It's time for our crooked run inning right now.

K would be huge here.

Nice play Alexei !

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 11:24 AM) As amped as I am for Tank, I was more excited about Slayer. All it takes for Beckham to keep hitting is us using the nicknames

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 11:23 AM) Big smile on that kid's face. He just crushes lefties.

Beckham rising to the competition with Tank.

Way to go Tank !

Cmon Q show us you can hit without men on base now.

Keep on throwng up the 0's Freddie.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 11:12 AM) I thought of this too If Dayan sticks around and you can't trade Teahen, he'd essentially make one of Andruw/Kotsay need to be cut if you acquire a power lefty. That's why I think Andruw is trade bait. Especially with seeing Kotsay in the OF the other day.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 11:10 AM) Man, that graphic suggests Gavin has gotten screwed the last 2 times out. We didn't need a graphic to tell us that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 11:07 AM) Good grief, we're never going to hit a home run again! If we keep wining I don't care.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 11:07 AM) This is where it becomes tricky, due to Ozzie's refusal to use Omar for mop-up time. You could cut Frodo, but then you have no real pinch runners. Andruw could be cut, but he's your only real back up OF. Kotsay could be cut, but you lose a pinch hitter. My guess would be Frodo however. Also, if this game were at the Cell, Dayan & Rios would have 2R HRs If Vicedo sticks around and plays 3rd Ozzie has to use Omar for late inning D . No way around it really.

Lannan's going to get crushed soon.

or get a hit.

Come one Alexei show Dayan how to take a walk.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 11:01 AM) I prefer a HR or Walk Guy with a .280 avg over Kotsay. Kotsay will still be around even if we pick up a hitter. Guy who can get hits pinch hitting are pretty useful. That should be his role not batting 3rd or 5th.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 11:01 AM) I prefer a HR or Walk Guy with a .280 avg over Kotsay. Forgot to add and a good fielder

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 10:55 AM) Dunnnnnnnn Not bad but I think I prefer more of a gap hitter OBP .280+ type rather than a HR or walk guy.

Caught a break then FG bunts into the DP.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 10:50 AM) I am hesitant to get seriously optimistic about this team until Beckham and Quentin begin to hit consistently. I love the starting pitching we've been getting lately but I can't see our staff pitching at this level the rest of the season. We need some hitting, and if we can't get it from outside the organization it has to come from Beckham and Q. Oh I agree no team can sustain this current level of starting pitching over the long haul and i said in the Reinsdorf thread we still need a big bat preferably LH.

Damn Morgan helluva job of running that down robbing Tank !

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 10:32 AM) I dislike this game not being on HD. And have we decided on Viciedo's nick? I think Cuban Tank is best, especially since it goes with Cuban Missile. So do I, or just Tank or The Tank.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 08:10 AM) Yeah, I was going to say...looks like someone is coming around, eh? Yea TB was one of the most outspoken when it came to this season being over . When I suggested all it would take is a starting pitching reversal I was told " It doesn't work that way. " Of course there's still plenty of people on the " it's the NL we'll suck again once we get back to the AL" boat. I don't care , wins are good.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 03:06 PM) Full article here: http://trib.in/deADtQ SunTimes - http://bit.ly/cOdlg3 Discuss? Jerry Jerry Jerry "good enough as is " ? Maybe to beat up on weak NL teams but we need a hitter , a good one, to compete in the superior league. Every game at this point is important , sure can't depend on winning a lot of games by scoring 3 or less runs.
