JC, and a couple of these loses are after good pitching by one of the startint 5, mainly Danks.

If we lose badly and do not show up against the Twinkies in this upcoming series which is possible and then continue to slide to the end of May into June then yeah I could see a firesale (I will even make the official firesale thread) but not yet. If PK continues to shine then as much as it will hurt the fanbase you have to see what you can get. Also I know this won´t gp down with some people but if Danks does not sign should he be considered a firesale candidate? If he had a great ERA, K/BB ratio, and WHIP but average W/L record (Completely and justifiably due to no run support at all) then you should consider what you can get for him at the Aug deadline, or am I dead wrong?

AGon cooled a little after his fast start. He should heat up now in May/Jun/Jul/Aug.

We still will need someone to pick up the production from both CQ and Beckham if they keep struggling. I thought Ozzie was going to bench Beckham for a while but guess not.

Who is struggling more, Beckham or Quentin?

Kinda sounds like us a little.

Are there standard rental contracts for kids?

In his last good year (2008), Rios sported a 21.0 UZR. That is F'in sexy. Yup he will be patrolling CF for a few years.

There even rumors about the Zen Master being a possibility which I doubt, they started cuz the Lakers owner wants him back but with a discount. It will be interesting until after the 1st of July in the NBA for sure.

Sorry shoulda been specific, the Bulls. My Bad.

I hope so TB, as long as they get bounced either by Boston or Orlando (They are on fire right now) then we have somewhat of a shot. Good core, money, and great fans. Back to the game, GO SOX!!!

GO HAWKS!!! OT, anyone wanna venture whether we sign Lebron? I say we have a chance.

What is the common perception as to why Rios is rakin this year? Bad year last year because of the pressure brought on by the waiver move or because he has changed his stance and is getting the bat around much better and quicker? Just curious. GO SOX!!!

So I´m curious is Rios the real deal now this year? He sure looks like after a month and change.

This. Plus your starting 5 are not getting it done save for Danks and Garcia now and then.

2005 certainly seems like a very distant memory now.

15-0 here we come. Let´s face it, we just suck.

What is really telling about the state of this team is only 205 posts in the day game thread on a SUnday afternoon. That is very low. Must be the weather.

We´d be the Nationals of the AL. 1st pick in the draft year after year I guess.

Ozzie has to be held accountable for keeping Walker on these last two years at a minimum.

The offense is mired in such a hole and rut that even Beckham is just striking out left and right. I thought he would be one of the bright spots this year. It has to be a joke when your team BA is dead last in all of MLB and the likes of the Astros, Padres, Pirates, Orioles, Nationals, and A´s all have better offensive teams. This is downright pathetic now.

What award does Pierre get??

SA, and as I just noted below Linebrink screwed Danksie out of a win. That blows.

Fathom, I agree. This point ain´t b****in but I am really disappointed Linebrink blew another great effort by Danksie. He didn´t deserve that after really battling thru 5 innings.

SSK, here is his current line from MILB.COM. He is rakin, not sure he needs to prove much more. Team League AVG G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI TB BB SO SB CS OBP SLG OPS CHA INT .323 18 62 10 20 4 1 4 21 38 9 21 0 1 .432 .613 1.045
