QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 01:28 PM) Jon Heyman from SI is reporting the White Sox were right there in the Cliff Lee sweepstakes, but the M's wanted Gordon Beckham. He says the White Sox are still one of the most active teams out there trying to improve their club. Good to hear.

Run scores, but Callaspo gets picked off.

WP. They're probably going to score in this inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 01:26 PM) Hudson has no command of anything so far. He's thrown a couple of real good changeups. But the control on the fastball has been bad.

The control just hasn't been there.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 01:24 PM) I have to use Gameday for this game, but it looks like the ump is squeezing Hudson on the strike zone. Comments? Not really.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) Heyman reports the Sox tried for Lee, said no when Seattle wanted Gordon. DFH: KK Yeah, thought so.

Good changeup.

That one slipped.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 01:15 PM) I hate watching Juan Pierre. f*** a DH, lets get a real leadoff man. All he does is swing at everything and make weak contact. Ugh.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 01:14 PM) I am not sure if anyone even saw it but on the strikeout of Pods, the ball hit the ump, so a big break for us as he definitely would have reached base... I almost thought Pods might have hit that ball.

Hudson's average fastball is going for 94.3 MPH right now.

Nice inning.

Huddy's got a lot of good movement on that fastball.

Stupid Jason Kendall.

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.
