A-Roid is hitting .188, AT New Yankee Stadium...

I don't believe Canseco has been proven wrong yet, well, other than that thing about Clemens not cheating on his wife...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 10:01 PM) Maggs is getting benched. He hasn't hit for power and he's in the same boat Frank Thomas was in with the Blue Jays last year. A huge option becomes vested if he gets enought plate appearances. Personally, I think its good for the Sox. Maggs would eventually start mashing. I think he's done. Stick a fork in him.

QUOTE (sayitaintso @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 04:42 PM) I wouldn't say he's defending him, he may very well be a jerk, but most people don't have exs that think they're perfect. I believe I have 2 ex-girlfriends that would say I'm not an asshole. Out of about 40.

1 for 4 yesterday, now batting .425

Last night... Jackson: (L) 6 innings, 7 hits, 3 earned runs, 2 walks, 7 strikeouts, 1 home run. ERA up to 2.39 Greinke: (L) 6.2 innings, 8 hits, 6 runs, 4 earned, 2 walks, 9 strikeouts, 1 home run. ERA up to 1.96

Halladay to the DL... http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=mlb

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 12:27 PM) Welcome to the site, HM! You're a damn good poster. Anyways, I think the Twins will win this thing. Just a hunch. Thanks and I agree (Twins).

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 10:32 AM) According to the standings I see, KC is 1 game back of the Sox, 1 game ahead of CLE. Well the standings you are looking at are from before Tuesday nights games. The Sox didn't play, the Royals won, and the Indians lost. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/standings

Verlander: (L), 4 innings, 8 hits, 5 earned runs, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts. ERA up to 3.39 Millwood: (W), 7 innings, 4 hits, 1 earned run, 3 walks, 6 strikeouts, 1 home run. ERA down to 2.62 Hernandez: (W), CG SHO, 2 hits, 4 walks, 6 strikeouts. ERA down to 2.77 Greinke, Jackson, and Buehrle pitch tomorrow. I'll post a new graphic Thursday morning...

I think the important thing to remember when looking at his career numbers, is that he's 25. I'm confident in saying that he's not even close to hitting his professional peak, and that's just plain scary...

Only 25, already has two batting titles, and he is a career .324 hitter. Hitting .429 as of June 16.

Gil Meche with a complete game shutout tonight. 0.5 games behind the Sox, 2.0 up on Cleveland. Greinke pitches tomorrow night...

I'm not sure what you mean?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 15, 2009 -> 01:15 AM) Man, the Royals dust off the Reds, win all three. In KC, they are hoping they are going to now return to the way they played real early on. Any hope for KC? Like the Sox they are only a handful of games out in the loss column. We kicked ass in inter-league last year. We just swept the Reds with our 3/4/5 pitchers, now we get the last place Arizona for 3 at home, the Cards for 3 at home, then 3 at last place Pittsburgh and 3 at last place Houston. There is hope, but just a little... QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jun 15, 2009 -> 05:14 AM) KC f***ing sucks. Aviles looks like a JUCO player and Tony Pena Jr. Is worse than Wise. Juan Cruz isn't looking very good this year. Remember how much people want him or didn't want the Twins to land him? 1 game behind the White Sox. Aviles has been hurt since Spring Training, now he's on the DL. TPJ is the worst hitter in baseball, pitchers included. Cruz has been spotty, when he's on, he's great, when he's not, he blows. There's been no middle ground with him. Same goes for Farnsworth. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 15, 2009 -> 08:21 AM) I wouldn't go that far. The Royals have a putrid offense. I know statistically ours isn't much better. We've been without Alex Gordon and a shortstop. At least you guys have the longball...

Several bad outings today, although both Buehrle and Beckett hit home runs... Beckett: (L), 6 innings, 11 hits, 7 runs, 6 earned, 0 walks, 5 strikeouts, 1 HR. ERA up to 4.15 Buerhle: (ND), 6 innings, 7 hits, 4 earned runs, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts, 3 HR. ERA up to 3.43 Jered Weaver getting red hot, I read the other day he was dedicating this season to Nick Adenhart... Weaver: (W), CG, SHO, 5 hits, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts. ERA down to 2.08

From MLBTR...

The crappy Royals are one game behind the White Sox...
