I love the Holmberg, Phegley and Thompson picks. And while i was in the Brothers camp, Jared Mitchell is growing on me. It was a decent draft, a lot of room improvement, but franly we can't really offer any judgements till two-three years down the line.

Ozzie is a control freak. He needs to be in charge on the field, in the clubhouse to the media. Anytime Ozzie feels threatened he leashes out whether this be at KW, O-Cab, Swisher, Javy, McCarthy, BA, Becakhm and now Poreda. In some cases this kind of reaction is warranted from Ozzie, he needs to exert control over his team, but when this exertion comes in the form of publicly dressing down his young talent, well, this is an issue that needs to be addressed in private.

I like him still. 1. Why would the Royals give that much to a team in division. 2. No one's trading Soriano (one of the better OF's in the game) for a closer 3. Jonathan Broxton is pretty much a younger Bobby Jenks.

Hugo Weaving signs on for The Hobbit. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/hobbitnews.php?id=56225

Norm Mcdonald is a magnificent bastard. Love the guy. Shame, he isn't a bigger deal.

Epic choke job by the Magic.

Overtime. Magic really crapped their pants in this one.

Color me corrected. Poor night by Danks2. No longer pleased.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 10:34 PM) Still, the Sox probably figured they could sign him considering where they took him. I think this is a lot like the Peavy scenario. KW, Laumann and Hahn agree on the pick and figure that they’re good enough negotiators to talk the kid into a deal.

The Yankees simply cannot beat the Red Sox. It's amazing to watch. This is what happens when well-run moneyball meets too much money...ball.

Danks2 with 3 BB's tonight. Very nice to see.

The sleeper story here is Josh Fields with a nice game. It doesn’t look pretty on the surface but 0-1 with 3 BB’s is a marked improvement. Also, Jenksy owes Floyd a win and a beer. Here’s hoping the Scotty Pods 2005 reunion tour keeps producing these kinds of results.

Gavin Floyd!!!!!

Uh-Oh.

I expect this will be the end of Pablo Ozuna's career. At least he made something out of it.

Someone remind Getz that he is not a power hitter.

Beckham chases. K.

I wish Castro would start hitting so we could start sitting AJ a bit more often. I love AJ, but his approach needs to change. You're supposed to get more patient as you get older, once again, AJ defies expectations.

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 06:19 PM) If we keep losing anyway, bring back Big Frank, it'll sell a (very) few tickets. I'd love to see him get one more AB for us. Just one.

At times like this i can't wait to see the Tyler Flowers era begin.

Thanks for not taking a pitch, AJ! I was wondering when that rally would be killed. Glad to see you step up.

Another great AB by Thome. Sure would be nice to have Paulie here.

Rose flashed a gang sign? What is he 20? Oh, wait no s***. Dumb thing to complain about.
