QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 09:37 PM) Every other team in the league could ask the same question. They are the best team in the league. I was about to say the same thing. Where are all these other consistent teams? No one in the AL East has been consistent. No one in the NL is consistent. The Sox may be flawed but so is every team in baseball.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 09:33 PM) Gagne in to face the Cubs? The Brewers should really look into getting a RP for the stretch run. Or they can pray that Gallardo gets healthy and use him as a RP for the remainder of the season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 09:32 PM) PK seems to be getting worse, and that didn't seem possible. Anderson needs to be in CF, with Swisher at 1b. Unfortunately Swisher is just as bad right now. But at least that would improve our D.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 09:32 PM) Rickie Weeks may not be in a Brewers uni next year. Ray Durham>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rickie Weeks. I wonder how long it will take Ned Yost to figure it out.

Rickie Weeks gets booed after striking out against Howry. Why the hell haven't the Brewers made Durham their everyday 2b yet?

Luckily for the Brewers Bob Howry is as bad at baseball as Weeks is.

Rickie Weeks f***ing sucks at baseball.

I think the Swisher-Konerko debate needs to end. They both suck

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 11:29 AM) I think he might be OK. He was awesome with the White Sox for a while. He did come in Saturday for the Yankees and fan Big Papi. Doesn't get any harder than that. He was a lot more dominating for the White Sox than not. People remember the Boston playoff game, but he was really screwed up then. If his head is on straight, and they use him mostly against lefties, I think he will be a popular member of their bullpen. Agreed. And while I couldn't stand him in 2005, he was absolutely dominant in 2003 when the Sox were in the playoff chase until September so it isn't like he can't handle the heat of a pennant race. He was an absolute mess in 2005 and needed a change of scenery but he has done well in high pressure situations before.

Please for the love of god don't f this up Konerko

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) When your main offensive weapon is a walk and you have 6 career SB, its really not so impressive. Swisher hasn't hit as well as he has the best two seasons. But walking is still more of a weapon than Konerko has shown at the plate. Both of those guys have been big disappointments. But as lousy as Konerko has been I'm also not in the bench him or trade him camp because I wouldn't be surprised at all if he broke out and got real hot. Same goes for Swisher.

QUOTE (FranktheTank35 @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 01:48 PM) Javy is just absolutely horrid right now. When was his last good start? Turn it around, please! He pitched 7 innings against Texas allowing 3 runs in his last start. And against Oakland he pitched a complete game also allowing 3 runs. Those were two of his previous 3 starts.

Jermaine Dye absolutely owns Tiger pitching

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 04:21 PM) No kidding. How bout this: We thought we won a deal trading Marte away for Mack-O-Whack. Now he's being called a shut down relief pitcher in the media. Marte was also coming off a season when he posted a 1.7+ WHIP and couldn't throw a strike to save his life. He has been very solid for Pittsburgh the last two seasons and his walk totals are way down and thus he has regained his effectiveness. Not a shut down relief pitcher but a very good one.

I love Cleveland and Detroit's bullpens. Great job by Jermaine

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 08:22 PM) Alexei is really good. does this team have any chance of scoring off Jones/Rodney?? Jones sucks so absolutely

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 09:20 PM) Haha, Steroiderosa looked like an idiot diving after catching that ball. That was straight out of the Jim Edmonds school of unnecessarily diving for a ball making a catch look more difficult than it really was.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 12:43 PM) Then what would 2 be?

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 08:01 AM) If 1 is 3 and 3 is 5 and 5 is 4 and 4 is cosmic. What is 7?

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 12:05 PM) Here's something else to chew on - Johan Santana is the same age as Buehrle and has 12 less wins. Even if he wins 20 games per season over the next 7 seasons, he's STILL short of 250. In fact, there aren't many active starting pitchers around Buehrle's age that have comparable win/ERA totals. http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/W_active.shtml notables: 1. Greg Maddux (42) 350 wins - hall of famer 2. Tom Glavine* (42) 305 wins - hall of famer 3. Randy Johnson* (44) 290 wins - hall of famer 4. Mike Mussina (39) 261 wins - probably a hall of famer 5. Jamie Moyer* (45) 238 wins - no 6. Kenny Rogers* (43) 216 wins - maybe in the country music hall of fame Curt Schilling (41) 216 wins - wow is this enough wins? I would've thought he had more. 8. Pedro Martinez (36) 212 wins - too injury prone to end up with enough wins? 9. Andy Pettitte* (36) 211 wins - no 10. John Smoltz (41) 210 wins - yes, because of his saves too 11. Tim Wakefield (41) 174 wins - no 12. Bartolo Colon (35) 150 wins - ha 13. Aaron Sele (38) 148 wins - no 14. Tim Hudson (32) 144 wins - potentially 15. Livan Hernandez (33) 143 wins - no Steve Trachsel (37) 143 wins - hell no 17. Kevin Millwood (33) 139 wins - no 18. Tom Gordon (40) 138 wins - no 19. Woody Williams (41) 132 wins - no 20. Jon Lieber (38) 131 wins - no 21. Jason Schmidt (35) 128 wins - no 22. Esteban Loaiza (36) 126 wins - no 23. Hideo Nomo (39) 123 wins - no Jeff Suppan (33) 123 wins - no, but who knew he had this many wins 25. Roy Halladay (31) 122 wins - potentially yes, if he doesn't get injured Javier Vazquez (31) 122 wins - probably way too inconsistent to last 27. Matt Morris (33) 121 wins - no 28. Derek Lowe (35) 119 wins - no Roy Oswalt (30) 119 wins - potentially yes 30. Freddy Garcia (33) 117 wins - LOLZ Chan Ho Park (35) 117 wins - LOLZ part II Barry Zito* (30) 117 wins - LOLZ part III - apparently 117 is the funny number 33. Mark Buehrle* (29) 113 wins - see above discussion 34. Russ Ortiz (34) 110 wins - no 35. C.C. Sabathia* (27) 108 wins - potentially 36. Mark Mulder* (30) 103 wins - no 37. Kelvim Escobar (32) 101 wins - no Johan Santana* (29) 101 wins - obv has the potential 39. Paul Byrd (37) 100 - no Chris Carpenter (33) 100 - no Shawn Estes* (35) 100 wins - no Jon Garland (28) 100 wins - hmmmm lol 43. Jarrod Washburn* (33) 97 wins - no 44. Darren Oliver* (37) 96 wins - no 45. Brett Tomko (35) 95 wins - no 46. Brad Penny (30) 93 wins - no Jeff Weaver (31) 93 wins - no 48. Carlos Zambrano (27) 92 wins - has the potential 49.

Ted Lilly* (32) 83 wins - no Jake Peavy (27) 83 wins - has the potential So there's your top 60 active leaders, the ones in bold are the potential hall of famers from Buehrle's age range. There's only 11 candidates bolded from the ages of 27-33 Pedro is a stone cold lock for the hall of fame. Best pitcher of this generation. Arguably the best of all time

QUOTE (DBAH0 @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 02:59 PM) I can't see Maggette choosing the Bulls over another team with the MLE. He'd either play for his home town (Orlando), or with a major contender (Boston or San Antonio). But I think the Spurs will get him. Otis Smith wants to re-sign Dooling, and maybe bring is Chris Duhon if they can split those 2 over the MLE. And yeah even if we signed Maggette, our bench would be terrible (unless you played Turk off the bench in a Manu type of role). But SVG plays his starters for 40 mins a game anyways. Maggette is from Chicago
