Dewayne Wise.

Okay, starters. Wise isn't a starter.

 

And Rios doing well to impress the crowd.

Oh, damn Rios.

Who tags the trail leg?

 

Alexei Ramirez.

Who tags the trail leg?

 

He clearly tried to tag the lead leg. You act like the throw was on the bag.

Who tags the trail leg?

 

Everyone, when that's the leg below you when you're able to put down the tag. C'mon, Fathom, you know that I think Alexei's a lousy shortstop, but he wasn't at fault there.

Bannister has a 12+ ERA in his last two starts. I expect AT LEAST 8 runs before he exits the game, or else this is considered a fail on the offense.

No contending team should lose to a team starting Betancourt and Bloomquist.

It's a good thing that it's only a 3 run lead.

 

Buehrle needs to settle down.

 

That last inning was some bad, bad luck.

I actually came across this a few days ago when I was reading about Rios and Vernon Wells.

 

He really IS the worst everyday player in MLB:

Great job, Buehrle! You just gave up a two-run bomb to literally, the worst player in the MLB!

Once Peavy gets here our rotation will be unhittable. Until then Buehrle, Danks and Floyd will be mediocre.

Dye and his -17 URZ is pretty sweet.

Thank the lord. Nix can hit homers, thats for sure.

NIX!!!! I LOVE JAYSON NIX IN THE MANLIEST WAY POSSIBLE!!!

3 -2 game 2 hr shot Nix!!

I really like Jayson Nix.

 

And Hawk is funny.

NIX! I can't believe he kept that fair after all the ones he normally hits foul. Please keep calling for that curve, Pena.

btw, rios is bad

Nix swings like a robot version of a baseball player. Sometimes, the ball goes out of the park.

Hopefully Beuhrle won't give any back the next inning.

If this guy clicks, he's one of the best in the league. His glove is tremendous, and that power is REAL.

Once Peavy gets here our rotation will be unhittable. Until then Buehrle, Danks and Floyd will be mediocre.

Yes, Buehrle, Floyd, Danks all with era's under 4, completely mediocre.

Nix with .800 OPS

btw, rios is bad

 

It's always hard to judge players when they switch teams, as they're always trying too hard. Right now, Rios is a little pull happy. He'll be ok, he's a legit talent.

I like how Hawk was getting on Jayson for taking a pitch. When in reality he was just waiting to get a pitch to hit.
