  1. I thought Johnson couldn't hit at the big league level?
  2. QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 10:20 AM) I'm not trying to be drastic, but after the GIDP last night (that could have been a real momentum shifter back to the Twins), I revisited his stats. I've always been a fan/apologist, but it seems that Beckham has really been sinking recently, and sinking badly, AGAIN. Let me be clear - I don't recommend taking him out of the lineup - I think we live with him for the rest of this year. One hole in the lineup like this is is not going to kill us. However, I see no signs he'll finish any better than a .240/.300/.400/.700 hitter, and that's just not good enough. For his career - four now severely subpar splits of .245/.311/.380/.691. He's hitting as bad as he was in April in July - and July's almost over. Since the beginning of the 2010 season, his OPS is around .660. Can we live with this for his defense? I think at this point, we're pretty damned sure what we're getting. Slightly above AAAA offensive skill and a great glove. Average speed. Not enough power. Not enough plate discipline. Not enough of an eye. Not quite enough of anything else, really. I feel badly, but I think we're watching the end of his career these next two months... not a chance his career is over after this season unless he gets injured. it's possible he may lose his starting spot but at the very least he will stick around MLB as a utility IF for quite some time if his glove remains solid
  3. QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 09:42 PM) Dammit they cut to commercial right as Myers name was announced. I wanted to see if he'd get booed at US Cellular. He didn't, crowd here was indifferent small applause. Im guessing most peiple here never heard of the guy
  4. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 01:43 PM) I do not care about a person's personal or religious beliefs. I don't care if you're an adulterer or a racist or whatever. I do care about a 6'4, 240 pound man striking his wife in the face multiple times. I will not cheer this scum at all. So just to be clear, you won't be cheering when Brandon Marshall scores a TD for the Bears this year right? Involved in domestic disputes, gun violence, etc. that's a bad dude
  5. QUOTE (Carter224 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 11:44 AM) I wonder how many of you are going to be cheering on Brandon Marshall this season This^ seemingly a double standard for many folks
  6. Nfl x100 times worse than MLB in terms of scumbags/convicts. Doesn't stop people from cheering for the likes of Michael Vick, ray Lewis, Marvin Harrison, etc. doesn't make it right tho. Then again the nfl can seemingly do no wrong in the eyes of many. I'm not a myers fan personally but it won't stop me for cheering him to do well when he's pitching for the sox
  7. QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) White Sox NEVER win a game this way, but they lose a s***load this way EVERY year! They beat the Yankees in similar fashion this year, albeit it wasn't a walk off because it was in new york
  8. Wow Gordo with a hit actually now we need ads to snap out of his mild slump despite the 2b earliertoday
  9. Offense heating up again! 30 runs over the last 3 games. I think it's time for another run to put some big distance between us and the rest of the division
  10. Wow that was one of the most tentative tags I have ever seen by a catcher on a play at home like that
  11. If only this team played as well at home as they do on the road...
  12. Anyone else notice Lexi batting avg up to .249? Wow, that was quick considering he was hanging around .200 all season. Now just needs to get the power numbers up
  13. QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) HELL YES. Who else thought it was out? off the bat, I thought double and tie ball game for sure
  14. gave it ride...OVA, best game of the year!
