Jose Abreu is awesome.

If we don't score here....... Lol

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 10:35 PM) I wonder if MLB.com would listen if I sent them an email asking them to switch their policy for commercials. How can this help the advertiser? I will not buy Phillips 66 just because of these incessant commercials. They are the same every half inning. It is like torture, not water torture but ear torture. What device are you watching on? I have gone to using my Xbox almost exclusively - no commercials and better RW and FF controls. And Petricka gives it up. I am SHOCKED.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) Speaking of De Aza, not sure why he didn't pinch-hit for Viciedo Oh, I have an idea, but the apologists might come out of the woodwork.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 09:28 PM) You have to give Viciedo credit for patience. He got the slider off the plate he was looking for. LMAO struck my funny bone. Good one.

Man, I very strongly dislike Dayan Viciedo. It will be a great day when HE GONE, like Beckham.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 07:49 PM) Viciedo is just a debacle on defense Thankfully, he's equally as bad/stupid at the plate. Something I have not seen suggested here - why haven't we seen some Sierra in RF and Avi in LF? IMO, Sierra is obviously much better defensively than Viciedo and ADA and arguably a better hitter. He deserves more time, especially with the position we are currently in.

Joe West doing a fine job, as usual.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 24, 2014 -> 04:30 PM) From the mod/admin perspective, #1. Always Especially if it's a mod/admin doing #2, I guess. Somehow the critiquing (or complaining) is never justified and the suggestions never correct. Yet, b****ing about said critiques is warranted. I guess it just depends on your perspective.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2014 -> 03:34 PM) For as much as you complain, I have no idea why you watch. I honestly think you enjoy it. Which is worse - the people that complain, or the people that complain about the people that complain?

QUOTE (1dog @ Aug 24, 2014 -> 01:54 PM) Have we been told what the first rule of baseball is yet today? There it is.

And now he's getting squeezed. C'mon.

We got a man there, he's just too f***ing inept to catch the damn baseball. Have we been told what the first rule of baseball is yet today?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 24, 2014 -> 01:44 PM) CORNER! 2 homers? Sale on the mound? This is a W. I do like me some Corner on a Sundee....and Mondee and Tuesdee too!

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 24, 2014 -> 01:29 PM) Didn't know Gordo's mom posted here! Lol I think Beckham is terrible and was ecstatic to see him go. I should have added that he is not an MLB player either. Was basically just agreeing with Friend of Nordhagen. Couldn't have said it better myself. Maybe Hawk just loves all 2B? He doesn't fawn over ADA's idiocy. Lol

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 24, 2014 -> 01:07 PM) Nice job by Hawk there. In one sentence, he was able to over-promote one prospect ("Sanchez is gonna be a good one") while still pumping a lousy departing player ("But right now, in the field, he's no Beckham."). Hawk is a genius. Absolutely infuriating. He's not a Beckham, and not a Major League Baseball player. Period.

The previous pitch, I actually said "Don't get f***in picked off." Poof.

Hawk is gonna suck Jeter the entire game. This might be tough to take.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 10:03 PM) He gets a pass until he gets a team that should win. So it's ok to showcase the fact that you have no idea how to manage a ballclub, until the point that team has players that are actually good enough to win something significant. After he continues to make the same mistakes with those good players, costing them games, and thereby wrecking that team's chances to win a potential World Series - then it's ok to let him go. Yeah, that makes sense. In fact, it's very much in line with the rest of your thoughts you've posted this year.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 21, 2014 -> 04:48 PM) Yes!!!! The Beckham era is over!!! So happy!!

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) That is the 3rd f***ing ball to hit the top of the fence this year, that is crazy Yeah, I'm kind of amazed at how many times I've seen it. I mostly just watch the Sox, but it seems to happen often. I think the one Conor hit that was robbed by Markakis might have hit the top too if he didn't catch it.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 07:33 PM) Am I crazy if I'm fine with Rodon and Noesi as 4&5 for '15? IMO no. I think bullpen, 2B, and maybe LF need upgrades badly. I think we're probably stuck with our catching situation.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 20, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) Did Avi's hit the top of the fence? Yes
