QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) Harper High School (64th and Wood) the school down the street that all the dummy kids went to that could barely read and we made fun of. Ah, gotcha.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 10:22 PM) 1998, sophomore year vs. Harper, I wanted a fastball and he gave me one belly button-high and I hit it like 420 feet to dead center. It felt awesome. I didn't even know I could do that. Bryce Harper's older brother or another Harper?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) Heidenreich might be something. I hope so, I have a friend who's last name is Heidenreich that is a Cubs fan, and said he would consider becoming a Sox one if Heidenreich makes the bigs.

In my road to the show, the Twins added Carl Crawford, Johnathon Broxton, and K-Rod.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 07:39 AM) No one will be happier about Jackson shutting me up than me. We really need a stopper today to avoid losing 3/4 to the lowly Orioles. At least Jackson did his part.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 09:20 PM) Exactly. This team was 9.5 games out with the same cast of characters. No one was talking about the great chemistry then. They have proven they can be great with this roster and they can be awful with this roster. Hopefully, KW can get another bat, but it certainly doesn't look good. They just lost 3 of 4 to Baltimore and still are in first place, so not all is bad. Tied for first*

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) As a Weaver Ball guy, this team makes me want to put my head through the wall. Ozzie manages against every sabermetric principle in the book. He has no idea how to optimize the potential offensive output of the group of guys he wanted. I get it that saber isn't the end all be all way to baseball, but the fact that Ozzie goes out of his way to ignore it is infuriating.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) THIS. I never understood why people love giving up outs, especially with hitters at the top of the order. Because it's so GRINDY. Now theres not even that whole "Well, they're in first place with Ozzie Ball" argument." f***.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 09:02 PM) Don't tell me that a lineup with both Kotsay and Jones in it doesn't thrill you. What are you talking about they both deserve better at bats. Jesus f***ing christ damnit Ozzie.

Impressive swan dive at least by Carlos. We can see him bat in a few weeks when he's off the DL.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 08:52 PM) I've long conceded Miggy as the AL MVP. I'm just saying PK should get some votes or whatever. I still think MVP should go to the most valuable player for a playoff team and that there should be some sort of offensive equivalent of the Cy Young, thus allowing pitchers to also be MVPs.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 08:48 PM) I don't get it? Oh wait, "these two" meant Ozzie and KW. I thought you meant Jones and another past their prime player.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 08:45 PM) It's what we do. We're perpetually taking on these reclamation projects or former great players that are multiple years past their prime hoping they can find that fountain of youth. That's why I want Ozzie and KW gone. Will never win consistently with these two and nobody can convince me otherwise. "These two" with the other being Vizquel?

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 08:35 PM) Aj sucks against everyone. I was using sarcasm...Castro mauled Simon yesterday.

Oh look, a lefty...and we took out Dayan.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 08:34 PM) So we ph for Dayan but not AJ? What? Castro sucks against Simon.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 08:23 PM) kong's going to lead off with a dinger I love you.

To quote Ranger; If we don't make the playoffs, it's cause of pitching.

Didn't know Shelby's dad was the O's first base coach.

Good job Jackson.

EJax could use a nice K here.

And that kids, is why Andruw Jones should be allowed to stay over Mark Kotsay.

Jackson is just nasty.

SO CLOSE DANG IT.
