Can somebody finally kick Carlos Silva's ass? Please tell me Q will be starting today.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 01:51 AM) Your new manager will be Buddy Bell or Cora. Big deal. Keep Ozzie. Sports are fun. Ozzie is fun. Ozzie also likes hitting Mark Kotsay 5th and mismanages the bullpen every other game.

He said on 6 times in a row, lmao. Anyways, I don't think Colvin should be playing everyday, he should be platooning. The guy's not real good against left handed pitching. And to me, he still lacks plate discipline. He chases 38% of balls outside the zone. Once he becomes more and more exposed, he will struggle and the league will adjust.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) I don't. Both teams pulled out draws against better teams. Forlan is extremely dangerous up front. I think Uruguay advances from the group. I second this notion.

Well, the pitching's been real good the last three games. That's where it starts.

Well, the Cubs DO suck.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:54 PM) That a boy Carlos! After all this, I still love you and wish my wife would let me name our unborn son Quentin. Just point to Quentin Tarantino and she might just say yes.

Quentin's going to end up hitting his home runs. The concern will be how bad his average will be...

And Peavy says, "Cubs fans, go f*** yourselves".

A.J. Pierzynski is still the Cubs fan's worst nightmare.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:37 PM) How long do you keep Peavy in? I'd go with Thornton to start the 7th to be honest. After his last outing? I don't know... It doesn't appear that Matt is entirely healthy.

Big inning for Peavy here.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:27 PM) Fangraphs thinks he's been worth 3 wins above a replacement...assuming he was replaced by an average player. Compared to Mark Kotsay though, who'd probably be playing there, I'd guess that's like a 6-8 game difference. That's 3 wins plus the replacement level at this point. And yeah, with Kotsay being there instead, I'd say we can easily be 5 games worse.

Wells already out of the game.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:12 PM) You know damn well Oz would have been crucified for not pitching around AJ. A.J. Pierzynski has been a P.O.S. hitter this year, the last thing you want to do is put him on base for free and waste pitches while doing it.

The lower part of our order was already a black hole, now you add a pitcher to it and it's the most dangerous rally killer alive...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:08 PM) The immortal Lou Piniella pitches to AJ and he whacks it off the wall. Oz would have been crucified for the same decision. Beautiful hit AJ. Way to make 'em pay. Why would you walk A.J. in the 5th inning...? 1) He's hitting .230 something 2) It's the 5th inning

A.J. came to play. Up that trade value!

This team still can't move a runner to third to save its life.

You gotta get Konerko in here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) Way to go PK! And BTW, bunting with Konerko would be playing to lose! Fixed.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 03:01 PM) See this is wher Konerko should bunt...I know he won't and he could as easily hit a three run shot but I just want to make sure we get one of these in. Just do not try a double steal here...or hit into a DP This is the same argument for why Thome should have bunted back in 06. Bunting would be stupid, especially since Konerko is your second best hitter on this team.

First two are on, come one Paulie, no GIDP.

Peavy's in trouble.

Konerko and Jones swung at some bad pitches in those ABs...
