QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 10:13 PM) looked like a routine fly, he camped under it. then he started to drift torwards center and it fell. that was a horrible horrible play He threw a glare at Rios and a desperate dive in too.

Bust!

That was very obviously JD’s fault. Dye followed that ball to the point where Rios literally, could do nothing with it. I think what saddens me the most is this was the most visible sign that Dye really is done defensively. We can’t put him out their again and expect any less then what we just saw.

What a play by Buehrle. Wow

I’m still in shock that Dye did that. I mean… I knew he was awful defensively, but that was sad.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 10:06 PM) milton bradleys cartwheel in preseason was worse That was preseason. This counted. This was televised.

That was the worst defensive play i have ever seen.

WHAT THE f*** WAS THAT DYE?

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 10:00 PM) I think I was agreeing with you. But maybe not. You weren’t. Ozzieball was making the argument that batting average was overrated and that walks and homers counted a good deal more I agreed, and essentially said, “Boy, that sounds like Nick Swisher.” You followed that up with, “Nick Swisher sucks.”

Nice piece of hitting AJ.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 09:54 PM) Yeah, sometimes numbers don't tell the whole story. Cuz Swish sucked. Quite often. I think you and the point were heading in the right direction, and then you two just missed each other.

God, that ball stayed up for AGES.

I like Getz, but i honestly think Nix could be the better long-term option for this team.

Nix can make that turn like no other.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 09:50 PM) Or it goes to show how overrated batting average is. When you walk a lot and hit for a lot of power you're good pretty much regardless of what your BA is. coughNickSwishercough.

I like how Hawk was getting on Jayson for taking a pitch. When in reality he was just waiting to get a pitch to hit.

If this guy clicks, he's one of the best in the league. His glove is tremendous, and that power is REAL.

NIX!!!! I LOVE JAYSON NIX IN THE MANLIEST WAY POSSIBLE!!!

No contending team should lose to a team starting Betancourt and Bloomquist.

Oh, damn Rios.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) No way is he a worse hitter than Uribe. No f'in way. No, i'm serious. He really is, he's really bad at everything.

Great job, Buehrle! You just gave up a two-run bomb to literally, the worst player in the MLB!

Seriously, Buehrle? f***. It's f***ing Betancourt. f*** this team.
