Didn't Guillen call Morneau the best player in the AL after the 1st game. If he really believes that, why the f*** do we throw to him time and time again. WTF.
Agreed but pitching him in is ridiculous . I mean he's gotta be looking for one to pull in that situation. Away Away away to him and if u bust him in make it high and tight and knock his ass down.
From what Hawk and DJ are saying Griffey will just take Masset's spot and we'll go with 11 pitchers. Now when Crede, Linebrink , and Contreras get off the DL we wont carry 6 outfielders.

Who is going to hit better over the last 2 months of this season? This season right now. Konerko or Griffey. My opinion is Griffey.
I think so too actually. Here's some of Griff's numbers against the current pitching staffs of the Twins and Tigers.
Ken Griffey Jr. vs.
Tigers, Twins Pitchers
Category Vs. Twins Vs. Tigers
BA .364 .306
HR 5 2
RBI 7 8
Slg 1.091 .468

If he is washed up what does that say about Konerko. Griffey has been better at the plate than Konerko each of the last two years. And the same goes for Swisher actually.
When your 39 and had a ton of injuries its possible you are washed up. When your 32 and 27 its called a bad year.

they aren't the only ones. the deal doesn't make much sense to me either
Nor I unless Griff can turn stay as hot as he is at the moment. 1 less crap bat (Swish, PK , BA, Wise) in the lineup I guess.

Anyone watching the deadline special on ESPNNews?
Steve Phillips just said that the Sox added another lefty to a dominant left-handed lineup. Uh... what? And Kirkjian just called Nick "Massay".
Massay is the French pronounciation . Kurkjian just showing how international he is.

Does anyone think the Brew Crew may make Sabathia or Sheets available? The Cubs are crushing them.
Not a chance.
