QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 04:40 PM) Any chance Ozzie knows that Beckham hits righties better than lefties? He makes the f***ing lineups so go piss on a statue.

Why don' they just DFA Lillibridge at this point? This is ridiculous that a lame ass, lazy f*** like Rios keeps getting chances even though the GM stated that he doesn't need to be out there because of his contract.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) Can you imagine how fast that was?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 03:51 PM) I was more interested until I saw the previews. The idea sounded cool, but it looks like monkeys goring cities. Meh. I'd rather have seen the process of how they got to that point versus everyone getting their faces ripped off. From what I've read that's just the final act.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 03:39 PM) No they wouldn't. No one will ever hit .160 on the Yankees. LOL, Ok pal.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 03:40 PM) Why do you say that it's surprising? I wasn't interested when I first heard about it, but the previews have really made it look appealing. I don't know. Maybe it's the CGI or the fact that the last Burton film was so lame. Regarding the CGI; I hate CGI used for humans or animals. It just looks completely fake to me and the apes in the previews are no exception.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) I am all in favor of good roster moves and De Aza is worth a shot, but Alejandro has one hit mind you since his recall. Of course it was a 2 run game winning homer, but still it is the only hit he has gotten But does De Aza dog it like Rios? He hustles in the OF and runs everything out to first. I can't say that about Alex as he looks like the laziest piece of s*** this side of Jamie Navarro.

The new Planet of the Apes film is getting some surprisingly good early reviews.

I don't know about you but I could go for some p**** right now. Note: make sure to spell out the correct word in the url to get to the right page. think kitty cat.

Woohoo! Rios in the lineup again tonight!!! I love that guy!! Go Ozzie!!!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 12:52 PM) I think Balta's point is that whether she is attractive or not has nothing to do with it. Even if she was not what most people consider to be an attractive woman, Oney's statements would still be incredibly offensive and inappropriate. Don't mind greg. He only understands literal interpretations of things. He's the same person that would think that Ozzie did a great job in a particular game even if he made several incredibly terrible decisions and we somehow won the game in spite of them. 'A win' = 'Ozzie did an excellent job managing' in greg's mind.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) 1.) All those managers you listed have their detractors too. It goes with the territory. 2.) Oney is a moron but that has nothing to do with Ozzie. Even Lauren said in her post that Mark liked playing for Ozzie. 3.) How can KW get a pass. My gosh: Adam Dunn, Rios and Peavy, Gio, Hudson, Richard, et. all. If you don't like Ozzie for what he's done lately, Kenny is on a death spiral with the roster. Are you on Ozzie's secret payroll or something?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 12:13 PM) Unless it involves Alex Rios or Adam Dunn. Those guys are so good you have to ignore the splits.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 3, 2011 -> 09:40 AM) It's reflecting the slew of terrible economic data lately. Don't patronize me buddy.

I heard Oakland was talking to Tatupu.

Yikes. The DJIA is really nosediving lately.

Caught the first part of 50 Documentaries to See Before You Die last night on Current TV. Good stuff.

Ozzie is obviously out.

QUOTE (Paulie4Pres @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 07:48 PM) All I have to do is listen to the guy talk... The choice of vocabulary, the lack of understanding for the English language, his ignorance towards fans and media. The guy is a total douche bag. I guess nobody remembers the derogatory comments he made towards Mariotti. The anger-management classes. The sensitivity training. Ozzie wouldn't be able to last a week in ANY other job in this country with the way he conducts himself. There's being outspoken, and then there's being Ozzie. Professionalism and respect are two words that are definitely not in Ozzie's vocab. The dude didn't even go to high school. He doesn't seem like the book worm type that studies all sorts of subjects to expand his horizons to learn. And just look how immature he acts in public. It's not an act. He truly has the personality development of a 15 year old.

I think too many progressives were excited that someone with a "D" next to their name was elected without taking a step back to realize that there's virtually nothing progressive about the candidate.

Konerko likely to miss tomorrow as well.

I'm amazed that anyone here still thinks Rios has a place in this lineup. I'd throw anyone out there in his place, including one of our pitchers.
