QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 12, 2011 -> 10:02 PM) That was the number on the video screen they showed. It is still April if they are playing well and the weather warms people will be out there especially if the cub does not pick up. Tampa was 0-6 and not worth going for. It was great weather to work outside for the first time all year. All excuses but they are valid.

What is pissing me off is that s***ty hitters are beating the Sox and John Danks can not go more than 5 innings. Everything further I can handle.

The A's are not a draw and the weather sucks. They drew over the weekend just fine. Come on folks let's ease up a little.

Tony Pena really has not purpose on this team. Why can this team not find serviceable pen arms. They are either complete s*** or closer potential.

Fly balls aside I could go with a little less of giving the outs away on the bases, 2 more tonight.

Say what you want about the dropped fly balls but Thorton is 0 for 3 in save opportunities. The dropped fly ball was a 310 foot fly ball the opposite way after two line shots. Thorton is not a closer.

He hurt that ball. Can we pull back on the stolen base attempts when it is 85 and sunny.

Floyd is dealing.

Yankee fan told me Phil Hughes FB is down 6 MPH and they think he is done.

Nice inning there.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 02:04 PM) Hawks lost, and now Detroit has to lose for Hawks to make the play-offs - for those who care Dallas amazing though that 97 points will not get you in.

Nice 4 seamer there

Who ran over Humber earlier in the game?

6 ER. Somehow I think this team is actually overconfident.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) 94 mph straight fastballs from Thornton isn't going to cut it. The Thorton to closer move had disaster written all over it and may go down as one of the worst personnel decisions this organization has made. You saw this in Baltimore and Minnesota last year and it is holding true through six games this year. He is Latroy Hawkins.

Thorton does not have enough pitches to be a closer and this team should have realized this. His FB is good but he is a one pitch pitcher. Danks is also the best 5 inning pitcher in baseball.

The Rays offense is terrible. It is NL bad. Danks should put up numbers similar to Jackson's.

Johnny Damon's ball yesterday was the same that Lastings misplayed as well as the same type of play Fuld messed up yesterday. IF it was misplayed itis a 3-2 and the pen is coming in. There is nothing Milledge could do better than Lillibridge. I thought Milledge could play the outfield he can not. Therefore he has no role on any team.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:36 PM) Only the Cubs won the first two. I know that but they atruggling to be a team a home that can esily lose 100 games and the D'back starting pitching has shut them down and they suck.

cubs are keeping me entertained at least. the D'backs are terrible and they easily could have swept the cubs at home.

please walk butler

fathom there is your inconsistent hitting from inning to inning....84 MPH "heater"

Go check out the footage of the Chris Young bloop homerun in the cubs game if you want to see bad baseball at a price of $18M.

Do backup catchers hit .700 agaisnt the Sox, they all seem to?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) Masterson is a good pitcher, especially if his command is on. and what about Jeff Francis?
