QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 06:24 PM) The word "MEH" should sum up his time with the Jays/Yanks. Good actor though. Can make the ump think he has a catch when he doesn't.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) That was awesome! She's going to YES Network, I didn't know that Me neither. Good luck to her though. She has come along way since those earlier Blackhawks interviews....

Wow what a game. Way to battle when with your starter sucking it up. Bullpen gets a gold star for the effort as well. Rios!!

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) I should have typed '97 and included Bartolo. Of course, there's always Manny, and I'm sure Julio Franco can still hang out some rope. If Kenny can talk Carlos Baerga out of retirement, he still has a chance to complete his collection of that team's full starting line-up. Jeff Manto was on that '97 team. I guess we can add him to the collection of Indians. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mantoje01.shtml

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 10:23 AM) He also seems to be pretty gifted as getting hitters to make changes, while making it seem like it was their own idea. He seems to be very solid at getting into the hitters heads. Great read and I totally agree with this. It's like he tries to get them to be confident by making them think they are making all the changes. For a guy like Rios that could be all the difference in the world.

Addison always keeps it interesting...thats for sure. Stupid meeting made me miss the last 5 innings. Oh well..Sox win!

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 09:46 PM) Gameday has a lot of balls in the strike zone. I was just going to ask if they look as close on TV as they did on MLB Gameday.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 09:41 PM) It's in the top of the 6th...so yeah it is. Thanks.

Is the Red Sox game an official game if it rains out?

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 08:51 PM) Given them runs just like old.......... Do the Sox think they are playing the Dome again or what?

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 08:30 PM) So, how did the crowd reaction when Liriano took the field? He's looked great it seems. 7 Ks, 2 hits, 2 BBs. I think he has retired like 8 in a row or something too, hasn't he?

Wow those were 2 rockets. Tough way to start inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:34 PM) Put it this way...if it was the Tigers or Theo making the same trades this year that KW has, we'd be extremely pissed off. And Baseball Tonight would be drooling over it. These are fantastic moves for what we gave up. Jacob Turner for Anibal Sanchez? Give me Liriano for EE and Hernandez instead. At least Liriano knows how to pitch in AL. I mean really? Turner for Sanchez?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 10:28 PM) Was the annoucement today about expanded replay, including traps, coincidence? Doubt it. JR and Selig are buddy, buddy. Not that JR has that kind of pull...but it was something that was needed.

Has anyone heard anything about ADA on radio or anything?

I kind of like the..."It's all good!" Hawk got that from the Twins game where they missed the trap right? I wonder how long he is going to keep that.

Alexei!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 09:56 PM) PK made an extremely tough play look easy there. Hamilton hits grounders with a ton of back spin. This. Only reason we still lead. Not every 1B makes that play.

And Thornton warming up...it gets worse.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 09:41 PM) Just an unbelievable effort by Sale This. Go through that lineup with a dead arm? Gutsy. Or at least lets hope that is just a dead arm. I am not doctor...but if I had to guess, it wold be a dead arm.

Hermy was laughing...hopefully ADA is alright. He is coming out though.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 08:09 PM) The hardest part for the Angels is the fact that he's going to get more money then Weaver, who is a better pitcher. Some guys that will annoy, Weaver might be the type of guy that it doesn't bother. That said, its kind of a travesty that Weaver would get paid less then Greinke cause Weaver is freaking money. Anyone know if Zack is starting tomorrow? I'm going to the game and would love to watch him instead of Earvin. Greinke pitches Sunday I believe...sorry.

It was a good crowd tonight..about 37K. Did the wave though...I hate the wave.

Awesome. I will be there! Sitting in my normal 105 section. Looks like that section will be full. I will be in my Ray Durham jersey if anyone wants to say hi.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 11:09 PM) Youkilis came straight from heaven for this team. I'm almost worried that he'll feel vindicated if he keeps doing what he's doing and eases off the pedal after this series. Hopefully Valentine kindly continues to supply material. Maybe call up a gas can loogy from the lowest level of their farm system to be an inning eater when they're getting blown out and have him wear #20. I don't think you will have to worry about that...Youk is a pro and a grinder. He doesn't believe in easing off the gas.
