throws Paulie a first pitch fastball? Chad Qualls. Now Saito.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:14 PM) Rios really couldn't have ph there? 2-0 Sox on Paulie's blast! Chyeahhhh

Kotsay sucks.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) Wow. A Thursday day game? Really? Good things happen when you're winning.

We took our run expectancy down by .2 runs with that bunt.

We broke 30k today with 31,000.

And unless you're backed up against a wall, you don't want Joe Johnson.

I like this Putz/Thornton/Jenks combo.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) At this point everything comes down to Chicago vs. Miami. If Miami continues what they are doing, they are going to be able to offer Lebron and Bosh a chance to play with Wade, play under Pat Riley, live in South Beach, and pay no state tax........ There is no way in hell LeBron wants to share the spotlight with Wade.

Nice play by the Tank.

There's the inning. Another no decision for Gavin. What a bunch of crap.
