Penny's found his changeup, making our hitters battle now

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 10:05 PM) Rios 11:$12M, 12:$12M, 13:$12.5M, 14:$12.5M, 15:$13.5M club option ($1M buyout) He's our Soriano. not even close, and don't even bother putting 2015 in there, it's more like this 11:$12.25M 12:$12.25M 13:$12.75M 14:$12.75M Total amount of money per year is the annual salary + 250k x 4years, since we're going to buy out his last year for 1mil

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 09:59 PM) I can't believe he's actually completely, physically finished. But yeah, at this point there's no way he's coming close to his career numbers. he's not even making progress. the way he looks now is 100% the same as he looked when he came back from his surgery: fat, and bad at baseball

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 05:52 PM) Didn't you read Wite's initial post? He gave us facts. Plenty of them. No human being alive will deny that Dunn has been anything but bad so far. Wite showed us a consistent history of Dunn struggling over a sustained period of time only to get his numbers in the end. Now he's not hitting 40 HRs. More than likely not even 35. But there's still reason to believe he can turn it around and be a major factor for this team the rest of the way. when i stated people are making excuses for Dunn, I wasn't pointing to Wite's post, it's actually a good post I was talking about the other posters on this site, and people on the score "he'll end up with his career averages or close to it" no, he f***ing won't

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) I'm sitting here with my Cubs fan friend, and I saw the leadoff triple and then 2 outs recorded quickly and he's nodding along and I told him, "I've been watching this team for years. TRUST ME, whoever is up next is hitting a home run; not a single/triple/whatever, a f***ing home run!" And then I said "And I bet it's f***ing Miguel Cabrera coming up, too!" We laugh our asses off as Miggy comes up... then hits a home run. Totally called it, I'm not even mad. There was no doubt that was going to happen... absolutely NONE. i didnt predict a homer but i knew that run would score after we recorded 2 outs, i posted a few minutes ago.. this team is horrible at getting that 3rd out with RISP

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 09:14 PM) Now I know why Twins fans nicknamed Crain "Crainwreck". yeah, he's been horrible this year gmafb

i knew that jackson would score but we'd have 2 outs first, that always happens. 2-out runs, i bet we lead the league in that department

can't believe edwin has only given up 2 runs so far, is he gonna throw 150 pitches tonight? lol

im turning this off, verlander already looks filthy

lmao, AJ just called for back to back fastballs in the same location against vmart

Verlander has this one locked up

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 04:22 PM) Giving reasons why something is happening isn't making excuses. It is having a rational conversation without worthless hyperbole. reasons without factual basis are excuses

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2011 -> 01:19 PM) I don't know that anyone is "Making excuses" for Dunn. At this point, everyone knows we need him hitting...but we're all sorta wondering if its just mental and something that will correct or if Adam Dunn is genuinely physically incapable of being where he was last year...which would be...bad. are you serious? lol, everyone is making excuses for him

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 10:46 AM) better pitching in the AL is kicking his ass. I suspect he'll show improvement next season. the pitching in the AL is better than the pitching Morel faced in AAA, yet he's sporting a decent average. NL > AL transition is NOT an excuse for Dunn

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 11:04 PM) We beat Lester's ass. we never have issues with lester, verlander has owned us for the last 2 years

people will come back to earth about lillibridge if ozzie plays him everyday, there's a reason he isn't an everyday player, he will get expoooooooosed quickly

Konerkos HR hit a car behind the stadium and the Parking Attendant was like WHOSAWHAT

wish we could beat the torontos and twins and mariners of the world like we do the redsox...

I don't hate the redsox nearly as much as I used to, I'm sure that has something to do with them being our b**** for almost two years

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 03:17 PM) I still hate "don't stop now boyyzzzzzzz" much much more. I love 'don't stop now boyyyyys' lol

A kong dong off Papelboner! I'm bored

Theeeeee CRUSHER

Floyd is such a p****

Gavin has nothing, I smell a rout.

Kenny Williams should lose his job, this is our minor league system guys. Unbelievable LOL
