Come on brian, just give us a damn reason to keep playing you. YAY!

Uribe better be taking 2.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 12:11 PM) Yep. It sucks. THey are on a roll and we are struggling and this is the kind of stuff that happens. Which is why it's time for our guys to show some balls and get th is game tied up.

Man, we are just not getting any breaks today. We're about 6 inches away from this being a 2-0 game.

By the way, Red Sox still winning, but it's now only 4-3. Clement approaching 100 pitches. Roman Colon on for the Tigers, his first outing since his start against the Yankees.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 12:02 PM) It set up our 7-8-9 quite nicely for next inning. Any word today about Thome? Probably back on Tuesday.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 11:56 AM) I'm not talking about batting average. You have to be joking if you think Mike Sweeney is at Anderson's level. You're right. Mike Sweeney is a better hitter than Brian Anderson. But that doesn't mean that Brian Anderson can't improve, which is sort of the point of looking at data like that. Mike Sweeney is not going to hit .170 for the season if he comes back from the DL, and Brian Anderson is not going to hit .158 for his career.

That's terribly sad. Tetrahydrogestrinone gets to keep that record for another year it looks like.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 11:49 AM) Is BA the worst hitter in baseball? Some of the other worst hitters in baseball (by batting average): Mike Sweeney Jason LaRue Tomas Perez Brian Anderson Casey Kotchman Marco Scutaro. He's doing pretty bad, but he's not the worst.

By the way, it's 4-1 boston over Detroit right now. Bottom 6.

QUOTE(Grindersrule @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 11:46 AM) Does anybody like Ozuna as DH while Thome sits? Pods in left, Gload back on the bench. He didn't exactly show it there, but I think the extra rest has already done PK a lot of good.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 11:46 AM) Buehrle was still allowing the hits. No, Buehrle was allowing the ball to hit the bats. Once that happens, the job of the defense is to catch the balls, which they failed to do.

That hit is owed to Roger Bossard.

Pablo tries to make up for the diving misses...take 2nd Pablo.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 09:38 AM) But will thery really? Do you watch a news program for the host? Do you know of anyone that has switched networks or programs to follow a host? Sure, you have Stern on radio, but I am talking TV news. Or even football for that matter. I hate that networks keep giving Madden a job, and giving him a raise each time they do! He stinks, and I don't know of anyone that would watch a different football game just because he is announcing. Locally, I liked watching Ron Majors on Channel 5, but when he switched to ABC, I didn't follow. I just don't see the appeal. When Rather left CBS and Scheiffer took over, CBS News's ratings began a steady climb that hasn't stopped yet. When Jennings left ABC/Died, ABC News began gradually giving up the top spot in news ratings. I believe NBC with Brian Williams currently has taken over the top spot that ABC had a stranglehold on for quite a while with Jennings, IIRC.

Mark...it would be nice to have a winning streak going when the kitty cats come to town. It would also be nice to win a series against a team with a winning record. Make quick work of these bastages.

Wow...actual intelligent, good baseball from our offense. It's been a while. QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 05:35 PM) Podsednik would have scored regardless of the stolen base, but hey, atleast it increases his totals. It must have thrown off Padilla's rhythm!!!!1 It also made the sac fly an option, but when you don't need it, who cares?

Wow....we actually executed baseball well this inning. I'm amazed.

QUOTE(IggyD @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 12:59 AM) I suggest you read "Was the 2004 Election Stolen? in Rolling Stone Magazine". I don't find it very funny or a theory when a Political Party subverts the Constitution and Voting LAWS. It happened. Face it, your party has been hijacked. Oh, I did not know it was a rule that a person must stick to the topic. I guess YOU only formulate discussion and do not change the topic by trying to berate a person....HUH Salon.com reply to that article..."Was the 2004 election stolen? No."

What are the odds of any of the next 3 guys even moving him over?

At least scott tried running

Get him over, get it tied. Get his ass running. Barajas is 8/23 in throwing out base stealers this year.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 04:58 PM) One of our super subs has to have a big game. Wake up Mack or Cintron and Crede needs an early summer 3 run homer with Thome out. This team does way too much of the waiting around for a 3 run homer any more. Last night the Halos stole like 6 bases on Victor Martinez, I don't think we stole more than 1 or 2 off him in that whole 4 game series.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 3, 2006 -> 04:56 PM) Awesome job Javy. If only you could read this thread. You'd realize how insane this losing streak is driving us, and force the rest of the team to grow some balls.

Wow. That went a lot better than I expected.
