What a let down

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 05:33 PM) Let me put it this way...if I were the Tigers, and I had $60 million coming off the books this offseason, and I had the ability to get Peavy for basically assuming his contract...even though he struggled this year, I would very much lean towards doing so. I wouldn't touch him for that much money.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 01:29 PM) Carter was traded to AZ for Quentin. Had nothing to do with Swisher. Right. The others in that trade were De Los Santos and Sweeney. Carter went to the D'Backs for Quentin and almost immediately to the A's for Haren.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 12:13 PM) He's 33 going on 34. It actually makes a lot of sense. But how does that affect the approach he takes to the plate? Assuming the other poster is correct in saying he just swings as hard as he can.

Best acts from the weekend: Arcade Fire, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Matt & Kim, Cut Copy

I love Johnny Danks.

QUOTE (aprec32 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 09:46 PM) Nice win! Fans don't really seem into it though. We've been a little disappointing the past 2 days.

i'd like to see Sale pitch in situations like this

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 09:22 PM) So is Danks officially our big game pitcher? I've considered him that for awhile now.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) Oh, you are absolutely right. I just meant a dominating start that gave us a chance to get a much-needed win. Especially against this team.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 09:02 PM) And this kind of start coming just in the nick of time, after the last five games. A lot of our recent starts (minus Freddy) actually haven't been all that bad.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) Give him time, learning to do that against big league pitching for a 21 year old with limited MLB experience is going to be a challenge. That said...we don't have time because it's a pennant race. That's why I'm no longer nearly as angry if he gets sent down for Teahen. Very true. I'd like to see him work on that and his walking abilities during the off-season. And I'm sure he will.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:53 PM) Makes sense, I couldn't watch the Orioles series and last I remember he was doing good, the book is out, can he make an adjustment? Hasn't shown the ability to yet.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:52 PM) I was just confused because you posted that while I was still on the commercial break here. Ahhh, well, I'm not going through a cable box on this tv. Comes faster. If anything truly exciting happens I'll make sure to delay my post about 30 seconds.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:50 PM) What was this post in reference to? Viciedo and his inability to walk. I don't care if that was a good pitch or not.

He really can't just take a pitch. This is unbelievable.

QUOTE (aprec32 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:41 PM) Worse Fielder.............CQ or Dye? I think it's CQ. Dye was just slow in my opinion, not really a terrible fielder.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) I think I've been on the sand dune in the singing Fruit of the Loom underwear ad. That's scary. A little off topic, but not a bad post. Not bad at all.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:37 PM) They'd eject Ozzie, probably not Gardenhire. Well, yeah. But I was comparing it to the Cards/Reds incident.

QUOTE (aprec32 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) I'm actually afraid for any retaliation might result in a Reds vs. Cardinals incident......................and I'm thinking that Castro might kill someone. So they eject the managers? I'd be happy giving up Ozzie for a game to get rid of Gardenhire. I'm liking the idea more and more.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) They won't do that. It'd be a tacit admission that they were wrong. I should have typed it in green.

QUOTE (aprec32 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) He will, I bet. Have Linebrink do it. That suspension will actually improve the team.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) That's why we're signing Dunn. And possibly Thome.

Ehh, I doubt he tried to do that on purpose.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 08:27 PM) I don't see how anyone could disagree. Then that post really worked out how I wanted it to. (and there's always someone on here that will disagree with anything you say)
