Goddamnit.

Beast Mode.

I enjoy this.

Can we stop calling up the "experienced" Kinneys and Bruneys and instead just bring up Reed, Infante, or Lindsay?

Why not Reed, Infante, or Lindsay?

I really want to see Reinsdorf do what he did with the Bulls, when he moved Pax up and Forman became GM. Especially since Pax and Kenny are so similar, as are Hahn and Forman.

The fact that Beckham doesn't look like how he was at Georgia, in the minors, and in 2009 is the biggest indictment of Walker. We had a guy who most baseball experts were sure was the next great second baseman and while he is turning into a defensive wizard, he should be a top flight offensive 2B, but instead has a long, scared swing.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 19, 2011 -> 12:31 PM) His approach surprised me. For example, look at how terrible most of our hitters looked against the Indians pen and their nasty low and away sliders. Flowers didnt even blink when they threw those to him, just took a walk like he's supposed to. This. If Flowers is back to what he was supposed to be two years ago, that's great news going forward.

Time to teach Lilli how to catch.

Humber is a badass for wanting to stay in.

I give Dunn props.

Congrats Big Jim, sorry about Ozzie. Man, Thome is awesome.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 07:18 PM) Why? He has pretty much done nothing since going to Seattle. Thought he was doing better.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) Holy Crap! Jason Marquis pitched on a broken leg for 13 pitches and an at-bat.... Ouch Holy s***.

I regret Jeff Gray.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 08:36 AM) I really hope Mark gets the Jordan treatment from Jerry if it comes down to whether they can make a new contract fit or not. $33M is too much for Buehrle.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 11:26 AM) It really makes you wonder if Florida would now consider Guillen for Morrison. Wasn't it Morrison who we were supposedly gonna "trade" for Ozzie? I regret not doing that, because Morrison and Dayan in the corners next year would be some sweet s***.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) Did you see the few posts prior to this where they said things some asshole might come in and say? Not what I had in mind Balta.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 02:43 PM) I don't know if it could be Santiago or some return from trading Floyd/Danks or some veteran Doug Davis type signed in ST, but I will grant, you need to have a 6th starter option in AAA known to start the season with that kind of rotation. They'd probably be able to go plenty deep in games, but sometime around June/July we'd actually start wanting to have guys do some spot starts. I'd still wanna go with a six man. What its done for Buehrle, could do for Humber, Peavy, Sale, and Stewart, would be great.

They made that a base hit. Damn.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 02:32 PM) I actually was one of his defenders last year because of his defense. His defense this year has been a mess, and especially a mess when the 9th inning rolls around for some reason. He's cost us several games on defense and saved virtually none. Last year Juan was really, really good at D. This year, no.

Good play by Morel.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 07:31 PM) Damn. Tough ass year for that man. And you know some asshole is going to say Dunn should suck it up and earn his contract.
