QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 02:42 PM) Play Vizquel at 2b tonight and keep Rios in the lineup, he's had plenty of rest. This. Unless there is something wrong with Rios that we don't know about.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 02:36 PM) Kotsay looking pretty good in the three hole today. If it works, I don't mind eating what I said about not liking him in the 3 hole. I will keep saying it thought, it appears he does not like when i speak bad about him. Maybe next AB I should say his wife is not as hot as everyone says she is.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 02:11 PM) Can't we just release Andruw Jones? There's absolutely no point to keeping him on the roster anymore. Not that I would mind Rios playing everyday, but isn't he our only other option for CF?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 02:03 PM) I don't have that feeling that he will blast one out. Well that is reasonable.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 02:00 PM) Muscle up here Quentin. I was at yesterday's game and predicted BOTH his HRs. I'm just saying, if I wanted to, I could make him hit a HR right here... Ha! What is holding you back?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:56 PM) 4 pitch walks to Kotsay. He rightfully pitched around our 3rd place hitter.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:51 PM) Brew Crew give Yovani a 2-0 lead Very nice. Floyd K'ing the side as well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:43 PM) Stunning that this 7-8-9 didn't get a hit the first time up. What is actually stunning to me is the only one to get a hit 1st time through was Kotsay. I still don't like him 3rd in the lineup.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:36 PM) I hate listening to that guy, he tells the same damn story every time hes on Not only is it the same story...each time it makes less and less sense.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:35 PM) Oh great, Moose in the radio booth for the next 2/3 of the game. Oh no. The radio booth is bad enough without him...now it is probably unbearable.

For those actually watching..does Floyd have as good of stuff as the early K numbers would indicate or are the Bravos just hacking up there?

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:26 PM) I do not like Melky Cabrera. Didn't he break up a win streak last year on a Sunday against the Yanks. Get him out GFloyd! Yeah I think he hit for the cycle that day. CC vs. Buehrle? And I think I was in Long Grove, IL that day...I remember the stupidest stuff.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:19 PM) Prado with a web gem. (though I missed it) He made one either last night or the night before as well. He looks to have pretty good range over there at 2B.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:18 PM) Pelfrey, Santana, Niese Thats pretty good news.

Let's hope Gallardo has it today vs. the Twinkies.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 01:08 PM) Because Mark Kotsay has earned the 3 spot He can't even bat 3rd for the Royals. The only that REALLY bothers me this year with Ozzie is his love for hitting Kotsay near the top of the order. I understand he has to play with what he has...but he WANTED Kotsay.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 12:53 PM) Hypothetically...if Rios does need 3 offdays out of 6 days, isn't that the point of the rotating DH? Again...Ozzie doesn't subscribe to the logical sense most of the time.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 12:33 PM) wow... why wouldnt you go... Pierre LF Ramirez SS Quentin RF Konerko DH Pierzynski C Jones CF Kotsay 1B Viciedo 3B Lillibridge 2B Because that lineup would make logical sense.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:38 PM) Oh my f***ing god, Russel Martin just cost the Dodgers the game. WOW That is one of the weirdest endings I have ever seen. A non-balk call pick off. Reed Johnson lolligaging home and not making it before Martin gets called out. And was he really out?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:36 PM) Matt Kemp is just a complete and utter mess right now. Yeah that was bad, but how was that not a balk? Where could he possibly think he could go. I have him on our Soxtalk keeper league and he is killing my avg right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:30 PM) Considering Putz's K/BB ratio, any chance Ozzie makes him the closer and moves Jenks lower than Linebrink in the bullpen? And I really hope someone just saw Brandon Wood's error to start the 9th. Nope was watching MLB Tonight..they just switched to it now. Was it a butcher job? Get to listen to Vin Scully too...very nice.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:28 PM) No K's over his last 3 outings. Concerning to say the very least. If he doesn't pick up his strikeout totals he's gonna start to get shelled. I have only seen the last couple...but he hasn't really gotten deep into counts in most of those AB's right? Yesterday was 1 pitch, today he threw like 3. Or is this just sarcasm...can't tell. :-)

fathom all over it the last couple of days....winning brings out the funny in you. Instead of just the pessimism.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:27 PM) Kalapse, I'm concerned about Jenks giving up the leadoff single in the 9th. Melky was all over that first pitch. That's not going to get it done vs AL teams. Ha!
