It is September and we are first place. It's a race, a crazy pennant race.

New month, time for some new mojo. Win tomorrow with Liriano and we all will feel better. Cmon San Francisco Liriano. Pitch a gem. We still are in first by 2. Won't be easy but let us grind this out to the end staying in first place.

I don't want to see jake go through their lineup for the fourth time. But of course he has to thrown 130 pitches every Start. We better put up a big phat crooked number up.

Forget one out of three. We need to win three out of three. We need to start winning on the road again. And we could use a larger lead to allow us to rest Saleami and Dr. Quin.

Just win this one. We need to score in every inning and we need peavy to get every single Tig out. Everyone. Save the bullpen for another game.

The Tiggs could falter in September. Maybe tired from last years playoff run. Not counting on it but it could happen. Wild card teams will be at a disadvantage this season however the Wildcard game Winner gets the first two games at home. That Helps a little. Little bit of a disadvantage of being the #1 seed. This year only. Being #2 seed might be where it is at.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 30, 2012 -> 01:33 PM) AJ and Paulie must have 5pm dinner reservations in Detroit. Vulture not happy. No win to snatch today. Maybe the screwdriver will get the win today. We only need a grand slam.

We can still win this one. the vulture is looking for his eighth win.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2012 -> 01:14 PM) So, Kenny has to try getting another starting pitcher, right? He can't possibly try to go the next month with a rotation where the 4/5 is Quintana and Axelrod/Santiago? This game came too soon. I was still savoring yesterday's victory. We need to put up some crooked numbers on the board, win, and jet out of the Balts.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 11:32 PM) You don't need a 5th starter with no talent on the playoff roster You forgot to put that in green.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 11:18 PM) October 7th might be the best day to be born, EVAR. I don't know. Might be disturbing somebody postseason baseball. Why don't they want Dylan to be on a potential postseason roster? They should just keep him and then add players on the 1st

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 10:57 PM) What a selfish bastard. 9 months ago he should have realized he would be needed in the middle of a pennant race, should have wrapped it up. Ironically this happened to Ventura in 1993. His wife gave birth on oct 7 1993. I remember an interview on tv with RV And he said that is was bad planning. You have to calculate the 9 months and figure out when the child is due.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 10:40 PM) So then someone needs to get optioned off, I thought we were at 40 now. Pat Boyle just said a pitcher is coming. Oh wait maybe we shouldn't make this move. Doesn't this make Axelrod ineligible for the Postseason (if we make it and I hope we do)

So what happens in a case like this. DA threw a lot of pitches today. He isn't going to pitch again for at least 4 days. Does he actually physically go to Birmingham. or Can he have a vacation. Go to Disneyworld or something. He Deserves it after the start tonite. If he is going to called up in Sept he won't be able to pitch in Bham

Robert Zimmerman... Nice Start tonight

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 03:05 PM) Every player is put on waivers at some point. The question winds up being whether they are claimed. If they pass through waivers they can be traded, while if they're claimed they can be pulled back, so the only question is when you put the player on waivers. Yeah. I meant would they put him up like right now. He might pass through. or at least get through to us.

Do you think the Phils would put halladay on waivers. Owed $20M next year but that is it. Doesn't Look like 2014 option would kick in.

He knows how to pitch. Nolan Ryan pitched for a long time. If Clemens can come up with a knuckleball he could pitch for a while. clemency for clemens. Ask Clemente.

You don't have to be great to be dangerous. However the double H is dangerously great.

No rumors this month? Kw utr or we hold.

Maybe dice k to dice kc. He could start a couple games against kc. Oswalt cleared waivers. Not my top choice but coop could fix him.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 10:43 AM) I'm surprised Milwood hasn't been moved to a contender. He's pitched pretty well this season, despite his record. Take bedard or dice. Bedard was a guy that kw wanted before.

TF is the new BA

And Tyler...well he is the man with the high flyers when he isn't calling for the sliders. dial her up there Tyler

QUOTE (MEANS @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 06:28 PM) yes Jones get's the win Jones is always picking up the bones. Good job dawg. Nate is always supplying the bait.
