July 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:02 AM) Matt Holiday just hit a grand slam. After being down 12-2, the game is now tied at 13. Crazy. You guys are just too fast for me. I can never be the first to post anything of significance around here. I hate you all!

July 21, 200916 yr not really. Blackburn had nothing from the first inning on. something like 11-12 hits in 5 innings of work. It was just going to be 'one of those games'
July 21, 200916 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 10:23 PM) A curve and low 90's to upper 80's fastball isn't that good when you don't have great command. Plus his change-up never ended up being good enough to allow him to effectively get righties out. Thats why I think he'll make a good reliever in time. Key word being, in time. He's so much like Arnie Munoz, it's scary. Once he got bombed in the majors, he was never heard from again. Although Gio has shown better minor league success, I agree he is reliever, if anything down the road.
July 21, 200916 yr Ha. I went to bed and it was 11-2, figured we would still be tied with Minn when I woke up. That's awesome.
July 22, 200916 yr Wow, Twins down 12-1 after 2 vs. Oakland. Thats 2 out of 3 games their pitching gets demolished by the hard-hitting A's.

Glad to see someone else get thumped by Oakland for a change. Man, talk about a team that should be making a deadline deal...
July 24, 200916 yr just want tip put my 'tip of the cap' to Buerhle for todays performance. thats pretty awesome. Perfect game, another no hitter, World Series ring, and if he ends his career at 275 wins, he is a HoF'er (although thats probably a ways to go since he never gets injured)
July 24, 200916 yr Angels score 2 in the bottom of the 9th to tie it against Nathan. Amazingly, that DOUBLES the career runs (1) scored in the history of the Angels against Nathan....a ground ball hit up by the middle by Kendrick bounced off 2nd base when it would have been the end of the game. GMJ ripped a single down in the count on a breaking pitch prior to that...everything coming up roses for the White Sox so far in this amazing day (well, technically Friday morning now).
July 28, 200916 yr The Tigers have a two-game edge over the White Sox, and despite losing three of four to the Tigers, the White Sox still improved their playoff chances by 8.4 percentage points. The White Sox took three of four from Tampa Bay earlier in the week and Detroit dropped two of three at home to Seattle. The White Sox are closing the gap on Detroit in simulations because the Tigers have more games against the tough AL East teams than the White Sox, and Detroit is 4-13 against the AL East.

July 31, 200916 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 07:54 PM) Zumaya officially done for the season Curse you, Guitar Hero - Metallica!
July 31, 200916 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 06:54 PM) Zumaya officially done for the season This is going to be a battle of attrition in the central. Tigers have lost Zumaya, Twins have lost Slowey.... It is going to be 83 wins for the post season.
July 31, 200916 yr Zumaya being gone might be a bad thing for us because he's sucked ass for most of the year. He's got absolutely no control.
August 1, 200916 yr Indians were celebrating on the field like they won the WS after trading V-Mart, DeRosa, Cliff Lee, Francisco and Garko tonight. They really needed that win after blowing the 5-3 lead on the Guillen homer. Minnesota continues to really miss Neshek. He was the glue of that pen, and nobody they've tried in the 7th or 8th (Bonser, Bass, Ayala, Crain, Guerrier, Keppel, Mulvey, Balfour, Rincon, Humber) had/has had any success on a consistent basis getting the game to Nathan over the last two seasons.
August 1, 200916 yr Guerrier's been lights out this year. If you get to the 8th behind the Twins (especially at the dome), you're kind of screwed.
