Win for a 6-1 road trip. I'll take it.

My 1A and 1B are The Wonder Years and Freaks and Geeks.

I believe the Manos: the Hands of Fate episode was probably one of the first two or three that I had seen and really made me fall in love with the show.

I have no problem with Valentine's comment at all. To me it could be a jab at KW as much as Ozzie. If were struggling this bad, why haven't we made changes? Why haven't we brought up our one stud minor leaguer? To me it was about that as much as Ozzie's managing.

Provided we are winning handily at the time, I wouldn't mind seeing Thome hit his 600th against us.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 02:01 PM) I'm missing something here. Somebody blasted me for telling Mrs. Teahen she looked good instead of the way Oney described her. Then somebody said looks had nothing to do with it even though most of her post was about looks. She thanked me for the compliment in one of her ensuing posts. What am I missing here? Where did I become evil again? Kill this post if it takes the thread in a weird direction but what is goin on ? The point is, it doesn't matter what she looks like. What Oney did is wrong whether she is attractive or not. I don't think she came her to get people to tell her she was pretty. And you did kinda go on about how good looking she was with her bangin' volleyball body. I mean she is a married woman.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 10:00 AM) As I have said b4... Rios needs to stand up and I think Dunn's biggest problem is he is so damn far off the plate.. if he moved in I think it would help him. I think because he is 6'6", Dunn can't really move closer to the plate. If he did, there is no way he could get his arms in to even fight off an inside pitch. Most of the tall players you see (6'4" plus) stand off the plate for this very reason. Even the great Frank Thomas would struggle with the inside pitch for this reason. It wasn't until he opened up his stance that he really got good at driving the inside pitch.

It's not really fair to say "Morel has never done anything with the White Sox". He is a rookie with only a couple hundred at bats in his career. Sure he is not walking at all, and not hitting many 2B, HR, but many rookies would kill to hit .250. I think a lot of Beckham's problems are from Greg Walker. He came up in '09 driving everything to right field, then came back in '10 and tried to pull everything. He started swinging and missing a ton. This seems to be the Greg Walker approach to hitting. Dunn will snap out of it. I think he just maybe hit that age where things aren't quite as easy as they once were, but he will figure it out. Maybe not this year, but next. Rios needs to ditch his stance and completely start over. That stance seems to work when your going good, but does not allow for any consistency. Would a new hitting coach be able to fix him? Who knows. Just my thoughts.

Ozzie is a rather horrible manager in my opinion, but some blame has to be levied on KW for allowing Ozzie's charade to go on as long as it has.

Beckham
