big inning.

 

three guys you gotta get out before the big stix come up

Haaa

 

Collaro.

 

Now mention Eggy./

Bad news...Lugo is 3-3 with a homer today.

Hawk, you f***, you missed Egbert.

Hawk mentions these guys like they are future HOFers. How come when they bring up pitchers from Charlotte they look like they would have problems against Pony League teams?

He got DLS

I wonder if D'Angelo Jiminez is available.... i hear he still has 2 tools left.... and really changed his attitude.

please, hawk.

 

BA has eight homers in a band box.

 

Borchard hit the ball out in charlotte.

 

and Collaro is a 24 year old guy in AA. He's got 107 strikeouts and an on-base percentage of .311.

 

if we're counting on collaro, owens and sweeney in the outfield, we're in last place for sure

I wonder if D'Angelo Jiminez is available.... i hear he still has 2 tools left.... and really changed his attitude.

 

He was 1-21 coming into today, I believe. The funny thing is he was putting up amazing numbers in AAA...just like my old pal Timo, who I really miss.

Please, no more God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch. It's for Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

 

That being said, this guy is good.

way to get a 1 2 3 inning there.

do they only do it on Sundays?

Anyone else read the funny story about PK's botched attempt at a tribute to Buehrle before the 8th yesterday?

fast game.

 

players swinging early in the count.

 

got flights outta town to get away from this train wreck for the all-star break.

We need to get Timo, D'LO. and Julio Ramirez back for a reunion and then designate them all for assignment.

Yay, Cubs lose!

Time for the Futures game

What if Epstein were more willing to give in to KW's demands of 2 top prospects and a 3rd good prospect if the Sox were willing to take that s*** contract off Theo's hands? Would that still be a fireable offense?

 

Lugo would have negative value from Boston's end.

Yes it would. I've long said I would have no problem if the Sox are also getting Ellsburry and Bucholtz or something along those lines.

I disagree. We do both at every Yankees game and I think it's a nice tribute, especially considering what is still going on in the world. It only takes an extra minute and they still do Take Me Out to the Ballgame right after.

kinda cool that everyone has a hit this game, even though we only have 10 hits.

 

check that, 11 hits and Thome has 3.

Someone let me know when DLS pitches

Why do I have this sinking feeling that KW is gonna get s*** for Buehrle? God what an awful situation.

You and I are similiar in our emotions, but just take a step back and let things happen. Worrying about it right now isn't going to help anything.

its going to be Buehrle for someone who has a favorable long term contract and a couple of prospects.

 

Kenny loves the old contracts that USED to be ridiculous.

Someone let me know when DLS pitches

 

I want more Poreda!

He was pretty sick last year...... won the silver slugger at 2B..... his glove is below average .... but i think he is still maturing and will hit 30 HR some day at 2nd base.

'05: .297/.320/.458/.778

'06: .342/.365/.525/.890

'07: .272/.312/.414/.726

 

He's walked a grand total of 49 times in his career which has led to an IsoD (OBP-AVG) of 27 which is absolutely terrible. His power has actually disappeared altogether this season, he only has 5 HRs and his doubles (according to MLB.com) have mainly been ground balls down the lines, not a lot of drives deep into the gaps.

 

So he doesn't walk, doesn't hit for much power, gives you a nice average, plays poor defense and has average speed. I'd rather just find a poor defensive, semi-athletic LF and stick him at 2B. He'd be cheaper to acquire and could give you similar production.
