I love me some, Fields. As soon as his power comes back, he's going to be one of the better hitters in the league.

Come on, Fields. Pull a Crede.

You didn't tag, Konerko?

Did Alexei just... walk?

Come on, Paulie. If there's anyone other then Jimmy Gobble you can hit, it's a knuckleballer

What a play by Getz!

How do you miss that call?

My God, BA IS a GENIUS

Q is way too hard on himself. No wonder he needed a therapist in Arizona.

Dickey's pitches are moving like crazy.

The Cubs complete lack of a bullpen is going to hurt them a lot this year.

God, i hate the Twins.

Splitter was real sharp right there.

Unless, Slayer gets hurt, there's no way he's not up here by September call-ups.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 01:12 PM) Sssshhhhh...you hear that? Faintly in the distance? That's Jon Daniels laughing. Given his track record we could probably screw him out of his best pitching prospect too.

I think we should let AJ punch this guy in the face.

Was that pitch location as bad as it looked on gamecast?

If Danks performs tonight, i'd say we're firmly entrenched as the most promising team in the division.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 03:21 PM) It may not...but the fact that Marmol was in the WBC and Gregg did pitch lights out in Spring Training had a lot to do with it tho. That and Marmol is far more important to the team when he can pitch two innings, rather then one.

Oh, my god. I just read the story and... i'm so sorry for everyone involved. This kid was genuine talent, and he proved it on the mound yesteday, and for it to be taken away...

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 11:22 PM) Because it's not Wise's fault he's getting trotted out there for something he's not able to do. Yes, it is. He can't hit, if he can't hit, and he can't field, and he's thirty-freaking one he should just retire. I admire his determination, but it's all for naught when your skillset is that of a leadofff man and you can't leadoff.

Why shouldn't Wise be booed? He sucks, plain and simple; Wise has been a bad ballplayer his entire career and is still making a go at it. It's great to appreciate the effort he's making, but to not boo him would be like voting for that crappy oblivious kid on American Idol, because "you don't want him to know how bad he really is."

An arguement can be made that it's a lot harder to find a decent hitting coach then it is a pitching coach. Sure we can give up on Walk, but who would replace him?

Two awesome curves on display tonight. Gavin and Greinke should give us a show.
