QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 07:20 PM) Bit off topic, but why is it EVERYTIME I look at the scoreboard, Detroit is playing some s***ty team while we are playing a solid team. And yeah, I know MIL is only 1 under 500, but still. They'll get St Louis with Pujols. In my best Maxwell Smart voice: Missed it by that much

Nice K there. Javy did labor quite a bit with the Pujols-less lineup.

Once again BA throws home when he shouldn't.

Yay

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 11:24 AM) Ozzie is going to take his players anyway. I don't think it's as easy as Ozzie bringing anyone he wants from his team. You have to take into account that each team gets at least 1 representative. For instance, if for some reason 3 or 4 crappy teams wind up getting an outfielder as their lone representative (On top of the 3 that get voted in), there may not be enough room on the roster for someone like Dye.

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 02:59 AM) and I'm pretty sure Barrets suspension just started... No. He was out yesterday with back issues. The appeal results are expected early next week.

When's that jag Barrett going to serve his suspension?

I'm waiting for the trade Pods thread.

Could get interesting here if Ozzie has a guy plunked.

Hawk just dry heaved into the mic.

35 pitch at bat by Dye.

QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 01:10 PM) Back to player sightings, I also remember seeing Robin Ventura walking on Fullerton and Clark with his wife back in 1990 on a saturday morning. I was across the street and heard someone say GO SOX and the guy was pointing to a guy that looked like Ventura when I realized dang, that is Robin Ventura! Cool. Back in '99 I was able to wait on the entire Sox team. I worked at Fahrenheit (now defunct) on Milwaukee across from the old Iggy's. Was pretty cool. Some of the guys were very friendly but I tried not to act like a tool and ask for autographs and stuff. I played it like I was used to that type of clientele coming in all the time. After the fact, Sirotka and Parque came back a few times and had me wait on them.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 01:06 PM) Do you know what optioning a player to AAA is? If you know baseball, you do. If you don't, then its confusing to you. It made perfect sense. Yes I do. To me the press release read as Riske was traded for Lopez and the optioned player Tracey. Why is that so impossible to comprehend?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 01:03 PM) If you don't understand Baseball, yes that is true. However "optioned" is quite obviously a verb in the article. It's not a matter of knowing baseball. It's a matter of knowing the English language. And it's quite obviously a verb to you, not to everyone.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 12:55 PM) made sense to me. The word 'optioned' could be construed as an adjective. QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 12:58 PM) Only if you're reading with your eyes closed. Seemed perfectly fine to me. Thanks smart ass.

Poorly written press release. It almost sounded like Tracey was part of the deal.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 12:35 PM) But we have Coop!!! That should straighten him out right quick! Exactly. Like he's straightened out Garland, Garcia and Vazquez thus far.

QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) I'm not impressed with Mackowiak. Great. Start a Makowiak sucks thread.

1-1 Tigers and they still have men on the corners with 2 outs.

Tigers with a 9th inning rally.

Well this game is close to being over.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 07:56 PM) he would have sucked...his ass got saved by ozzie and cotts. he wouldnt have finished the 6th :headshake

I love hot DP action.

Another game against Dracula...
