QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:10 AM) If that were to happen they should cancel the rest of the season and award the Dodgers the trophy. A good and healthy Schmidt with Billingsley pretty much means the Dodgers are 2009 World Champions. That's like them going out and getting Cliff Lee.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:40 AM) Cuddyer was very much safe. Terrible call. For anyone who didn't see it: Top 9, A's by 1. 1st and 2nd, 2 out, cuddyer at 2B. Wuertz throws a wild pitch that bounces off Kurt Suzuki and up in the air, the ball lands behind him but he can't find it, Cuddyer is racing around 3B and Suzuki finds it, throws home and Cuddyer was called out. Game over. Freeze frame showed that Wuertz might of had the tag down. You can debate whether or not he actually tagged him there, but the ball clearly beat him. Regardless if he was safe or not, you don't give up a 10 run lead to the Oakland A's. Their offense BLOWS. Another great thing that came out of this one was that Matt Holliday got me 22 fantasy points.

I'm going today. Jeff Niemann's been surprisingly good this year. Looks like the Rays were right to send down David Price. Both Niemann and Jason Hammel are having better seasons than Price this year.

Bobby looked so good to Pena and Zobrist. Then he reverted to really bad Bobby. He had a lot of guts to throw a ball out of the zone on 3-2 to Bartlett.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:57 PM) Ozzie is protecting Fields!! But Ozzie doesn't like young white players!!! I guess he only likes the bad ones. xD

Why the hell would you even start Josh Fields against a guy who throws 95 when you know he can't hit a fastball above 90?

Josh's best bet is a walk.

Please, Get Thome in there for Fields.

Now that's good defense.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:49 PM) We're bunting with Beckham? He almost got a hit.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:48 PM) ohmygodcqsmiled Now that's rare. Let's see how he runs.

There's a start. Now let's get some runs.

Price should be out of the game by now. We haven't punished him enough.

And that one was almost gone... Gavin might be done.

Damage control Gavin, come on. 3 hits, 3 homers. Man that sucks.

I have a bad feeling about this game.

Paulie was fooled on that one.

Just foul. Damn.

Gotta love the MLB At Bat app. Watching the game on my iPod touch in high quality.

I'd take a Freddy Garcia who can throw strikes and get his fastball up in the high 80s than an ineffective Clayton Richard throwing 95 any day.

You forgot to update Buehrle's line.

I can't stand the Red Sox and I can't stand Cubs fans. I also naturally hate the Twins, Tigers, and Indians. Well hate is a strong word, so I'll say I hate the Twins.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 02:56 PM) I want to see what a radar gun says for the good life before I get excited. Freddy lobbing 84 mph fastballs is not going to work out well. He needs to be 89 to 91 to be effective. At least he has excellent secondary stuff, unlike Colon who pumps in fastball after fastball and hopes movement gets him by. Well, he threw like 85-86 against us last year in game 162 and we only got him for one run in 5 innings.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 02:49 PM) We have to see if we can count on him the rest of the year before we hit the deadline. I'm only talking about tonight though. If you're not going to play Thome, there's no reason to have Carlos running around out there in his first game back.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 02:09 PM) Pods8, Alexei6, JD9, PK3, AJ2, TCQ7, Beckham5, Nix4, Fields dh. Floyd pitching. QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ!!!! Let's hope nobody pulls the ball over his head too many times tonight. I still think the logical choice might be to DH him and play Nix or Fields in LF since you're not going to play Thome.
