QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) Is anybody actually entertained by the HR derby? I'll watch it on mute.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 06:22 PM) LOL. I get so tired of the "everybody gets a trophy" culture when it comes to booing players. Dunn is a class act and I could never understand some people can't separate the player from performance. He sucks, knew and was never afraid to talk to reporters or come up with lame excuses. Too bad, his maturity could have rubbed off on Ozzie and Cooper. Um, the booing is for his performance. I don't care if he is a class act or an asshole.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 04:17 PM) Add to that, the Habs have to realize that Montreal would eat Kaner alive. Blackhawks fans on the whole have become almost as meatheady as Cubs fans, and haven't cared at all about Kaner's exploits. If that went down in Montreal, that fan base would crucify him. The Montreal fan base & media make those following the Red Sox look quiet & sane.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 02:36 PM) Sure, fans pay their money and have the right to boo their own players, but this in part helps highlight (amongst many other reasons) why there's no good reason to do it. Hope many people feel at least somewhat ashamed today. Why would people feel ashamed? This story doesn't make those boos any less deserved.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 02:37 AM) I see David Glass walked out on a 610 radio interview yesterday after the questions turned to him possibly selling the team and asking him about spending money. The natives are really getting restless here. People think of the Midwest as friendly. Tonight the 40,000 at Kauffman Stadium booed Matt Cassel in the celebrity softball game heavily; the Missouri fans there rained boos on Bill Self and even former Royal Mike Sweeney got booed. I mean that is acting like Red Sox fans. Wow! Tonight at the Home Run Derby, Cano will be booed and jeered heavily for not picking Butler to compete. KC is the laughingstock of baseball the past 20 years and people here are really pissed. I mean booing Self and Cassel was embarrassing. And booing Sweeney? My god. What did he ever do??? What in the world is wrong with Mizzou fans booing Bill Self? It's the biggest rivalry in the area. I'm sure a Mizzou coach would be booed by some Kansas fans too. And an NFL quarterback that makes big money and sucks will get booed in any town. Why they would boo Sweeney I have no idea.

Anyone else notice that Andy Murray was British before the final, but suddenly was Scottish after he lost?

Hasn't Big Papi gone with the bunt towards 3rd base a couple times?

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 08:42 AM) What, you didn't like his "You can put it on the board, gone!"? "He hit that one to "insert KC suburb""! He uses that one about 20 times.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 03:08 PM) No celebrations for Chris Perez today. It's normal to give up a triple to Carlos Pena, right?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 06:39 PM) One more week. Ahhhh. I was out of town for 5 days, so I'm still only through season 2. Don't think I will finish by next Sunday, gonna have to avoid this thread for a while.

And going into the All-Star break, the two best records in the NL belong to the Washington Nationals & the Pittsburgh Pirates.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2012 -> 06:53 PM) So that Melky Cabrera for Jonathan Sanchez trade hasn't worked out well for the Royals, has it? I called that from day one. If you can't control your stuff, it doesn't matter how good it is.

Gonna be interesting to see how Federer handles the entire stadium rooting hard against him. On the other hand, the pressure on Murray to win will be enormous as well. More importantly, my girl Radwanska is gonna f*** Serena up tomorrow!

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 11:39 PM) Boy are the Twins bad. How fast they fell. The other night I assumed they were going to hammer Detroit (after a nice lead), I watched the game only to see that was short lived. That has to be a frustrated city of fans. What are they going to wait for? Football season? No light at the end of that tunnel. Kevin. Love.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 09:08 AM) I picked Price for the long run, simply because of injury fears. Exact same thought here

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 06:12 PM) I don't get how a player like Youkilis could be hated by some baseball fans, I liked him even when he was a Red Sox...you can tell he cares about winning. It's easy to like players like that. The same reason so many fans hate AJP

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 06:26 PM) After his first AB today, Luke Scott is 0 for last 37 somebody came off the DL too soon?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 11:54 AM) Can someone fill me in on this Sox-Twins game? I've been a fan since birth and right now, it's just not coming to me. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MI...201007180.shtml

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 4, 2012 -> 12:13 PM) Suter and Parise signed identical contracts. How cute. Minnesota Wild = Miami Heat???? If anybody was gonna sign them both, I'd much rather it be Minnesota than Detroit. And if Minnesota ever gets relevant again, maybe we can start rekindling the old Hawks/Stars rivalry. The other positive is that the Hawks have not lost a top player from last season. Detroit is minus Lidstrom, Nashville minus Suter, with no obvious replacements.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 4, 2012 -> 08:42 AM) I don't think they're skipping it solely because of the all star game...they're skipping it also because they're desperate to give him some extra rest. And if he sits on Sunday, it buys him Sunday and Monday off, a brief outing on Tuesday, and then Wednesday off, giving him maybe 1-2 innings over 8-9 days. They were also saying that a rest for Sale has been planned around the all-star break for a while now, whether or not he was selected.

Was Heath starting or relieving in the minors? Can we expect to see him pitch several innings on Sunday?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 3, 2012 -> 09:45 AM) Peavy currently in 2nd behind Darvish, the numbers were not released only the standings. It would be nice if we can get him in? Any coalition with other clubs out there? Freese and Jake ? Red, White, and You! '12

Jason Terry to Boston, 3 years paying the MLE

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 3, 2012 -> 12:48 PM) I was unaware that Ortiz was a Mariner. Nor that Asdrubal Cabrera was. Both players were signed by Seattle as int'l free agents, but neither of them ever played for the Mariners.
