QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 09:38 PM) When the Sox were 24-33, they had 30 games until the All-Star break, and you would have loved it if they went 20-10, to get to 44-43 at the break. Now they have 14 games until the break, and they BETTER NOT go 5-9 until the break to be 44-43. I'm greedy. Let's go 11-3 and have 50 wins and be in first place at the break. They better go at least 9-5. These next 4 games are all winnable.

Was it over when the Astros were 15-30? I remember saying that in one of those "I give up" threads. I then went on to say that it was pretty much over. Man I wish I took that last line back, I'd be looking that much smarter.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 09:21 PM) he also had no strikeouts, he's definitely not the same pitcher as he was prior to having fluid drained from his elbow He's still throwing heat up there. But yeah, it seems like the location just isn't as good.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 09:18 PM) If I turn out to be wrong I'll gladly apologize (not that it would mean anything). He's going to get hot sometime, but there's only 3 weeks until the ASG and only two weeks until they reveal the rosters. I highly doubt that his future hot streak will get him into a respectable batting average for the average Joe to actually accept him as an all-star.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 09:05 PM) You realize Girardi is the AL manager? Yes, but even he has to save his reputation a little bit. You don't take a guy hitting .230 to the ASG.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 08:46 PM) Jesus, Matt had the look of a crazy man on his face when handing out high fives. He literally threw nothing but fastballs. I'm a little concerned about him. His arm slot looks different now than it did before he had that little elbow problem.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) Posted this in the gamethread... It's going to be hilarious (in a bad way) when Girardi ends up taking Teixeira over PK for the all-star team. Can't get on the fans for being flaming f***ing idiots when the managers are just as pathetic. Tex his hitting .230. He's not going.

5 over, man.

Second place!

Peter Moylan missed the outside corner by about 6 inches and got away with it against Damon and the Tigers with the bases loaded. Thank you umpire.

I thought he was safe. But that's a nice throw. 5 shutout innings for Freddy. Some of the breaking balls he's been throwing have been incredibly nasty. Incredible late movement with downward action.

I swore Danks wanted to say "s***", but stopped himself.

God we had so many chances. Was Altidore hurt? Certainly looked like he wasn't full speed the whole game. And the U.S. approach at the end was terrible. They were trying their luck far too much by just lobbing passes in and hoping something good happens. I guess that's what happens when you're tired.

Why did Fox push this game to 6...?

Johan's been regressing like crazy. His K rate is way down and he's giving up more home runs.

4-0 now. Young with an RBI double.

2-0 Twins already.

lol ESPN fail.

Johan is looking bad.

Man, Jenks' WHIP still sucks after such a great month. Tells you how bad he was to begin the year.

http://www.examiner.com/x-490-Chicago-Bull...ms-on-his-terms LeBron will have his own little summit, where the Bulls, Heat, Clippers, Cavs, Nets, and Knicks will present to him.

Overreaction much? Jeez.

That wasn't really true... Here's to hoping that Freddy is in good form for tomorrow. Because bad Freddy is really bad.

Freddy Garcia = NL-tamer.

I think we should all be rooting heavily for the Mariners. The more the Twins' lead shrinks, the more inclined they are to go after Cliff Lee. So hope the M's get back into this somewhat and hold on to Lee. Because Minnesota definitely has the prospects to get him.
