f***.

GETZ?

Anyone else wanna let Poreda pitch in Wrigley Field? Ozzie? Anyone?

Nice play by the 2b, right there.

I love Marshall's curveball.

Beckham has a nice hitting streak going on.

BECKHAM!!!!!

GETZ!!! Getz is a f***ing man, right now.

Ba got Marmol'ed

Nice AB AJ. Didn't even need a bunt.

Good to see Paulie taking the right approach against Marmol

I just got home, turned on the game, and sure enough BOMB! ALEXEI! YES! HELL YES!

GAVIN'S GLOVE!!!

f*** GETZ? SERIOUSLY?

Wow, someone must have pointed out how weird it was for Stoney and Hawk to sit about a football field away from each other in the booth. They’re unusually close.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 02:42 PM) Wow, Beckham has to be thinking there. That was dumb. Getting on base is never dumb.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 02:41 PM) slayer shouldnt have sold that This is Buehrle's fault. He convinced Slayer that everyone can hit.

Floyd took some nice swings. Big Z is way to jacked after striking out a pitcher.

What's your deal, Z?

Getz is hitting the ball exactly where he should. Walk can fix 'em?

BA!

If the ump doesn’t call anything on the outside corner this is not going to be a very pleasant night for Gavin

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 01:29 AM) Teams like to have all their affiliates close together. Realigning for divisional rivalries would require uprooting who knows how many organizations. It makes things harder for the players, coaches, scouts, front office, everybody, and for what? Most of these players are never going to sniff the majors anyway, and a lot of them that do will do so with other organizations. Things are fine just the way the are. Another thing to take into consideration is that teams usually switch minor league affiliates every couple of years. The division thing certainly is not a realistic idea, but a cool idea in an ideal world

A couple of weeks ago I made the case that it would be interesting to realign the divisions in the minor leagues to simulate the major league divisions, to help stimulate rivalry and competition between some of the younger kids. This is from a couple of months back, but when the Cubs and Sox AA teams hooked up, some guy had pretty much the same idea as me. http://whitesox.scout.com/a.z?s=261&p=2&c=867401
